Purchased the TV on July 28 "site to store" I picked it up on Aug 2. Purchased wall mount from Walmart, easy to install. Turned it on and programming was easy, internet setup was easy. connected HD converter, Direct TV and home theater system all through HDMI and digital optical sound with no problems. TV picture is great, crisp and bright. Have only had working for about a month but so far it is working as expected and advertised.

After much research, we decided on this 240Hz LED/LCD TV. The picture is amazing, better than our 2 year old 47" Vizio. Before buying, we viewed it side by side with Samsung and Sony LEDs which were thinner, but over $1k more. It picked up our wireless immediately and we were able to try all the features. Configuring the remote to work with our SA 8260 cable box was a snap. While the unit's remote works with most of the cable functions, the buttons are small and unlit. Like most LED and LCDs, the sound is average at best. Our old Sony projection was huge and had the space for 8" speakers, tweeters, and built-in subwoofer. We haven't yet hooked it to our Bose sound system. Now we need a Blu Ray player.

The product was both lighter than expected and met my every expectation, is easily assembled and connectable to computer, DVD's and other accessories. The only concern is that it is very close to the wall; however a flexible bracket should have been recommended and not just a fixed bracket since it is light enough and only 100 lbs total.

The Vizio LCD TV exceeded my expectations. It came with integrated WIFI with no extra USB adapter to purchase (other mfg require a $80-$100 USB adapter to obtain Netflics and other streaming video TV programs). The TV was ready to plug-in and operate right out of the box. The operator manual was well written and customizing the TV for my preferences was a snap.

This TV is our second, flat, LCD, VIZIO TV although the first one is smaller and purchased elsewhere.
This TV has been amazing, right out of the box. I followed all of the instructions on the quick start guide and everything just works. From connecting to our TV supplier and our DVD player right to connecting to our wireless network, everything just works great. The remote controls our cable box and vice-a-versa. The remote connects to the TV via Bluetooth and to the cable box via infrared so a little careful aiming is required to control the cable box. Not being so careful about aiming is a side affect of using the Bluetooth, but it just takes a little thinking to overcome. The TV controls are very straight-forward and the internet apps work well. I like the Yahoo weather and news. We're considering becoming a Netflix subscriber so we can take advantage of that app as well.
All-in-all, this has been a wonderful experience and I'd recommend this TV to all my friends and family.

Bought this TV as a surprise for my husband. Was looking for something that would be a leap or two ahead of coming technology. Price is 200 more in the store. Surprising since this tv was not to be available in store. Have had issues with the wireless feature. Finally gave up and got the ethernet cable and wired it and have not had issues with net flix since. I have nothing but good things to say about the picture. I have been watching older movies and they come alive on this screen. I spent the extra $149 for the extended warranty. Just in case. An illuminated remote would have been the perfect finishing touch.

have this shipped to your house. it saved my back and will save yours.
this IS a replacement for a 50" plasma.
it arrived a day sooner that expected. the shipping company called first to make sure somebody would be at home. first rate delivery, just OUTSTANDING!
the sound is good/great on HDMI. i also have an extra system for the really good movies and football.
the picture. what can i say. really, it is like looking thru a window. everything, crisp, sharp and just WOW! watched some cop show, hit pause on the dvr, reading the plate was easy and could see that they had covered the reg sticker.
when you get this window, you will watch ALL of your old dvd's and such, just to see what you have been missing!
only one bad thing. if you go wall mount, get a 10 foot power cord and 12 foot HDMI cable or what ever connection you are using. i already had a 10 foot power cord and such, so no big deal.
if this is your first big window and it is going onto the wall. PAY THE EXTRA AND HAVE THEM INSTALL IT! as i said before this is a replacement, to a much lighter window, so no big deal.
and yes i call it a window not a tv. BECAUSE IT IS LIKE LOOKING INTO AND/OR THRU A WINDOW!

I picked up my Visio and installed it on my wall. Followed the directions to set it up and it worked perfectly for the first evening, perhaps 3 hours. The next day it did not work. Their tech support out of Utah did everything to try to fix the problem. Thought it was a power supply problem. Advised somebody would call to schedule a repair...within 24 to 48 hours. Got a message from "HD repair" wanting to schedule my repair. I returned their call and gave them my reference number they had left on my answering machine. They could not find me in their system. Thought I was someone in Indiana, I am in North Corolina. Somehow they thought my reference number was transposed in their system, but they could not find me or explain why I got the call.Called Visio to complain. They were lost as well. Couldn't respond until they had a copy of my Walmart receipt. I emailed it to them 3 days earlier but they couldn't locate it or it wasn't posted yet. The product was good for 3 hours. There tech support is great. The customer service department is lost and HD repair is clueless.

I recently purchased this product for my living room mounted above the fireplace. The installation was easy and it looks great. Although I haven't had time to go through all the features, it is amazing that it has as many features including the wireless internet. I'm sure that I'll have this for years to come. VIZIO makes a good product for the price.

This is my 3rd Vizio TV, I have a 46" in my bedroom, a 32" in my sons bedroom, now this 55" in our living room. I am truely impressed with the quality of these sets for the money. The picture on this TV is really something, I have the HDMI hookup and WOW! Nature shows are sharp as well as sports and the news! I ordered online with no shipping charges, only downside was "curbside" delivery, which meant my husband and sons had to carry it inside. The hook up was simple with the on screen instructions and the connections are easy to get to. I gave a lower star rating on the sound because it varies slightly through show/commercial, I am intuned to that more so then others so it bothers me. The remote is ok, no lighting up on the buttons so hard to see in dark, but my cablebox remote works the TV. Overall I feel I got my moneys worth with this purchase.

Pro's Nice Looks, Well Built, Beautiful Picture. Very nice Features, Menu Funktions Eg Sound Picture Ect.
Con's USB Ports not usable (service only). Picture Brightness Uniformity is not even all four corners of the picture are lighter than the rest of the rest of the picture. Why put USB ports on the tv, USB ports are useless on this tv. TV tuner doesn't receive over the air stations very well, poor tuner. No Headphone Jack.
A nice working tv, I returned my tv Because of the Cons listed above. If you're are looking for 240Hz TV at a low price, then this is it.

I have purchased 5 Vizio TVs so when I wanted an internet ready TV I went with the Vizio VF552XVT after reading excellent reviews online. My experience has been very different. About 2 months after purchasing the TV I began to see red lightning like streaks on top of the dark colors while watching all programs. I contacted Vizio, it took 6 days to satisfy their customer service department, with serial numbers, model numbers, pictures of the TV malfunctioning, being shuffled from person to person. Finally an appointment was set 2 weeks out to repair the TV. When the repairman came he did not want to see what the TV was doing, he was familiar with the problem. After the repairman left the TV reboots itself 2 times and goes through what appears to be a self diagnostic process, every time you turn the TV on. The Vizio factory remote no longer worked, after resetting everything, I got the remote to work in the IR mode but the blue-tooth is not working. Sorry my visual documentation is video, so I do not have jpeg files to post.

I received this TV as an early birthday present. I did a lot of reseach of Lcd/led tvs. I found this one online. I must say that it has exceeded my expectations. The picture quality is great. I looked at other brands of TVs that cost double the price and the picture is just as good if not better than the higher priced models. I have it connected to my 5.1 system. I have only had this tv for a couple of weeks but so for so good. I am impressed with Vizio. I love my gift.

This is the 8th Vizio I have purchased (4 for me and 4 for my church.) That means I have liked the brand and believe in the value and quality. I am "skittish" because 1.5 years into my LAST TV's 2 year warranty after lots of calls, a home service, etc. my 47" had to be replaced, so I got a refurb 120hz, which I was very happy with.
NOW it was time to go from 47" to 55" and add the Internet Apps, so I bought this one. All is well and I LOVE it....BUT, just two weeks into it, I am beginning to get skittish and watching VERY closely, as, while watching TV (only TV and AV1 input: cable box also) the picture went black on us (1-2 seconds) a few times, and last night the SOUND left for a few seconds.
I am HOPING it was the NETWORK, but based on my past experience, I am STILL watching it VERY closely. IF it proves to be the network/service, then I will have found that I have the "dream" TV, as I LOVE everything about it, and would buy it all over again. Let's see! This thing is awesome. I just cannot imagine though, that if THIS one goes out, I could STAY with Vizio...even after having 8 of them....

I have had this TV for just under 90 days and last night it broke. It would not read ANY of the HDMI ports or give any sound. The connections all seem to have broken or disconnected from within. When the TV actually worked it was great, picture was awesome. I'm lucky to have had it break within the 90 day return period but you may not get so lucky! AVOID this product. Spend the extra few-hundred dollars for a different brand.

I looked at LG, Samsung and Vizio TV's. I was amost going to buy a Samsung, for a lot more money, but then I noticed that they did not have tuners built in. I was really tempted by the LG TV's, expecially the true LED LCD's, but then I noticed the Vizio's at Walmart.com. WOW! What a value! The picture is incredible. I noticed no flaws. I like the fact that it updates its programming via wireless internet. I love the concept of yahoo managing the widgets for Vizio. So, as the number of internet options increases, this TV can grow with that reality. It connected to my wireless network in a SNAP! I love the BlueTooth keyboard, and hope they start including other BlueTooth accessories, such as full sized keyboards. I love the number of different inputs. They even thought to give an HDMI connector with separate audio, in case you have a PC to connect via DVI to HDMI converter. This TV even makes my old VCR tapes look spectacular.

Review 20 for VIZIO 55" Class LED-LCD 1080p 240Hz HDTV,VF552XVT SPS Internet-Connected HDTV with VIA
Well like allot of the other reviews it was a sinch to setup. Controls my Dish DVR622 reciever, and my paisonic blueray player. The remote is in my oppinion great, no it is not backlit but you shouldnt watch tv in the dark anyway :) The wireless hooked up just as easy on first try to my ATT 2wire router. Love netflix it downloads movies in about a minute. Really taking advantage of the free trial...;) The picture is breathtaking especially blueray! The HD thru the dish reciever is great to, just wish all the channels were in HD, because with this TV the quality is noticable when you go from HD to standard. I upgraded from a 60" philips projection tv. I do not miss the extra 5". The picture is so much prettier then that 60". Plus the philips takes up so much room i'm about ready to give away. I also purchased a TV defender screen protector, i have two young roudy boys. But i must tell you that the space between the speaker and the tv is blocked so the strap from the protector is wraped around the speakers to the back of the tv. So if you get a screen protector you might try one without the straps. It is worth protecting your investment. If you are trying to decide wether or not to get it, GET IT! YOU"LL LOVE IT... The pics does not do the TV justice, the picture is allot nicer in person...
