- Best Deal & Great Quality Review by Greg
-
I bought this TV after much study. My original thought when I bought the TV was that I would sacrifice a little on quality for the size. Well, I was wrong! Great TV! Picture looks great, blu-ray's look great, even streaming Netflix from my Wii looks decent.
I had to make a few adjustments for my Blu-Ray connection as far as settings go. However, for the normal "TV Watcher" the "Standard" setting is fine. The only thing I suggest is to turn off the light sensor. I found it frustrating at times. However, once I figured out how adjust it...no issues.
Thus comes my third point. Vizio service was awesome. I emailed the help desk and within 2-5 mins my issue was fixed.
Thanks Vizio for making a great product. In addition, I also bought their Wireless Blu-Ray Player. Awesome as well!
I will be sticking with you guys from here on out.

My husband and I bought this T.V. in October, and we could not decide to choose this one a smart tv. We have a laptop so we decided to go ahead with this tv and connect our laptop to view movies just as if we had a smart tv. It works wonderful, and we couldn't be happier!

I bought it last weekend to move my 32'' vizio to another room. Now I want to get another one for other rooms. Picture is great, just the right size, and $999.99 at costco, you can't beat it! Sports look great, especially outdoor motocross. Thanks Vizio.

- good Review by billy
-
I recently purchased this tv to replace a sony 3d hd tv that shut down on me for no obvious reason, and due to sony's over complicated and not consumer friendly custumer service i have switched to vizio. I must say that i am overjoyed at the quality of this tv. When in the market for an hd tv i foolishly over looked vizio as a brand and that was a mistake. i love this tv much more than i ever loved my sony and i would never look back.

- questions before buying Review by DANNY
-
I am in the market for a new tv. There are alot of great reviews for this tv, but I intend on watching sports on my new tv. I saw a tv with 3,000,000:1 dynamic contrast. This tv seemed to be the only one that didn't blur when the quarterback threw the ball. It only had a refresh rate of 60hz though. I am trying to find out if this tv can handle the speed of a football flying through the air. Any opinions or comments?

- Very good set Review by dixon
-
Out of the box, the colors, contrast, brightness are fairly accurate (using something like Joe Kane's DVD Essentials/HD Basic) when set to HOME. But if you want finer adjustments, it seems that full custom adjustments are available only on HDMI 1. HDMI 2 to 4 have backlit, brightness and contrast adjustments, but color, tint, and some of the other finer controls, are not available. I have a multi-region DVD and a Blu-ray player, and I could only adjust the set for color correctness for the Blu-ray input.

This is a sweet TV. I wont go into tech specs cause I cant read but this TV is so sweet it will be tough to do almost anything but enjoy its magnificeint glory. Video games look sweet. Satatellite TV viewing is sweet. Blu-Ray quality is super sweet and the price was oh so sweet. I highly recommend this set. Hang in on a wall and you will see how sweet it is.
Cant wait to see what more this brand can offer.(Posted on 12/6/10)
- AWESOME TV! Review by Dina
-
This Tv is simply AMAZING. The ability to hook up dual gaming equipment and play together online split screen for my fiance and I is probably the most exciting part to this TV. The ability to use it as a monitor for my computer, and use the computer and watch tv on the same screen is also an amazing asset to this tv. Its picture quality is the best I have ever seen. I am so happy we got this TV on Black Friday for less than 1000! The best money I have ever spent on a TV! Kudos VIZIO!!!!!
