cannot compare as i dont know. All i can say is that the TV i have is fantastic, the 3D is amazing, colors amazing, vibrant white, black is intense. In my opinion the smart TV side is not so good as it freezes frequently. Screen reproduction is amazing... Its very shiny, like Glass so this has to be in a Dark room, very little light as reflections are an issue. Our living room has window shutters therfore its not an issue...

Yea I can't wait that long and I heard this TV has a horrible buzz issue so I'm sadly just going to downgrade a buy a PN50B650. It's the exact same TV except not as thin, yet still pretty thin.

Hi,I ended up going with the LG 50PX950 plasma, this is my first plasma and so far I really like it.I haven't been able to try the 3d yet, as my glasses were on back order and finally shipped yesterday.Like I previously mentioned, I really did like this TV except for the ghosting issues.

Best thing to always do is look at your HDTV's specs or user manual to see supported modes. about 90% of the TVs under 46" are 720p (1280x720/60Hz) so set your resolution to that. Vizios are better for 1080P under 46". Make sure your connections are tight and always start at 720P when you change TVs. Unless the box states it supports full HD start there.

J. Greer, which Best Buy did you get your TV from? The ones that I have visited in MI are not even carrying any 950s, I am not sure why. Also, did any of you compare the picture quality of the 950 with the 850? Is there a big improvement? Not sure which one I want to get, I realize one is LED and one is not but the A850 has a great deal on it while the 950 is on the expensive side for me. If there is a big difference I am willing to spend extra on the 950. Thanks!

I literally just ordered a KDL-W3000 52 inch television 1 hour ago. I did 3 months of research and although I am not sure how I'll fell when I get the television, I can say that I went for the w3000. I looked at some seocnd tier brands first, but quickly moved on to the main brands.... settling in on the Sharp D64 or a Toshiba 167 or the Sony W3000. Of course the Sony was the most expensive of the brands I was looking at. As far as picture and blur: I can not even tell you if I could see any difference between the w3000 and the XBR, so I went for the XBR. I did see one scene in a movie where I saw a slight amount of motion blur, so I am sure it exists.. the quesiton is, "how bad does the blur appear to you and what is it worth for you to minimize the blur" ? For me... the answer was in my order.. I went with the W3000. The price was $2309 no tax, no delivery fee.

Coby is perfect for a 2nd TV and it hardly gets used. I'm not familiar with Vizio. To date I have no complaints. Works fine.

Good morning Manny, before I purchased the Vizio M3D550KDE I too read all the reviews on this item and sought answers from other people that were much more tech savvy than I am concerning the same question you have posed and to no avail. I also read all the reviews on various other websites and was still confused, I decided to give it a try because it was the right fit for our media room, the price was right and this set had all the features we desired and having this item for a year now without any complaints I would highly recommend it to my friends and family without any reservations. Manny I would also recommend a high speed HDMI media cable and a high end blue-ray player, if you do not already have these items.

I've heard this models great with HD. But I'm not planning on updating the box or getting a newer generation gaming system quite yet.I currently have no TV. My goal is to find the most cost efficient TV I'll be happy with for years. In other words, one that handles SD well for now, but handles HD good enough that when I switch to it I won't feel like I should buy a newer model.

UPDATE: I was able to get in touch with a Vizio rep with some detailed info. He stated that the first round of shipments to Amazon have been completed and that they have them in stock. He said that Vizio will give them the green light to go live very shortly....no later than the middle of August. He confirmed the demand is extremely high for the 553....can't wait. I have the TV stand ready/Blu-Ray player ready and DirecTV on speed dial.

This is a great TV, every reviewer gives it top notch reviews, especially for the price, so yes, I'd advise the same TV. I bought it & Ihave a little pause when tuning to a new channel, Panasonic asked me to try a new cable, which I will do. I bought from Amazon.com, the delivery man made sure the TV at least looked in good shape when it was delivered...he took the box off, etc.We are very, very happy with it. Linda

Hey Oleg, I was just wondering if you might give me/us an update on the TV. I'm about to pull the trigger on the same model/size as the one you bought and just wanted to know how satisfied you are with your purchase. Also was wondering how well the 3D works, if you would be so kind. Thank You!

Neither am I. I did the same, researching different TVs and couldn't decide. I didn't want something with all the bells and whistles and finally decided on this one, mostly for the price. I think between the two, you get the same quality, just different brands. Hope this helps.

I believe the screen of the ST50 is as reflective as the VT50, which I own. If so, it's as reflective as the VIZIO. In overall brightness, Vizio wins, in picture quality and depth of definition in blacks and grays, the ST50 will win. That's no to say the Vizio's PQ isn't stellar. My VT50 is in a fairly bright room with no window opposite it to reflect back at the viewer. They are well off to either side. I think the brightness of my set is more than adequate in this situation.

Although I can not answer your questions, I can tell you that I would not buy another Vizio. The one I purchased a few months ago stopped working after three weeks. Televisions last decades not a few weeks. I would buy a Samsung, a Panasonic or an LG instead. I now have a Samsung and am very happy with it.

OK so I am thinking about buying this TV. I am most interested in picture quality and price, but of course there is more to buying a tv. So can anyone here tell me if they have buyers remorse, and if so, what do you wish you had done instead??
