VF551XVT VIZIO VIZIO is evidence that television just can not produce high value, but those high-performance as well. Currently, the lowest LED-backlit LCD TV with local dimming capability, the VF551XVT offers similar performance to a TV name brands that can sell up to twice the price.
“The set of 240 SPS” treatment is not “real” 240 Hz, but it is actually processing 120 Hz with a scanning backlight to effectively obtain 240 “scene” per second. The function does not reduce motion blur on things like sports and TV shows live, but we found that added a video-like look unnatural to the movies, not unlike other brands smoothing ‘movement / technology interpolation movement. In addition, the display is not aligned is fairly typical for LCD televisions, turning to bluish gray and blacks in general to lose color saturation when viewed at an angle greater than about 90 degrees.
But read axis (straight) or slightly off-axis, the TV produces exceptional black levels for an LCD TV. Dark films on Blu-ray, as “Blade Runner” and “The Dark Knight” black ink produced images with very good shadow detail and delineation clear images without haloing evident. The colors are also accurate, with good flesh tones when the set is calibrated correctly.
The VF551XVT lacks any kind of Internet streaming or IPTV functionality – this will come early next year VF552XVT. It ‘also significantly more often the last LED-backlit TVs Samsung and LG, but if you are looking for a big flat panel LCD TV with excellent contrast, it is hard to go wrong with the vice.
A complete revision of VF551XVT is available on the Big Picture Big Sound (dot com).

I have studied many high-end LCD TV blacklit before I decided to buy the 55 inch VIZIO VF551XVT truLED 240 Hz HDTV SPS. This particular model has the same quality and features found in current high-end models LG and Samsung, but at almost half the price.
Service carrier who delivered the TV was excellent. They brought the TV from the delivery truck to my house and unpacked and put in my living room for me. They also took away the packing materials when they left.
I connected my XBox, Blu-Ray DVD Player, Amplifier, and HD Cable Box to your TV fairly easily. The instructions that came with the TV were very clear and easy to understand. I was able to program the remote that comes with this TV to operate my cable box, amplifier and DVD player in a short time with minimal effort. I just followed the instructions in the manual.
I am very happy with this TV. The picture is impressive, the features are great, the quality is excellent and does not cost a fortune. I give it five stars.

I’ve been waiting for this TV to become my local COSTCO.
He picked up on Saturday, November 28.
This replaces a high-end Sony units of 46 inches.
The best video I’ve ever seen to date.
Only glitch so far there is only 1 “component input on the back”, but this should not be a problem because most new gear is HDMI (4)!
The audio is just poor with the construction of speakers, but using the
built in speakers?
Amazon, you need to check the prices of competitions and warranty. (I am a customer AMAZON long time).
