We've had this Vizio 47 inch TV for just over a month now, and the family loves it. Setup took maybe 5 minutes, using HDMI hookups for incoming Digital cable, DVD, X-box 360, and Playstation 3. Took an extra 5 minutes to hard-wire the internet cable, and connect optical audio output to the Home Theatre system.

Picture quality is excellent, with the very high contrast ratio....Black is really black, unlike on my 1-year old Sony Bravia
2 Million:1 vs 30K:1 contrast ratios). Didn't really need to do much to optimize the picture quality. Blue-Ray movies played off the PS3 look awesome. Also found it was easy to adjust the lip-sync for TV sound to make it match the surround sound system.
I don't know if the LED lighting is what improves the picture quality or not, but it looks great.

The remote is easy to use, but seems to have a flaw, continually telling me that the batteries are almost dead, when they are hours fresh. Fortunately, everything still... Read more

I received this tv about 2 months ago and here's a list of pros and cons I can come up with.
Pros:
Picture is very crisp in HD
Picture can be viewed from almost 180 degree angle of view
Overall thickness of tv is amazing, less than 2"
Internet apps

Cons:
Tv remote will not work anymore, it had problems after about 3 or 4 days. The problem initially was that sometimes the keys on the top of the remote would not work, and then every now and then they would. After 2 months, the remote is completely out of commission. I can no longer use the Internet Apps, the Tv must be turned off manually from the side, and sometimes that does not work. If I'm watching Netflix the button on the side of the Tv will not work. So the only way to turn the Tv off is to unplug it. I called Vizio customer service and spoke with a tech and I went through all the unique troubleshooting techniques that they instruct. Still nothing worked so they are sending a new... Read more

OK, so this review is based on ownership for one week. TV was VERY easy to set up and to hook up to our wireless G network (there is NO benefit from having a wireless N network), it is all about the speed of your internet and has nothing to do with the speed of your network since the internet speed will be the bottleneck, DSL will probably be to slow, the internet app VUDU said I should download movies in 1080P. The Bluetooth remote control that came with the TV controls our cable box (Comcast - Motorola), the remote is AMAZING!!! Net flick looks AMAZING!!! The other internet features are pretty good. I HOPE that the hulu deal that Vizio has done will be playable with this TV. The picture looks awesome!!! BUT there is better technology out there and local dimming is supposed to give you a better picture but it is more expensive. While watching the Home Network (house hunters) I did notice some blue bleeding from the top left corner, I am not sure if it was filmed that way or was the... Read more
