A big-screen TV with a not-so-big price

What about Sceptre?; $1300 1080p 42" LCD: I'm just curious how the Vizio units compare to Sceptre units, especially the 42" one mentioned in this article. Costco.com is currently offering the Sceptre 42" 1080p LCD model for about $1300. I had bought one earlier this year and the quality of the display was great as long as you were using the HDTV tuner or a high resolution input device (DVI, HDMI, even VGA, and also component cables, such as with an XBOX 360), but when using the built-in NTSC tuner, the quality was terrible, so much so that I ended up returning it (and I agonized over the decision, because all else seemed to be good).

So, I wonder how comparable the Vizio is feature-for-feature, and how different the pricing will be? I wonder how good their NTSC tuner is (let's face it, NTSC will still be with us a few years yet)?; Posted by: tr7oy Posted on: 12/17/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
