exactly what i was about to post…think i would drop a little more for the brand new one
From what I can tell this is the first time this has been offered in a non woot-off setting.
New Costco = $354.99
And Costco gives 2 years warranty.
Refurb only includes 90 days warranty, $45 SquareTrade for 1 yr. Better off @ Costco IMO
Bought my dad a 42" Vizio for his birthday a couple of years ago and it’s been fantastic!
Needed tech support once due to my failure to RTFM…and Vizio support was excellent!
Internet Apps are the single best feature…ability to stream Netflix, Amazon VOD etc. is very, very cool…if all my TVs could do that, I’d cut the cable cord tomorrow.
If this model has the Internet Apps, buy now!
I have one of these from a previous Woot. No complaints, works great. Would buy again.
I do not believe it has the apps.
I want a TV I can mount horizontally under a glass table to make a video-game or “netflix while eating table”.
Anyone know how to find out if this (or any other set) will be okay operated in a horizontal orientation?
I was able to pull up some literature.
Data Sheet (essentially woot’s specs page)
Alas, no internet connectivity. I have a 42" Vizio with WiFi in our living room, and I love it. I’ve been on the lookout for a bedroom TV, and this would be perfect - if I could plug it into the network.

Some have had problems with Vizio TVs purchased through woot. Apparently Vizio does not consider Woot an authorized dealer and does not warranty the product.

Need to clear up some things here…
These have a 90-day Woot warranty so customers should not contact Vizio for warranty service. The TVs in that sale had either an Amergence or Woot warranty. That’s why they were told that Woot wasn’t an authorized retailer by Vizio. For this sale, contact service@woot.com if you have any issues within the warranty period.
As to the shipping damages, it was the large TVs that had the issues with shipping damage. This is a smaller TV and is easier to ship. CS states that less than 5% of the TVs were received damaged. It’s just that those 5% are the ones to post.
Just received this exact model from the Vizio woot deal. It worked great for about 4 hours. then I went to turn it on the next day and it is frozen on the vizio screen. It won’t even turn off with the manual button, I have to unplug it. nothing against the brand, but I think I got a lemon. so be prepared to put in some extra work on the refurbs to eventually get what you pay for. I would go back and buy new from costco if I could…
Big Box review.
[MOD: Most of those reviews are for a different model number. Here’s the correct model. (TT)]
Thank you TT, I must’ve been sleepy last night!
I’ve had an earlier 37" version of this TV for almost 3 years now, almost no problems. I did buy the Vizio 4-year extended warranty at the time, so still covered there. No complaints about the TV at all.
Sounds like your warranty should apply perfectly, and Woot customer service is generally no problem to work with.
I bought the 47" Vizio about a year and a half ago. I am waiting for Woot to list a 60" or larger. C’mon, I want bigger!
That’s what she…
Oh, never mind.
If you can deal without the internet feature, this is a pretty decent deal. We bought a 42" Vizio and a 37" Panasonic. My bet is that this 37" Vizio has a much better picture than our Panasonic for less money but then the prices on all of these sets are still continually coming down.
And if you want to get really technical, folks with the Executive Costco membership will get an additional $7.08 off the TV with their reward check!
