Does anyone have any experience with this brand? I have gotten a lot of positive feedback and I have a 47 inch 1080 LED tv with 120 refresh rate that I ordered that looked pretty good and the price wasn't bad at all and the picture quality looked better then the Sony on display next to it.

I have two, a 32 inch and a 50 inch. The 32 developed a black line after about a year but the 50 inch plasma seems to work OK. The remotes are cheesy and the buttons appear to be going dead, but I can program around that.

Yes, it was a lower cost brand. But has really dialed in on very good quality with relatively cheap parts. I found some great reviews from electronics buffs online, when I researched them.

I just read that they are the number one selleing brand in America right now for LCD\LED TV's and they moved from a generic off brand to name brand and that their products in the last year are much better then they were and are comparable to the major brands (Sony, Samsung, Toshiba etc)....

I am a gamer and have a 42 inch vizio smart tv. It works great and was a great price. It had the best cnet reviews for it's size not even counting price. The only problem I heard at all is for vizio 3ds as their 3d is top notch but 2d is below average. This isn't the case on 2d only models so I got a 2d only.

As far as tv's go, Vizio has become a top notch product and at a lower cost. Sony (IMO) TV's are not as strong as they once were. Samsung (IMO) is still tops. But that's me. I'll pay the price for their product. Still, I would buy a Vizio. Good product.

I just got mine yesterday and it works awesome! It is the best picture I have ever seen on a tv! It's the Vizio Razor 47in 120hz 1080 LED TV with wifi enabled and on the back of the remote a full computer keyboard, I just watched Youtube videos on it. Also it has a light sensor when the lights are on the screen is automatically brighter and when they lights go off it is automatically lighter.

he only thing is the sound sucks and I have a WAY older surround dound system and it doesn't work right there is a five second lag from the screen to the speaker :(

I got a 1080 inch Vizio televizion. It is razor sharp, and it is made of led. It has two problems: the keyboard on the back of the remote is only painted on, it is not a funcional keyboard. The other problem is that the damned thing won't fit in my front door. When I watch a skin flick the whole neighbourhood settles around on my front yard.

It's humiliating, in a way, to be whacking off in the company of a bunch of zitfaced fifteen-year-olds, seeing I'm fifty eight.

Seriously speaking, I agree.

In the old days it used to be that the top-brand companies had the money to invest in good engineers, and they built therefore better working and longer lasting, more durable products.

These days the manufacture is done with cheap labour on foreign lands, so manufacturing costs are not an issue. In fact, back in those days when Japan was the rising star of the western style economies, it had the better of both worlds: cheaper labour and access to top notch engineers, and their cars now run on America's roads, and their TVs and hookers were in every American living room.

But now it's different. Now it takes 1 mathematician with his computer to improve a product. Electronics and new advances in electroncis have boiled down to quality control and math. You design new boards on a computer, and you don't need to know how to do math, but you have a great advantage if you know what part of the math corresponds to what funcion-group to each functionality in a product.

To wit, you remember the control room of the space flights in Nasa? You know, hundreds of top-notch very important and incredibly smart scientists with letters of degrees after their names, if you combined all of which, they would reach to the moon and back 6.5 times if put end-to-end? All these old hippy scientiests sitting in front of a dial or a screen, or something. And each doing or monitoring a function which if it went over a kielter just for a second, the astronauts would die. You get the picture. The contdown ended, the blasted thing lifted off, it was not in their hands any more, there came the cheer and the bubbly, and what the tv viewers were not shown, the showgirls and the debouchery and sodomy that started the bang-off.

These days these have long been replaced with 1 IBM computer, with Windows Vista, the operating system running at 1 to 67 percent capacity at any time, never exceeding 78 percent, monitored by a technician who eats apple-scented donuts, and plays "tetris" constantly.

This I put in a funny form, but it's true. It's all math, and knowing how to connect math with reality.

So the RnD budget is not large, and only those do it, who want to catapult to the front of the electronics sales.

Nobody wants to be the best-selling elecronics firm. Why? Because though the customers go ga-ga over this stuff, which is just as well, because the stuff is getting better and better, and cheaper and cheaper, there is still no money in it for the manufacturing firms. The competition is fierce, and it boils down to price, as always when competing is tough. The customers are spoiled, the companies are starved for profit.

I don't know what product or what industry is hot these days. I hear the Chinese are buying land all over the palce, to plant their future emigrees in. You see, with China's booming population, cemetery plots are sky-rocketing through the roofs. Too many people, too many dead, not enough land area to waste on such stupid things as plots, and yet they must.

So now they own half, and this is not a joke, exaclty half of all of Africa's surface land mass. Canada sold them land, too, because the Chinese don't take US dollars for money any more. They realized the USA dollar is only a smidgen more ridiculous than Monoploy money. China has more US dollars than the Franklin mint produces in ten years, so they realized this is enough. They can't ask for products, they got the products. So the safest investment for them, and therefore everyone else, is -- you guessed -- land. Cover surface on the world.

This is why Vizio and other up-and-coming products are taking over the market. Because the market don't mean shtt no more to serious investors.

It's plots. Burial plots. That's where the hot money is at.

The Indians, the Hindu Indians, they burn their dearly departed, so they are staying put for the time being.

The Chinese, however, are hot to trot for new, unbroken, virgin land for plotting.

Most flat panels have sucky sound, mine is fine but I plan to get a sound bar and sub woofer for it. That can be done for under $300 which can still put you under competitors price for just the tv which you would also need more sound lol.

Facts are these Sony is way better then crappy samsung done a side by side comparison . Sony is the same as vizio. you have to remember that someone could have messed with the settings of the Sony. Ill say it again VIZIO is Sony. Like getting a Ford instead of a Lincoln same exact stuff just cheaper price.
Best thing to do is to take a Sony and reset it to defaults then reset eh vizio to defaults. youll find they are the same.
oh by the way walmart sells low end sonys. you want high end sonys go to a high end place like Bjorns

Sony is very high end then there is Pioneer and now u have VIZIO. you jsut cant beat the three -FACTIOD
