I've never seen another one like it. Friends have told me they were available at military post exchanges so military personnel would have a TV that would work worldwide.

When our very very old Phillips died, I got JVC multisystem TV on ebay. It is actually five years now, still works fine.

Bird, I don't try to be smart with a sales person, only when they are pushy

I didn't mean to imply that you were being smart with them; only that I understand why they don't know what you're talking about.

I was in Sears tonight and saw the difference in a plasma and LCD. The salesman didn't point me one way of the other. Said they're all pretty good

Actually the more I'm talking to people the more of them that are telling me that the Panasonic models are pretty good. I got the feeling that the Visio isn't a bad model but it's the bottom of the model line and the step up to a Panasonic isn't a bad idea.

Either way it sounds as if the extended warranty is the piece of mind idea. I wouldn't be happy paying for the TV in the second year for free with a broken TV out of warranty....

Does anyone know for sure? I have heard that with plasma screens there are only one or two manufacture of the screen itself so all brands are using pretty much the same screen.

Really love our Panasonic 50" 720 plasma Viera. Beautiful picture. Reasonable price.

So I'm looking at a Visio 50" and wondered if I should get the extended warranty.

Comments please gents.

Thanks Bob

Good Afternoon Bob,
My wife bought me a 32" Vizio last Christmas for our Vt home, I am really happy with the TV ! We have the Dish network up there because there is no cable at that rural location. We have been 100% satisfied with that unit and would reccomend it to anyone !

My mom bought a 32" Visio from Wally world. I have 2 issues with it.
1) The paint has worn off almost all of the remote's buttons.
2) There is no button for adjusting how the video is displayed on the screen. Such as 4:3, Justified, Zoom, etc....

Her's is now about a year old. Hope the newer one's are better.

Good Afternoon Kyle,
Im not sure about my Vizio remote, I allways use the Dish remote and hardly ever use the TV remote for anything other than playing a DVD. I will have to take a closer look at it the next time I use it !
