    5 out of 5 stars Stunning picture, worthwhile upgrade.   March 11, 2010
    DiG (South Jersey)
    Recently, my father's 62" Mitsubishi DLP TV stopped working and needed to be replaced. He didn't want alot of room taken up, but still wanted a good sized screen. Based on reviews at Amazon and other sites, I recommended the Vizio. I have two Sharp Aquos TVs and the quality difference is instantly notable. The picture is incredibly sharp and fluid, so much so that I will be replacing my own TVs which are now a few years old. Vizio has a winner on their hands.


    3 out of 5 stars Nice Tv, but power supply died after 2 months.   March 6, 2010

    Purchased on 1/28/10 and the TV power supply died on 3/5/10(per Vizio phone support). Parts on order and will be installed in 1 week.

    Loved the TV and everything was great. Came home, grabbed the remote and hit the on button, heard a click and then nothing.

    We shall see.




    5 out of 5 stars A great value.   March 1, 2010

    The picture is wonderful. It's very bright, excellent color and vivid. I own another lcd TV but I notice that this LED LCD has a much brighter and more vivid picture. Also there is very little glare reflected if you're sitting in the room where sunlight might be streaming in from a window. I am completely delighted with this TV considering its priced considerably lower than comparable LED sets.


    5 out of 5 stars Grate deal   February 28, 2010
