I agree with (unverified). As a brand, Vizio has a well deserved bad reputation for not lasting long. Even at this price I wouldn't want to replace this is 3 years or so.
Besides I haven't seen ANY LCD display that handles 24P like a plasma. Even a 240hz set makes film look "video-ey"
My SD DVD player, when connected to my HDVT's component inputs (or upconverted through my Denon AV receiver to HDMI) Looks just fine AT A PROPER VIEWING DISTANCE FOR THAT DISPLAY. (If you don't know what your proper viewing distance in check out View Camera Techniques by Les Strobel)
I'd love to buy 2 upgrades and upgrade my second suite to an intel/sata MacPro, BUT INSTEAD I'LL BE SPENDING $6000 FOR CLOSE CAPTIONING SOFTWARE SO I CAN MEET FCC REGS FOR BROADCAST!!!!!!!!! Talk about a feature that should be a NO BRAINER!!! Thanks Apple, It shows no matter what TV station they drag out they still have a FILM MAKER not VIDEO BROADCASTING mindset
THat being said Color looks GREAT. Our company has made it's name (long before 24p video) in making video look like film. This takes it beautifully to the next level.
BUT IF I CAN'T GET MY PROGRAMMING ON AT A DECENT TIME BECAUSE OF FCC REGS WHAT DOES IT MATTER!!!!
Sorry but this has been my hot button for 2 yrs now.
