Answer
To me, both are equally famous all around the world. Let's look at the facts of both icons :-
* David Beckham - Beckham's fame extends beyond the pitch; in much of the world his name is "as instantly recognizable as that of multinational companies like Coca-Cola and IBM." Beckham's relationship and marriage to Victoria, who has been famous in her own right as part of the musical group Spice Girls, contributed to David's celebrity beyond football.
David became known as a fashion-plate, and together with Victoria, the couple became lucrative spokespeople sought after by clothing designers, health and fitness specialists, fashion magazines, perfume and cosmetics manufacturers, hair stylists, exercise promoters, and spa and recreation companies. One recent example is a new line of aftershave and fragrances called David Beckham Instinct. In 2007, the Beckhams reportedly were paid $13.7 million to launch this fragrance line in the US. In the world of fashion, David has already appeared on the covers of countless magazines. In 2007, U.S. covers have included the men's magazine Details, and with his wife for the August 2007 issue of W.
According to Google, "David Beckham" was searched for more than any other sports topic on their site in 2003 and 2004.
Upon their arrival in Los Angeles on 12 July 2007, the night before David's formal introduction, the LAX airport was packed with paparazzi and news reporters. On the next night, Victoria appeared on NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to talk about the their move to L.A., and presented Leno with a number 23 Galaxy jersey with his own name on the back. Victoria also talked about her NBC TV show "Victoria Beckham: Coming To America."
On 22 July, a huge private welcoming party was planned for the couple at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art. A-List celebrities expected included Steven Spielberg, Jim Carrey, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Oprah Winfrey.
* Harry Potter - J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter series have been the recipients of a host of awards since the initial publication of Philosopher's Stone including four Whitaker Platinum Book Awards (all of which were awarded in 2001), three Nestlé Smarties Book Prizes (1997-1999), two Scottish Arts Council Book Awards (1999 and 2001), the inaugural Whitbread children's book of the year award, (1999), the WHSmith book of the year (2006), among others. In 2000 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was nominated for Best Novel in the Hugo Awards while in 2001 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire won said award. Honours include a commendation for the Carnegie Medal (1997), a shortlisting for the Guardian Children's Award (1998), and numerous listings on the notable books, editors' Choices, and best books lists of the American Library Association, New York Times, Chicago Public Library, and Publishers Weekly.
The popularity of the Harry Potter series has translated into substantial financial success for Rowling, her publishers, and other Harry Potter related license holders. The books have sold over 325 million copies worldwide and have also given rise to the popular film adaptations produced by Warner Bros., all of which have been successful in their own right with the first, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, ranking number four on the list of all-time highest grossing films and the other four Harry Potter films each ranking in the top 20. The films have in turn spawned five video games and have in conjunction with them led to the licensing of over 400 additional Harry Potter products (including an iPod) that have, as of July 2005, made the Harry Potter brand worth an estimated 4 billion US dollars and J.K. Rowling a US dollar billionaire, making her, by some reports, richer than Queen Elizabeth II.
On 2007, 12 April, Barnes & Noble declared that Deathly Hallows has broken its preorder record, with over 500,000 copies preordered through its site.
We can't compare in this manner as one is a footballing icon and superstar, whereas Harry Potter is a fictitious character in story books. If you ask me, I would rather not choose any of them as this comparation doesn't click at all.
Cheers :)

Are Vizio TVs really that bad?
Man in the
I'm sure this question is asked a lot here. I've seen more than a few negative reviews about the brand in general. I'm looking to buy my first flat screen TV and came across the Vizio XVT series in my research. It has high reviews on amazon and also has an editors choice award on cnet but it is a Vizio. I am thinking either a 37" or 42" LED TV with internet connectivity for Netflix eventually. Also is refresh rate a big deal.... 60Hz vs 120Hz??
Answer
Vizio is really not that bad but not that good also. is well balance for the prices you paid for.
Vizio is really good in prices. other than prices if you compare to International brand - Samsung / LG / Sony / Sharp / Panasonic / Toshiba SAME RANGE models ( entry level / mid / high end models ) , still a " gap " in total quality and reliability. because Vizio as an USA local brand not manufactures. or designs any Vizio TV. all Vizio is supply by Taiwan Amtrans Electronics , TV designs / made by China Amtrans also out source TV maker. Vozio brand is main for USA / CANADA , small quantity sold under Vozio brand in Taiwan. is totally difference with International brand - Samsung / LG / Sony / Sharp / Panasonic / Toshiba , there manufactures TV and other electronics items by own from end to end , sold under own trademark worldwide more than 190 countries since 40 years ago.
if Vizio really " so great and so cheap " , why cant out of USA ? think about it !
********
due to response time , all LCD / LED TV with motion blur , such blur noticeable from fast action sports moving image make very uncomfortable to our eye. to cover - hide away the motion blur need fast refresh rate . standard 60 HZ is bad for motion blur. 120 HZ is to cover it !
keep in mind . 120 HZ refresh rate better work with fast response time display panel. the best is 4/5 ms g to g standard . some brand because of lower prices, even 120 HZ models select 6ms / 7ms g to g standard response time panel. ( Vizio is one of the brand ) .
response time is important too. the best for LED TV should be 2ms 120 HZ / 4ms ( 120 HZ for LCD TV ).
if 120 HZ models with 6ms/7ms response time. unable to cover the motion blur well , TV maker just " make use " 120 HZ " as selling point to confuse those consumer do not very clear about technically .
if you watch sports movies / soccer / game you need 120 HZ with 2ms / 4ms response time.
other than fast action image. standard 60 HZ not an problems at all. many consumer enjoy standard entry level 60HZ - 7ms/8ms response time models from day 1 . simply you requirement .
