VF550XVT1A

Product Review (submitted on February 6, 2011):

Well, It's been 18 months since we replaced our 55", $4800 Pion**r Rear Projection TV. They wanted another $600 to replace the main board for the second time in about 5 years.

We didn't really have time to do any research before we purchased the Vizio VF550XVT1A. We just knew that we needed a new TV that day because we wern't going to pay another $600 for a repair that might not last 5 years again.

I have to say we were a little apprehensive at first about buying a flat screen because of being intimidated by what seemed to be a new technology as we are not electronic geeks by any means. At any rate, my wife handed me the money and told me to go buy a TV and be sure it was big enough to see it comfortably form the far reachs of our 24'x24' living room.

Off to Sam's Club I went and returned with the 55" strapped to the roof of our Blazer....it wouldn't fit inside! LOL! After allowing the TV to acclimate to room temperature, and being in an upright position again overnight we had it up and running the next day in a couple of hours including a pull out 45 degree wall mount.

In summary the VF550XVT1A is, and has been a quality product that we enjoy immensely. And Vizio Support is just as good because when we e-mailed them about Remote Control Codes for our surround sound system we were answered within a matter of hours with the correct codes and proceedure to enter them into the remote. High Quality all the way around and made in the good 'ol USA.
