Customer Reviews
- Excellent TV Review by Chico
-
Bought this yesterday at Sam's and had it mounted and running before the kids got home from school and it has been a great hit. Picture quality, sound, ease of use. My only problem is the time it takes to start up and no external keyboard or mouse capabilities. But those aren't deal breakers. For the price, it is absolutely the best deal money can buy.

- Beautiful TV - With some Network Setup Issues Review by GMP
-
We purchased the Vizio E422VA from Costco. It has a beautiful picture and very good audio. The one issue we had was setting up the WiFi against our NetGear WPN824N Router. Based on the resolution to the problem, the TV would not pick up an IP Address using DHCP. The tech at Vizio, who was very helpful, suggested putting in Static IP information, at which point the TV was able to connect to our WiFi using WPA2, and a password of 9 characters (mixed case letters and a number). (We have a number of other devices connected that had no such problem).
Now that is up and configured, I have to say it is a very good TV for the money, considering the picture, sound, and built in connectivity to NetFlix, etc....
For those with DirecTV, the code is 10178.(Posted on 1/28/12)

- More than satisfied Review by Spark1033
-
Bought this tv planning on it being my scondary "lower-end" unit that's just used in my bedroom. Well, that was a waste of time setting it up there. It made my living room tv look like a yard sale reject. So, wen back to Costco the next day an bought another for the living room. I didn't even know about the internal Internet apps until I started to play around with it. I absolutely love the apps. I can listen to Pandora without having to plug in my iPhone or turn on a computer. I also love the Vudu app for brand new releases. The Netflix streaming is where the real selling point is for me though. I sure didn't expect all the features this unit has for just $550 (with a 5 yr warranty). I find it the first time I'm not taking up all the inputs. I have my HD DirecTv tuner, Blu-Ray, HD camera, and a 1Tb hard drive all hooked up, with room to spare.
Oh, for the basics, the picture can't be beaten until you spend about $1300, the sound is better than average ( yet I still highly recommend an external system for sound ), and the remote is fine. It does the job. Need Qwerty? Get a laptop!(Posted on 12/10/11)
- Great T.V. at a Great Price! Review by KAB
-
After much research and comparison shopping, we decided on this Vizio E422VA. Got it on sale at BJ's for a great price (under $500). It was very easy to set up (and we are not tech savvy!). We are first time flat-screen and HDTV owners and the picture on this t.v. is beautiful. Looks amazing in our family room. Even the sound quality is good (speakers are on the front which makes a difference, I think). Lots of great features and functionality. Can't say much about the internet apps - that was just an added bonus - really just bought it to watch t.v. Suits our purposes fine - good quality.

- What a great deal Review by AK
-
This is our second vizio- we have a 55" upstairs in the game room. Decided needed new tv for bedroom and have been looking off and on for months. Just picked this up today for 398.00 at Sam's Club. Came home and hooked it up (had to go buy an HDMI cable-could not get HD to work with coaxial from attuverse receiver-no big deal) once i had the right cable bam- everything on perfectly- wifi works well for what it is...if I want a key board I will just hook my laptop. The picture and sound are great. I kept going back and forth between this and a Sony Google (600 bucks- a good deal too) but I just could not justify another 200 -did not make any sense to me. And I am glad I went with this. Never had a problem with our other one and it is almost 2 years old. If you catch one of these on sale- grab it.

- Vizio E42 Review by Edgar
-
I bought this TV 3 weeks ago in COMPUSA
The tv works fine, the video and sounds are pretty cool
The only thing that I dont like is the time when I'm changing channels
it takes like 2.5 seconds to make the change, (the screen turns black, then the image)
Can you guys tell me if you are having the same issue?

- TV Goes Off Review by Bunbuns
-
Love the size of the TV, and the sound is great on it, but it will go off several times a day while watching it. It does eventually come back on by itself, but it becomes aggravating after doing it so many times a day.....Sometimes, it will mess up, where there is no sound, and it will do nothing, so it has to be unplugged, and reset, in order for it to come back on, and work properly...Is anyone else having this issue??

- amazing value - who cares about the remote? Review by jgartger2000
-
i can't believe the complaints about the remote? this tv is fantastic! sure, if you bought the tv to post to facebook or twitter, you might need an alternative plan, but if you bought the tv to watch TV, movies or streaming via Netflix..my goodness this set can not be beat for the price. Crisp resolution on the picture with plenty of adjustable options. I am particularly fond of the movie/cinema video preset. The built in audio is also strong.
one thing i like about this set is, i hung it on the wall in my bedroom, and the only cable connected is the power cord and cable. the built in Netflix and WiFi take care of the rest.
only thing that would make this set better would be if it were bigger, and that isn't the manufacturers fault, it is mine. in 2012, I am going to go large.(Posted on 8/26/11)
