Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is our first non-CRT television, so it's a big jump from our 20 inch portable.
It connected fine to the internet, and we were up and running with all the local channels pretty quickly.
The picture seemed a bit dark, but I think it was the broadcast. NetFlix videos were nearly flawless.
Our Wii console connected and worked fine. We don't have a DVD player hooked up to it, so I can't speak to the quality of DVD movies (it's in our lower basement level).
A couple of things:
1. Pandora app: only worked after I disabled the TV's DHCP setting.
2. The USB Port is useless - won't show photos. VIZIO Tech Support (very nice, by the way) indicated that the USB port is not activated for this model, but a firmware update will be "coming soon." I don't believe them. I think there is something wrong with this set. I'll try to post an update when I hear something.
Overall - I can't say too much about the TV until we've lived with it for a while.Update: After a few days, we noticed that, when turned OFF, the television emitted a high-pitched noise. The noice stopped when the TV was powered back on.
After speaking with Vizio tech support (and going through futile "power cycles," Vizio scheduled a warranty service call. It is scheduled for September 30 - I'll update this post with the verdict....
Update:
The service company just left.
They replaced the power board, but the sound is still there (they claim they can't hear it after installing - which is BS).
I am going to give VIZIO one more chance to fix the problem, and then the unit's going back to Amazon and I'm getting another brand.
This is really too bad, since the TV works great otherwise - Internet apps work great, picture is great.
I don't want to say not to buy this TV - just be aware that this has happened to the unit I purchased.
...Update:
Unfortunately we ended up returning this television to Amazon. We purchased an identical unit from Wal-Mart, and it made the same sound. Based on the fact that two TVs and a replaced power board didn't solve the problem, I concluded that this model from Visio will always make the sound and returned it.
We purchased a non-internet TV (Sony) and a Roku box. This combination works fine. The Sony isn't nearly as nice as the Vizio, and I need to grab a second remote, but this is an annoyance. We don't watch too much TV anyway, so it's not a big bother.
I would recommend Vizio only if you have a chance to return the set. I don't think all Vizio models will have this problem, but you can't be too carefull.
