I too bought a Vizio 37" TV. Its cool except that it advertises VISIO all the time. I could put a piece of electrical tape over it - it goes from white to orange when its shut off. Mine is a 740p/1080i unit - I paid 550 for it as new, opened box from a distributor in North Austin who liquidates returns from Walmart and Target on Ebay. (Luckily I had to pay no freight. I picked it up at the warehouse in Vico's "chick magnet" custom 1989 Toyota truck.)
Its a great unit except mine had no old-style rca outputs for audio - the only output other than the speakers behind the plastic grillwork was a fiber optic port - compatible with Digital Dolby 5.1 so I spent another $70 for a modern, used Aiwa A/V receiver off eBay - now it sounds great too!
