Costco has some deals on LED LCD HDTV’s and this weekend I picked up a 47″ LED LCD TV from Costco. It was a Vizo brand with a 2 year warranty and using the Amex card extends warranty an additional year so I’ve got 3 years of coverage on an $800 TV.
I brought the TV home and was quickly disappointed with the TV stand as it didn’t swivel and worse yet, I had installed it backward which gave the TV a 10 degree inward inclination.  I attempted to call tech support and was prepared to return the TV until I decided to try spinning the stand around and then the TV was mostly vertical but still not 90 degrees.   Ultimately, I’ll likely mount the TV so the stand won’t matter much.
That’s really the only complaint I have with the TV except that it may be too large for my bedroom.  It’s a 47″ LED and its razor thin and the color and picture is good enough.   There were a few other TV’s in the display aisle that clearly had a better picture such as Samsung, Sony and an LG model but they all cost $300 to $500 more than the Vizio.   Since this isn’t going to be the major entertainment center in our home, spending $800 for 47″ LED was fairly reasonable.
By the way, these things were flying off the shelves…I saw FOUR leave the floor while I was standing there deciding on whether to take one home or not.
