awesome Review by shoshone

I bought 2 of the 55" smart tvs, gave one to mom for mothers day, one for myself Easy set up, great picture, awesome vizio quality. The tvs will pay for themselves in less than 7 months since I no longer have HUGE cable bills but watch everything using Hulu or netfix using the built in wifi connection.....
I have 4 vizio tvs and 2 vizio puters. I have never had any problems, customer service is GREAT, English speaking Americans, , BUY AMERICAN MADE

Had a 50" Samsung and wanted bigger and a Smart Tv, found this at Sam's Club and had it setup in less than 15 minutes. We love it so easy to use and great picture and sound. Glad we bought it!
