I'm purchasing a Vizio 3D tv this Christmas and I am wondering if I can use a Sony or Samsung Blu-Ray player with the T.V. or if I have to get a Vizio Blu-Ray player?
You do not need to have the same brand for the tv and player. I would not recommend any of your choices at all. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on 3D tv along with the 3D blu ray disc player. Also the pro and con of each technology. Plasma is still considered to have the best picture quality of all tv in the market today. Panasonic and Samsung are the top brand for quality and reliability. If you read yahoo questions, you will notice that 95% of tv problems comes from LCD or LED tv and 95% of those are the bargain price tv. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. Hope this will help you out.
