User Reviews
Viso has a long way to go in customer satisfaction.The are very slow in warrenty and seem not to know how their contractors work or where. I could not recommend this product after buying three and trying to get service.
I recieved my Vizio in a used box with no screws to put it up and no manual to firgure out how to work it. Customer service told me I could go buy some.P.S I”m still waiting for them.
I just picked one up at Costco for $579 plus tax.
The remote does NOT have a picture size/mode button. Change sources, say to DVD or laserdisk, and you have to reformat the picture. I think each input saves the picture setting so once it is set, it is set for good, but I’m not sure.
It also seemed that each input may save ALL the picture settings (color, tint, position, etc.). That is nice (but I haven’t confirmed it).
Nice picture. Mine was defect free. It handles 480p from my old DVD/DVR and 1080i/720p from my Concast cable box. Pics look good, but without a blu-ray source, I can’t really say how good. Comcast’s digital channel quality varies wildly by channel.
I picked this size because it fit inside out old entertainment center replacing our 35″ Toshiba CRT. Man, that sucker is HEAVY! Moving to the garage if I can get some of my friends to help move it!
