Vizio XVT553SV user reviews

Cons When you first turn on the TV after being off for an hour or more there is bad pixilation and no sound. It is better after 1 or 2 minutes. Occasionally, the screen freezes and the TV turns itself off. Tech Support is a joke. on December 23, 2010 by kahuna1974  | Read full review

Cons I have had this set for 3 weeks and have no problems or dislikes of any of it's features. It is exactly as advertised. I could not submit my opinion without filling in this box. So there you have it. on September 7, 2010 by BobHon777  | Read full review

Cons I purchased this set twice, and BOTH times they had dead pixels upon arrival. Vizio has opted to not do anything since it was only one pixel per set, but still, I'll never buy a Vizio product again. on December 21, 2010 by omg1337kkthx  | Read full review

Cons Bulky, Slide out keyboard on remote makes remote feel cheap, no backlighting on remote on November 27, 2010 by joshrea  | Read full review

Cons As others have reported, the TV I got freezes at least once an hour. Beyond that the remote died a rather quick death over two weeks. Speakers no matter if auto-volume was on would peak and then become near silent. Uneven backlight, center of screen. on November 19, 2010 by sadonomic  | Read full review

Cons Black level not as good as LG 8500, VT25 or G20 and David didn't mention the actual level he found during his test, does anyone know? 1080p/24 frame rate issue, Vizio does not even mention what it supports, 36? Not elegant looking due to speakers. on September 25, 2010 by alloos  | Read full review

Cons Advanced Picture settings (local dimming, lumina, smoothing, edge enhancement etc) do not save along with the standard Picture profiles (movie, sports, etc). Single source HDMI through the receiver users like me beware! on August 20, 2010 by btwf  | Read full review

Cons Vizio implies that this screen will support USB connections. It ONLY supports jump drives and it DOES NOT support ANY video formats via USB. on September 1, 2011 by Absoluterock  | Read full review

Cons -TV actually has a 'boot up' time of a few seconds (15'ish?) during which it loads it's operating system and other software (nothing significant but it may take a little getting used to) on December 25, 2010 by burgermerger  | Read full review
