Costco has a Westinghouse 26" for $279. Anyone have any reviews about this product? Also a 32" Vizio for $449. Anyone purchase or seen this one?
 
Can't really answer your question, but I see that Sears has a 32" Vizio on sale right now for $399. There are 15 reviews on this set that seem mostly favorable.
 
I had a 32" Wesinghouse bought at best buy. We had a power surge and it knocked the power supply element out of it and it would not work at all. Best Buy wanted over a hundred dollars just to come out and look at it plus parts if they could get it then labor to repair it. I had a local guy come and get it, he couldn't locate a part for it and after 4 months I had him bring it back. Finally I took it apart, located the part on ebay and chanced fixing it myself. Got it to work but the moral is be careful, parts are hard to obtain if something happens to it. I will say the picture was nice on it.

The good thing about Costco is they double the MFG warranty to 2 years, so that gives you a little more piece of mind.
 
I have no idea about Westinghouse. As far as Vizio goes, I have a few friends that have purchased these and they like them. They've recommended the brand to others looking for an inexpensive LCD with good quality. Also, Vizio received a CES "Best New Brand" or something like that a few years ago. I've heard rumors that the company was started by a bunch of disgruntled Sony employees, but I have not data to back that up.
