I sold my 32″ Insignia LCD HDTV to a friend and upgraded to a 42″ Vizio LCD HDTV. I also picked up a Toshiba HD-A3 at Sears on their Black Friday sale. I still have my Philips HDD/DVD recorder, Harman/Kardon AVR 247 and my Bose Acoustimass 16.

nice set up your receiver, Harman/Kardon is really good. I have an AVR 5000 which is old but still sounds good like all their products.

PPl don’t get it if it’s American company (even if it outsources) it will be cheaper labor (Asia) and all the rest of the politics along w/it. But Buying American will be more cost efficient for the most part, w/anything. I’m looking to get the 52″ by them as stated they get good reviews! GO VIZIO!

Set em’ straight! I like ya setup! Enjoy! I enjoyed the Vid! I love how HD Universal comes up. Thanx
Insignia is so much …
Insignia is so much better than a Vizio. The picture quality and sound is far more superb on the Insignia. Remember that Insignia is made by LG, who is becoming one of the best electronic companies. Vizio’s quality is cheap, does not display a full HD picture, and speakers pick up static and makes awful noises. But hey, when you buy cheap, you get cheap.
