 Great tv May 24, 2010
sea biscuit (Charleston, SC United States)
I was hesitant to buy this tv because of some of the other reviews but had seen it in a store and decided to give it a try; I was prepared to take it back if I didn't like it. I was looking for something for the kitchen that wouldn't have a large footprint but would be big enough to see the screen and loud enough to hear. I liked the sleek look of the Vizio and it fit under my kitchen cabinets when I wanted to push it out of the way. The picture in the store was fabulous but new it wouldn't necessarily be good at home. We are very happy and I would definitely buy another. The original remote didn't work and fortunately I had a universal remote I could use. I called Vizio and without hesitation they sent me a new remote that I received 5 business days later.
Since the switch to digital we found there were certain shows we could barely hear, even with the volume turned all the way up. The audio on this tv is much better than our previous one, although I wish there were a few more options to set. But for a tv this size, the video, audio, and price are very good.
 Great picture, but has other problems May 11, 2010
EM (USA)
Very happy with the overall picture quality of this set, but as others have mentioned, the built-in tuner is problematic.
After reading user "Ray Davis'" comments here, I called Vizio support to inquire about the firmware upgrade that supposedly fixes some of the issues with the tuner/last button/etc.
Sadly, as per the two technicians I spoke to (one of them being a Level 3), there is NO firmware upgrade for this TV. Ray Davis, if you read this, could you please update your review with the link to the firmware file/instructions/etc? I wouldn't be surprised if the firmware update is only known to certain Vizio engineers.
Also, if you are seeing the menu buttons pop up on the screen at random times, try moving your TV a bit. Apparently, sunlight and shadows hitting the screen will cause the menu to activate. This is per the Level 3 engineer I spoke with.
 Nice Picture but Too many Problems April 25, 2010

I was excited to get this LED TV for my kitchen because of the great picture but soon lost my enthusiasm because of several problems, some of which have been noted in other reviews. Eventually I gave up and returned the unit for a refund.
Poor sound quality: I suppose there is very little room in the thin case for a speaker but the sound quality was shrill and tinny, making enjoying music programs impossible.
No audio output jack: Using the headphone jack cuts off the speaker and there is no audio output RCA jack. This made it impossible for my wife to use her "TV Ears" while I listened to the speaker.
Buzzing sound in the headphone jack: This was loud enough to be annoying when listening to programs using headphones.
And for the biggy: The screen goes black and it's hard to recover if you accidently change the input to an inactive input. The Visio web site FAQ even mentions this problem and instructs you to press the input button repeatedly to get back to TV, but it doesn't always work and you have to reboot the unit.
Also the screen went black occasionally for no reason at all and I had to fiddle to recover.
I'll try another brand next time.
Really a great TV March 28, 2010

We already have one VIZIO that we are happy with. So we just bought two of these thinking we would replace a couple of the other TV's. I initially had the problems listed below. I did spend hours on the phone with VIZIO before I was able to talk to upper level technicians. Part of the problem is getting past the first level customer service people. Though they mean well, sometimes they just don't have the solutions. I must say at this point I am very happy with the TV, the solutions VIZIO provided, and the professionalism of the upper level personnel.
1. I have the TV connected to cable and unlike my other VIZIO, channel 708 is shown as 708--2 and I cannot directly enter the channel number.
***(This issue was resolved on 3-29-2010. I did some testing per VIZIO and it turns out I had to eat my words. It appears it is a problem with my cable provider. I'm working with them now)***
2. If I am on channel 708--2 and go to channel 62 then press LAST, it goes to channel 6.
***(This issue was resolved on 3-30-2010. VIZIO did a firmware upgrade and all is well. There was another issue the upgrade fixed. When you change channels either by direct entry through the remote or through channel up/down, the TV displays the channel information at the top right part of the screen. If you tried to directly enter another channel from the remote before the information disappeared from the screen, it would add the digits to the channel already shown. So if it was showing channel 3 and you tried to enter channel 10, it would become 310.)***
3. TV is tilting forward and does not want to tilt backwards.
***(4-3-2010 I finally opened the second unit and it does tilt much easier. I had to take the base off of the first one, lay it down and use the palm of my hand to make the mount move.)***
 Dust will build inside the glass panel. Do not buy. March 3, 2010

When I had this TV for the first week, it was great. I primarily used it for my PS3 since I needed a TV on my desk. The picture quality is simply AMAZING. Once you go to LED you never want to go back to CCFL-LCD. But things turned bad after a week when I started seeing dust build up behind the glass panel. While it is not noticeable from far away, to a person who constantly sits no more than 2 feet away, you will see that dust building up on the sides. I highly do not recommend this product. You would think that they seal the glass panels so no particles can get in. Wrong. The back has these vents that ultimately can lead to the sides of the glass panel inside. This is such a lame design. Look Elsewhere.
