Vizio VP505XVT 50 Inch Plasma

With the market diving and consumer confidence at its weakest, TV manufacturers will need to step up their game– and drop their prices. Known for their affordable HDTV sets, Vizio has recently decided to go upmarket with their new XVT line. This model, the VP505XVT, raises its sights by producing sets with specs that rival Sony’s high end offerings– and cost a few benjamins less. So if you want to have the latest and maybe greatest but are a baller on a budget, Vizio’s new tubes are worth a peek.[$1699 at vizio]
