- Just Amazing Review by Jason Mac
-
I had a 37" LCD from Vizio and wanted something bigger. Got this on sale at a Costco for 799 about a year and a half ago. 18 months later I can say that this TV is amazing. Everything looks so good on it (DVD, XBox, Wii, and yes...television too). Couldn't be happier--Vizio for life.

- Great so far Review by FLmomof2
-
We've had this TV for 3 days now and love it. Our only complaint is that we wall mounted it, and we removed the stand, but we can't get the neck off of it. We tried removing the 3 screws inside of it, but something else was holding it on and we decided not to break it (yet). Hoping there's another way...the instuction manual was NOT helpful.

- Love the picture Review by billn
-
Picture is great. The family all raved about it. The stand instructions were wrong. We reveresed it and it now is straight. Sound quality is very disappointing. It is very shallow and has a "tinny" sound to it. We turn it off and run the sound through external speakers. We question whether it is defective.

- excellent Review by Gizmo
-
The picture is almost too clear. When I watch old Miami Vice episodes on DVD the episodes no longer appear to be film but a recent video. I am still learning to use all the features, it helps you along with prompts, God forbid I should read the manual. Great TV.

I just bougyht a new 47 in razor Vizio. It is a real good Tv for the price and simple to set up. Sound quality is great and real good sharp picture. Good to have the four HDMI hook-ups.I checked out several 46 in Tv's and this one is for sure in it's own class.
Buy one and enjoy a great TV.

- Going back for #3 Review by TheChad
-
I purchased this TV from Costco about 2 months ago. From day 1, there was a subtle but annoying hum coming from the back of the TV. I tolerated it until just today when I decided to exchange it for the same model. I got the new one home, hooked it up to my satellite and was actually wowed at how great the picture looked and extremely happy that the humming went away. About two hours later, the exactly one half of the screen on the right side started fading out and went from picture perfect, to a little less crisp, to noticably darker and then to completely black. Needless to say, I'm upset. I'll be going back to Costco tomorrow, on Superbowl Sunday, to pick up my third 47" Vizio LED. I truly hope I have the same experience as the rest of the reviewers because frankly, I've owned A LOT of televisions and I've never had any issues until I purchased a Vizio.

- First Vizio Product! Review by Mark
-
Just bought this Vizio LED Razor. What a wonderful piece of engineering and design. So easy to set-up with the one exception, the base plate. Installation instructions don't show the correct orientation of the base plate. Photos are incorrect but if you look at a small diagram in the set-up guide it does show how the four screw holes are "keyed" differently. Picture is crazy wonderful. Look forward to hooking up the laptop and watching blueray movies. You can't go wrong with this TV.

We went froma regular 32" TV to the 47" LED/LCD and it is FABULOUS.
Picture is lifelike, hard to be believe watching TV. Movies are unbelievable.
Have not tried WiFi yet, just hooked up new router for this purpose.
Would recommend to ALL

- Great TV - Important Installation Note! Review by Mark
-
The picture is great and we're very happy with the TV, but here's an important installation update. The instruction manual indicates the base plate for the stand should be mounted with the rounded edge of the stand in the front. That is incorrect. The most rounded edge should be facing to the rear. We installed the stand as per the instructions and the TV was pitched too far forward. We contacted Vizio, sent photos, and after 6 weeks they finally figured out it was the instruction manual that was wrong.

- Fantastic TV! Love it! Review by KatyCajun
-
We remodeled our living room and upgraded from a 50" rear projection TV to the VIzio 47" Razor. The picture is impressive! The HD is crystal clear and sharp! Paired with my Pioneer amp and 7.1 surround, watching movies and even my regular TV shows is a whole new experience!
My daughters salivated about being able to get on to Face Book from the TV! The internet apps are really cool!(Posted on 9/23/10)

- Fantastic! Review by DenD
-
We bought this 47" model for our breakfast room after finding out how great the Vizio suite of LED/LCD units are. We have the 55" model in our living room and we just love it. The 47" unit has the wi-fi app, which is almost unreal. This unit is FUN! And the picture is great, and Vizio support is great (the instructions for removing the base were different from how my unit came, but support walked me through it)
I am almost tempted to buy several more for the house:-)(Posted on 8/19/10)
