 "Vizio 55 inch - a fantastic TV" 2010-02-18
By Ganesh R. Kalbavi (Rochester Hills, MI USA)
I have used this TV for almost two months now and am pleased enough to write a review.



I bought it because it was a steal compared to the name brands and I don't care much for their fancy features (In the past, I did and in the end I hardly used them after the initial experimentation).



I did not have digital cable or HD cable when I installed it. But still this TV showed a tremendous improvement in the images with standard cable compared to the Sony 35" CRT TV that I had. But a couple of weeks ago, I hooked up a HDTV antenna to get over the air HDTV broadcasts. This TV came to life and the images are absolutely fantastic - crystal-clear and brilliant.



I've used one A/V port to view internet directly from my PC. Two HDMI ports have been used for a blue-ray and a standard DVD+VCR player. I used the optical digital out to hook up the TV to my amp and the Dolby digital sound from the HDTV broadcasts really make you enjoy the viewing even more.



I have not noticed any problem from the TV so far.



The screen is a mattee finish which suits me fine because I have a bright room and don't want to see reflections of windows.



The remote is really simple (and a relief compared to the complicated ones I have).



Overall a happy owner.

Excellent picture and very good sound on this tv. It's the best deal I could find and this is confirmed by Consumer Reports.

By T. Jones (Athens, TN)
I had been waiting for a price break on this product because I missed the Black Friday sale at Costco. When I saw the same price here on Amazon I jumped on it. The TV arrived in just a fews days and I love. Great value for the price.

 "One of better purchases you will make in your life..." 2010-01-20
By Scott Gardner (Utah, USA)
Before I get into the nitty gritty, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I'm a review junkie. Sue me. So when I know I want something like a new HDTV I research high and low to not only find the best price, but I also want pretty darn close to the best product out there on the market. From professional reviews to consumer reviews here on Amazon, I do my best to soak it all in. With that being said, in my experience I've never been disappointed with something I've bought that I've done extensive research on...



And that holds true with the Vizio VF550M.



I bought my set at Costco during the Thanksgiving Weekend Sale. One of the first things I noticed right out of the box was how big it really was. I upgraded from a 46" LCD and the size was noticeably (and awesomely) huger. Yes... huger. When I saw the VF550M display at Costco it just didn't look that big because it was set next to other 50-60 inch sets and in the middle of a huge warehouse. However, while setting it up I realized it was the perfect size for the further viewing distance in our family room. The set-up was easy enough. I mounted the tv with the VideoSecu Adjustable Tilt TV Wall Mount (bought on Amazon) which I was very pleased with. We ran the cables through the wall to my devices to hide them... and I must say, it looks beautiful mounted to a wall. I would definitely recommend mounting this set. I didn't care too much for the remote that came with the TV so I opted to upgrade to the Logitech Harmony 670 remote (also got on amazon).



The picture on this TV was just as good or better than any other HDTV I have ever seen. The black levels are great with the DCR feature. Blu-Ray looks amazing on the big screen. I will admit I jumped on the 120hz bandwagon and as of right now I couldn't be happier with it when it comes to watching sports- but thats all I use 120hz (or "Smooth Motion Effect") for.



PROS

-BIG

-Great 120hz feature for Sports

-Good out of the box sound

-5 HDMI ports!

-Stunning picture



CONS

-Don't care for the remote

 "Excellent TV" 2010-01-08
By M. Haley
I received the Vizio VF550M television from Amazon today and am very happy with my purchase. This is an excellent TV at a fair price. I waited for the price to come down and only paid 1,249.00. No tax and free shipping. It was delivered by Pilot Transport in perfect condition and unlike another reviewer I had no problems with Pilot. The delivery man was very friendly and professional. He brought the tv in to my house, unboxed it, inspected it and plugged it in to test it. It worked perfectly.



The VF550M is a huge screen, crystal clear on HD channels. I was surprised at how good the sound was. Most tv's have very poor sound. This tv's sound is not bad at all but I connected it to my sound system. Sounds great. I'm very happy with this tv.



I also have a 19" and a 32" Vizio both of which I am very happy with. The picture on all 3 are equal to or better than much more expensive brands. I highly recommend Vizio.

 "Feature rich - but not reliable" 2010-01-07
By Anupam Bagchi (San Jose, California, USA)
I bought this camera from Amazon and it came with a box with half the components missing. I had to send it back and got back my money (less shipping). Then I bought this camera from another online retailer and this time I got a new box. But so what, the camera would not zoom. I requested for a refund and no response. Since I stay in the Bay Area, I just drove to their delivery center and accosted their sales guy face to face. First of all he kept on saying that he does not entertain walk-ins, but when I insisted he said he will take a look at my camera. He realized that the camera had a fault, and said he had a floor model that he can give me in exchange. I did not object and so finally I got a camera that seemed to work.



On getting back home I tried taking shots, and imagine what I found. The camera just cannot retain its focus. When the camera starts it gets into focus, and a few seconds later it starts having trouble. I have tried it under all lighting conditions and all possible settings - the focusing is just messed up.



This camera has given me nothing but frustration. Avoid it. Quality of picture is horrible as it can never stay focused on the subject. It is better to go with a brand name camera that a no-name one like this. The thought behind this camera design is good as it is feature-rich, and the price is attractive too, but it will not satisfy your need as it fails to take good pictures/video.



By the way, the web-site for the camera is [...] and they sell it there too, but you will be taking more risk by buying it from there as they will completely ignore your emails and phone calls if you want to return the item. At Amazon you at least have the A-Z return guarantee. I made the mistake of buying another product from their web-site directly and had the same issue with focussing. Unfortunately, I cannot even return the item as my calls and emails have all gone into a black hole.

 "Just as described!" 2009-03-17
By P. D. Lueken (Indianapolis, IN)
I just got this today, charged the battery, took a 1 minute video and played it on my hi def TV. Very easy to hook up and the picture is crystal clear. I am thrilled with this camcorder! I have tried 4 other camcorders in this same price range in the past couple of months and not one of them has come close to the quality of video that this one produces.

I haven't taken the time to try out all of the other features, and I don't know about battery life - I'll have to update later. But for now, I am one happy camper!

 "It's great but...." 2009-10-07
By Peter B. Perkins Jr. (California)
This TV is easy to use, has a good array of inputs on the back, and even has a headphone input. My biggest complaint is the light bleed especially the edges. Coupled with Blu-Ray the picture is amazing but when my eyes aren't attracted to the edges I'm looking at that spot that supposed to be dark but is kind of shiny-ish. If you know what I am talking about and really don't care then I highly suggest this TV and brand in general for the ease of use and low prices but if you are easily distracted like me you should probably look for something else...

 "Excellent all around." 2009-10-01
By Michael W. Bennett (Baltimore, Maryland USA)
Delivery was as promised, and the television is wonderful. The picture is great, and my only regret is that I did not purchase a larger screen.

 "Speaker hiss, logo won't turn off" 2009-09-15
By Adam J. Richter (Campbell, California USA)
When playing digital broadcast television or HDMI digital audio such as from a blu-ray or DVD, the built-in speakers have substantial hiss reminscient of a distant analog television siginal. The headphone jack (the unmarked hole in back of the left edge of the monitor) also has audio static, although the static was only noticible when I used my $[...] Maxell dhp-ii headphones and unnoticible on my $[...] Inland heaphones. I bought one of these televisions at Costco and swapped it out for a replacement due to the audio static, and both units had the same audio static. I work around this by connecting my headphones directly to my blu-ray player and keeping something plugged into the telvision's headphone jack.



Also, if you are going to use this television as a monitor always playing video-only signals, you should be relieved to know that the audio static apparently does not occur until it is asked to play audio. So, if you are just going to connect the monitor to an HDMI computer video card with no audio, you may never have to deal with the static.



Another drawback you should be aware of is that you need an external AC power switch to get the unit's logo light to turn off.



Finally a really minor complaint is that selecting VGA input from the remote control requires a multi-key sequence that has a fast enough timeout that I often have to try twice. The other inputs have their own buttons on the remote control, so this problem only applies to VGA, which will become less popular in the future anyhow.



In spite of these drawbacks, if you think of this device as a video-only monitor with a good number of inputs that, as a bonus, includes speakers and a broadcast digital TV tuner that can be used to catch the news occasionally, it is cost competitive with similar computer monitors that have no speakers and no ATSC tuner.

 "Another Great Buy From Vizio!" 2009-08-29
By Roger Durr (Kentucky)
As a future college student, I have looked for, researched, and tried out many small HDTV's to use as a computer monitor/HDTV for my dorm room. The employees at Best Buy stated that if a TV wasn't over 46 inches big, you couldn't tell the difference between 1080p and 720p. However, he didn't know what he was saying. At relatively far distances (i.e. normal watching distance for most TV's) the difference between 1080p and 720p is small to none. However, from a short distance (like 4 feet for a 42 inch, or 1.5 feet for a 24 inch) you can easily tell the difference in resolution. This is where this T.V. comes in. As a computer monitor, I will be close up to the screen, reading tiny text like the text in this review! Now that the main issue has been sorted out, it's onto the main review:



Contrast-5000:1 may seem like a big number, but that is only dynamic. Although I couldn't find the static/typical contrast, it is probably around 900-1000. However, since this set has a relatively low brightness (300 cd/m2), blacks looked blacker than normal, which is a good thing.



Resolution- 1080p...enough said!



Motion- 5 ms means that button presses on any device (like a keyboard or game console) happen with only an unnoticable .05 second delay, which is lightning fast. However, since there is no 120Hz, there will be noticeable motion blur on extremely fast action scenes. This tv is relatively small, so motion blur won't be a big problem for normal watching and gaming.



Feature Set/Presentation- since this is an ECO HDTV, it uses far less power than previous models, if your into the whole energy saving thing. SRS TruSurround is always a good thing for making movies and other sounds "pop" but when that program is run through 3 Watt speakers, you can't expect much. The 3D comb filter, now standard with many HDTV's, helped to put out a wide color scheme; at least that's what my friends said they saw, I'm colorblind, so color gamut specs really don't apply to me. The white/black look touches off my 360, but it can only match with so many things.



Overall Value- for a little over $300, you get full 1080p, a relatively "large-small-screen" great for a computer monitor, and the confidence that you got another good HDTV from Vizio.



Hope you liked the review!
