I've had this unit for about 3 weeks and everyone who has seen it is in awe....
My daughter has even gone so far as to state that she wants to replace all the tv's
because now they look crappy by comparison....which is true....
About the VIA (Vizio Internet Apps) ...after establishing that you have a link
with your brodband, reset the internet apps to the factory default then they will

streaming content....if its slow or clunky its because your imternet connection is too slow.
I really like this TV ...so far the only downside is the sound like all lcd 's, while
acceptable, it needs help.....i got a vizio soundbar and that helps a great deal...i also paired
it with an old polk PSW10 i had and now it sounds great....this is my first soundbar so
i can't really compare it to any others.....hope this helps !!!

Not only does this TV look ginormous in my small living room, but the picture is fantastic. Be careful watching movies or shows in XHD as it's almost too real and looks kinda weird. When I watched Netflix though this did not happen as it was just in your standard 1080p format with no "extras". All in all for the price of this TV you can't go wrong. This is my first TV with any kind of apps on it, and I freakin love it! The remote is a little janky but it does work. was kinda hoping they would throw in a "qwerty" remote with this TV, but then that would probably jack the price up a bit. If you're on any sort of budget then this TV is for you!

UPDATE (2/29/2012) - I figured I would update this review as I have gotten a few helpful votes (much appreciated). This TV is still running great, and still... Read more

Delivered as promised, set up as promised. Quality of this item, Vizio 55", is incredible. This is our 4th Vizio--we hardly even look at another. Never had a problem with any of them. But I digress. This seller was perfect.
