    DISAPPOINTING VIZIO PURCHASE... this time.

    DISAPPOINTING VIZIO PURCHASE... this time.
    This TV replaced a 6 year old VIZIO 42" Plasma TV which I purchased in 2008, and am still using as a bedroom set... and it looks as good today as when it was new. The E600i-B3, however, has not done as well. At the young age of 2 1/2 years old, it already has one section of backlight LEDS that have burnt out, leaving me with a noticeable gray bar on the left half of the screen. It is very apparent when there is a lighter-colored background (see attached pic). This TV cost me $770, and I believe I should have gotten better service from it than received. I really regret, at this point, not purchasing an extended warranty, but going by the service I received and am still receiving from my old VIZIO, I didn't feel it was warranted... BIG MISTAKE. I do not wish to put any more money into this set given its track record to this point, so I will more than likely tolerate the gray bar until it eventually gets worse to the point that it is intolerable, or the set goes out altogether. One thing is certain, it will not be replaced by another VIZIO.
