Most Helpful Customer Reviews
A great TV!,
I bought my first HDTV nearly ten years
ago. It was a pain to hook up with a mass of wires and complex antenna
adjustment for broadcast reception. Took hours to set up. The Vizio VF552
was unpacked, put on the stand and hooked up in about ten minutes. I have
three Direct DVRs and a blueray DVD player. Just plugged in the HDMI cable
and went through the simple start up process. Even the wireless hookup to my
secure router worked the first time. I think the remote is reasonably
sturdy. The remote is light and easy to use. I like the input button on the
opposite side of the remote from the tv on/off button. On an older Visio tv,
the input button was next to the main on/off switch and I was forever
turning the tv off when I wanted to switch inputs.
One problem with the sharp, bright picture is that you can see set lighting.
Programs such as "Chuck" are so realistic you can tell when they are on a
set.
My wife told me not to mess with the color adjustments. I think the
as-received adjustments are a bit too bright with over saturated colors. I
backed off the settings slightly and I think it looks better. Trouble is
that programs seem to have drastically different color values and saturation
(e.g. "Miami CSI" seems to be grossly saturated.) Not the tv's fault.
I don't understand comments about this unit's color accuracy when the
sources seem to vary all over the place. When one program looks good,
another looks cold, another warm. The source gamma seems to run the gamut,
and I've given up trying to make adjustments for each program. With my old
set, I always reduced the saturation and cooled the color tem for "Miami
CSI". This unit's dynamic range (i.e. white whites and really black backs)
makes it tolerable for me.
We really like the wireless remote that you don't have to point at the set
to make changes. It has worked flawlessly. Earlier Vizio models don't have a
wireless remote. The keyboard works fine, when needed.
After several weeks, we are completely happy with the performance of this
unit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The
value here is unreal, Alright, first things first: This isn't an
8800 series Samsung LED. Get that right out of your head. Now, this IS a XVT
series Vizio that offers some serious dollar stretching for all you get.
As others have said, the remote leaves a lot to be desired. Flimsy, a little
clumsy, yeah, it could *probably* use a backlight (not a deal breaker by any
means, but it would be nice). The keyboard is a wonderful touch, just wish
they spent more time on that hinge.
The audio is acceptable, nothing game changing at all. It provides some
pretty room filling sound, though, you'd be better served with a stand alone
sound system. Games sound pretty anemic; live sports sound very-very good.
It's exactly what you would expect for HDTV 15w speakers.
So, you bout a 240hz, LED, 55'' HDTV for the picture, nothing else. Let's
touch on that. It's INCREDIBLE. Yes, you can, like I mentioned above, spend
thousands more and get a better picture; barely. There is absolutely no
sacrifice with this monitor, it does it all and keeps you "oooh'ing" and "awwe'ing"
all night. I fought for weeks about what would be the best for my money.
What would provide the best experience, what would give me the least amount
of buyers remorse (hey, spending this kind of money hurts these days!). This
product whole heartedly delivered.
Everything else it provides is the icing on the huge cake! The apps are
fantastic, especially the Yahoo integration...oh and Netflix, how can you
forget about Netflix?! My 360 is going to be lonely, what, with only playing
games on it =P
If you're on the fence, I can't really give you anything to sway you one way
or another, but really, at this level of consumer electronics, you aren't
going to get anything *bad*, just some better than others. This is one of
those that is VERY MUCH better than others, second to very-very few.
