I would stay away from it. The 120 Hz rate is awful. Plasma's have the highest refresh rates overall that I know of.

If your going to spend around 1K, there are much better TV's out there to choose from IMO.

thx folks, I knew I could count on you to set me straight

You can get an LG 60" Plasma with a 600 refresh rate for $798 - $898 now, depending on where you shop. I got one last year and love the TV. Great picture.

Brandsmart and HHGregg advertise them for $798 in my area.

Not a good deal

With 1K, you can buy a decent Samsung, Sony or LG

Bingo.

I would never pay that much for a Visio. Visio is not a top brand. Stick with Samsung or LG.

As far as the 240mhz model suggest. That's overkill at this point. You really won't be able to tell the difference.

Stay away from Plasma TVs.

Vizio is in fact a top brand. They make good TVs. I have a 37 inch Vizio LCD that i've had about 5 years. Never a problem with it.

That said, I would not pay $1000 for it. Like I said, I got it for $688 on Black Friday at Walmart.

Great TV , not the best price. The smart tv functionality is pretty awesome and the quality is above average. I think vizios are premium tvs and are on the same level as lg.

Good TV and the price is actually right. It's a large LED, hence the price. A plasma of the same size would obviously be cheaper. Nothing wrong with the brand either. They may not have the cache, but Vizio moves a lot of units.
