    Got my first HDTV recently I was very overwhelmed when researching. I am not expert in this area by any means and the more I looked the more I realized I had to make compromises. Buying a middle of the road tv set meant i had to prioritize what features meant most to me and I found myself relying heavily on reviews which is something I rarely do for audio equipment. I remember reading very good things about the Vizio XVT553SV.

    Cool

    Glad to see Vizio drew some blood in these picks, exelent TV for the price.
    Thats why they sell so many of them.
    BTW Smoke, which TV did you say you finally bought? Buying an interim set right now
    is a good strategy what with so much shaking out in tech going on..

    Other than user's reviews, it is really hard to find professional reviews of run-of-mill TVs. Most of them tend to review higher end TVs, or niche new TV's gadget.

    AVSForum is also pretty good, but some of the members think too much of themselves.

    I always wondered who that guy was who waited until 1989 to buy a color TV, waiting for
    them to "iron out the kinks".
    Glad to finally meet him.
