Great buy! Review by klus

My first HD was a sony bravia 46, which is fine, but the bulb went out etc. This spring, I purchased the Vizio 55 and couldn't be happier with it. My only suggestion would be for the remote to have more universal capabilities, but then again with direct TV, to utilize all the features such as DVR etc, the Direct TV remote is best. I have this hooked up to a 5.1 sound system, but even without, it sounds fantastic. I paid $1399 at Target. Walmart would have been $50 cheaper, but it became a hassle to find one in stock. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Vizio. I'm usually a Sony or big name brand shopper, but I think the Vizio is up there with the big boys now. I wouldn't bother with a review unless I loved the product.

AWESOME! Review by keeter

We have had a 37 inch Vizio for maybe 4 years. With our home buyers credit we agreed that we were going to take advantage of getting the 55 inch for our family room. Didn't have to decide on brand because we were sold from day one. I rave about this brand to people. Just this past weekend my sisters went to Walmart and they had rollbacks and open box specials. They got the 42 inch normally for $897.00 for $697.00. They of are happy with the brand also. Vizio you have very solid products with great prices. Especially with Walmart.

what a great tv Review by richard

just bought this tv yesterday at costco for 1299 and was well worth the money. this is my first hdtv and work with alot of different brands and tvs at costco so i had a wide array of them to choose from but after lots of long hard thinking i decided to go with this tv and am extremely glad i did. even my girlfriend wasn't too happy about it at first thought it was way too big (doesn't have the male mindset) lol, but is now accepting of it and is even starting to like it. was so impressed with this tv after just one night of non hdtv viewing that i took my mom back to work (costco) and she purchased a 32" vizio off my one night viewing recommendation. anybody else out there looking for a new or replacement hdtv look no further this is the best brand of tvs for the money and the quality you get. great job vizio you now have a lifetime family of customers keep up the great work.

Great Deal and what looks like a great TV Review by Kris

We were looking at this TV for sometime now but didn't make the decision to buy. Finally with the soccer world cup just around the corner, we didn't want to wait any longer. Went to Target and saw that the only one they had was the floor model clearance priced at $1119 (20% off original price). The associate said that he could give another 10% off the already clearance price of 20% off. That brought it to $1000. He said that the model has been on the floor for around 2 - 3 months. We then went to two other Targets to see if they have an in the box set. None of them did. In Target shop 2, they had only the floor model priced at $1119 but it had a nasty scratch on the screen. Target 3 had a week old display model only and they again had it for $1119. When we asked if they would give any more discounts, the associate and the manager both declined saying that it was at a store's discretion to give further discounts and in their case, since it was only a week old, they didn't see the need to give a further discount. We then went back to Target 1 and asked the sales manager for a further discount on top of the extra 10%. We asked for 30% off on top of the Clearance price. She talked to her boss and ended up accepting our request. The final price was an unbelievable $784, which worked out to an amazing 45% off! What a deal. We also bought the 3 year extended warranty for $79.

The electronics employees were amazing and helped us pack the TV and load it onto my truck and we drove home and connected it to our HD cable. The pictures are amazing! The audio wasn't great at first but a small adjustment and it sounds much better. Once we hook it with our home theater, it will be even better. The TV seems to be an amazing buy and we cannot wait to see the world cup on our new TV!!

LOOKS GOOD SO FAR - GREAT COMPANY Review by Mike - Lake Havasu

Just got this TV from Target for $845.00 !!!! Purchased the floor model with no scratches, and received all documentation but no box. Original price was $1399.00 and all in stock models that are non floor models are now $1140.00!! So what a deal, get a new one for$ 260.00 less or the floor model for a steal of a deal (30% off) I only learned of this due Chris's post on this page, thanks Chris.

TV is just awesome, adjust the sharpness though to make the blacks deeper though - out preforms my older VIZIO 50" Plasma.

Just want to say this is a great TV company, great customer service!! Took care of my 4 year old 50" Plasma three years out of Warranty because of a known defect. Came out twice to fix it but the panel was bad, so they Provided me with a cash refund which paid for the new LCD! I will stick with VIZIO.

Great Deal on a Great TV! Review by Chris

I just bought this TV today at Target. I guess it's a great seller because they had absolutely none left, except the floor model. It was on clearance for $1120, which was already an amazing deal. But Target, being the great store that it is, gave me 30% off the already clearance price! For a total of $877 and some change I got this behemoth of a television set. The picture is fantastic, and there is no blurring thanks to the Smooth Motion Technology and 120 Hz refresh rate. Movies on my PS3 look amazing, and games even better. Standard Def TV is pretty good, but to really take in the beauty of this beast, you need HD television, or a BluRay movie. Seriously, I would definitely have bought this set even without the great deal I got on it. It was practically a steal. Talk about right place at the right time...lol Can't WAIT FOR FOOTBALL SEASON!

Couldn't Be Happier Review by bril218

I purchased my 1st flat panel LCD Tv about one month ago from Wal Mart and I couldn't be happier than I am with the Vizio 55"...I was replacing a 55" (box set) Toshiba Theatre View and I was blown away at the clarity of the set and ease of installation. If you are buying this set or thinking of buying this set take my advice and go buy it!...Wal Mart had the set on sale for $1348.00 plus tax which makes a 55" seem extremely cheap but believe me it may not cost a-lot but it sure delivers in a "big" way...I purchased the HDMI Cables and that makes a huge difference on the clarity of the picture. We can't stop watching movies and if you like sports this tv is awesome to watch hockey or basketball on when they broadcast the game in HD. I just can't say enough and when I get ready to purchase my next set for my basement I'm definitely getting a Vizio!

Great HD Video at a Great Price! Review by Tim

Purchased a couple of weeks ago at Costco...I looked at several models and thought the HD video on this Vizio was just as good as the new LED technology on models costing hundreds of dollars more. Everyone who sees it comments on the great picture and deep blacks. Replacing a low cost 27" CRT TV set, I find the sound just fine as is...and when hooked up to my 30 yr. old component stereo system it sounds superb. My only complaint is the SD picture seems kind of "soft", but I guess 480 line video just isn't meant to be watched on a screen this big. Overall I am very satisfied with the set and will recommend Vizio to my family and friends!
