Amazing!,
Just got the TV yesterday and hooked it up this morning for the Macy’s parade! Amazing is all I have to say. Install is easy – just attach the base if you are not wall mounting. Took about 10 minutes from box to watching TV. The apps are what make this entire thing so worth while. Before we were streaming video through demand with our blueray player – now you can stream right from the TV, which makes it seamless. You can also watch TV on the side while browsing for a movie to stream. I love the technology.
The thin rim on this TV also makes the profile smaller and increases the viewing area.
Best 2012 purchase and I didn’t even have to leave the house!

Great value for the price, but below average sound quality,
You get what you pay for and with this model you get plenty. Te size is great, the minimalist form factor is refreshing and the picture is above average. The weakest point to the unit is definitely the sound. Since the speakers are rear mounted due to the thinness of the unit and minimal form factor, their is something to be desired regarding the sound. This can be remedied with a Vizio sound bar or an equivalent which will pump um the sound and base. But unfortunately that comes with an extra cost. Overall no buyers remorse and very pleased with the value delivered for the price. Cheers!

VIZIO has won me over!,
I was reluctant to purchase this TV at first as it was only my second HDTV purchase and my first one was a 43 inch Samsung plasma TV. The Samsung’s panel died on me about 2 weeks ago after working great since I bought it in May 2011. Luckily, I had purchased a 3 year warranty through Squaretrade and they got my refund to me super quick (highly recommended). I came across this VIZIO and it basically owns the best reviews for a 50 inch LED (now I see why), so after a little research I went for it and I really feel like I hit a home run with this one.
Picture Quality:
Having previously owned the 43 inch Samsung Plasma, I can definitely say the blacks are nicer on the Samsung, but that’s be supposed to be a strength for a plasma TV. Being an LED, this VIZIO has more than adequate blacks in its display of HD and even standard channels. The overall display of standard channels on this VIZIO have a decent looking picture. HD movies are true 1080p and beautiful.
Sound Quality:
I think the sound quality of this TV is adequate, not awesome, but adequate. If you’re wanting an impressive home theater experience from an audio standpoint then I think a sound bar or a surround sound system would be the way to go here.
Functionality:
The TV, out of the box takes about 15 minutes to set up if you’re taking your time. The remote is a little small, but unless you have massive hands it shouldn’t be an issue. When you go to turn on the TV it takes about 15 seconds from when you press the power button to when you see the screen display the picture. Maybe that’s too long for some people, it doesn’t bother me. The Wifi connection process is fast, smooth, and seamless. As far as the Smart TV features go, it’s very non-invasive. Pops up at the press of the big “V” button midway up the remote and it displays the scrollable bar along the bottom of the screen with everything from Netflix & Hulu Plus to YouTube, Twitter, Skype, and Facebook.
I know this review has nothing to do with a Squaretrade warranty, but I felt compelled to reiterate that their warranties are so valuable. I bought a 4 year warranty for this TV that cost $99.99, but I found a 35% off coupon code that made the warranty only $70 after tax. Just thought I’d throw that out there.
Overall, I would say if you’re looking to go bigger than the 40 inch range with a HDTV that really delivers in quality and performance without breaking the bank, then this is the TV for you!
