Product Description

Internet-Ready Television

Internet-Ready Television

Internet-ready TVs use your broadband connection to deliver dynamic content, whether it's streaming video from Netflix, new music from Pandora, or a quick glance at today's weather forecast.

Although there is overlap, each manufacturer offers a unique bundle of free or paid services, including streaming video and music, social networking apps, online photo galleries, news and financial updates, weather info, sports scores, and a variety of other smartphone-like applications.

Manufacturers continue to add new content to their offerings, keeping customers current through firmware updates, and making a bit of research a prudent step in your buying decision.

Learn more about Internet TVs, how they work, what services are offered by different manufacturers, and exactly what you'll need to get started at our Internet TV 101 customer center.




3D Technology Checklist

This product is 3D-related. To help you get a great 3D experience, use the checklist below to ensure you have everything you need. 3D viewing requires:

A Display
First, you'll need a 3D-ready display--whether it's a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays have more processing power than standard 2D models for displaying 3D images in rapid succession.
A Source
Your display may be ready for 3D playback, but you'll still need a device to read 3D content. This can be a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3 system.
3D Content
3D content--the actual entertainment, in other words--will be played back using the source mentioned above, whether it's a 3D broadcast from your cable provider, a 3D Blu-ray Disc, or a 3D video game.
3D Glasses
For now, the vast majority of 3D HDTVs require glasses for 3D viewing. Many use powered "active shutter" glasses, others polarized "passive" glasses. You'll need one pair per viewer, and they'll have to be compatible with your display, whether they're the same brand, or a pair of "universal" glasses designed to work across brands.
HDMI Cable
To connect your source (such as a 3D Blu-ray Disc player) to your display, you'll need a high-speed HDMI cable. Cables with this designation feature bandwidth speeds up to 10.2 Gbps (gigabits per second), for carrying the 3D signal without any loss of quality.

If you want to get more information about 3D, shop our 3D products, watch videos, or interact with other customers, we invite you to visit 3D 101, our customer center about everything 3D.

    I bought this primarily to use as a computer monitor and it looks better than any monitor I have ever owned. I had originally planned to get a 42″ without 3D but I had a lucky night at the casino and when I saw this for $750 shipped and the 30 day return shipping I went for it.
    I also purchased the 3D glasses from Amazon for $99 even though I didn’t expect to be impressed by 3D. I was wrong; the 3D is incredible in the two movies I have watched (Thor and Alice in Wonderland). My son bought the new Batman game for the PS3 and the 3D is incredible in that game also.
    The picture quality and color is as good or better than my Sony 46″ XBR9 but the Vizio has better black levels. The Sony does have more adjustments but I was able to adjust the picture on the Vizio to my satisfaction.
    I watch Blu-Ray on a PS3 and TV from Dish network and they both look fantastic.
    The speakers on this TV sound much better than the 32″ Insignia I replaced.

    I have not had any issues with this TV turning off randomly as some other reviewers stated so I guess the auto firmware update cured that problem.

    I like this TV. I got tons of features for a good price. Picture quality is ok. I’m sure there are some models that are better from different manufacturer, but only if your willing to sell your first born for one. It’s much better than my box TV, so i’m not complaining. However, the sound could be better. I invested in surround sound speakers. That helps a lot. I’m in love with the Qwerty remote :) The only disappointment I have is the Picture in Picture feature. You can use the DVD and TV at the same time. But only the DVD and other devices can use picture in picture. To clarify, If I wanted the DVD movie in the Picture in Picture box with the regular TV show in the main screen, that’s fine. However, if i wanted it reversed, the regular TV program in the small box and the DVD in the main screen I cant it. That sucks because sometimes I want to watch the a move as my main entertainment on the main screen, but not miss the news. Vizio should have paid attention to this smallest of feature.

    I can’t say enough good things about this TV. The picture is phenomenal and everything I put on it from low resolution TV shows to 1080p video looks amazing. Recent updates have increased the App list to include Netflix, Amazon, Hulu Plus, Pandora, Vudu, TWiT, Revision 3, Blockbuster and others. Vudu even does 3D streaming! The speakers are pretty good for what they are – obviously they don’t compare to my home theater speakers, but when I don’t want to shake the walls the TV’s are fine. I wish the button presses were a little bit faster, responsiveness can seem slow (although volume is always instant). The keyboard remote is really cool, but I don’t ever really use it. The last update also enabled the side USB ports which, when used with the VIA Media app, can stream music and photos from an external source. A streaming video app that can hook up to my computer over WiFi is really all that’s missing from this TV now.

    Overall, for the money, this TV can’t be beat.

    The item is really well packaged as far as TVs go. I work with TV deliveries all day long and when I placed my on order I was a little concerned with the package making it and my TV being in one piece. There is a thick layer of styrofoam to protect yourTV. This made me extremely happy when I noticed that there was a little wear and tear from shipping on the external side of the package. Normally I would recommend that customers refuse these type but since they dropped it off and didn’t require a signature I opened it to inspect the TV.

    The TV was really easy to set up. Took less than 5min. The universal remote is even easier to set up so that other devices can be used on it. Love the built in guide that assists with the setup of devices. Also love that this TV can be used as a monitor for my computer. The tru motion is nice on this TV is very detailed. The color is nice as well. Works great with amazon prime and Netflix. the built in speakers are great for me because I deff have the TV on a 10 level lower difference from my old TV.

    The downside is that the TV doesn’t come with 3D glasses You also have to buy a hdmi cable to use the 3D. Both of these things I knew prior to my purchase so it doesn’t bother me but I would have liked to have had at least the glasses come with the TV.
