VIZIO M550SV 55 Inch Class Edge Lit Razor LED LCD HDTV with VIZIO Internet Apps Reviews
| 60 of 63 people found the following review helpful:  Five stars...except for one major problem, By This review is from: VIZIO M550SV 55 Inch Class Edge Lit Razor LED LCD HDTV with VIZIO Internet Apps (Electronics)  I absolutely love this TV. It has a fantastic picture, lots of great apps, the remote is great, everything about it is fantastic - except for one thing: the TV is unwatchable. This TV has a major firmware flaw. When the TV encounters a significant scene change, particularly if the scene change involves a sudden, black image, the TV turns itself off. Pulling the power cord for a few seconds to reset the TV fixes it for a while - but the problem eventually returns. Watching a Blu-Ray disc is impossible - the TV turns itself off almost every 30 seconds or so. It happens when watching something via HDMI, it even happens (less frequently) when watching something on the internal built-in Netflix app. Obviously there is a firmware problem in the code that is decoding and displaying the image - I suspect when an exception happens in this code, the TV turns itself off. Doing a Google search for "M550SV" and "turns off" you can see that this is...

First off, the TV is very slim and the picture on it is very good. I am still futzing with the picture options but I think I have everything set the way I like. I have it connected via HDMI to a Comcast DVR and also an XBOX 360 (also via HDMI) and everything is good there. Also, I was able to get the unit very snug to the wall using a PYLE PSW598UT wall mount (also from Amazon). I have a recessed power outlet behind the TV and all of the cables are hidden and it looks really nice being such a thin TV and then having it right up against the wall. The TV was on a lot today and never shut itself off. I also got the TV to recognize my wireless router and I played with the apps a little bit. The remote is a bit clunky but I like the way it works. The only issue I have with it is the sound, which is okay but not great. I changed the audio settings and...

The picture and clarity are amazing (you'll be blown away if you watch a blu-ray disk on it.) It's priced at least 200 dollars less than other more known brand equivalent TVs.Stand assembly was easy (they even INCLUDE a phillips head screwdriver in case you don't have one). I'm still having fun playing with all the Internet Apps on the toolbar (new apps are sent to your TV automatically.) The remote control is cool, with a standard setup on one side, and a QWERTY keyboard on the other. One caution: The set I purchased had a power issue, it turned itself off occasionally. I called Vizio tech support (they're located in South Dakota). Within a week at no charge two men arrived at my door to pick up the defective TV and deliver and assemble my new one which has worked perfectly for the last month. I could not have been more impressed. Friends of mine who own Sony and Samsung TV's cant... Read more |
