my girlfriend wants to get a new TV. She wants a flat panel and something near 27" or more. I'm not too familiar with all of these new TV's, so what's a good deal and where? She doesn't need any bells and whistles, HD, or anything like that really.

I'm pretty sure LCD is the only way to go for this price, but that's all I know.

really, this is what i'd suggest to just about anyone who wasn't a die-hard video enthusiast...we have the 32" (which, i think, is probably their most popular size from what i've seen) and we have absolutely no complaints...honestly, unless all the vizios start crapping out in a year (which i seriously doubt they would), i can't imagine what the same tv for $200 more could offer

i was concerned about how it would look in our living room, which, by its horrible design, doesn't really let us put a tv anywhere that there isn't going to be some kind of glare...our old tube television was a nuisance for this, but the vizio LCD is great

I've got the 32" Vizio and it's perfect for me. Never had a single problem with it.

aighty, thanks. does walmart ever have a sale on the 32" vizio? she was hoping for closer to $500

personally, i'd wait until I could afford a decent HD model. i wouldn't bother buying a brand new TV without getting HD.


if she needs to buy something right now, i'd buy something used and cheap (i bet you can get a CRT model used for dirt cheap).

i got a olevia 32" at circuit city for around $550 in august. 720p/1080i, though kinda short on the way of inputs and the interface can be a little sluggish, but it has a great picture and i've been happy with it for the money.

+1 for olevia 32" LCD. I've got one I'd be willing to part with for $500 as I've been looking to upgrade to 1080p

olevia.
