Customer Reviews
- Great TV and support to match! Review by Michael
-
BLUF: This TV beats the competition with all the features, picture quality, wi-fi, apps and price....then it blows them away with the great tech support! I now have three and will be getting another to replace the bedroom Samsung hanging on my wall.
I purchased this 55" to replace an old (though loved) JVC 56" Projection. Setup was a breeze which included adding it to our wireless network. I concur with all the great reviews (Vizio, Keep it up) but want to add a little on Vizio's tech support. Our first TV arrived and worked out of the box but, in a couple of days, we noticed a slight discollored (grey on light backgrounds) 4" wide bar just off center. I contacted tech support via the web and received an email reply the next day. The email was very detailed and walked me through the process of attempting to fix the screen issue. Afterwards the problem still existed so I followed the last step explained in the email (I called live tech support). I was surprised to hear a clear, english as first language, person on the other end (without having to spend 10 mins hitting the keypad). Up front you are advised that Vizio tech support is handled in the US and all calls are answered in the US (I love this complany). I can't find the name for the tech support person I worked with but, I can tell you, he was very professional and quick to determine that the best course of action was to get a view of the screen. I took three pics and sent them to him and, the next day, he called me back and said a new (re-certified) tv would be delivered within 7 to 10 days.
I received a call from the delivery company to set up a delivery date and then received an email that detailed the process which included what I had to do and what the delivery company had to do (I only had to disconnect the cables). Delivery was actually made two days early and the new Vizio works like a champ.(Posted on 8/28/10)
- Easy to Setup Review by Krazykat

After I unpack it, I was worry about the setup and how difficult it is...to my surprise..the screen show me step by step on setup procedure..it even assist me to install my Blue Ray DVD player, regular DVD and my Playstation 3. The wireless setup was a breeze..
Later that evening , I watch a movie from Netflick - it was HD stream and was watching in a movie theater. Oh by the way , if you drive a Honda Odessey like we have , the box will fix perfectly after you lower the 3rd row seat. We decided to pick one up at Sams club and it is nearest to our house..(Posted on 8/27/10)
- Excellent TV Review by golfnrl

I bought my 55" Vizio LED from Dell. It arrived as scheduled. I took it out of the box and set it up without any problems whatsoever. Others may not like the remote that comes with the TV but I think it is great. The set up was flawless with the step by step on screen set-up guide. I had the TV up and running on my home wireless network in just a few minutes. The picture is awesome! In fact, it is so good I am thinking of buying another one for another room. I can't wait for the start of football season. The picture on this TV is so clear I didn't realize what I was missing with my regular 46" LCD tv. Great TV Vizio!

- More Bang for your buck! Review by Uhsul
-
Better features then comparable 55" LED LCD TV's on the market, with typical savings of $1,100. At these prices you could afford two for the price of 1 SAMSUNG or SONY. Best of all, true 802.11N WIFI internet with full QWERTY keyboard built-in to remote, Blue-tooth or Infrared, makes watching NETFLIX a breeze! The Vizio VF552XVT is almost double the thickness and is a bit heavier then comparable LED/LCD TV's, but if you purchase a decent quality wall mount you won't notice it at all. The Bottom-line for me were the features for the price, no other LED/LCD that I looked at had more or better features, or significant picture quality then the Vizio VF552XVT for the price, and if you buy it at COSTCO or SAMSCLUB you can save even more money. Vizio's VF552XVT really does give you more BANG for your BUCK, and in today's economy every penny does count!

- Fantastic picture great value Review by Hairbear
-
Bought at Sams for a great price $1748. Picture fantastic. Compared to major brands costing twice as much this was an easy choice. Love the bluetooth remote & wireless internet features. link/setup was a breeze. Great sound. Only complaint-- wish the USB ports were active to play photos. Guess I'll have to post them on Facebook.

- simplemente la mejor Review by ht

En mayo 2010 decidi comprar esta tv vizio 47" TruLED™ LCD HDTV, en sams club, ya tenia varias semanas comparando la calidad de la imagen con las otras marcas ahi mismo en sams ya ke siempre las exiben todas juantas y es cuando puedes comparar la imagen, esto sin contar que con las otras no tienes la opcion de internet para ver peliculas, el clima, facebook, etc. etc. pero cuando la tuvimos en casa fue espectacular que sin tener un reproductor BLU-RAY o cable con HD puedes ver claramente las imperfecciones de los actores o cualquier persona en tv, la verdad fue impresionante la calidad de la imagen y la calidad del sonido aparte de todas las funciones de internet, tanto que decidi devolver esta tv-lcd de 47" solo para comprar el mismo modelo 55" TruLED™ LCD HDTV y para ke les cuento mas, esto es lo que se conoce como " ( ( ( A L T A D E F I N I C I O N ) ) ) " les recomiendo 100% comprar esta TV, hablando del precio ni se diga $ 1.800 dlls mejor precio y mucho mas calidad que las marcas "famosas" smsg o sny, creo que estas ya se quedaron atras y posiblemente VIZIO tendra que subir a lo mas alto del podio.

- Awesome TV Review by AH Family

I bought this TV from Dell about three months ago... Compared to other brands VIZIO is the best "bang for the buck" out there... I love this TV... I love the internet apps, having NETFLIX at the push of a button is my favorite APP of all... The TVs picture is perfect and the sound quality is pretty good too... I use this TV with a VIZIO Blu-Ray player and I was speechless when I saw how clear my movies are using the VIZIO TV and Blu-Ray player together... It was like I was actually there watching the action through a spotless glass window... My wife loves that she can see the imperfections on actors faces due to the clear picture, she says " wow they really are not perfect looking people after all"... LOL... I am so happy with this TV and the VIZIO brand that I will be outfitting the rest of the rooms in my 6 bedroom house with VIZIO 32" TVs next... Keep up the good work and the great prices VIZIO and I promise you'll make a life long customer out of me!!!!

- NICE TV Review by mrphilly

I set this baby up about a week ago and I could'nt be happier. Blue ray is awesome to say the least and the hook-up was a breeze. About two years ago, i don't think I would have purchased a Vizio product, but now, this was the best purchase indeed for the $$$. I think this company has come a long way, and if you decide to buy this tv, i think you'll be as happy as I am. Thanks Vizio for a great product.

- What a STEAL! Review by JoshG

Picked up this TV on a clearance for $1430 at Sam's Club. When comparing it to a comparable Samsung and Sony that were $2K+ I couldn't believe the picture was just as good for a much better price! Loving it on my Home Theater PC!
