I'm planning to buy a 50-inch Vizio for my soon-to-be-finished basement.

Does anyone have any advice on this one?

I've seen feedback from buyers that had it "pop" on them in under 2 years and I'm worried about that a bit.

Some questions I have:
- are there advantages to getting it at Costco vs. someone like Circuit City (if price is the same)
- would you buy a refurbished one from TigerDirect for $300 in savings?

 Thanks for your feedback.

Hi I wanted to see if someone can help, I have a convergence and pincushion problem . I replaced the STK's in the convergence circuit and 8 of the capacitors around them and I still have the same problem I was told that this should  clear the problem but it didn't ,does somebody else maybe have the solution? Also I if you had a service manual on  this it would be great if you could email a copy that would help alot Thanks will
