GREAT TV!!! Review by cubanman

Did a lot of research and actually bought this from walmart after it had been on display 24 hours a day for 6 months. Almost a year with the TV and it is still amazing color. Best 447 dollars I have ever spent. Color is still perfect and everything else is amazing.

Great Tv Review by Moparmarv

I purchased this TV 3 years ago from COSTCO. I had a issue with the first one10 months after purchase, Vizio sent a rep out to try to resolve the issue of burnt in bars on each side, but were unable to do so. Vizio was prompt to sent a new TV out to my house with reps to remove the old one , and to install and set up the new one that has been 2 years, 2 months , and now problems great technology and service. Just purchased the VBR100 BluRay player WOW what a combo I will purchase VIZIO again thanks
