Exceptional value

This is my second Vizio set. We were so happy with our first set, Vizio was always a contender when we looked for a second HDTV. This set comes with picture in picture, which was a requirement for me. Visio appear to be the only manufacturer that supplies this option in sets in the price range. We are very happy with our selection. And of course the fact that the set comes with one year "in home" warranty makes this a hands down winner! Excellent picture, great contrast. I definitely recommend this tv.
Excellent TV

This is the second Vizio LCD TV that I have purchased. Once I find a product that I like I always look to that manufacturer whenever I have another purchase need.

I recently finished my basement and added a family room to my home. I already had a Vizio 37" LCD TV in my living room for close to a year and absolutely loved the quality, especially for the price. At that time I had read an article that Vizio was going to be the Sony of the future. After watching my two TV's I have no doubt they will someday rise to that level.

I didn't have HD service with my first TV, but added it after I bought my 42" and like it even more. The picture quality seems to be as good as any other I see in the stores. I highly recommend to anyone that they should save their money and buy one from Vizio instead of buying one of the expensive brands.
Great deal bought it refurbished!!

Well let me start off by telling you that I have spent over a month doing research and going to retail stores comparing different models and brands before deciding on this one. I will admit I am on a budget so that did play a role in my decision.
After much debate I decided to go with the refurbished model but was nervous that it would have some problem but WOW it looks and works perfect and saved a bunch!!
I am using it in my bedroom at a distance of about 13 feet away and only using standard definition hooked up and I will tell you the picture is great!! My dad came over and swore that it was hooked up to hi def. My tv in the living room is hooked up to hi def and looks about the same. Yes I did play with all the settings to get the picture to look that good.
The sound on this tv puts my 62 inch Samsung to shame. The sound is fantastic on this and has many adjustments.
There is plenty of inputs and outputs on this one. 4 HDMI wow!!
Overall I really love this set and wish I had bought Vizio for my living room instead of Samsung but of well.
Yes I would for sure recommend this to anyone. The picture and quality is up there with the best of them and you will save big too!!
Great TV For the Price

I bought this TV from TigerDirect as a refurb a couple weeks ago and I'm really glad that I did. I wasn't in the market for a buying a TV for a few months but I couldn't pass up the deal ($550). I have a 1080P upscaling DVD player hooked up to it and it looks great although I do wish I would have gotten a Blu-Ray player. I currently do not have TV hooked up to the TV because I am moving out soon but I do watch
[...] shows (480I) through it and it looks great with the DVI to HDMI cable from my computer. The setup is very easy and it's not hard to get a great picture after messing around with setting a little bit. The default settings were a little off for my taste (a little too much color and contrast.) The speakers on the TV sound great and do not distort until extremely high volumes. I have yet to really find something about this TV that I do not like. I had always heard good things about Vizios and this TV reaffirmed that for me. I would highly recommend this TV, especially for the outrageously low price.
Better than than the VU - Tuner Tips

This is a better than average set. The feature set is excellent 4xHDMI etc.
Compared to the VU42 (which we had also), this has a nicer picture and much more control through the menus for Picture and Sound tweaking.

The HDMI worked perfectly with our laptops and good screen controls allows you to adjust margins to use the full screen.

I've had many HD sets over the years, for the money this is a good deal.

Tuner Tip: In our area, Cable doesn't scramble many digital channels, but many are just sound, duplicates or unwanted. This set seems to have a cap of 500+ channels, because while we could tune in more channels, The Channel skip did not show them. But this set has "Partial channel search", which allowed us to manually seek ranges of channels and customize the channels the way we wanted. The VU did not have this and forced us to flip through 50 or so "bad" channels with no way to remove them.
