I hadn't given thought to internet apps.

Currently looking Samsung 46" LED, locally $1399 after $85 rebate, at both
Costco & Best Buy.

Amazon doesn't save us in taxes as they & we are in the same state.

Will send your info below to my DS the geek.

How many inches is your Vizio and how far are you sitting from it? I was
standing 10' from the 46" and felt like I needed to be back further, just
not use to it be so "in my face". ~ jan

I agree with Chip. Our TV developed a red/blue/green line across the top of the
screen knew it was time to get another TV. I did my due diligence in sorting thru
what kind of TV. I read lots of review on Amazon. I came up with what was important.
1. backlit LCD
2. smart dimming
3. high contrast ratio (mine is 2,000,000:1)
4. 240Hz sps LED LCD
I ended up with a Vizio from Amazon, one with internet apps altho Roku has an
internet box (for watching movies on netflix, Amazon, etc) that can just be added on
later. I thought about changing my service from regular to HDTV and Dish would not
work with me. I would have to pay 100 bucks each to replace my two receivers, then
pay another 10 per month for highdef, then another 10 a month to "rent" my second
receiver. I just said no. The picture is fabulous and when I go to netflix thru the
internet the movies come on highdef anyway as will any movie played in my highdef DVD
player. When I free up a spare laptop I may plug into the TV so I can surf the web.
