Piece of Crap Review by Bob

XVT553SV purchased 11/26/2010
This tv has a mind of it's own. Went away for three days in the summer and when we returned the damn thing was on. Don't have a notion for how long. I have gone to bed only to see flashes and hear voices and find it turned itself on. Just recently the sound cracks and pops when first turned on in the morning. Picture freezes. Right now we are waiting days for a repair person to show up to fix the current problem (via extended warranty). The latest problem showed this weekend just in time for the big football games. The stupid thing shuts down every thirteen seconds and restarts (they blinking vizio light).
Would not recommend the led.
Vizio washes their hands for fixes the day the warranty expires. If you buy one you better get a service extension, you will need it.
Should have stuck with original decision to purchase Samsung

Great TV Review by Mike

I bought this over one year ago. Great performance. Hook to cable and I just LOVE to PIP feature. I'd be lost without it. Plus, I did not have to pay for all the add-on bells and whistles that I am not interested in, like internet, 3D, etc. Please come out with a 65 or 70 incher just like this.

LIKE! Review by Rob

Just bought the 55 inch tru led tv. After researching decided on this one. Best decision...picture quality is awesome! Sound is pretty good too. If you want a clear crisp picture this is the one. Very, very pleased with this purchase.

Waiting for football season! Review by SteveF50

I purchased my 55" about a week ago and the performance has been all I wanted and then some! I cant wait for football season now. I have direct tv and am able to pull up to 8 games on the screen at once. I researched and checked out several LCD and Plasma sets and for the money this one will hold its own with anyone else. If it has a weakness it may be in the audio. But I am hooking speakers to it for the surround sound experience and it wont make a distance after that.

Vizio 3D tv Review by majorbuzzkill

I bought my tv a couple months ago, and have fallen in love with the tv. It's simply the coolest thing I've ever owned. I run a PS3 with it for true 3d Video gaming. My tv is an experience all its own. My kids describe watching it as "An action packed window" I couldn't have said it better myself. I love the Yahoo twitter widget, but don't care for any of the other Apps it comes with. The Face Book App is not user friendly. I like the bluetooth wireless access for "whatever" i want to use it for. I use it for internet.
Thank you Vizio for an affordable 3D tv.

This" Tube rocks" Review by Vic

I haven't used all the features yet, I am loving this...I get the apps, with facebook, financial s, you tube, this is great. I look forward to the weekends when don't have to go out and pay high price for movies . I can now relax in my own home and enjoy.
I have read many of the other reviews as well and think they are right on. I am still needing to get some of the additions but will do that in time. Need Blue ray player and the surround sound. I will have to budget or wait for a good sale.

Thanks VIZIO

GOOD FRIGGIN TV Review by JOELITTLE

Bought this tv with some left over money earlier this year and was surprised at how much I had left over due to the great pricing for such a great tv. Never had any experience with Vizio prior to this tv but have to say after learning its an american tv and its just as good if not better (I think so) then all the other major japanese brands I was totally sold on it. Especially after the picture quality compared to others and so far not a hitch in operation and going about a year now of ownership. Love it. Get one they are worth it. Good job Vizio!

Awesome Review by Tony

Ordered My 55in Vizio LED LCD on Nov 29th, took advantage of the cyber monday deals and ordered direct from Vizio. Great savings on the TV but shipping ate up most of the savings though but the shipper did excellent. Shipped to my wife's job because they give a delivery time range. The guys were really nice. The TV is awesome. Makes HD look like its live footage. My wife said yes to my early xmas present but after watching her favorite movie True Lies streamed through netflix commented i understand why you wanted this. True Lies never looked that good even in the movies! Setup was a breeze. The VF551XVT recognized my wifi instantly, just had to type in our password. I spent more time trying to activate netflicks then i did anything else. This is my 2nd Vizio. I also am the proud owner of a 47In LCD bought about 2 years ago. I remember the satelite guys coming over and commenting that this set has 4 hdmi connections and they were surprised at that. I think they are sony guys. I would rather take the savings and buy another Vizio myself. If you want the best picture i've ever seen at a affordable price, BUY A VIZIO!! You won't be disappointed!
