This full-HD model delivers the smooth motion that only a 120Hz refresh rate can provide. And 1920 x 1080p resolution means you see more than two million pixels for terrific picture detail. Additional highlights include a high dynamic contrast ratio of 6500:1, four HDMI inputs for the highest digital picture quality, a computer input, and a remote control. Note: You must have a source of HD programming in order to take full advantage of an HDTV. Otherwise, the picture quality of an HDTV without an HD source may not be much better than that of a standard-definition TV. Please contact your local cable or satellite TV provider for details on how to upgrade to HD programming.

We love this tv! This was not one that they carried in the store, so when my DH decided on this one we used the site to store option......great choice!!!!! The site to store option was soooo easy and the tv came very quick, I drove to the store, went to the back to pick it up (no lines), an associate wheeled it out for me and even put it in the car for me! I truly could not ask for an easier option! The television was so easy to set up, we were watching our favorite show within 10 minutes! Great sound quality...we were worried that with all of the negative reviews on the sound of all the new flat screen tv's that we may need to add a home theater system, but boy were we pleasently suprised....GREAT LOUD SOUND! This is a defenite keeper!

Bought this Vizio had it for almost 3 weeks. One night the screen went all white. Rebooted the tv back up after about 10minutes of it off, finally came back on. Few nights after that heard a noise sizzle kinda noise and screen went black. Tried to reboot several times and NO GO, so back to Walmart's it went. Dang is there any long term good LCD tv's out there. Or are these tv's not compatible with cable boxes? Who knows...

I ove my new Vizio, I had a plasma from Vizio bt got me a newer model that supports 1080p. First this video is beautiful and its fast. The picture on it is great better than some other higher end price T.V. The sound is ok but not a big deal I have my surround sound anyways. Great for gaming and makes blu-ray movies look real.

Purchased this TV today. Instructions were not clear on connecting to Dish Network Receivers. Be sure and select Antenna, vice Cable, when performing initial setup !!! The Volume is only satisfactory, a ploy to get me to purchase the ' Vizeo Sound System ' which I will be doing tomorrow! Great picture and a great price !!!

AS A RETIRED TELEVISION REPAIR TECHNICIAN WITH 40 YEARS EXPERIENCE,I'M VERY PLEASED WITH MY RECENT PURCHASE OF THIS PRODUCT. MOST VIVID PICTURE I'VE SEEN FOR THE PRICE. 120 HZ IS ONE MAIN FEATURE THAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME.I ALSO FEEL THAT THE NUMBERS AND TYPES OF INPUTS ON THIS MODEL MAKE IT A BETTER INVESTMENT FOR FUTURE PURCHASES OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS.I DID PURCHASE A 2 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY CONTRACT FROM VIZIO FOR $99.99,WHICH SOUNDED GOOD TO ME.I WOULD RECOMMEND THE PURCHASE OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY CONTRACT FROM VIZIO.I ORDERED ON-LINE FROM WALMART SHIP TO STORE AND IT ARRIVED A COUPLE OF DAYS EARLIER THAN PREDICTED.THE "SHIP TO STORE" WALMART EMPLOYEE WAS VERY HELPFUL.OVERALL, A GOOD EXPERIENCE SO FAR.WILL ALSO UPDATE IN FUTURE IF PRODUCT OR SERVICE PROBLEMS ARISE.

this is an amazing T.V. The quality is just outstanding. The only issue you will have with this T.V. is hooking it up via HDMI. Some cable boxes are just not compatible with the HDMI interface on this T.V. My cable box happens to be one of them. I am upgrading to Dish Network anyway which should eliminate that problem. If you have issues hooking up your T.V. via HDMI with your cable box, use red, green, blue cords instead--think they are composite cables.

Excellent picture quality, sound quality, and value. Some features not present as advertised. No PIP, which was a big deal in selection of this TV for me. Other than that, overall satisfied. Can be a little lag when watching standard definition zoomed or stretched with extreme motion all over the TV.

Researched this purchase pretty carefully. Was surprised that this brand and TV kept popping up on review sites as a top buy and good product. I have to say have owned it a month and the quality of the TV is unbelievable. I had a Samsung 32" that I loved and this picture is even better if at all possible.The ease of installation especially with the install diagrams was simple.I am very satisfied to this point.

Worked fine for exactly 12 months and 3 days. Then it would not turn on. Cost to repair is $500.00 just for the part, the main box, if you can find someone to do it. And there's only a 6 month guarantee on that. After doing research that I should have done before I purchased I found this is a very common issue with this TV. Vizio would not even suggest someone to fix since warranty was for 12 months. I should have paid another couple of hundred and got something that would last. Or get the extended warranty.
