Read moreI am quite impressed with what speakers you can get in the thousand dollar range these days.

I can't think of any other display company that's made a name for themselves as fast or as positive as Vizio has. I remember my college buddy got one a few years back and I laughed at him. Well, I was very wrong, as Vizio has proven to be a reliable & affordable way to get 1 (or 10) plasmas […]
