Highly Recommended Must Buy Review by Chris

Long before I purchased this HDTV I had be dreaming of a way to have a internet connected TV. When I learned about this model and at the time the lesser-known company Vizio I knew that I had to take a chance to finally make my dream come true of a internet connected TV and I purchased this model when it first came out even before it was in stores to see first hand. To this day I have never looked back on making that decision!

First the design is great and will work in any setting. This model offers plenty of inputs for all your entertainment needs (4 HDMI, I even charge my Iphone to one of the 3 HDMI ports). And the picture quality is the best I’ve seen on any HDTV, watching sports is even better then being there. I still get compliments from friends asking, how is your picture quality that amazing, my HDTV doesn’t look that good? Now the internet apps, I use Netflix, VUDU, Amazon Instant Video and Yahoo Fantasy Football the most. All the other apps are pretty disappointing and I would like to see more development in this area. I connect my MAC through HDMI to truly offer the internet connected TV experience that I was looking for (mainly surfing the web or playing Itunes). The only major disappointment I have for this TV was the remote. It does have a slide out keyboard which is handy with the apps, however it is bulky. Additionally it is not backlit which makes it impossible to use in the dark while watching a movie.

Finally Vizio’s Customer Service is hands down the best! They are friendly and respectful while concentrating on answering questions or problems. I experienced a hardware issue that caused horizontal black lines on my screen. Customer Service first attempted troubleshooting with me over the phone. After recognizing that did not fix the problem, Vizio sent out and setup up a new TV. No hassle or endless calls to customer service, they simply rectified the problem by doing the right thing and with class.

Thank You Vizio... I can’t wait to purchase my next TV from you!

EXCELLENT Review by Rich

Bought this TV 2 years ago--no problems to date and the picture and features are OUTSTANDING. I have purchase 3 other smaller VIZIO models since. Nice to see a company that makes a good product at a reasonable price.

nice tv but.... Review by beyondr

Bought this tv for the internet ready, it has a few aps, mostly yahoo based. wish it had a browser so we could use the tv as a "monitor" and run what we want from the wireless thru it. also bought our daughter roku for xmas and it has a boatload of more aps for tv/movies. vizio you need more updates and upgrades to be available through the internet aps.

Other than that, the TV is an awesome pic and sound.

thank you

Great for music videos Review by Richardy

Have you guys tried the new music video app called MoonPlayer on this TV?
Go to http://www.moonplayer.com. It's AWESOME. You can control it via text message.

Nice TV terrible remote Review by Sully

My family and I certainly love the TV and its clarity, decent sound and plentiful features. We are disappointed by cheap remote -second one just went. I have spent hours getting help from Vizio with mixed results including conflicting advice. I thought that by now-about a year and a half later, the USB ports would be ready but no such luck- so no direct input from your cameras, etc
