The image is superb and the sound is ok. Apps are great and since this TV is wirelessly connected to my network, I don't need to plug any more cables. The TV even updates its firmware by itself. I'm so happy with this TV that I want to buy another one for the bedroom. I’ve had this TV since January 2011 and I haven’t had any problems. The image is superb and the sound is ok.

I've had the TV since March of 2010 and, until recently, have had only a few minor problems/annoyances. Last week, however, I started getting a sort of "strobe" effect happening on the screen. The picture is still viewable, but it has various dark spots that move around on the screen very fast like a strobe light. It makes the TV very difficult to watch. The first time it happened I turned the TV off and on and then the entire bottom half of the screen went dark, but you can still see through it. Maybe dim is a better word than dark. Adjusting the contrast helps a bit, but the strobe effect is difficult to get past. I am upset about having to shop for a new TV this soon after laying out $1700. Not sure other brands won't have the same or other problems, but I think something that costs this much should last AT LEAST five years. Before this happened, I was happy with the TV.

Went through the tech support line and said I would get a call back in 24 to 48 hours for a service appointment. I will be calling the after 24 hours to stress to them that a broken tv should not have been shipped and that I am expecting to be moved to the top of the service list. I will update again once I get resolution on this 55" box that does not work. Just received my tv today, took it out of the box, plugged it in, and nothing.

I have this TV since August this year and the remote doesn't work at all now. I've asked for help but tech support hasn't given me a solution yet!

It looked like red glitter had been sprinkled on everything that was supposed to be dark. Now it is ok when I first turn it on but after a couple of minutes the red glitter is back. They offered to come out and repair it but I think I got a lemon and will return it to Costco under their 90 day return policy.

The Lighted VIZIO just flashes from white to orange and will not turn on. I tried unplugging and resetting the TV but to no avail. A tech from VIZIO called me and said that he works part-time for them at night, after his day job. He also said VIZIO is sending him the power & main circuit boards to replace. I can't believe I just bought a Large screen LED TV from a manufacturer that has a part time field service dept. This is something to concern yourself about when making a big ticket TV purchase. Maybe I can still return this POS before the 90 days is up. I'm not glad I bought mine! Jim I’ve had my VF552XVT for 60 days and it just took a dump.
