Product Review (submitted on March 1, 2010):

Buy this set.

For years I have wanted a larger TV, but have always put it off as unnecessary / too expensive, etc. ( I have been watching the same 20” RCA I bought when I finished college, in 1989 !!!!!!! )

With tax refund money in the bank, last week I checked out TV’s at Wal Mart and Best Buy, several looked interesting, including the 47” Samsung LED / 240hz unit, but was put off by the prices.

Friday night at Sams Club, I saw this 55”’ Vizio, and was back lunch time Sat to buy.

Out of the box, the picture in unreal. ( I don’t know how to make any adjustments / haven’t even tried to figure out any settings.)

Sat night (looking for HD content to watch) HBO HD showed the Bruce Willis movie the Fifth Element. I usually hate sci fi, but the visuals in this movie sucked me in. The space shots containing planets / space with stars / space craft were incredible. (The contrast of the white clouds around earth / the deep black of space, was incredible.) In one scene, a hand reached out of the screen, 3 d effect. A futuristic cab is in one scene, you could see the smudges / dirt on the protective glass between the cabbie and the back seat “passenger”. The eyes of the lead female character were beyond words.

I spent the rest of the weekend looking for HD movies. Sunday night was Clint Eastwoods Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. The Montana countryside was gorgeous.

In short, don’t hesitate to buy this 55” Vizio.
