Sorry if this doesn't belong here, but it sure was a great deal for me...
I bought a 50 inch Vizio plasma TV at Sam's Club about 8 months ago for a little over $2200.00. After 8 months, it was already getting burned in, which was very noticeable when watching a movie like 8 Below on wide screen. With all of the white background in that movie, the center of the screen had a yellow tinge to it (the area that normal TV is viewed). I wasn't too happy to have this happen after only 8 months, and I know that Vizio will not do anything about it. So I called Sam's and asked about their Satisfaction Guarantee, and they said to bring it in and they would replace it. I brought it in, and they gave me an upgraded model (the old one was pretty much just a monitor, this new one is also a tuner). While the girl was doing the paperwork for the return, she asked me how I wanted the refund. I really didn't think they were going to give me any money back, but they actually refunded the difference in price from 8 months ago, so I came out of the store with an upgraded, brand new TV and $622.00 in my pocket.
Even if you don't get a cash refund, if your Vizio is getting burned in, it's definitely worth doing this to get a new, upgraded TV. Call your local Sam's first to make sure they'll take it back.
