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?

does anyone know if Costco carries the high end Vizio XVT line?

was looking at this tv today and thought it looked pretty bad... though I guess I was half expecting it too

if they don't, return and buy this one.

Not that I have seen, anywhere in the GTA, hamilton or burlington.

Just the three month return, which in effect is the same, since as the other poster was saying, there's nothing to stop you from returning and rebuying at the current price.

Isn't high-end and Vizio an oxymoron? :razz:
