First VF552XVT Vizio price (before I scraped by readers), I like the Vizio products. S'matter speaking, I sold 551 Vizio after four months of ownership, he hoped to get this device "to buy the latest and greatest." Unfortunately, apart from image quality, to resign in almost any other field.
The first remote control. Maybe I was spoiled by a well-designed remote control of the 551st A beautiful appearance, illuminated keys, good tactile feedback ... It was all on the 552 remote is not enough. Let's start from the outside: it seems literally like a prototype. Cheap black plastic with tiny black buttons, rubber ... I have a console 29 million DVD players that look better. And from a functional standpoint, he committed three cardinal sins of the poor design of the remote: 1) no backlight no buttons ... forget it, without burning the candles. Vizio VF552XVT buy the best price Kinda ruins Cinema 2) key provides tactile feedback, without fulfilling their duties ... This means that you press the keys to feeling Chnl paragraph under the finger, and you still watch the same channel that was. 3) tiny little buttons ... If you're not an elf, you big fingers. Its just bad design. I sincerely hope that Vizio has all their early adopters (like me) with a free replacement by a new design remote control if it can be (and they are restructuring, including this device has no place in the dial lighthouse).
In addition, the USB ports ... they do not work! He said that the right in the manual (even if no promotional materials Vizio). I loved the single USB port on my 551 ... Connect the player photos and music, and you have your own slideshow. Is it not on my new TV. Support says they will be future firmware update for the proper Em '... I'm not holding my breath.
something else that will be "fixed firmware update is the ability to disable the first Vizio price VF552XVT e-backlighting offers boring logo in the lower left corner of the lot below the screen (another menu function of my 551 could not, on the 552 can not). Here is a 6 cm long, 1 cm high that the list of features (1080p 240Hz LCD VIA and other things) with a bright white LED backlight lit again ... very annoying when in a dark environment. Before the "solution" is, I have a piece of black electrical tape covering her eyes, $ 2000 TV ... tedious.
When connecting newtwork, so I bought one sentence: At this stage, I would say for the benefit of the Vizio on my works. This gives them a method of "product update" purchased Vizio VF552XVT gives the best price CPU upgrade automatic firmware, and it's great. But it also gave them freedom of action to introduce something that is clearly not enough "cooked" on. Widgets "Pretty Woman", but (then) they have nothing that can not have a BluRay player loaded functionally with the network.
You may think these comments to keep the attention to detail, but in my head that I was expecting an upgrade "my 551st
However, it is still the best performance on the LCD. But if you are current owner of 551, there is no conclusive figure Vizio VF552XVT money just yet. I noticed this TV (552 in its current state) 3 lost 5 stars. If the Vizio solves these problems and brings up to replace the 551, it will be a solid fourth
Hopefully this helps the decision to buy (and get a new remote ... someone reading this Vizio?;)
