Vizio SV420M 42" 1080p 120HZ LCD $849 at Costco

[idiotcanuck]

This is $100 off their regular price. Warm.
This was at the Toronto, Downsview location, but I assume it is available across the country. Unknown expiry date.
With the usual Costco 90 day return/2 year warranty.

Anyone know if they have $100 off their 46" model? Last I saw it was priced at $1099.

Has Costco got any 52" + models in stock yet?

Costco.ca does not sell the SV models online, instore only.

I think it's a 47", isn't it?
That Costco doesn't carry the 47", so I can't say. I haven't ever seen the
52" at least here in Toronto.

i think the 40in rca for 598 at walmart is a better deal.

not a chance. I wouldn't spend a dime on an RCA TV. I would consider a Vizio.

For the money it gets suprisingly good comments from users, it's just the reliability that would worry me. With an EW, probably worth a go, if you're on a strict budget.

Full-On/Full-Off Contrast Ratio: 1,052:1
This is about the same as an LG LH40, and better than a Toshiba ZV650U.

As a side note, the remote control for this tv will actually work on LG tvs and vice-versa. Does it mean anything? Who knows.

neither 1 is a sony or a samsung, so your taking a chance with either.

It does if you lose your remote.

Was looking at Samsung 42 plasma, but turned around and saw this for a bit more.

Picked up this LCD instead.

did a little research on the Vizio background, it actually came from a LCD OEM/ODM manufacturer in Taiwan.

The stuff should be decent enough to compete against the Tier one brand.

i bought my TV in July at costco, do they have a price guarantee or anything like that?
