 Great so Far May 07, 2010
Sound is much better than expected.
Picture is fine for me.
We've had the set for about 6 weeks. So far so good.
I will however NEVER buy from Dell again. They offered the same set for $80 less before mine was shipped and would not match/lower my price. In this day and age they don't get customer service at all. I'll stick with Amazon or Sears in the future.

 Buy at your own risk. Apr 25, 2010
24 days after I purchased this TV, 21 days after I first turned it on, it died. No picture. Just sound. 21 DAYS!
It's been 13 days since it died. I've called Vizio customer service 6 times, spoken to 7 customer service reps, 2 supervisors, repeatedly promised that I'd have a replacement within 7-10 days, also been promised by 4 of those people that I would receive a call. What do I have? A broken piece of junk still hanging on my wall. Vizio can't get a replacement for me. Can't tell me when they'll have one. No one will return my calls.
If you do a lot of research, you'll find that Vizio is having a lot of problems with the main board of their TVs. They generally last about a year then die. Too bad so sad. Buy a new TV.
This is my last Vizio. I've been doing my best to get my story out. Don't trust the reviews on Vizio's website either. They're filtering out negative reviews!! I tried to post one last week. Still hasn't shown up. It has to go through a moderator. They're obviously trying to filter negative reviews and opinions.
Too bad they don't seem to understand word of mouth advertising will hurt them in the long run.

Great Screen So-So Features Mar 10, 2010
I bought this TV to move up from a 37". I wanted 1080p capability and 120hz which I hoped would help with motion blur. Taking it out of the box I noticed it was much lighter than my older TV, good I suppose. The 'Java' finish is nice but not terribly noticeable, I was hoping it would stand out more for as much as they talked it up. The next thing I noticed was how incredibly chintzy the stand was. My old Olevia had a stand that was made out of solid tubular steel and weighs about 20-lbs. The Vizio stand is made out of the cheapest thinest steel China can make, and is a pain to attach as well. If the TV weren't so light, I wouldn't trust it, the stand just does not feel sturdy.
Set-up was incredibly easy, just plug and play, the on screen menu is as intuitive as it gets and I was playing around with the settings in no time. The problem, however, is that allot of those settings and extra features just aren't all the great. First there is the SRS TruSurround HD which accomplishes nothing other than making everything sound really echoed and weird, strike one. Then the SRS TruVolume, which is supposed to level out the volume levels in TV commercials and action movies, I have had it on and off a bunch of times, I really can't tell the difference, strike two. Lastly the Smooth Motion feature, which I don't really understand, it comes factory set to medium, but can easy be turned off, which you will be doing quickly if you buy this set. Essential what it does is increase the frame rate of whatever you're viewing, it works just fine but I can't understand exactly why anyone would want to use it. Seems like a pointless feature, but at least it does what it claims, strike two and a half?
Now to the screen itself. Fortunately this is the redeeming value of the set, value being the key word. I really doubt you could get a better quality screen for twice as much money. The blacks are black, the colors are vibrant. The refresh rate is fast, movement is crisp. It really is a beautiful picture. The image on the screen will be as sharp and clear as whatever video source you put in. If your interested in this product as a high-def monitor, you will not be disappointed. As a high-feature TV however, it falls just a bit short. Three stars.

BUYER BEWARE Feb 05, 2010
Bought this TV a little more than 1 year ago. During that time, the picture was beautiful, sound great and I would have definitely given it a 5 star recommendation....that is until the TV was about 1 year and 1 week old when it began showing red flashing pixels all over the screen. The good news...I had a 2 year extended warranty...the bad news...after 2 service calls (1 resulting in no TV for over a week) the only issue being resolved is I am getting my money back.
If you buy this TV, be sure to have an extended warranty since you will probably wind up having to return it.

Consumer Reports Says: Buy HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (July 2010) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2009 and June 2010. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its July 2010 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com came closest.
