New tv for the holidays - great set, especially for the price.
October 19, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
These are first day impressions. Haven't spent too much time with this
set. I was upgrading from a 6 year old 42" Hitachi Plasma set. The
Hitatchi still looked pretty great, but I've been convinced for months,
obsessing over waiting for the right deal. I was sure that I needed an
LG or a Samsung; the two top dogs (imo) with a great selection of
mid-high range sets within my budget ($1500) There were plenty of
similar prices for quality sets; anything 55" + TV set within the last
year, some nice frills to boot was on the table.
The timing of this set's release was just too perfect. I wasn't even considering a vizio, but all the sets by Samsung and LG are already 6+months behind). And Vizio deserves credit for really stepping it up. I saw the review on cnet and gizmodo and was quickly sold. It looks and feels like a spiffy new high-end television. Also going from 42" to 60" is more impressive than it may sound. The set itself also damn thin and not too heavy. Especially compared to the smaller hitachi.
It's worth repeating, I had a negative connotation with Vizio as low end, bargain TV's from walmart. But I'm truly impressed with the feature set.... loads of inputs, wi-fi capabilities, netflix and amazon prime apps (total snap to set it all up)... i'm still discovering more eatures as I play with it. As soon as I threw the set on I fired up the on the Step Brothers blu-ray it was noticably crisper than my old 1080i set.
Now I have some minor nitpicking to do. Not dealbreakers, but just thoughts. For one, he stand does not swivel. My Hitachi had this swiveling stand, and it was a great feature depending on how many people were viewing. Also I hate the smooth motion settings. It just looks strange to me, like everything turns into a daytime soap. Thankfully I can turn it off. I can see it being nice for sports games, but movies and most tv shows throw me off with the movement. My buddy was saying he likes it better, so I guess that's gonna be a personal thing. I keep it set off. Also, the remote is not backlit. For all those buttons on there, it would have been great to make it easy on the eyes when all the lights are out.
Menus themselves are rather deep with settings and features, yet intuitive to get to the simple stuff. I love that you can browse amazon prime on the sidebar without entering an app. This means whatever else you're watching changes aspect ratio and continutes to play, while you freely browse new content. I was a little overwhelmed with the amount of features and settings, but it's not difficult to change some basic picture settings and keep it simple.
There's no other set at this price point, this solid, this new and with so many features. It's worth looking at, and I predict it will be a big seller in the holidays.
I'll update my review again as I play around more. Still figuring stuff out.
I can't believe I spent over $2300 on a 42" plasma and only 5-6 years later, sets like these are not only better but like half price. Also i was jazzed this tv was 30% under my budget. This set is a steal for $1000. Great timing Vizio.

one week later - still happy as can be. no buyers remorse. several friends are considering purchasing the same exact set. i am convinced this product will keep me happy years down the road.
some questions to other ppl who bought this set (sound off in the comments) :
- any thoughts on using a soundbar? gizmodo [...] just ran an article on top four under $300 and the top choice was a vizio soundbar for $225... worth it? speakers are pretty good as is, just want psuedo surround... i still have a sony receiver and 5 pc speaker with 5.1 dolby setup but honestly it's just a little cumbersome these days.
- any previous vizio owners; do they update the built in apps often? would love to have HBO Go on here ;)
- what defines HD on the netflix streaming? this might just be off topic, as it's probably relative to the netflix app more than the set... it looks pretty good, but i definitely see some rough pixels here and there. pressing info just says "XHD"
- is there a way to lock the settings? my son keeps on turning real motion to mess with me and it's the worst.

Best 60 inch LED for the price
October 14, 2012
By Kris
I had been patiently waiting for this TV to become available via
Amazon, mainly because of the unbelievably low price and good review
given on CNET, but got tired of waiting and ended up purchasing this TV
on 10/13 from Costco. They had just gotten a shipment in that day and
once I saw it in the store, I knew I needed to get it. CNET had
mentioned that the off angle viewing was not as good on this set when
compared to LEDs from other manufacturers, but I haven't had any
problems viewing this TV even from extreme angles. The TV was not quite
as bright as the LG next to it at the store, but I believe this was
mainly due to the matte finish of the screen. The LG had a glossy
screen which made the picture very bright, but it also reflected
literally everything behind it. My TV is now set up in a very sunny
living room and the glare is minimal. Much better than the 37 inch
Sharp LCD it replaced. For those looking for a basement TV, a glossy TV
or a plasma might be the way to go, but for me, the matte finish was
the best option. The TV has an extremely thin bezel which I really
appreciated because it allowed me to get a 60 inch screen size out of a
TV that takes up the same space as many 55 inch units. Out of the box,
the colors were pretty good, but I am still hoping to find detailed
color settings posted by CNET or elsewhere. If anyone has a good link,
please share :) The smart features work reasonably well. Amazon Prime
and Netflix both ran just fine. My only complaint so far is with the
Amazon Prime interface. It is very paired down when compared to the
version offered over my PS3 and it took a long time to browse titles.
If you know what movie you want though, you can simply use the search
function. So far, I am completely satisfied with this set and for
anyone debating between a $1000 LG or Samsung 55 inch and this 60 inch
Vizio, I would highly suggest getting the Vizio. I was really surprised
at how much larger the screen size was when compared to the 55s next to
it at the store and the sharpness and clarity of the picture was
comparable to the LGs and Samsungs costing several hundred more. Costco
is currently selling this set for $979, so hopefully Amazon will price
match once it gets in stock.

I found detailed picture settings for this TV posted by katzmaier on CNET and thought would I pass it along for others to try. Shutting off the back light control and ambient light sensor features definitely brightened up the picture.
