1. It's got to be a descent price, none of this $2,000+ crap. Even though I've got a great job I still try to go frugle.
2. We want a 47 inch
3. LCD, Plasma has not be rated very high
4. We want the HDMI so we can plug a computer to it.
5. It has to have the 120 Hz for my sports loving husband
So with this as our wishlist I've come down to choosing between the VIZIO 1080p and the Sony 1080p Bravia
Vizio:
It has all the specs we want but we heard it doesn't have the great resolution as Sony and Samsung. Something about the black and white is rated low but if your not picky than it's a great buy! It's definitely the cheaper of the two but I don't want to be that frugle if it's going to be obviously bad resolution!
Sony Bravia:
This one has the best resolution, and it's the best name brand (under Samsung). It is only a 46" (off by 1" so not that big of a deal) but's almost double the price of the Vizio.
So anyone that has heard of these T.V.'s and can give me any advice to choose between the two that would be great! Then after that I have to find an entertainment center to hold it.

Let me start by saying that I totally understand what your husband is looking for. The Samsung and Sony do have much better pictures, but I really didn't think they are worth it. When you are watching dark movies that are not connected via component or HDMI, you will notice that the black is not as black as it could be. If it is connected via Component or HDMI and you have an upscaling DVD player, or a Blu-Ray player, it won't make much of a difference. When it comes to sports, the Vizio definitely is plenty good. I watched football all season long in HD, and I had no problems. There is no blur, and the Vizio's screen is very crisp. I think that you will be totally happy with the Vizio.
The truth of the matter is that you (and Sam) won't notice any difference when you are watching it, either movies or sports or regular TV.
My sports-loving husband says that Sony is the way to go. But I say if the Vizio is that much less expensive, go for it. I promise you won't notice the difference.
