Anyone know the concensus on which brand is higher quality, Vizio or Westinghouse? I've seen some good and some bad Westinghouse reviews. A friend at work suggested Vizio, and said his next tv will be a Vizio.

These are the two I've been looking at. It appears neither company has any 120hz models out yet, but I'm not sure how much I care about that feature.

Ok I found the screen I'm going to buy. http://www.engadgethd.com/2008...120hz-memc-technology/

The 47" 120hz Vizio. I don't really want to spend so much for a Sony or Samsung, and this brand appears to be great quality for the price. I'm also going to get the wireless sub and rear surround speakers that Vizio is offering as an optional package. I always wanted surround sound but don't want wires!
