As have I. The Vizio line seems like a hell of a value.
But I want to know about durability.

Which is why I was hoping I could get a first-hand testimonial here.
I think Rick owned one at some point.. :thinking:

Roommate and I picked up a 32inch Samsung HDTV tonight, CoD4 looks amazing on it, as do BD movies.

I'm looking at the 37" VW37L if it makes any difference..

My friend bought the 42" Vizio. He hears a lot of popping sounds which I read a lot of the Vizios do.

Apparently it's the LCD light warming up or something.

You don't have a cable box to run HDMI or component? If your old set picked up channels from the coaxial, might have to setup up the tv to look for them.

Well there is a channel scan but it doesn't have any signal...I just unplugged it from my old TV which worked fine...
