Plain and simple: bought a Vizio TV 55 inch flat screen from reputable third party. TV worked for one year and 4 months. since it was out of warrany I was on the hook to fix. Well, the guy tried to fix and took a month and a half., only to find out it cannot be repaired. Vizio states tough nuts...they offerred to sell me one for a slightly reduced price! Wow! Do Not Buy a Vizio! I have had TVs and nothing like this has ever happened. Also had to pay repair guy $50 to boot! Never ever buy a Vizio...price seems cheap but they do not stand behind their own products and have very poor customer relations...I vow to personally tell 100 people to not buy what they're selling.." Buyer be very aware"
