IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR WATCHING 3D CONTENT
You may experience discomfort while watching 3D content. You may feel symptoms of eye strain, vision fatigue, color or depth distortion, motion sickness, nausea, dizziness, disorientation, or other discomforts. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop watching television and take a break for at least thirty minutes before resuming. If the symptoms are severe or continue even after you have stopped watching television, consult a doctor.
Even if you do not experience any of these symptoms, take regular breaks from watching 3D content.
Take care to monitor children’s watching of 3D content. Children (including teenagers) may be more at risk of experiencing discomfort while watching 3D content and less likely to report symptoms. Monitor children’s television viewing and watch for signs of discomfort.
Some viewers may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or strokes when viewing 3D images, even if those conditions have not been previously diagnosed. If you or anyone in your family has a history of seizures or strokes, or if you have any other reason to think you or someone under your supervision may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or strokes, consult a doctor before watching 3D content.

- Great Picture Great Price Great Tech Support Review by Mikey
-
I did my homework on a lot of products recently and I have been very impressed with this TV all around. I was standoffish about picking up a 3D TV but this was the best choice all around. Wifi, Internet Apps, the different inputs have their own settings.
The tech support was very prompt with helping me as well. No long waiting time on the phone (Sunday afternoon) pleasant CSR and able to walk me through resetting my VUDU account with easy. I would recommend this purchase to anyone who is looking for a mid range TV with all the bells and whistles for a GREAT PRICE!(Posted on 2/12/12)
- Fantastic TV` Review by Phil
-
I've always felt that Visio produced some of the best computer monitors; so when I saw this TV in the store I had to check it out. I am extremely pleased with my purchase.
Went in the store telling my self not to spend more than $1200.00 for a decent TV.
Ended up spending less than half of that and really wasn't even looking for a 3d tv. I think the best part is the use of passive 3d glasses (light weight and no batteries). In fact, my grandkids left some glasses in the car from the movie Despicable Me, and they worked fine. Now, I'm gonna go hook up my PS3. Great TV.

- Amazed by Vizio Again Review by Whitty
-
Two years ago I got my first Vizio. It was a 32" and I love it, it now sits in my room. Comparing Vizio to other brands and you will automatically see the better picture quality over other brands. Since that purchase I have been completely sold on the Vizio product. We got our new tv two days ago and I will have say I was floored by the amazing picture quality. We watched Tangled with our daughter the day we got it and the picture looked so amazing we couldn't believe our eyes. Awesome tv, great purchase, best TV Company on the Planet.

- So I bought 2 Review by Nate
-
I wanted a 3D TV but I was not going to pay 1500. After all I just bought an Alien ware and I work hard for my money. So when I saw the bundle for 698..befor Black Friday. I grabbed it..Good thing because none of these were in sale. and for 698 they dont need to be. So I took it home. The 3D..amazing..it is nothing short of movie style 3D. No headaches. So I looked at all the reviews and it looked like what I figured the E3d420vx was the way to go. But now they were coming out withe the new M series. I wanted my 420vx. Needless to say yesterday I found my 420VX. I pay PS3 and all things PC. so imagine how I feel to play Skyrim in 3D not just in my living room but in my bedroom also. That TV was not the bundle I got it for 598. so 1300 to 42" 3D TV's FPR no Headaches...or 1500 on Big Sony..headaches plus buy those glasses and batteries..ouch...nope! Kudos Vizio..I love your TV's and I game... :P

- Great TV, wonderful 3D Review by Reuben
-
I've been very anxious in getting a 3D television. I've read many reviews of the shutter versus the passive TV’s. For a while I've heard bad reviews for the passive, and that was my preferred 3D TV. I just knew that Vizio TV is a good value, and I felt they had the consumer in mind when they decided to do that technology.
This Christmas we purchased one of the Bundles for fewer than 700 dollars. This TV is amazing, the 3D is far better than any reviews I’ve read. I can’t believe how some reviewers lean toward the shutters. When I’ve tried the shutter glasses, I don’t like the weight and I don’t like the idea of having to charge the units. I would get a little nausea when wearing them. I thought the most economic way would be the passive glasses and I never got sick with the glasses at the movie theater.
I am so happy with this purchase, it exceeds anything I expected and having Direct TV with its 3d channels, I’m enjoying the technology right away. I can go on and on, but this is the best value for dollar. Good Job Vizio.

- Awesome TV Review by Marcus
-
Found this TV in a bundled package at wall mart for 678.00 it had 4 glasses the 3d bluray player and even the HDMI cable. Took it home and was watching downloaded 3d movies in just a few minutes after set up.
Like everyone else has posted, the bad things i found was the lack of an internet browser and i was disapointed not to have 2d to 3d up conversion.
But for the price paid, all i can say is its worth every penny. Good job Vizio.(Posted on 12/12/11)
- USB Review by Mike

Just bought this TV yesterday. Overall seems to be very good. Only disappointment so far is that the USB ports only play music and pictures. It would have been much better if they also played video files(AVI).
