7/9/2008 6:33:35 PM

^^yeah i know, i had heard nothing but good things about them when i bought it

it's a VX32L


^that's the thing... i was willing to pay more... but it seemed stupid to do so when i literally saw no negative reviews of this product online, it was rated higher than the Samsung panel i was looking at, and it was cheaper.

hopefully they pay someone 100k a year just to handle calls from gays cause those are almost like trying to sell an indian a car at a dealership

7/9/2008 6:35:14 PM

that didn't make any sense

7/9/2008 6:36:55 PM

dnl, you need to utilize the Backspace button a little more often. Just hold it down til the screen goes white again.

7/9/2008 6:37:59 PM

hmmm thought of a good thread

awesome

7/24/2008 8:03:41 PM

Why did support tell you originally that they won't do anything to help you?

7/24/2008 8:04:46 PM

because they're reading from a script

7/24/2008 8:06:16 PM

Maybe but I doubt that's where the script starts.

7/24/2008 8:06:58 PM

that would be awesome

7/24/2008 8:08:47 PM

thats why you buy shit at costco. they always take shit back. ALWAYS.

7/24/2008 9:19:00 PM

you could totally be making this up for some E-cred

7/24/2008 9:26:29 PM

you bought a vizio....what did you expect

7/24/2008 10:15:35 PM

a good TV? What's wrong with Vizios?

7/24/2008 10:16:41 PM

yeah i've really never met anyone that had a problem with their vizio

(well, except for myself)

7/24/2008 10:20:10 PM

I've got the same tv and have never had a problem with it.

7/24/2008 11:25:09 PM

dude we see this happen ALL the time at work.

And since its after 30 days we tell 'em to call/email/bitch to Vizio, not us XD Unless they bought our shiny service plan (which most vizio customers don't due to the price of plan:price of tv ratio), in which we put em on the phone with our ppl to make an appt. for service, obv.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

7/29/2008 1:46:42 PM

did you really do the executive carpet bomb?

7/29/2008 1:48:15 PM

if it only worked that way in the public sector, this country would be a much better place

no joke

7/29/2008 1:49:57 PM

^^yep.

^inorite.

7/29/2008 1:51:34 PM

i emailed chancellor Fox and CC'd Tom Stafford (student affairs) and the housing department after we had sent in numerous requests for pest control in the dorm. the last straw was a giant centipede looking thing crawling on my roommate's bed.

next morning before noon people were in the building spraying for pests. the resident director was not amused, but fuck the chain of command. i was a paying customer.

If you bought a good TV in the first place you wouldn't have to deal with this

And I don't know why people trust internet reports. There's no good statistical reason to do so.

hell they try to cover too much shit up. i yelled at mine after i bypassed his ass b/c they didn't replace my damaged bed before i moved in. i was calm at first, but he sat on his fat ass and did nothing.
