I got this TV the semester before I graduated from college. It was my pre-graduation gift from my parents. I had always really wanted a big screen TV and was happy to get this one. Only problem was about three months after I had this TV if you turned the TV on it would click like it was trying to come on then click off. There would be no picture and I wasn't able to watch anything on it. After speaking with Samsung about the problem they sent a tech out to check it out. After replacing a board inside the TV they got the TV working again. No worries right? Wrong... after about six months there was a small strip down the middle that was cutting the picture in half. It started out small then ended up being about one centimeter in width before I decided to call Samsung again. They sent another tech guy out to take a look at the TV and he was going to replace the screen in the TV. Before they got the new screen in I received an email from Samsung saying they were just going to give me a replacement TV. Of course I said yes and about a week later the new TV arrived and was brought in.
Since technology is developed at such a fast pace this was the only equivalent they had at the time, which I was more than happy to receive. The original TV that I had was a 720p HDTV with two HDMI ports, two composite ports, and the obvious coaxial port. The new TV that was sent to me is still a 720p HDTV but is 3D enabled (which I don't really care about), has three HDMI ports, two component ports, one composite port, one VGA port, one 3.5mm audio port, and the RF input. It also weighs about 20 pounds less than the original one that I had. The picture quality is not noticeably different but the utility is a lot better. I love the fact that I can plug my computer in it so I can watch TV shows online. So far I have had this TV for over six months without any problems except the occasional flares I get when I play certain video games.
Now the problem to overcome is the fact that I can't play video games while my fiance is watching TV on it. So my next step is to get another TV that I can use solely to play video games on. So I'm pretty excited someday to get another one and so here I am looking at what is out there to get an idea, not that this will happen for at least another four months or so. I definitely don't need another 50 inch TV so I was thinking something between 32 inches and 37 inches. Since Vizio is the number one TV producer I thought I'd look into what they have. This is what I found.
This is a LED LCD HDTV... mouth full huh? It has three HDMI ports, one composite/component port, one VGA input, (hopefully) the 3.5mm audio input, and the obvious RF input. It also weighs about 25 pounds which is tiny compared to the current TV I have now. I'll let you know what I decided to do in a few months from now.
