- POSITIVE/WITH CAVEAT Review by JIM
-
many shows result in a clipping of the top and bottom of the picture if zoom is used. Viewing in 'Panorama' can be disconcerting by the edges curling around. It can be difficult to decide on the best viewing mode (wide, zoom, normal or panorama)
Picture quality is "Spectacular" I can't wait to hookup a home theater sound system to this TV.(Posted on 11/17/11)
- Great TV for the price but missing some features Review by Jeff
-
Really like this TV and thought the price was excellent. Until I learned that the TV's price was low because it does not include blue tooth or the universal sliding remote. Not a big issue but something to consider.

- BAD A$$ T.V Review by S.C
-
I also purchased this tv from walmart $998.00 came out to $1090.00 after tax and recycle fee. The picture is ridiculous. Looks like your watching the movie on scene. He sound is ok but could be better. Gaming on this tv is off the hook too. It looks better than my panasonic plasma. You get what you pay for and with this tv you get more!!!!

- GOOD TV Review by PATCH
-
Now I watch streaming wireless videos, effortlessly ! And so easy to set up! I love the Widgets!. Had I known how excellent this experience would be I would not have hesitated to buy this TV.
The picture quallity is further enhanced by the the different Picture Modes, another thing I did not really get to see at the televisions display at Walmart. Each picture mode is stunningly different and modifiable.
This TV is the greatest value for a 55" under $1000 at this time ($ 998.00 Walmart). PERIOD.!
I am writing this review because maybe it will help someone else who is, " lost in the seas of LCD confusion". If you can afford this one, I guarantee, ' you- gonna- love- it '.
Don't fear the "Widget". Simple to use remote is a real winner, as well. I am just crazy about this TV model E552VL. Do yourself a favor and score big with this one!.(Posted on 9/11/11)
- Very pleased!!!!! Review by Bro.A

We purchased this 55" from Walmart on May 2, 2011, and now after close to 3 months, I am very pleased!! Great picture and easy to set up. Would recomend it to anyone. I don't have HD from Dishnetwork yet, but antenna channels are very sharp at 720P! But even the 480 Dish programming is pretty sharp and clear. The color is great too. always been a stickler for the color being lifelike and they are pretty close. The built in sound is a little on the whimpy side, but it'll do for now.

- Outstanding TV!!!! Review by Tazz
-
I purchased this TV from Walmart, as I noticed many others have done. This TV is by far the best TV I have ever owned. It surpasses Sony, Phillips, Samsung and many others in picture quality. My Toshiba 62 inch, that was my pride and joy, does not even come close. I have retired the Toshiba to the status of "Fish Tank!" I have one other Vizio in my bedroom and it is just as good as this one. The 55 inch is very easy to setup and operates very smoothly. Thanks for making such an affordable, outstanding TV!

- Perfect! Review by Nick
-
I just bought this at walmart two weeks ago. I have another 55' which is not Vizio, but cost me over 1,000$ more than this one. The picture is AWSOME much better than the Sony! I watched the "Royal wedding" in HD and it was life like! Like looking through a window. The sound is not too hot but i have surround sound system..... I told the wife i NEVER expected this out of a Vizzio!!! I just wish i could check my G-Mail from the apps...

WOW......How did I ever live without this? I'm so pleased. The picture knocked my socks off and all of the added bells and whistles such as the internet aps are easy to use.

- Great buy Review by Bill

I just got this TV at Walmart, it has a very nice quality, i like the wiereless internet so i can watch netflix without any computer or game console, the remote control is a little slow in response, the sound is fine too.
