    All my TVs are Samsung for a reason, except the 42" plasma I won, so I won't be too picky about it. Its eventually headed into my garage

    I have a 40" Samsung LCD in the bedroom and a 55" Samsung LED in the living room. I wouldn't ever get anything other than Samsung for a TV. They are not good...they are the best.

    The Vizio prolly has a Samsung board in it. These LCDs don't seem to last but a few years in general. I'm getting a 55' Samsung LCD 1080/120 delivered tomorrow from Amazon, read all the reviews, and lots of guys have these issues with Samsung too. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Vizio, just wanted the Samsung. Phillips is a decent budget alternative too.

    At my previous job we sold Vizios and I can tell you from first hand experience I would hesitate in a heartbeat to buy a Vizio. We replaced those things all the time. And the only return rate higher then them was probably the companies own brand of LCDs. In the 7 yrs that I ran/over saw the electronics department I can count on 1 hand the number of times I had a Samsung display go bad where as Vizios we were replacing 1 every other month it seemed like. They are nice TVs especially on a budget but they just dont hold up to long term use.

    From what I have been able to find,the problem is related to the power board or fuses.idk,but vizio has a bad rep and samsung is well respected so I am getting the samsung not to mention I am upgrading in every aspect,42 to 46,740 to 1080,60Hz to 120hz

    Preston - I've had my Samsung 55" LED for about a year and a half now. That TV is simply put...fucking amazing.

    It blows the 40" LCD out of the water.

    I wouldn't mind another 55" LED or larger for the basement when I redo it.

    My 42" is a LED and it makes my older 50" plasma look like a joke.
