WARNING: Never purchase a VIZIO television. I first purchased this TV in June of 2007 from Costco. Three weeks after purchasing my television it would no longer turn on. Costco replaced it because it was within 90 days of the original purchase date. My 2nd TV lasted 2 years and 3 months to the day. This morning my TV made an extremely loud noise like a plane taking off. Then we heard a pop and it was lights out. Of course my TV is out of warranty! Vizio said they could do nothing even though this is the same complaint that thousands of other unsatisfied customers have made. I paid $1, 499.00 for a TV that didn't even outlast my grandmother's 1970 something tube TV that is on all day long every day! This company needs to be held accountable! I am now in the market for a new LCD and I will not be purchasing a VIZIO product! Buyers beware because VIZIO does not build a quality television.
