Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
Find me a 32" TV for $500 that has the quality and longevity of a Vizio. Nothing in that price range comes anywhere near what Vizio offers. Sure it's not Samsung or Sony, but it's also half the price.
So true. For the money, you rarely can beat a Vizio.
Or you could buy a Sony or Samsung for under $700, or a Toshiba for under $600 (where did you get $1000 unless you are talking about something that is 1080p?)
I worked retail selling TVs for a looong time before I graduated college, and if you are saying Toshiba is better than a Vizio, you aren't actually looking at the TV. And yes, I am comparing 720p to 720p, and even the cheapest closeout last years model Sony/Samsung are still nearly $200 more. I know 699.99 is "under" $700, but not enough to make a valid point.
you mean to tell me the Sony, Samsung, Sharp, or Toshiba's offerings, while being a $100-$200 more won't last me 13 or 14 months?
I've been working retail selling TV's for the past 2.5 years, I can't tell you how many unhappy Vizio owners I've met. Really pisses them off when their TV craps out on them just after the warranty expires. Not to mention they have the most consistantly poor picture quality of any brand I've seen.
Is it HD or SD, I can't tell on a Vizio. And not in a good way.
Never had a problem with mine, and working retail I saw very few people ever come back with defective ones. My parents works fine, my old roommates works fine.
Although I can't argue with the "I personally have had a bad experience so this brand is crap to me" logic, I feel the same way about Dell. But if I can't argue that, you can't argue against my "It works great for me with no problems, I love it" attitude.
