- LoveThisTV Review by MrWhipple

Decided to upgrade my last Vizio and headed to WalMart at midnight for some reason to look at TV's. They had a 60" of another maker next to the Vizio and the price difference was a few hundred dollars, nothing was really different but the 5" of screen size. Sound could be a little better but I purchased a sound bar for it and couldn't be happier now. Will most likely upgrade to a 70" unless they come out with a larger model within the next few months. Then I can use my 32" led for a computer screen and put the 55" in my bedroom.

- GREAT COMMENT Review by ZIPPY

Just purchased our 1st VIZIO TV. We purchased ours 3-3-13. So far, we absolutely LOVE this tv. Easy setup, great quality, great picture, and makes our tv watching so much more enjoyable. I would highly recommend the VIZIO to everyone.

- Very nice Review by Robert
-
Works great - got Surround Sound with it, but the TV's sound isn't bad at all. The optical out functions fine with the TV speakers on as well.
WiFi setup was painless, and the quick menu is well done and easy to use. I was also impressed with the settings menu and other TV functions. They are intuitive, well organized, and easy to find. The remote is fun to use, solidly built and well laid out.
Wall mounting was no problem - although the screw holes on the back were set a bit too deep for the screws my TV mount came with, but got some just a bit longer at the hardware store and everything thing else went well.
Being domestically made in the US, swayed me to try Visio - and I'm not at all disappointed.

- Great TV Review by Stephe
-
I purchased this TV from Costco and I absolutely love it! The picture is remarkable and the wifi is great. The only downfall is my remote went dead within a day. I called Costco customer service which connected me with Vizio and they are sending me a new remote. Very prompt and friendly customer service at vizio.

- Excellent purchase Review by Bobby

We purchased the 55 M series smart tv right after Christmas and love it. Colors are vivid with amazing picture. Watching football on it was incredible. My only criticism is that sound quality not great so I use my surround sound system all the time. The smart tv feature is pretty neat and easy to use. I would give it a solid 4.5 out of 5 only because of sound quality.

- Vizio's sound bar Review by IRV
-
I have a M model 55" smart TV that I purchased and a smaller 32" sound bar for it. I have had a problem selecting volume and other things thro the remote. The infared receiver point on the TV is centered low on this model so it will not pickup the remote signal with the sound bar in front of the tv base. The only solution I had was to raise the TV 1-1/4 inches . I didnt have any other place to move the sound bar and they suggest to put in front of the TV base. I have not had any problems since I raise the TV , Vizio does make a longer sound Bar with a dip through the center which maybe is what I needed. Some of their TV's have the remote pickups on the ends. All in all, Iam pleased with the TV .

- Five Stars all around - Easy setup, great picture and sound, and very intuitive. Review by Dave
-
Simply stated - a great Smart HDTV at a reasonable cost. I do suggest you select "Vivid" in choosing Picture quality as it provides the best combination of brightmess and contrast.

- Great TV, kind of a big problem Review by TXSwede
-
I love this TV, but -
As soon as we had it up and running we saw there was a pretty big shadow on the left side, center height, in an area about 4" by 8".
Called Vizio and they helped me do a "power reset" which consisted of unplugging the TV and holding down the power button for 30 seconds. Magic! The shadow went away.
And it returns every other night.
SO, I will exchange it at Costco this weekend and see if this is a more general thing. I will update on the next unit
Summary -
Great customer service, great TV, great WiFi connection, great deal.
Cannot pay $1k+ for a TV I have to regularly reset.(Posted on 9/28/12)
- Recommend highly Review by Bruce

I waited long enough to be able to very fairly judge this TV. I have had it since shortly after Christmas of 2011. It is now September of 2012. Fantastic TV!! Great clarity, nice screen that deflects any shine from lights or sun, clean and bright, did not require and additional color/clarity adjusting straight out of the box, internet apps work great and are easy to use, I have no clue what the sound is like, as I have it hooked up to a powerful surround system. Qwerty keyboard is very nice (but a little small for my big fingers). Overall I would rate this TV 5 stars out of 5. This is the 4th Vizio TV I own for my house. I now have a 22" 1080P (workout room), this 55" 1080P (main TV room), a 37" 1080P (my bedroom) and a 32" 720P (spare bedroom). I am sold on Vizio and will stay with them for TV's.
