Really like this Tv but not Controller died in 6 mounths Review by Israel

Hi I bought my first LED TV on 2/1/11 and it still looks great. I've always get good compliments frequently but sadly to say the remote controller died on me in 6 to 7 mouth from purchase. I would recommend this TV but VIZIO make a better controller fast. Thanks

Great TV Bad remote Review by wiiggwams

I have had this TV for about a year and a half. It has a great picture and best TV I have owned. I liked it so much I bought the 55" a couple months ago. The only problem is the remote just quit working as mentioned in several other review. It is just not sending a signal. I tried changing the batteries but it is dead. This TV really needs this remote. It is an unfortuanate defect.

Great TV but Remote Defective Review by TVTime

Great tv. Once you have a web enabled tv like the Vizio - you will not want to have anything else. The picture is great and I would buy another. The problem is the remote control. It just stopped working for no reason. Frustrating as the tv needs its own remote to be fully useful and functional. Also, it is very unclear how to order another one. Based on the other reviews, there is clearly a problem here the company needs to deal with....

Great TV, but... Review by Ursan

I really like this TV, I can only imagine that the newer sets are even better. However...

It'd be nice if Vizio would stop sending out updates while the set is in use. I've been keeping track of the version that the set has from time to time. Just today @ 1:45pm my set shut down while in the middle of a movie and it restarted and sure enough, the software had been updated. At first it was a nuisance, I understand that there are patches and stability fixes, but can Vizio PLEASE either stop sending out these updates are hours that people might be using the set or even better, let the END USER decide if they want the update installed. At one point I was able to use this with my MAC, however because of a recent update, I can no longer use a specific screen resolution which forced me to dig out an extra monitor to reset the resolution. Vizio needs to realize that some of it's customers like their sets the way they are and don't need these constant updates.

USB port active and update of firmware Review by steve

Great TV for the money! Been waiting for USB ports to become enabled. from what I read above the ports are on active but I live in the country and do not have wireless internet or internet period at my home. Is there a way I can download the firmware and then update to the unit?

STLL A GREAT TV FOR THE $$ & QUALITY AFTER NEARLY A YEAR Review by TONY

I have had this HDTV (SV472XVT) for almost a year now. It was my 1st HDTV & Pondered over MANY MANY BRANDS. With ALL THE OPTIONS & ALL OF THE ADDITIONAL CONNECTIONS along WITH having the Internet, just put this one over the top!! ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE (which I need to get repaired before my 1 year warranrty runs out) is my Remote. Yes its cool to have a Slide Out Remote, but my Slider has broke in a couple of places, so it needs to be repaired, BUT THATS that ONLY Complaint I have had, save for ONE UPDATE, that Vizio did, that killed my settings for my Sony Surround Sound & I have not taken the time to reconfigure. The Surround sound of this TV is great as is. One reason I have not taken the time to reconfigue my Surrond Sound as the sound on this TV IS GREAT without an aftermarket surround sound! Now need to get a TV for my bedroom, & YES IT WILL BE ANOTHER VIZIO!! Thanks for making such a great HDTV at an affordable PRICE!!

THANKS VIZIO!!

Great & still going strong! Review by dsrokdsa

Bought this set from Costco about 1 & 1/2 years ago & needless to say the set is still producing stunning pictures. A couple of Vizio issued software updates (which occur automatically via WiFi) had produced some undesirable results, but were quickly resolved by Vizio with subsequent updates - which they typically dispatched within a week or 2 of their problemed updates - kudos to Vizio!

I would dare to place the picture quality of this set up against most any of similar technology out there (i.e. LCD, with LED array backlighting, 120Hz category). I definitely have no regrets about this purchase - which for it's day when this set was first being offered was attractively priced at Costco....which was too good to pass up after they offerred a $200 price drop on this model ; ) Would buy a Vizio TV again, especially if the sucessfully Vizio lasts as long as my trouble prone S*****g DLP set!

I LOVE VIZIO Review by Jono

I love the aesthetics and style of Vizio. This TV just seemed to be a pioneer version of what there is to come in the future. The company was way ahead of other companies when it came to Wi-Fi, Internet Apps, and slide-out keypad remotes etc. The remote DEFINITELY could use a lighted up keyboard. Soon it will all be touch-screen soon though I am sure. What bothered me was the limitations on facebook browsing. Not being able to browse your own videos or older videos of others unless posted gets a little annoying. I think Vizio should make the browsers for those essential apps a little more user friendly... I previously had SV420M-C LCD TV and the smooth motion, enhanced frame rate seemed to be better and make everything look more real. There were a lot of people that thought it looked TOO real (like behind the scenes footage or cheap british television), but you look at most new 1080p televisions and they are all doing the same thing now. Seems like Vizio went backwards with the status quo. I also enjoyed the simplicity and style of my old remote as well. There are a few cons but for the most part I think Vizio is slightly above Samsung for #1. I only wish there were more apps and products available in Canada, but what can you expect from a company that has only recently started... I doubt I would turn to anything other than vizio though. I am a loyal customer and only look forward to what this company has to offer in the future.

Remote needs help Review by Mike

The TV is great, picture, sound, connections and wireless connection to my wi-fi. The remote blue-tooth must drain the batteries from the remote. I change batteries about once a month. Now just after the warranty expires the remote is dead. This remote does not reflect on the quality of the TV. Glad I bought this set.
