Well we bought our Vizio 42″ LCD almost 3 yrs ago… not only do I know have the wonderful blue line, showed up today… but in the middle of the screen there are dark shawdows can seen even in dark scenes. We’ve been thinking of purchasing a new TV but there is NO WAY!!!! its going to be a Vizio would rather pick a NO Name brand.

We have a 32″ Vizio just six months old it has a blue line down the front of the screen. Asked walmart if we could return it , yeah right it doesn’t hurt to dream. Vizo is giving us the run around they can keep my husband on the phone for a hour answering question, then only to tell him to call back tomorrow they can’t help him today. I am very disappointed in walmart for carrying a product they know is bad. Shame on you Vizio, but shame on you more walmart for keeping them in business.

Have a 47″ Vizio and guess what a blue line. Luckily, if I should even say that, its only about an inch and a half away from the right side. Mine actually lasted 3 years and one month. One “bleeping” month past my extended warranty that I had bought from Sam’s Club, AHHHH!

I am surprised to find so many Vizio customers with a colored line down the middle of the screen. Exactly 2 years after purchase (and 1 year out of waranty) – our 42″ Vizio has a blue line down the middle. Very annoying. I hope these compalints are well-documented thus stopping people from buying this brand.

We bought our vizio less than 2 years ago. It has gone out on us twice in the last 4 months. Their tech support is completely useless. I will never buy another vizio product. Their products are expensive, and their service is low-class.

Purchased a 42″ FHDLCD from Walmart in June 2008. Two weeks ago the set was working fine, next morning no sound no picture. Called the customer service line (we purchased the extended warranty) and they stated that a tech would be at our house in 3 days. It’s been two weeks and numerous calls to the customer service center, they contradict each other! Very frustrated and pissed off at the customer service center and Vizio in general. One shells out $1100.00 for tv and then goes go shite, don’t think so. Stay away from this line. Pay more for recognized name brand, works out in the long run!!!!

Bought 42″ from Walmart, worked fine for first 6 months Then we would turn it on and get sound, no picture. Called Vizio, no real help. I documentd everything. We made 8 calls to tech support, Finally after 3 months, they finally sent a tech that replaced almost everything. Still had same problem. Sent a refurbished one to replace it. We have had it for 4 month. Now it is out of warranty and this TV is doing the same exact thing. I will never buy another Vizio Their tech support is rude and sounds like they work from home. They also put you on hold forever trying to troubleshoot. Very bad experience.
