Vizio, Insignia, Dynex and other cheaper HDTV's have a dirty little secret...

[mht214]

Very old[implied/obvious] news.
BUT for those that live under a rock; this is informative.
And both Dynex and Insignia are serviced through any instore retailer.
Insignia = 2yr manufature warranty.



Insignia LCD's = LG components. thumbs up
Dynex = i can make a better TV. thumbs down

ignorance. just because its made by china doesn't mean its bad. alot of electronics are made somewhere else, especially china. Vizio has been around forsome time and has built a solid ground in the TV industry for reliaibility and quality

I thought LG lost the contract for making Insignia products for BB...

it's easy enough to say this.. but do you really believe there's no such thing as a good value? especially in the ultra competitive world of retailelectronics? i don't.... i think articles like these get pushed by the big boys (sony, samsung) in order to help protect their image... everyone knowsVizio's have improved a lot the last few years, yet their prices have stayed really quite cheap... and everyone knows they are overtaking sony and samsungin terms of name recognition in the HDTV world.

 

[hollakid619]

I knew there was something fishy about those companies. Thats how the customers save money, just get raped on the warranty

I only mess with reputablebrands. 50" Sony from the living room, 42" Samsung for the bedroom, & 22" Magnavox in the youngin's room

 

[southzeztpdot]

Um dont all of these high end brands get their panels from other companies ?

Smart consumers know that brands like vizio, dynex, etc always pop up every now and then but they don't have longevity. You might save moneyand don't get me wrong, I own a vizio, a lot of them have very good picture quality. But it's still never going to have the reputation that a Sony, orSamsung will have. Because they've earned that rep by providing quality products over a long period of time. Not just a short spurt of a couple years thenfading into oblivion.

Yes, for the most part. Do people not understand how a good portion of the products we use are made up of different elements from other companies?

 

[coolgraymemo]

my Vizio works perfect.

 

[wj4]

My Vizio's working in top notch condition and it's about 2 years old. If it should go out, it was $500 well spent. Friend lowering price below costbecause he was quitting FTW.

ive had my vizio since 07 havnt had any problems and i love it (knock on wood)
