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.

This TV is outstanding and a great buy! Review by khawk

A 42” 3D LED TV is the best one I’ve ever owned. The picture is crystal clear when watching regular TV and watching blu-ray movies is even clearer. I’m seeing colors and details that I have never seen with other TV’s I’ve had. I purchased a 3D cable so I could look at my cable company’s 3D movies that they offer with On-Demand. The 3D looks just like it does in the movies. I can hardly wait to purchase a 3D blu-ray player! This TV is truly a great buy!

I love my Vizio 3D TV!!! Review by Rocky

I just purchased my Vizio 3D TV about 3 days ago. I absolutely love it. Before this I had a Panasonic 42" plasma and I loved it too. However, I like this TV a lot more. It is also way lighter than my old plasma. I was surprised to see how light it is. The picture quality is very good with a few tweaks. I enjoy having Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and everything else right on my TV. No more using my Xbox 360. Overall I am very happy with my purchase. The sound is really good too.

I have really been enjoying my VIZO 3D Review by John

I have had a great experience with my 42" VIZIO. The 3D is incredibly fun if you run across a movie in 3D. It's an awesome picture, the sound is GREAT, it's not hard to understand the controls or to navigate the menus. It was extremely easy to set up and just go. In short, my experience, so far, has been very good. I got the TV in December 2012.
