- I'm convinced! Review by New Believer

Okay, okay, I will admit, no one was more skeptical about buying a Vizio than I was. After literally a year of researching and comparing all the major (and minor) brands, I finally made a Vizio purchase, a 42” 240Hz LCD through Dell.com at a spectacular price, only $699! I must say, I am convinced! The picture is absolutely amazing! We don’t have cable, only local channels…most broadcasted in HD. We were truly amazed at the sharpness and colors. Even non-HD programs look great.
As for movies, I purchased a Sony Blu-ray DVD player prior to the TV purchase and, as expected, DVD movies live up to the hype. Have not played any actual Blu-ray movies yet, but I’m sure they will meet my expectations as well. And for video games, the Wii games look much better than standard TV (although I’m aware that Wii graphics are not comparable to either Xbox or PS3). Overall, we are quite pleased with our purchase and would recommend it to others.

- WOW! and WOW! Review by mral777

Bought this a few months ago, my fiance was not into the whole HD tv experience. After installing and connecting to my audio system I put on a blueray movie for her and all I heard from her was, "Why didnt you do this sooner?" She loved it.
I found the imaging and quality exceptional. I had been shopping and researching HDtvs for over a year and found the Vizio devices to be a much better choice. Not just the price but the features and technology as well.(Posted on 4/30/10)
- AWESOME Review by agent030
-
All I can say is AWESOME the picture is incredible...I was watching a phillips 52" rear projection. The colors are just truly spectacular I didn't realize I was missing out. With my PS3 and XBOX 360 games come alive and blu-ray has never looked so good. Good value good picture easy setup and even looks better than my father-in law's 55 inch Sony he bought a few weeks ago. Thinking that I may need another Vizio for the bedroom. Great job Vizio great value in these hard times.

- Incredible ! Review by Picture Fanatic

As a first time LCD buyer I wanted to make an educated purchase and not jump on the first "good buy" that I came across. Every time I was shopping, the Vizio TVs always stood out as having the best picture quality. The clincher for me was when I saw this TV for $699 at BJ's. When I took it home and connected it to my DirecTV receiver, I have to say I wasn't impressed but I knew there were better things ahead. The unimpressed feeling only lasted for 2 days. That was when I upgraded to DirecTV HD. WOW! I know many people that have other brands of HD TVs and none of them come close to the picture quality of a Vizio. They are all jealous now. My wife and I had some friends over last night for a family event and the premiere of "Life" was on DiscoveryHD. Once the others saw the quality of the picture on our TV they all want to get one. Keep it up Vizio!!!

- great tv...great price Review by babs
-
This is my first purchase of an LCD or even a big TV like this and the picture is amazing! The price was well below what anything else was with a better warranty and frankly a better picture than the more expensive TVs. The only problem I have had is programming the universal remote to work with my DVD player and surround sound but looking at the reviews it seems like the customer service is good so I'm not really worried about that. It was a great buy and I'll be getting another one to replace the one in my room as well. I am definitely a lifetime customer!

- Great Picture Review by JB
-
We purchased this TV a few weeks ago and have been loving the picture quality. It's our first Vizio, but the second LCD in our house. The picture and features are every bit as good as our much more expensive Samsung. Watching the winter olympics in HD on this 240 Hz. TV has been wonderful.

- I like it!!!! Review by Big
-
I have had my TV about a month now and I like it alot. It was vary easy to setup and the picture is great. This is my first LCD HD TV and I think I made a great pick. When my friends came over and saw the picture they where standing there with there mouths open. They have another brand that they paid almost twice as much for and mind looks way better.
Vizio is now my goto company for all my TV and Blu-ray wants and needs.(Posted on 2/21/10)
- Vizio is #1... Review by Beachwavez
-
I've owned 4 Vizios', this being my fourth. Overall, the best TV you can buy! Vizio is the #1 LCD Seller! I absolutely love Vizio and their customer service is SUPERB* when their is an issue with something. My first tv didn't work correctly, I phoned Vizio and they had a replacement out that day!!!! Where can you get service like that? It's unbelievable how Vizio treats customers' until you experience it! (Not to wish anyone a problem but it feels great that the excellent customer support is there when and if you do have an issue.) Just bought this one, brought it home and unpacked. Picture was great!!!! Noticed one burnt pixel... Called Vizio, I have a brand new tv coming from them now! I don't have to package anything someone will come to my home remove the old one and give me the new boxed one and SET IT UP FOR ME! You can't beat that! Once a Vizio, always a Vizio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks V!

- Fantastic Review by EBTIGER

The picture is awesome. Blu-Ray movies almost seem like 3D. I use a surround system, but the sound in the TV is great too. I could not be more pleased with this purchase. Bought it at Sam's for $698. What a value!
