Uncomparable Review by jerryj

After setup and watching this TV for the first time all I can say is the picture is uncomparable to other TV's of its size. Everyone of my friends who have watched it with me can not beleive the picture quality and depth of color for the size screen. It is beyond my expections. This is all by using the siginal right out of the wall, I can't imagine how good it will be after I get a HD box from my cable company.

Blown away ! Review by 03Cobra

The first evening I set the TV up and connected it to my surround system and a Blu-ray player. We watched the new Disney BD Earth. We were in awe of the incredible picture. It just left us breathless. Even with our non blu-ray DVDs the picture is almost three dimensional. Check out a movie like Australia with the wide panning scenery it is really amazing. The outputs allow me to connect to the surround receiver with digital connections so no matter which component we are using I am getting digital sound from the television.

Thanks Vizio! Review by Crutch

I am one of the lucky people that won the VF550XVT HDTVs through the Vizio Million Dollar Event. My HDTV was delivered this past week. This TV is amazing. We went from an old Sony 36" TV to this monster. It took us a few movies to get used to the HD-quality picture. Watching the NFL Network in HD is outstanding. The sound is quite good as well. I am now looking at adding the VSB210WS Sound Bar/Wireless Subwoofer. We are back to watching TV as a family.

PS. The shipping company was the best I have ever experienced. The TV was delivered by an extremely helpful gentleman who helped me unbox this HDTV and check all sides for damage. He even helped me place the TV on our entertainment center. Thanks Vizio!

love it Review by diablo

While I have only had this tv for a few weeks, I love it! The picture is clear, the sound is great, the remote is easy to use and it is a benefit that I can program other remotes into this tv so as to be able to use my satellite remote. I am glad I purchased this tv.
