I usually don't like to recommend any items if they aren't 100% USA made. Lately, I have been thinking things over in regards to that philosophy. I found a great TV that is manufactured in the USA but the parts are from overseas. The company is VIZIO and they do make a really great TV. They sell flat panel TV's and they are headquartered in Irvine, CA. VIZIO products are available at valued partners including WalMart, Costco, Sam’s Club, BJ’s Wholesale, Sears, Circuit City, Dell and Target stores nationwide along with authorized online partners. The prices are very compatible with other brands. Next time you go to Walmart or Target, check them out even if you're not in the market for a tv.
