Great deal with a great price

Shopped around quite a bit for this TV and narrowed it down to this one and a similar VIZIO that COSTCO carried. The included warranty from COSTCO was a lot better but the TV model received some bad reviews. TV seems to work and look great so far after only one week of use, time will tell.

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.

Very good quality for the price

I received this as a gift & I have loved it since the first time I turned it on. That being said, the black on screen can be a bit blotchy at times but overall an exceptional picture & solid features.

Great Tv with brillaint color.

We love the slimness of the Vizio. it has different features on it for watching movies-football game, regular tv..etc. you can make all kinds of adjustments and If I decide to connect my computer or audio system to it, I know it will sound good. Now we are going to purchase the surround sound system to as Vizio gives you a 10% discount on that purchase. We love everything about this Tv. I would recommend this to anyone that wants a TV that gives you alot of options to use with all your other equipment.

GREAT FIND, GO BUY ONE !

I purchased this Vizio after carefully reviewing other 42" models, I narrowed it down to the Vizio and a 42" LG ..., I am extremely happy I chose this model Vizio ..., I am satisfied completely. The picture quality is incredible, great sound which you wouldn't expect without adding a surround system. Please know that I always do plenty of research before I spend my hard earned money, so you can be sure if I am happy about this product you will be too. I highly recommend this TV ...., do yourself a favor and go purchase this TV now ..., you'll LOVE it !

Superb

I have been looking for a flat screen TV for some times. Initially, I wanted to purchase a 37 inch to my surprise the 42 inch was at an unbelievable price and I decided to purchase it from Wal-Mart online. The Set is great; I always buy an extended warranty on these types of purchases. I need to call Vizio to ask for help to use my email features. Vizio customer service has been extremely helpful so far. I love, love my TV.

Family loves this TV.

Love the option of choosing Netflix but without looking at directions we couldn't figure out how to get out of Netflix. The sound is outstanding. Kids feel they are in a movie theater. I highly recommend this TV and will buy another one for the family room.

Be prepared to upgrade your wireless route

I am going back to TV after 40 years with none in the house. This is State of the Art. I had to buy an expensive wireless router to make it work- so plan to spend an additional $200. The Router is for Home Theater/ high speed and will handle the broadband required to run internet TV on this. Also you will want a router that can have additional APPS which I got. I love HULU Plus as an application. I am paying to watch TV but HULU is only $7.99 a month. I am in a remote area and the best Tv is internet.You will need to have high speed service on your internet which costs more a month too. Plus I have had to buy a $49 HDMI cable to connect my computer to this TV,- there are cheaper cables but the failure to sync the sound and the video is handled by the better cable. The periferals needed to enjoy the technology packed into this TV was a hidden cost. The sales people at Walmart were useless. I spent hours and hours trying to figure out why my Tv was skipping and pausing all the time when watching HULU movies- it was my router. ( Which I just bought 3 months ago) and I thought it was a great high speed router. I had to replace my new router.I hope my trial and error learning helps you avoid the same frustrations. I will say the games are great on this. I had to get a wireless mouse and keyboard. But I can sit in bed play games, watch TV and even read the subtitles in movies without my glasses from across the room. This is the most complicated luxury item I have ever bought but working out all the tech problems is well worth it. Even the extra periferals. The router I bought is "Linksys EA3500 App-Enabled N750 Dual-Band Wireless-N Router with Gigabit and USB"

Great choice!

I had read a couple reviews prior to purchasing this tv about the sound however I have no issues with it, it is more than clear and loud enough than expected. The different "picture" settings are great depending on how bright you want your picture. I had no problem hooking it up to the wifi which is great since I primarily bought it to stream netflix so I really like the fact that the remote has a button dedicated to netfllix. The only downside was the reflective glare I got from the screen with my living lamp but that was easily solved by moving the lamp just a few feet to the left. I definitely recommend this tv.
