Most Helpful Customer Reviews

 

OK, so this review is based on ownership for one week. TV was VERY easy to set up and to hook up to our wireless G network (there is NO benefit from having a wireless N network), it is all about the speed of your internet and has nothing to do with the speed of your network since the internet speed will be the bottleneck, DSL will probably be to slow, the internet app VUDU said I should download movies in 1080P. The Bluetooth remote control that came with the TV controls our cable box (Comcast - Motorola), the remote is AMAZING!!! Net flick looks AMAZING!!! The other internet features are pretty good. I HOPE that the hulu deal that Vizio has done will be playable with this TV. The picture looks awesome!!! BUT there is better technology out there and local dimming is supposed to give you a better picture but it is more expensive. While watching the Home Network (house hunters) I did notice some blue bleeding from the top left corner, I am not sure if it was filmed that way or was the fault of the TV because I did not notice this blue bleeding any other time. Blacks look great, but I don't have twenty TV's next to mine to point out that another TV has better blacks, this TV has a 1:1,000,000 contrast ratio and I am very happy with the picture. I have not played much with the picture options, so the settings that come with the TV are pretty GREAT. I am also happy with the sound; yes there is no bass... its TV speakers.

OK, the TV looks Amazing in standard definition (I was very surprised because usually standard def does not look good with these new 1080P TV's) and High definition. I only watched a preview in 1080P through the internet with VUDU (did not want to spend the $$$ to watch more) and the TV looked amazing. I do not have a blue ray player since I don't like to spend $$$ and I just signed up for Netflix, so I did not even watch a DVD to experiment with. I did not try over the air HDTV, I live in NH where we only get 4 channels and two of them SUCK...lol.

OK, now for the problems. While playing around with the remote, I some how got the TV to freeze within the first 5 hours of ownership. Had to call Vizio (was upgraded to a level three tec), they told me how to reset the firmware by pressing down on the power button on the TV for 30 seconds, but first unplug all cables (this took about 45 minutes). Since then the TV has worked flawless. I thought that there would be a feature that would UPGRADE the firmware... you know... since it is able to hook up to the internet, but I could not find it :(... don't know if this is good or bad. The TV has three USB plugs that do not work, it is suppose to work later on when Vizio fixes their firmware (even though I don't see how it is possible to upgrade it)... so I have read online... I am not to worried, but it would be a nice feature to be able to plug in a usb thumb drive and watch an avi file... personally I would much rather have Hulu going and CANCEL my cable service (this is a dream of mine...lol)

OK...
I now own this TV for 4 months... the freezing has never stopped, even after a firmware update (that is controlled by Vizio). Every other day when I turn on the TV it freezes... mostly in HD stations but it has also happened when I was plugged in my laptop and sometimes in SD channels I can tell that it is just about to freeze. Mostly freezes when I turn the TV on, when it does happens I hold the power button for thirty seconds... it usually turns off but the vizio flashes so I have to hold it again for thirty seconds then it finally turns on usually normally but every once in a while I would have to do this whole thing twices... could be a five minute affair.

I have called Vizio to fix the problem, I have an appointment this Tuesday, two people are coming to my home, they tell me that they are changing the main board and the power supply. I hope this fixes the problem.

My sister has the 42" TRUE LED and she is having problems with her remote control. I have another 32" Vizio... purchased a refurbished 1080P model about three years ago for $350 and it has not given me one problem.

I still love the picture quality and I would still buy a new Vizio TV... so far...lol. I a glutton for punishment.

OK... This is the THIRD FOLLOW UP. From my phone conversation with Vizo, they have decided to change out the MAIN BOARD and the POWER SUPPLY. This was done about two - three weeks ago. Now, the TV runs PERFECT. Has not freezed once, it is a LOT more snappy when I turn it on. What bothers me the most is that I thought I loved this TV even though it would freeze up so often and that I ignored the problem for so long... like I said it would freeze every day or every other day and sometimes twice a day.
