Customer Reviews
- Great value for the price Review by Joe
-
I picked this up at Costco, mounted it on a wall, and had it working in no time. I connected up to Comcast RNG110 cable box (via HDMI), and once I got things plugged in in the right order, everything worked seamlessly.
I later upgraded my wireless router (to a NetGear WNDR3700v2), and discovered a bug with the WPA password (passphrase needed to be shortened to 8 characters).
My two cons:
I hope a future firmware upgrade brings DLNA or some other mechanism to access my local networked library of music, photos and videos.
Hopefully the Netflix app will be updated to support closed captioning shortly.
I'm looking forward to the VIA Plus (google tv) models.

- Vizio Review by Tech 1
-
Tv is perfect nice and clear,but the remote is awful I thought it would come with that keyboard remote. The remote that comes with this tv doesn't work well at all and doesn't fit the quality of this set.

- Audio Popping Review by i003046
-
I already purchased a Vizio from Costco about 7 years ago and it's still running. Picked this model up yesterday and installed. Everything connected fine, colors and sound are great. I only notice one thing that was somewhat odd. When using my Series 3 Tivo and I fast forward or skip to the next 30 seconds in the program, I hear popping noise each time I advance the forward. Anyone have this problem with Tivo?

- Love the TV, Hate the Remote! Review by solo
-
I picked this tv up a few weeks ago at Costco for $499. Great price, great tv but why sell a tv with internet capabilities and then skimp out on the remote? Especially when the VUR10 qwerty keyboard remote is out already and available for other models.

- Great, but... Review by Tim
-
Great tv, great app, great $499 price at Costco, but.....I can't get my directv remote (on HR24NC-100) box to learn to toggle off/on and control volume.
I have other Vizio tv's that this works fine on. Any ideas?(Posted on 2/1/11)
- Good TV. Poor remote. Review by alex
-
The remote is very small and is not back lit. Nor does it have any favorite channel memory buttons. The TV itself is a great value but be aware that this TV does not have the capability to interface with vizio's bluetooth qwerty keyboard remote. Great TV but let down by a very poor design of the remote.

- Great features at unbeatable price! Review by KS

Another Costco customer who got this at $499.95 (I believe this price is through 1.31.11), with two-year warranty included. It replaced a two year old Sony Bravia M Class, and the Vizio has superior sharpness and true colors. Four HDMI inputs are great, but I have it connected to a Denon AVR-990 receiver as a monitor. The Vizio Internet Apps feature is outstanding. The TV recognized my Apple Time Capsule WiFi immediately, and it was very easy to set up my Netflix and Pandora accounts. I prefer the Vizio interface to Roku XDS box. Vizio customer service tells me that Hulu Plus update will be pushed out in a week or two. I live in Southwestern Connection, and my Terk amplified antenna pulls in over 20 HD stations from NYC, NJ, etc. The packaging is very clever in that you undo four clips at bottom, and lift the top of the box up and off, making removing the TV very easy. The Yahoo weather app is great. and the TV guide app is essential, as I canceled DirecTV a few months ago, and don't regret that for a moment. My only complaint is that the buttons on the remote are very small, and the "piano black" finish gets smudged quickly. Unless you think you need greater than 60Hz refresh rate, this full featured HDTV with built in WiFi is a terrific value!
