Reliable, not so much. This tv lost the picture less than 5 months after purchasing. I spent about three weeks with Sanyo arguing about getting a new t.v. or an answer to the problem we were having. It took an email to the BBB, and our state Atty General's office to get them to move. Customer service was non-existent. I will NEVER buy Sanyo again!

Please see PC magazine review of this TV. It has good information for your question.http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2704,2171794,00.asp

I bought a tv from 6th ave about 4 years ago and was happy with the service. They were dirt cheap on a price and I worried something was 'up' but everything was fine and I didn't get hounded by them to purchase a warranty. Hope your experience is the same if you go that route.

I do not have any recommendations. Just a reminder, this TV does not have USB playback for video and only 2 HDMI ports plus the T.V stand is static (i.e does not rotate)

Deb,,I've had our Seiki TV now for a little over a year now and so far so good. Of course it doesn't have all the bells and whistles like a Samsung TV but then again, a 40" Samsung is like $300 more than what I paid. As I said into review, I got a great deal on a Black Friday apecial at Brandsmart that was muck lower than any deals I've seen on Amazon. It even has 3 HDMI connections that is more than some of the more expensive models. Hope that answeed your question.

I purchased this tv from Amazon and everything went fine. As a matter of fact, I have purchased many things (50+) from Amazon and have not had one issue. I know you are looking for responses from people who have had issues, but don't let them scare you - they are highly reputable and from what I have heard their customer service and return policies are excellent. Do not hesitate to place your order, chances are you will not beat the price. With free shipping it is a steal. Plus they bring the tv right into your living room, take it out of the box, set it up, and make sure it works before they leave. I purchased this tv from Amazon and everything went fine.

I ordered a 4071f from them, and it appeared to be a brand new tv. It was in very good shape. I decided it was too small for my living room, but it was in really good condition. That has been my experience.

I am very happy with mine. The first panasonic TV I bought lasted 25 years and I have been buying panasonic ever since. I now own 4 and they all are working great.

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.

As for reliability, this is a very reliable TV, I have had it for few months and had no issue with the TV, as for phasing out, I am not sure about that, I guess Vizio will have to answer that question. If you plan to get a reliable and affordable TV, this is it. (I am not a Vizio representative)

I agree with Brad with his assessment of the TV; The B550 is a superior set, in brightness and general picture quality as compared to the A-series. There are some very good deals out there. A friend of my bought one from Expo for a great price and is fully satisfied with it. The problem seems to be a years' worth of praise and satisfaction with the 'A' series and not nearly as much exposure with the "B." Too much worrying about a TV that performs admirably. Enjoy

I have the 55 inch 8000, if you don't like it you probably wouldn't like any TV. Go see it at a retailer and play a little.

Thanks for the reply. I went with the T260HD which was $50 less. When I get the TV I will post how I like it.

Its a great little TV, good picture and sound, as far as durability gos, no electronics are really durable, but you could get an extended warranty if you are concerned.

I bought the Vizio 80" about a month ago and so far I'm not disappointed. It is used in a theater room at an apartment complex and has performed well so far with good feedback from the users.

Thanks for the suggestion. I can afford to until after superbowl.BTW, I noticed that Amazon got rid of the MAP price for this TV today. The price is 1139 officially on the site. No adding to the cart business.
