The Vizio looks good pricewise, but I can't see myself buying something that -- right out of the box -- is of lower quality than what I'd want. Right now, I'm eying the Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR5, due out in September. Don't know that I can really afford it (seeing as how I might have to get a new MacBook Pro pretty soon), but I'd probably rather wait until I can than go substandard.

(Of course, I'd really like Sony's 70" version, but no matter what happens, I don't see myself dropping 33 grand.)
