"can't do better for the money"
Pros: great picture, nice design
Cons: poor sound, fan noise
Summary: for 2599.00 (costco coupon price) i don't think you can get a better plasma. there are enough inputs, contrary to other reviews i think the design looks great, and the picture is beautiful.there is a problem with the fans, but i contacted vizio and was told the have a solution and repairs would start early esptember.you have to be realistic when buying a tv. there are better pictures sexier designs, better sound and all the inputs you could possibly want on other tv's but be prepared to spend at least 3500.00 to 6000.00 dollars.its like buying a car , you can't have all the options and expect to pay nothing for themUpdated
in my original review one of the few cons i had was fan noise. i'm happy to say that this problem has been resolved by excellent customer service from vizio. i contacted vizio by e-m , they responded by sending a service tech to replace the fans . now it is wisper quiet. as far as the other cons listed in the cnet review, i don't need a hd tuner or a cable card. as a result i would have to raise my rating to a 10

Saw it in CostCo, felt the display was comparable to the Pioneer Display.
Got it home was horrified by the fan noise from the monitor, couldn't hear it with the background noise at CostCo. Web search and I was happy to see Vizio was replacing the fans under warranty.
However....getting Vizio to replace the fans has been a horrible experience. I was first told I would hear from their repair facility within 5 days, no contact. Then I called back and then they say 10 days. After 10 days I called back, they claimed they sent the part, but the repair facility still hasn't called me. 4 calls to Vizio tech support, not an 800 number and VERY long waits (around 15 - 30 minutes each call).
