Great TV,
Received this TV a couple of days ago and was very satisfied with everything it has. It’s very lightweight, as a petite female, I was able to screw the TV to its stand and lift it to the table. Setup was easy, I was able to watch Netflix in a couple of minutes. In the beginning, the lighted Vizio logo was very annoying, till I found out that I was able to turn it off from the TV menu.
I sorta got an info overload from the Apps; so far I only setup Netflix and Yahoo! weather, the rest can wait (or I’ll never use, due to the clumsy keyboard on the remote). Also received $5.99 credit for one free HD movie from Vudu. With all these goodies, who needs cable? I just bought Mohu HDTV indoor antenna and can’t wait to set it up.
List of preinstalled apps: Rhapsody, Yahoo! (Finance, Weather, News & Store), flickr, Netflix, Vudu, Hulu Plus, Amazon, YouTube, Skype, Twitter and Facebook.
Remote is ok (see attached pic). Too many small buttons on both sides, accidental pressing of the buttons can’t be avoided.
One feature that this TV doesn’t have (and my old dear tube TV from the 1990s had) is the wakeup feature. It has sleep feature though. Why not both? Hmmm…
Please note that this model is better than its cousin M420SL. Dynamic Contrast Ratio for SL 200,000:1 and KD (this model) 1,000,000:1.

Pretty good TV, but slow response on the internet apps,
Overall a good TV. Picture quality is good, contrast and brightness leaves nothing to be desired, refresh rate and 120Hz is quite nice.
The response time when starting the Internet Apps, such as Netflix or Pandora, takes about 30 seconds if you’re starting them up for the first time after turning on the TV. Also, it comes with a lot of apps that I didn’t find useful. These can be uninstalled though, and new ones installed. Pandora isn’t pre-installed, but can be downloaded easily. General TV turn-on time is also a bit longer than I’d like, about about 15 seconds.
