1080p HDTV thread

Very nice. I actually don't have a Costco membership at the moment, but since I'm moving into my house in a week it seems like a good time to buy some bulk items and possibly a TV, too.

Dude once you own your own home, it is a necessity to get a Costco membership. I think that they should just come with the purchase of the house because you will find yourself shopping there for a lot of things (oddly enough you can get some great deals on plants/trees etc there).:D
 
Yeah, agreed on the membership for home owners. I had a Sam's Club membership for a few years but I didn't really have the need for any bulk items or the outdoors stuff.
Now that we own the house, we're prepared for Home Depot and Costco to own our souls.
My first purchases are going to be a freezer for pizzas, meat, etc. a mini-fridge for my beers (I'm a craft beer nut) and the new TV for my basement.
 
I got the Vizio 47" 1080p LCD when Costco got them in.. They are very worthy of consideration. I got lucky with a coupon and got it for about $1600. They're around $1800 normally. And it was before they started the 90 day return policy so it's guaranteed for life! :D

It has 2 HDMI, 2 Component, 1 VGA, and some composite and svga (dunno how many as I don't use them).

It does 1080p on HDMI and Component. But VGA, you'll have to tweak it to get it to 1080p. Works fine for 720p though.

The PS3 and 360 hooked up via hdmi and component looks fantastic.

WE DEMAND PROOF!!!! (in the form of pics):D
 
You know, I was scared of Vizio because of those lousy commercials. I figured it had to be garbage...or at least their advertising team sucks.
How is it?
 
There's nothing really WRONG with Vizio per se... however, if you are gonna drop in the neighborhood of 2k on a TV, make sure you get something that's what you want.

I have another suggestion...

try Crutchfield.com. Their prices are a little higher than other web based retailers, however, they include shipping on everything they sell, additionally, they have a no questions asked 30 day return policy.... includes the return shipping if you get a dud...

If I hadn't bought my LED DLP there, I'd be stuck with it.... and the rainbows.

My suggestion, if you are going to buy a 2k television, buy it somewhere with a rock solid return policy and buy a first tier brand.
