I’ve had one of these for about a year no and it’s been a pretty good TV. I definitely buy the same set if I had to do it over again.
You could probably have left that last bit off the description. Bad timing.
Not that I was scared or anything clears throat but you really shouldn’t be posting such scary images this close to bed time. You might give some of the ahem more cowardly wooters nightmares.
Now where the heck is my nightlight.
Wow, no kidding! :-/
Say what you want about Vizio, I’ve had my 32" Vizio LCD for almost 7 years now and it still works like a champ, even after thousands of hours of video game play and who knows how many reruns of Mythbusters.
Dear woot!, while I do appreciate your not putting creepy mannequin head on screen here, I am not sure that creepy-person-standing-in-rain-who-I-feel-is-about-to-pull-some-freaky-Ring-move-and-jerkily-approach-my-screen-and-crawl-through-it is much of an improvement. Thanks for haunting my dreams. I’ll be right bac-- waaaaaaaaaaait a minute. No, I think I’ll just sit here in this well-lit room until the end of the movie, thanks.
Yours,
kalira

Apologies. The write-up was written a few days ago before the incident in CO. The timing is unfortunate but in no way was it intentional or slighting the gravity of the incident.
Other than the 60Hz refresh this is a decent TV. I have a Vizio 42" 3D w/120Hz and it’s a great set.
This one looks good, and for this price it can’t be beat.
Now I wish that I didn’t get the 37 inch Vizio for a week or 2 ago.
Be careful of Vizios. The money you save here, you might as well go ahead and spend on a multimeter, soldering iron, and some spare capacitors.
So what did the last part say? It seems it has been edited.
I have this exact TV, save for a higher refresh rate. I’ve got nothing but good things to say about it. Plus, my whole family has had lots of experiences with Vizio and they’ve all been positive. Maybe we’ve just been lucky, but Vizios seem to be well made and perform well, despite what some people say.
Like most Vizio TVs, this one is a great choice if you want a big TV without spending a lot of money.
I have a similar model, and I’ve been quite happy with it over the past two years. The contrast is a bit lacking, but easily on par with TVs in the same price range. My only other complaint is the remote…it sometimes gets confused on which button I’m pressing (possessed perhaps?).
PS: I can’t speak on the refurbishness though.
It says “USB: JPG” - I’m assuming it will only handle a memory stick for jpg files. What I’d like to know is does it do a slide slow or is there a slide slow feature?
I’m opening up my first business and would like to use these for digital menus which I would make in JPG and have it automatically scrolling through different things.
Tempted to get this. However it’s >$50 more than the last 42" they had… (which is sitting in the corner of my room with a broken screen, silly FedEx shipping) and the response time is worse.
Hmmm…
Does this thing have Vizio internet apps? If so, then it’s coming home with me.
I have almost exactly the same model. The only difference is that mine is 120hz. It has been working great for more than 2 years now!
Outside of Woot’s 90 day warranty, what is covered by Vizio for refurbished items? If the tv stops working in 91 days, am I out of luck or can I get it fixed?
