VIZIO XVT3D554SV 55-inch 1080p 480Hz 3D LED HDTV with Full Array TruLED, Smart Dimming and VIZIO Internet Apps



The 2D image here is very strong, almost as loudly. Remember when you moved from SD to HD, and all kinds of TV suddenly seemed ... wrong? As if the sets were not simply counting HD? The picture here is so clear, so deep and so high contrast colors that can have that experience again. Sometimes it seems as if the images are 3D in 2D. Compared to my previous games, is very confusing.

I made some changes in the review of the issues and conclusions.

Calibration
As usual, the outside of the box settings tend to favor a look that could give you a tan. However, the default "movie" tones things a lot (and looks a lot like what I have, after hours of calibration, making it possible to save the effort and just make a quick selection, assuming All these things come from the same box). Technically, the output modes of the box all appear to be a bit like a "hot" side, then you need to cool the image a bit, if you want the values ​​of textbooks, but I think the picture a bit as hotter the better. Somehow (although I know better) seem more realistic.

Display Brightness
The screen is bright. That's right. I found that does not cause a problem during the day because of the inherent brightness of all lighting shrugs distributed sources reflected (not put me in direct sunlight, but not advisable for most games). And, of course, the set looks great in a dark room. However, if you sit down and have some lights in front of her at night, can be reflected. Some thoughts even give an effect, prismatic diffusion can be a distraction. No big deal. It does not take on the appearance of some screens mirror. However, it is visible and may need to rearrange your whole position or lighting.

Remote
The sliding keyboard remote control works reasonably well, but has a list of problems. First, it is not on, and a remote control that this complex is a real problem if you are using to replace the cable box or DVD remote control. You'll find lots of tiny buttons, many almost flush with the case, it can be done by touch. The slide-out alphanumeric keyboard is good to enter the information needed to access the Netflix or browse the clips, but a Tweet refers to the biggest thing you can write comfortably. The management of multiple devices at once clever and annoying. The remote device associated with each entry to the TV. So if you tell HDMI-1 is your satellite receiver and HDMI-2 is the blueray player that (after proper configuration) change the function of remote control to the appropriate device when you switch the input. However, getting control of a different device, without changing the input (if, for example, has all the devices running through a receiver) is clearly much less manipulated.

3D
At first, I was having problems with DirectTV to recognize this set as 3D and kept getting the "Your TV 3D is not consistent with this resolution." This seems to have been resolved, and now I can watch football matches and re-runs of old shoes waiting for more content in 3D, along with others. The 3D depth is good - equal to the apparent depth in the Samsung X500, which is the best I've ever seen. However, there is no apparent way to use 3D images in 2D, but a trick, a trick is very useful when you want to see "Rain of Meatballs" for the 20th time just to see some 3D.

USB
I have not seen any videos of the USB ports. I downloaded a clip in 3D on a flash drive unless it is presented as a test of Samsung. Although there are three USB ports, none of them seem to recognize the clip (or better, even to respond to insert the flash drive)

The 2D image quality
I'm still very taken with the 2D image. Even the neighbors were not impressed with Vizio previous games are excited about this. Deep blacks, nice color saturation (the initial setup is a bit on the warm side ... but I think I like a lot). The brightness and contrast a wide range and down to the "torch" that many stores seem to like it. If you think that looks good on the platform of MegaMart, looks even better on the wall at home.

I've raised my rating a star after two weeks of having the whole. I still love that comes with a remote better, but now everything is calibrated and connected to my system, I have much to complain about.

VIZIO M470NV 47-Inch 1080p LED LCD HDTV with VIZIO Internet Application, Black



OK, so this review is based on the property for a week. TV is very easy to configure and connect to our wireless network G (without benefit of having a wireless N network), it's all about the speed of your Internet and has nothing to do with the speed of your network because High Speed ​​Internet is the bottleneck, DSL will probably be slow, the VUDU Internet application told me to download movies in 1080p. The Bluetooth remote control that comes with the TV cable box (Comcast - Motorola), the remote is awesome! Net movie looks awesome! Internet features are very good. I hope that the company made Vizio Hulu you can tweak this TV. The picture looks amazing! However, there is better technology out there, and local dimming are supposed to give you a better picture, but is more expensive. While watching the home network (house hunters) I noticed a little bleeding from the upper left blue, not sure if he was killed that way or because of television, because I did not realize that the blue bleeding at any time. Black is great, but I do not I have twenty TV next to my other point that the TV has better blacks, this TV has a contrast ratio of 1:1,000,000 and am very happy with the image. I have not played much with the picture settings of the adjustments that come with the TV is great. I'm also happy with the sound, but no low ... speakers of your TV.

OK, the TV looks great in standard definition (I was very surprised because usually standard def does not look good with these new TV 1080p) and high definition. I just saw a preview on the internet with VUDU 1080 (did not want to spend the $ $ $ to see) and looked amazing on TV. I have a blue ray player because they do not like spending $ $ $ and I signed up for Netflix, so do not even watch a DVD to test. I have not tested the air HDTV, I live in New Hampshire, where we only have four channels and two of them suck ... lol.

Okay, now for the problems. While playing with the remote, somehow has the TV freezes within the first five hours of the property. We had to call Vizio (which became a three-tier technology) told me how to reset the firmware by pressing the power button for 30 seconds on TV, but first remove all cables (which took about 45 minutes). Since then, television has worked flawlessly. I thought that was a feature to update the firmware ... Did you know ... since it is able to connect to the Internet but could not find it :(... I do not know if this is good or bad. The TV has three USB ports not working, is supposed to work later, when Vizio correct firmware ( although I do not see how you can update it) ... so I've been reading online ... I'm not worried, but it would be a nice feature to be able to connect a USB flash drive and watch ... I personally prefer avi file Hulu and have to cancel my cable service (this is a dream for me ... lol)


OK ...
Now I have this TV for 4 months ... never stopped freezing, even after a firmware update (which is controlled by Vizio). Every day when you turn on the TV freezes ... mainly on the HD stations, but also has occurred when it was connected to my laptop and sometimes on SD channels, I can say is freezing. Above all when I turn the TV freezes when it happens that the power button for 30 seconds ... normally off but the Vizio flashes so you have to hold back for thirty seconds, then finally connects usually normal, but ... occasionally I had to double everything could be a case of five minutes.

I called Vizio to fix the problem, I have an appointment on Tuesday, two people are coming to my house, I say they are changing the motherboard and power supply. I hope this solves the problem.

My sister is 42 "LED TRUE and she is having problems with your remote control. I have a 32" Vizio ... 1080P bought a refurbished model three years ago for $ 350 and gave me a problem.

I still love the image quality and still buy a new Vizio TV ... so far ... lol. I am a masochist.

OK ... This is the third follow-up. From my telephone conversation with Vizo, it was decided to change the motherboard and power supply. This was about 2-3 weeks. Now the TV works fine. Not once frozen, it is much faster when you turn it on. What bothers me most is that I thought I loved this TV, even if they freeze so often and I ignored the problem for a long time ... as I said it would freeze every day or every other day and sometimes twice a day.
