Great TV

I bought this one to replace my old Olevia 37". The Walmart offer was the best bang for my buck at the time; I mounted it in a wall support and it looks great. Connection to my home Wi-Fi network was a breeze, and in lass than 5 minutes I was hooked with Amazon selecting a movie. I also bought the Vizio Skype camera, and in a flash I was talking with a friend in Canada. Vizio, maybe a future model with zoom function? Please :-) The remote control is very functional, I like it very much. The sound is average (as it is with all thin TV's), but has the necessary options to connect with my home audio equipment; this gives me a great sound. There are a couple of things that I do not like: a) The TV has a shiny finish that reflects light, especially at night; a matte finish would have been better. b) In my opinion the adjustments for the image, contrast, etc. is rudimentary. Vizio should have a tool in their GUI (like LG for example) to better help their customers in obtaining the best possible image. Maybe in a future update? Please note that the HDMI & USB ports are relatively close to the edge of the TV consider getting cables with 90 degree angle connector. Or 270 degree angle adapter. (The 90 degree angle adapter will not work, learn from my mistake)

very pleased overall

I ordered online, receiving my tv promptly. Set-up was simple. The internet features worked with no problem. The picture and sound are really great. I have used it for two weeks, so can not speak to long term use, but so far I love this set.

Excellent value

I have seen other LED LCD televisions that have a strange quality to the picture - like everything was filmed soap opera style. This TV does not have that issue. To be fair, I haven't hooked it up to the cable yet - I have only used Netflix and DVDs - so maybe that is the difference. It's got a great picture quality, easy set up, and the price is excellent.

It's exactly what I was looking for.

I've only had it for a little over a week but I am certainly satisfied. The picture quality, especially when viewing HD, is great. To my eyes all of the colors look natural using the factory settings. No dead or stuck pixels that I see. The sound is fine and there are options to adjust it if you feel the need to. Plenty of volume too. Assembly of the pedestal and making the connections to the set was a breeze; I had it up and running in less than an hour. The setup options are straightforward and the screen presentation of those choices is well laid out with good graphics. The only drawbacks that I feel are worthy of mention, and they are minor, are that the buttons on the remote are a bit smallish for my liking, the text size of the channel and program information shown on the screen when the 'INFO' button is pressed is also on the small side, and finally the pedestal seems as if it could be a bit sturdier. Even with those points noted I'm still very pleased with the new TV and am glad that I purchased this model from this company.

A Clear picture and a great value for the money

I purchased this television as my Sony Bravio started snapping. The television was easy to set up. It found my internet as soon as we turned it on, I put in my password and we were good to go. The picture on this is so much more sharper than my Sony, the sound is great too. I wish we had more options for the apps, but I am sure they will come along. We listen to Itune radio and the sound is just perfect. We have watched Netflix on it a few times and have never had any stops or distortion. Our wireless router is in the other end of the house, so it does pick up wireless really well.

Great Deal for a 42 inch TV

Was easy to set up. I chose to have it delivered to my house and it came within days of ordering it. It came with the mounting kit as a paccakge deal. I used it on my old TV stand and it is great. The Tv hooks to the internet so we get Nextflix with using any other sourse. Other features we are still learning.

Great TV but kind of slow Computer.

This works great as a TV. It is a smart TV and we love that we can hook it up with wireless internet and watch Netflix, I also listen to Pandora on it. It has other features that we do not use at this point and may not ever. It can be kind of obnoxious sometimes. It freezes up and we have to unplug it and plug it back in for it to work properly. Sometimes our internet speed is just fine and we can watch netflix on the laptop but on the TV it takes forever to load and play. So as far as a television it is awesome, sound is great and picture... for web features it is not very dependable, but those features are awesome when it's not having issues. We love the remote. I thought it would be monstrous and big but it's small to average-sized (smaller than some of our other remotes). It could be much better but we don't feel it's worth the hassle of unmounting it and sending it back.

Basically satisfied

Best thing (aside from bigger screen) is the energy savings. Replaced smaller LCD Vizio...that LCD set would really throw off a LOT of heat. This new LED TV can be on for hours and still says cool! Picture is good and sound is OK...sometimes it's difficult to make out what is being said in dialogue. My only beef is that I bought a SMART TV to have more options, but for whatever reason, this one won't hold it's connection to my WiFi signal. Haven't figured out yet if it's a problem w/the TV or w/my Internet provider. Don't have these issues with either my desktop or laptop computers. If given the choice, I WOULD purchase the same set again.

Very Disappointed

I liked the TV in general, it's very thin and mounts on the wall very well...but of 4 HDMI ports, number 1 worked and 2 through 4 did not. So I took it back to WalMart for refund...now I am shopping again.
