I received this set on a Friday and left it on after the initial set up until the following Sunday. Turned it off and came back 2 hours later and when I tried to turn it back on it all I had was the dreaded BSOD.(Black Screen of Death).
After going through all of Vizio's telephone technical services reps troubleshooting steps they sent out a technician to replace the set's mother board. not an auspicious beginning but it has worked fine since the repair.
I did not complain to amazon.com but I do feel I should have been credited for buying a refurbished set instead of the full price since replacing a motherboard after 2-1/2 days definitely makes it a refurbished set.
The picture and sound are excellent. I get my service from direcTV and upgraded to a High Definition receiver.
I intend to by a Vizio BluRay DVD Player in a couple more weeks.
I do think the internet ready feature could be easier to use. I have not been able to make a wireless connection yet but I use MAC addressing on my wireless router network and the User's manual says to disable MAC filtering.
I will have to hire some one to change to a compatible wireless network set up before I can receive wireless internet features. Home wireless networks with 5 devices are hard for an amateur like myself to configure.
I have a Linksys WRT610N Wireless Router which transmits on both "G" and "N" channels so it is compatible with one 4 year old Dell Laptop running XP Home edition, my wireless AIO Brother MFC665CW Printer and my Delll 17 inch Studio and 15.6 inch Sony Vaio laptops are new machines running Windows 7 Home Premium and wireless "N"
Vizio offers a good value product for a competitive price. I am glad I bought the LED back lighted HD TV Screen version instead of the fluorescent lamp lighted models. I believe it is more energy efficient.Get more detail about VIZIO XVT323SV 32-Inch Full HD 1080p LED LCD HDTV with VIA Internet Application, Black.
