I ordered the LG 60PM6700 on Friday March 11th, with Free Supersaver Shipping, and it was already delivered this evening Wednesday March 16. That was fast! Two guys brought it in, set it up, and made sure everything was as it should be before I signed for it. I've only had it for about 6 hours, so I'll give my initial impression, then update it in a few days after having more experience with the set.I had previously purchased a Panasonic TC-P60S30 from WalMart for a really good price, but in the end, I was not happy with its extremely dark picture and overall substandard picture quality, so I returned it.Right off the bat this LG blows away the picture quality of the Panasonic model I had returned. Granted, this one cost me about $300 more, but I can tell you it's already worth it. So far I've tweaked the settings to where I like the color, brightness, contrast, and black levels. I used the Picture Wizard II, but then did a few more minor tweaks to suit my taste, which tends to lean towards a brighter picture. I did have an inexpensive Element Electronics 42" LCD sitting here while I was shopping for a replacement. I can say, the LG doesn't have quite the bright picture and vivid colors the smaller LCD has, but it does completely blow away the 60" Panasonic plasma I had returned. From what I've experienced, heard, and read, Plasma's just don't quite have the bright brilliant pop that LCD TV's do, but this LG looks pretty darn awesome. My tastes run towards a brighter picture, so I'm pretty picky when it comes to getting the settings I want from a TV. So far, I find this LG very pleasing. As far as the bright vivid picture I'm looking for, this set gets me where I want to be.So far, I've viewed some HD Dish Network content (Restaurant Impossible on the Food Network), and it looked great. I then put on Rango through Netflix over the built in WIFI. The jury is still out on that since I'm not sure if my WIFI isn't the best, or the TV's WIFI isn't the greatest, but WIFI over my Panasonic BluRay player seems to look fine. I then connected a LAN cable to the TV and went back to viewing Rango through Netflix, and it looks great; almost DVD quality. I'll report back about the WIFI once I figure out if it's my WIFI network or if the TV's WIFI connection isn't the greatest.Next I watched part of a DVD I burned to back up one of my movies (a DVD copy of a DVD movie) through my Panasonic DMP BDT210 BluRay player. The picture was crisp and clear, but I noticed a lot of motion judder. Even messing with the de-judder setting didn't help. It may just be my copy of the movie, but a couple of times I had previously watched it on the LCD I had and didn't notice the judder at all, so I'll have to watch a few more of my copied movies and report back.I now have a store bought DVD of Alice in Wonderland playing, and it looks absolutely amazing, and with no motion judder at all. I still have to dig out a few of my BluRay disks to check that out, but I can't imagine even a Blue Ray looking much better than the standard DVD already looks. My family room is huge, so I'm sitting about 15 feet away from the TV, and I can count the individual hairs on Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter wig.I took advantage of the free two pair of 3D glasses being offered through Amazon when purchasing the LG set, but they have not arrived yet. I should have them in a day or two, so I'll have to wait to report about the 3D experience.I have noticed one design flaw in the TV stand. Due to the glossy black half inch beveled angle of the front of the stand, it tends to reflect brighter scenes, which is a bit distracting. It's a minor flaw, but if I decide to keep this set, I'll likely paint that thin strip of the stand with some flat black spray paint or use some flat black tape to cover it and eliminate the reflection. Of course if you mount this set on the wall, then this won't be an issue at all. (Update 6/10/2012 - As it turns out, this reflection from the stand is really not an issue. I rarely even notice it at all.)So far I'm very pleased with the set. As I said, I'll report back in a few days.5/20/2012 UpdateIt's now been 4 full days of owning the LG 60PM6700 and thus far it has surpassed my expectations. The picture quality, color, brightness, and black levels, etc... ALL AMAZING! I've been through three other large screen TV's. Let's just say I'm pretty picky when it comes to being satisfied with a television. My first was a 50" Samsung I had for exactly 4 years, and it died. I purchased a LG 55LW6500 LED 3D TV, which I sent back due to horribly intolerable motion blur and judder. I then purchased a 60" Panasonic TC-P60S30, which had an incredibly dark picture and overall substandard picture quality. That one went back after trying to live with it for nearly 3 months. I also own two 40" LCD TV's which are in our bedrooms. Both of the LCDs have great picture quality. Until now, the best of all of them was definitely the Samsung plasma I had, but this new LG blows them all away.The picture detail of the LG 60PM6700 is crystal clear. The colors are awesome, the brightness is great, and the black levels are very good. I have some coppied DVDs that I burned to back up some of my favorite movies. Often the picture quality from the copied DVDs is far less than that of the originals. This TV converts the signal to a higher definition and makes even my worst copies of DVDs look pretty amazing; much better than on any TV I've ever viewed them. The 3D is pretty cool, especially the 2D to 3D conversion. It's pretty cool watching sports (I really only religiously follow drag racing) and flipping through family photos converted to 3D. This TV has so many bells and whistles. I love the apps. The web browser is a bit cumbersome, but with some practice I can see it getting easier. The smart phone app pretty much replaces the Magic Remote, so no real need to purchase that if you have an iPhone or Android.I have yet to see a perfect television. In my opinion, as of yet, they just don't exist. It seems every set has its flaws. What one excels at in one area, has its shortcomings in other areas. I don't believe in rating a TV 5 stars if it has flaws, no matter how pleased I am. It doesn't leave anywhere to go with the rating when you do find that "perfect TV," so it just dilutes the whole rating system. This is why I give this TV 4 stars and not 5.So here are the flaws:*There is some noticeable ghosting on moving objects; some content worse than others.*I've noticed some slight motion judder on occasions, and some motion blur; again only on occasions.*That super thin frame doesn't remain as thin when watching the TV. LG has added an additional black boarder around the actual picture, when then increases the total frame width to about an inch when the TV is turned on. I wish they had not done that because one of the beautiful features about the TV's design is that very thin half inch frame, but even with the addition of about another half in when the set is on, it's still a very thin frame, and very attractive design. Odd that they did that though because it's misleading to claim a super thin frame, if it's only super thin when the set is turned off.*The Active 3D isn't the greatest to watch is even a moderately lit room like mine. In the light of the room your peripheral vision will pick up the flickering of the glasses, when can be a bit distracting, or for some, even annoying. (In a dim setting, you can't see it, so it's not an issue at all, and the 3D looks great. The 3D has some nice adjustment features which does allow the viewer to tweak the 3D effect to their comfort level, and the glasses are very lightweight.)So, as of day 4, I'm amazed at the picture quality, and all this set has to offer. If my opinion changes, I'll surely update my review.Update 6/10/2012I've now owned this television for exactly a month, and I have to say, this is the best television I've ever owned. In my opinion, those rating this TV 2 stars have not compared it in their home to other 60" televisions; but I have. I also believe they aren't realizing that all TVs have their flaws in some area or another. I've compared a lot of sets and I can say with confidence, there simply is no perfect television on the market, and the larger TV, the more magnified the flaws. I have compared the LG 60PM6700 to other 60" televisions I've owned, and to other's I have not owned, and can safely say this TV blows the others away; especially for the money. I originally purchased the television for $1,499 and since then Amazon has lowered the price to $1,299 I called customer service and they promptly refunded me the difference. Trust me when I say, for the money, even at $1,499 you can't go wrong with this television. The picture quality, along with all its bells and whistles, blows away much more expensive TVs that make all sorts of grand claims.

I have to agree with one of the other reviewers. I had the tv for about a week before the software asked to update. I wish I had known before I allowed it to update, because the picture was pretty good up until that point (I hadn't done a lot of picture adjustments yet), but once the software updated, I got the same effects as the other reviewer. Ghosting motion whenever anything moves somewhat quickly. Soap opera effect on some channels - it seems to be more pronounced on certain channels. The blurry motion, or "ghosting", happens all the time, no matter the quality of the input source, however the higher quality channels definitely look much better than the lower quality channels. It looks like a funhouse mirror effect around a face or body whenever the motion is quick or they walk in front of a fence or other object that has a criss-cross pattern. I too contacted LG via email and a phone call. They said they were aware of the problem caused by the firmware update & their engineers are working on fixing it. However, they made it sound like it would be done in a couple of days. It's been just over a month, and no updates yet. I'm a bit frustrated because, as it is, the tv is worse than my cheap 40" Dynex LCD flat-screen with a 60hz refresh rate, and I bought the plasma thinking that with the 600hz refresh rate, I would never have to see any blurred motion again.I have since made several, and I mean several, adjustments to the settings to try and minimize the problem. So far, the best I've found is with the Noise Reduction set to "high", and the TruMotion set on "user" and the effect all the way up to 10. This doesn't always seem to be the best set-up, but overall, it did help. I still play with the settings when I get irritated with the ghosting, but it pretty much just frustrates me more.I didn't return the tv, because I am holding out hope that LG will get the problem fixed soon, and because I put another $100 into 2 more pairs of 3D glasses (got 2 pairs free) that I didn't want to have to return. If LG does get the software problem fixed, I would definitely give the tv 5 stars. The problem is, how long will that take?On a side note, the 2D to 3D conversion is a pretty cool function to have. It makes any show you want into a 3D picture. As I don't have a 3D Blu Ray player yet, I can't compare to what a real 3D movie would look like, but for now, it's a pretty cool option on the tv.One other negative - no Amazon Instant Video in the internet apps. The LG representative replied via email that he would put in a "request to the factory" to let them know that I had asked that this app be added, but who knows how far that will actually go. I have a Roku box I can use for access to Amazon content, but it would be really nice not to have to plug it into this tv just to watch my Amazon movies, since I already have the Roku hooked to a different tv.UPDATE 7-28-2012A couple of days ago I finally found a new firmware update available. I downloaded the newest firmware, and voila, the ghosting is gone...so is the soap opera effect. I have now given the tv 5 stars, as it really does have a beautiful picture. I thought about giving it 4 stars for not having Amazon Instant Video as part of the internet apps, and because it took so long for LG to update the firmware, but I bought the tv knowing that the Amazon content wasn't there. Just remember to go back into your picture settings and turn off (or down) the Noise Reduction and turn off the TruMotion controls. This will now make your picture look much better during scenes with fast motion.P.S. Only a few days before this update came through, I found that I could set the tv on the "game" setting, and this took away most of the problems described above. Too bad I wasn't smart enough to try this way earlier - I had done just about everything else.UPDATE 2-9-2013The tv still has a beautiful picture, and I like it a lot, but a few months ago, the picture started to get "jerky" when watching anything through the tv's Netflix app. I wrote an email to LG, but got their standard "sorry about your problem" non-answer and asked that I call customer service for more help. Since I also have Netflix through my blu-ray player, I just stopped using the tv's app for a while. In December, I decided to check it out again, and the tv's Netflix app was still doing the same thing - picture would get very jerky after only a few minutes, and then it would come and go. I called their customer service, and they had me go into the tv menu and reset the apps using the "Initialization of Premium" menu choice. This didn't help. They told me if this didn't work to call back, and I'd probably need to have a technician look at it. I only have a couple months of warranty left, but I'm not sure I want someone to tear my tv apart for this, so I haven't yet called back. Although it does bug me that it doesn't work properly, I feel like it has to be a software problem, not the wi-fi module, because it seems to work fine with the other apps I've tried. For this reason, I've dropped the tv down to 4 stars now. I still may call for service, but I haven't decided yet.

I was just a regular Joe looking for a good deal for a new 3D TV on line. The brand did not matter to me as much. My biggest struggle was trying to decide between Plasma vs LCD/LED and active 3D vs passive 3D. I am not in the gaming. I just wanna get a great TV so I can enjoy it after long hours of work. I finally picked this Plasma TV with a newer version of the active shutter goggles. So far, it has been a week and I love it. I think I have made the right decision. This Plasma TV still gives me the great quality of TV in 3D or 2D. The goggles are very light weight. The smart TV features are cool and nice. This TV truly delivers as described on Amazon. The only complaint I have about this TV is that its WiFi is weak. I am not sure if it is the problem from the TV or from my wireless connection. The WiFi still delivers what it is supposed to 95% of the time. I think it is still not too bad for a "smart TV". I would recommend this product to anyone.

Pros: cheap, decent picture qualityCons: terrible sound quality, no sound at all below volume level 4, 90 day warranty on a new unitBottom Line: Not recommended - especially if you're looking for quiet listeningI recently picked up a Coby LEDTV3246 at another retailer (not Amazon). The picture quality is decent, but the sound quality is not good. The speakers sounds "tinny/boxxy" -- almost as bad as an old transistor radio -- like coming out of a 1/4" speaker from a bad laptop. Worse, if you're looking for "quiet listening," like in a bedroom, the sound is too loud at when set at volume level 4 but goes totally silent at volume setting 3 or below. I tried numerous HDMI cables and hooked it up to 3 different sources (cable box and two different xbox 360's), but never got any sound output when the volume was set to 3 or below. This applies only to HDMI inputs. I did not try the other inputs for this issue.So, I emailed and called Coby support and, after some back and forth, one of their phone support staff tells me that "That's just the way the HDMI design is on those units [the LEDTV models]. I'm not sure why they did it that way." I asked him if I returned this unit and picked up an exact replacement, would it exhibit the same problem. He said that it would be the same problem with an exact replacement and that all Coby LED HDTV models would have the same issue.

I bought this TV for the Mrs. for casual bedroom viewing. For a 720p HDTV, going head to head for picture quality, you had to spend $100 more to get something which smoked its picture quality. The colors are rich; motion tracking is OK.Verizon FiOS looks great on it when fed via HDMI. DVD's & Blu-Ray look great on it too for casual, non-critical viewing.The speakers are decent and have a balanced sound. The surround sound emulation option sounds like crap. It literally makes the whole TV enclosure sympathetically vibrate like a cheap clock radio.The only other con is that the remote is not a universal remote so it cannot be programmed to control the Verizon set top box nor an Insignia BluRay player. Is it too much to ask that all remotes have the capability to be universal remotes?Otherwise, given its limitations, it is a great budget HDTV.

The tuner stopped working after only 2 years, and the picture was never really very good to begin with. Cannot recommend and will never buy another cheaply made Insignia product. Pay an extra 20 or 30 dollars and get the same sized product from a reputable brand.

So our Samsung 720 61" Rear DLP color wheel died again and it was time for a replacement. I know I can fix the samsung with a $150 part, AGAIN, but it's getting old. I did the rounds, checked Sams, Costco, and BestBuy. Found this model as the best bang for the buck. I ended up getting mine from Costco for $1299 which was cheaper than Amazon's price, but now, two days later, it looks like Amazon has dropped their price with free shipping to basically match Costco's price with tax. But still, can't beat the extra warranty and ease of replacement I get with having purchased at Costco. I buy so much from Amazon (absolutely love prime!), but large TV's like this, I just don't see the point in going online if you are lucky and can get the same deal (even after tax) locally. I read SamsClub is going to have these for BlackFriday doorbuster price of $1000 (no raincheck), but I don't feel like waiting in line overnight only to loose out, and I needed a tv now for the family room.There is a 3D version of this TV for a few hundred more. SamsClub had this on display. Wow, the front of the 3D version is like a mirror. Just standing back looking at all the TVs, the 3D version of this one was just terrible with so many reflections. I would have paid the few hundred extra for 3D, but it just didn't seem worth it to have to put up with distracting reflections for the majority of our TV viewing just for that very rare 3D movie. I do not know what they were thinking on why they made that 3d version front so reflective. I tried some 3D tvs at BestBuy and just did not like what I saw. 2D is what most stuff is anyways, so I scratched 3D off our list.So on to this TV.Assembly - I was amazed I was actually going to need some tools! The instructions actually call for you to place the TV FACE DOWN onto a ledge (dining room table?) so that you can attach the bottom stand mount. No way was I going to do that. I placed it backside on some towels and then just carefully attached the plate from the bottom.Instructions - There are basically none! Just a quick start guide.Inputs - This is one possible future downside. Only 3 HDMI inputs. 2 on the back, 1 on the side, ALTHOUGH, at least the one on the side is still in quite a ways so I don't need to worry about the cable sticking out the side. Still, I don't understand why they can't provide at least 4 or 5 inputs. But 3 is fortunately enough for me.Remote - In setting up the TV, the remote was quite nice. The keyboard is really useful for typing things in now. The buttons at the top of the front though don't feel that good though. When I press the NetFlix button, I feel a click. But not when I press the two outside buttons.Sound - The speakers are on the backside. But since I send all our sound through a Yamaha receiver, I didn't care what the TV sounded like so I can't offer any opinion on that.TV Stand - I can see how some might consider it a "little" flimsy. I'm not worried at all though. If I grab the side for example to feel/push some of the buttons, it does move a little, but I don't think this is a big deal.So I finally turned it on. It takes about 30 seconds till the image is up. Right away the TV goes into setup mode. It was very easy to follow the instructions. I quickly got the wifi connected. I dont' broadcoast our SSID and I use WPA2 but it was still very easy to type everything in. It quickly connected. I was able to easily rename the HDMI1 input to DirecTv, the remote's keyboard really helps. Finally, some TV! I open the DirecTv guide and it is so clear. Everything just pops. Wow, what a picture. It's just so clear and sharp. And the blacks are amazing. I had some SciFi shows recorded on the DVR and fired up some black dark scenes and it was just amazing. I could not believe some of the details I was able to now see. Absolutely blows away our old 720p DLP. I'm not a picky person but for the first time ever, my wife actually made some comments about the color though. She "thought" the color was a bit dulled. I thought it was fine. I played around with some picture settings. She really liked "Vivid", it was fine for me too, maybe a little on the aggressive color side. In the end, we just went with "Custom" and turned down the brightness a little. Even though this is an EdgeLit LED, I was not able to see any uneven lighting, everything seemed uniform to me.Watching some HD network shows that evening, I will say, the TV is so sharp and clear, that it's just such a new experience. Like the shows were shot with some new type of camera!Later that night, it was time to reprogram our logitech remote. Connected the logitech remote to my PC, and logitech found the model number for this tv. Great! In no time, I had the TV turning on/off and switching inputs.Finally, I decided to play around with the apps. This is where things got a little frustrating. I pressed the amazon button at the top of the remote since we have prime. I'm pretty certain that remote button clicked the first time, but it doesn't anymore. The TV popped something up, but that went away, and now, pressing that button again, nothing would happen. So I pressed the big middle button on the remote and I see the apps popup at the bottom. I scrolled through them but didn't see amazon anywhere. So I checked the "quick start" guide again and there are two pages that did help a little. Followed some instructions, opened the app store, tv downloaded some kind of update, eventually I was back in the app store. I was able to remove alot of apps that I know I wouldn't use like NetFlix, Facebook, Twitter, etc. I did add Amazon and AccuWeather. For amazon, it gives you a code that you then need to enter from your computer to activate that device. Eventually I was watching a prime movie. Nice! The apps are a bit slow though. Quite a few times it would show a "working" like cursor and you just were stuck and had to be patient. I also really dislike icon only based apps (especially when the icons are so small) and wonder what exactly those icons mean at the bottom of the left bar. I was able to click on them. One of them closes the bar, the other did something, but don't rememeber. The apps do require a bit of excessive up/down/left/right/ok/back type navigation. I didn't buy the TV for the apps though, but it's nice they are there.In the end, this is a killer tv deal for it's size and price. Without a doubt, this is a keeper! I remember buying our first Vizio many many years ago when they first came out, and since then, all future tv purchases, after carefully shopping around, also ended up being Vizios. The Samsung DLP was the last one. And now, that too is replaced with a Vizio. Haven't had a single problem with any of our other Vizio's.I am extremely happy with this purchase.UPDATE: 12/3/12Edge Lit: I think I now know what some people may mean by non-uniform edge lighting, but I had to have all the lights off at night in a totally dark room and I could only notice it during the tv startup. And the uneven edge lighting is more discernible from extreme off axis viewing, again only while tv was turning on, during that 30 second delay. From straight on, it was less. Essentially there is some more lighting that is noticeable in the corners of the tv. Once fully on and watching TV, I just couldn't spot it.Remote: I guess I jinxed myself when I mentioned I hadn't had any problems with our prior vizio's. My initial comment about the remote buttons that were not clicking, it seems maybe one was stuck, my amazon button, as my amazon bar started popping up for no reason. Fortunately, we use a logitech for most stuff so I put the vizio remote away. I called up Vizio support, registered my TV, explained the stuck button, and a new remote was shipped out to me. New remote came and it works great! All the buttons, including the amazon button, have a nice click feeling to them. Awesome support!!!The TV has an ambient light sensor. It tries to auto adjust the brightness depending on what the light levels are in the room. I found this option when poking around the menus. It has sensitivity settings for off, low, medium, and high. Over the past month, on a few occasions during night tv viewing, I have noticed the tv brightness dynamically change even though the ambient light levels did not. Isn't a big deal for me, it's only done it like 2 or 3 times. I like the feature actually, it seems to be doing it's job. At night, the image is not too bright and during the day, the image is bright and pops.UPDATE: 12/16/12While the logitech site did have this model in their database, and things worked for me initially, after I hooked up my remaining devices I ran into some issues switching inputs and found the database did not have discrete remote codes for power or input switching for this model. Luckily I found another vizio model, E421VA, and when I reprogrammed my harmony 650 remote using this tv instead, I was able to solve my problems and now the tv correctly turns on and switches inputs when choosing different activities.

At $1500 or less, the value of the VIZIO M650VSE blows the competition out of the water, no one else comes close to offering a 65" LED smart tv for $1500 or less. In the current market for tvs, there's a huge price point difference between 60" and 65" which may change over time, but I've personally been trolling websites for months and this is the first 65" tv with wifi capabilities below $1500. I did not hesitate to order it online when this became available. Being an LED is a huge and unexpected bonus.I've been on the VIZIO website a lot before pulling the trigger and they have two model series, model E and model M. Model E is offered in 60" and 70", and looks super sleek, the frame itself is super thin. For whatever reason it's not offered on 65" otherwise I'd scoop that up. The model M is their only 65" model and its frame is slightly chunky by comparison.I'm curious why there aren't more reviews of this product? Why is VIZO's only model in their Model M series their chunky 65" model, while their Model E series has a thinner frame and comes in 60" or 70". Are they both new products? If so why make the 65" inferior?I also went all in and bought a soundbar, the VIZIO VHT215, because I figured they would integrate, great reviews online. While the tv only has 3 HDMI inputs, you can run two additional HDMI devices through the soundbar.As an extra bonus feature the back of the remote has a keyboard, good luck finding that anywhere else.

First off, let me say I have been a loyal VIZIO customer for at least 4 years and own all VIZIO TV's. I have had only one issue with a VIZIO TV in the past and that was QA issue, there was nothing functionally wrong with it. This TV was purchased on BF from Sam's Club. With that being said..I have experienced a "glitch" with my TV where, the picture will go out and come back in after a couple of seconds, with the audio staying perfect intact. This occurs with any of the 3 HDMI slots, as well as the component slot, with all known working cables. VIZIO also has an issue with this TV where if you use WPA2 settings for your WIFI security, the remote becomes very unresponsive, if you don't use WPA2, it works fine. I have tested this and can say this is all true. I, however do not use the remote, and use a Universal remote, but please be aware of this if you are considering purchasing this TV and use WPA2.The picture is beautiful, when it doesn't go in and out. When playing a movie on Blu ray, the crispness and motion flaw is superior. If you are a sports fan like myself, it's very hard to comment on. Some of the channels I watch, ESPN, FSN, YES, etc. the colors vary. Some are over saturated and others aren't (ESPN). Watching the main channels (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC) all seem to be in tune with one another.The sound coming from the TV, sounds good, but I don't use them as I have a 7.1 receiver for my sound, but the built-in speakers are up to par with the big boys (Samsung, Panasonic).I do have the Disney WoW Calibration disc to calibrate the colors and settings for my TV. However, I am using the current settings below which are satisfying so far. Once I do a full calibration, I will post an edit with those settings to share. For now, use the below and you should be good to go.Backlight - 82Brightness - 49Contrast - 56Color - 70Tint - -2Sharpness - 6Horizontal Position - 32Vertical Position - 16Horizontal Size - 0Vertical Size - 0Color Temperature - CustomAll RGB Gains/Offsets - 50Smooth Motion Effect - OffNoise Reduction - LowMPEG NR - LowColor Enhancement - OffAdaptive Luma - OffFilm Mode - AutoBacklight Control - OffAmbient Light Sensor - OffI MUST reiterate, this TV does have an issue if you use WPA2 for security and does experience a glitch where the picture goes out and comes back after a couple of seconds. I did notify VIZIO of this, however, they claimed there are no known issues with this TV. I find that hard to believe. If you check AVSForum's official M650VSE thread, you will see some of these issues. I sure do not want to have to take down a 65" TV that weighs close to 100 pounds off a wall, that is 6 feet off the ground.Until the picture issue is resolved, I am giving this a 4/5 stars. I would rate it a 3/5, but the remote feature I will not be using with the TV.Edit 12/13: I made changes last night to the TV and did not experience the "glitch" I previously posted. I will do some more digging this weekend and will update this review with my findings.Edit 12/15: I made the following comment on my post and am repeating it here.. It seems after I made this review, VIZIO has made a firmware update and I received it, even though after contacting their support a couple of days ago and claiming there were no known issues, I can verify I am no longer seeing the picture go out and come back in after a couple of seconds. Again I don't use VIZIO's remote, so I can't confirm anything regarding the WPA2 security use and the delay being resolved. The current firmware is that of: 3.43.847. I will be using the Disney WoW Calibration disc this weekend to update the settings above to the best of my 20/20 vision and have updated my stars on this from 4/5 to 5/5.Edit 12/16: I made revisions to the settings above the only major change I made was the tint from 0 to -2 and added the backlight that I forgot which is set at 52. Again this was used using the Disney WoW Calibration Disc.Edit 12/18: I have noticed the TV doing the same issue in my review with the picture randomly going out and coming back on. VIZIO customer support can't figure out the issue and are replacing the TV entirely. Not very happy to take down a TV that is 95lbs and is mounted 6 feet high. I am not recommending this TV until the replacement comes and I know the issue has been resolved.Edit 12/29: I talked to VIZIO again, this time someone who had some knowledge. He said to up the Backlight to around 80-85. Since doing that I have not noticed the TV going out (this has been 3-4 days now). I have since cancelled my service request. I'm rating this back to 4 stars. Since there is a 1 year warranty, I will see how things go in the weeks/months to come. If anything changes, I will update as necessary.

I just purchased this TV here on AMAZON a few days ago for $859.00 with free super saver shippingwithout using the Amazon Prime 2 day shipping.(I never subscribed to it)This TV was purchased Monday 6pm and it arrived Wednesday morning before noon VIA UPS.(Wow)As far as the picture quality of this TV set it cannot be beat regardless of the price.I have been shopping for a 46 inch LED TV for about a month at local retail stores onlyto find that basically the main or only differences between this TV and that of thehigher priced makes and models of other 46 inch TV's has very little or nothing to dowith the overall actual picture quality but has a lot more to do with the amount ofadditional features and options these smart tv's have and are available on the higherpriced makes and models of the same size.The picture quality on this HD TV is so life like and so sharp and clear that I canclearly see even the smallest details like a person's eyelashes, eyebrows and eventhe eyeballs.The internal audio output quality using the built-in speakers is what I would call average,so if you are the type of person who wants theater quality audio you will need touse an external audio amplifier and external speakers.All the internet features and options work excellent and really look professionaljust like you would see on your home computer'a monitor.The only drawback with the internet is that you will need to find a compatiblewireless USB keyboard to use unless the remote's up/down/left/right buttons aregood enough for you while surfing the web.The built-in Wi-Fi is so super easy to setup that it's almost automatic.This TV has so many settings and adjustments for the picture that even if you arevery particular and a perfectionist you will have more than enough controls to getthe exact picture you want.The "picture & picture" feature is really excellent, to use it you will need a secondaryvideo source like the RF 75 ohm output of your cable box or a TV antenna so that boththe TV's built-in tuner and the cable box's tuner are both connected to the TV.Even without an HD cable or satellite box this TV has fantastic digital picture qualityand it receives many OTA (over the air) HD channels using an antenna, cable box or Tivo.The only fault I see in this TV set is when I connect an external USB hard drive or aUSB flash-drive which contains lots of videos and or movies.The TV plays basically all the video formats like DIVX/AVI/MPG and all other formatsreally well but the user interface when using this feature leaves a lot to be desired.It is an all black screen with tiny file and folder icons which have no graphics or textso you cannot see the titles/names of the movies or videos contained on the USB harddrive or the USB Flash drive.It looks like the media player feature in this TV is something which is not fullyfinished yet but something which needs to be worked on and finished by Sony with afirmware or software upgrade.Perhaps one of these days Sony will have a newer firmware or software version soafter upgrading the built-in media player it will have all the missing/lacking features.I have a Western Digital USB TV Live media player which I use for my movies and it worksand looks excellent and it has all the missing features which this TV's built-in mediaplayer is is lacking.Another good choice for an external usb media player is the Sony SMP-N100 media player.The remote control which comes with this TV is really excellent unless you haveadditional components attached to the TV set. If so, you will need to buy an allin one type remote. (preferably a Logitech Harmony One).All in all I gave this TV 5 Stars due to it's truly amazing picture quality and allthe excellent features and options it has.

Not sure why anyone wouldn't give this a 5 star rating. So easy to use and set up, crystal clear picture if you are watching anything HD. This isn't even for sale yet here on Amazon but I bought this at a local dealer yesterday and it is perfect. Apps work great. We have amazon prime and i am watching a movie as I type. We got the 50in and could not be happier.I shopped for a long time and here is why I got the Sony.#1 It supports amazon instant video. (Many brands do not even if they are wi-fi enabled.)#2 The Sales man said Sony has the best picture Quality (Samsung is 2nd but they don't support Amazon video service.) From the show room Sony looked the best.#3 Size 50 inch is perfect not too big or small.#4 1080p 240hz. The higher these #s the better the picture.#5 simple, no 3-d or extras we would never use. Keeping the price affordable.

Introduction: We've had a Sony Trinitron SDTV for many years, using a HDTV tuner converter box since the switch to HD broadcasting. I have been waiting for an LED-backlit TV with at least a true 120Hz refresh rate to come down to a decent price. On this past Black Friday weekend I tried the Samsung UN46ES6100 and this Sony KDL46EX645, which were both priced at $799. Below are my thoughts on these two TVs.Picture Quality: After having the Samsung TV and trying to tweak the picture settings to make it look just right, then still not being satisfied by the clarity, when I connected the Sony TV I was impressed at first sight. The sharpness of the Sony is much better, and the color balancing doesn't take much if any tweaking at all to make scenes look good. The Samsung had several white blotches in the middle are of the screen, which could've just been a defect in the model I got. (Best Buy sold it to me as "new" but it was obviously an "open box" item.) The Sony has some light "ghosting" in the corners, which is not a defect but is just the way it is for this edge-lit LED TV. This is somewhat distracting in dark scenes, but can be minimized by adjusting the backlight level.Motion Flow: I tested several fast-moving movie scenes on my Sony BDP-S390 on both TVs without any "motion flow" enabled. The Sony was much smoother on these scenes and decoded the scenes with less pixelation. With "motion flow" enabled, I found that the Samsung was not very good at "guessing" the fill frames, making the scenes much worse. On the Sony, the "guessing" was better but I don't like the "soap opera" feel that it creates so I leave it off except for sporting events. The Sony TV has a separate "CineMotion" option for movies, I have left that on although I haven't been able to tell a difference with it on or off.Smart TV: Sony's PlayStation experience has helped them in this area I think. The Sony Entertainment Network is quick and easy to navigate with a well-designed layout, and the TV is responsive and not bogged down when accessing it (although there is a short delay immediately after turning on the TV before you can access it). The Samsung equivalent was clunky and not designed well at all. The Sony TV also has "Internet Apps" powered by Yahoo that provides quick access to widgets like weather, stocks, and sports scores which I find very convenient. There is a decent Samsung equivalent for this, but you have to go through their Smart Hub to access it which interrupts TV viewing. On the Sony it is just one button away and shows up along the button of the screen.Menus and Remote Control: This is another area in which Sony showed their professional side and superior design. On the Samsung, the menu system was childish and basic. On the Sony it is clean-cut, extensive and easy to navigate. The remote is easy enough to use, and with the Bravia Sync menu we can control the Sony BD player using the TV remote. The TV sends the controls through the HDMI cable. Switching back to TV control does require pressing a few buttons, and accessing some of the deeper BD player controls requires accessing a menu system, but it is convenient to have control on one remote.TV Guide: We pickup OTA TV channels so we don't have a TV guide on a cable box. On the Samsung there was a very nice TV guide that showed us upcoming show schedules. The Sony doesn't have this feature, which is disappointing but not a deal breaker.Conclusion: The Sony has a better picture engine and the "smart TV" features are better. The overall impression I got when comparing the two models is that the Sony was made by professionals and the Samsung was made by amateurs. We've always owned Sony equipment so maybe I am just biased, or maybe they just make really good equipment. I realize that there are various price-levels and technologies for TVs, and the more expensive plasma TVs have the best picture quality. This 46" EX645 was worth the wait for us to buy an LED HDTV.Star Rating: I think this is a great TV overall. I'm giving it 4 stars, taking off a star for the light "ghosting" in the corners and the lack of the TV guide. I think Sony could've easy included the TV guide, which even our old converter box had, but didn't for some reason.P.S. Sony makes great TVs and home entertainment equipment, Apple makes great computers and smartphones. Canon make great DSLR cameras. Samsung makes all these things and more, but in my experience none of them are that great.

The XBR4 has blown my socks off. On display at the electronic store it actually looked worse than my other LCD Samsung LN-3241D. After fine tuning and adjusting the picture, whether it was recent non-HD DVD's or HD content, with the 120Hz Motionflow, Pixar's Toy Story looked 3 dimensional, and the colors were nothing I had seen before from this DVD. I am so happy with this purchase and the higher price tag is well worth it. I also watched a streamed Netflix movie (Amadeus), using the PC input, and the movie quality was ok. With the Samsung the streamed quality is noticeably not as rich in color and a bit grainier. I Recommend this LCD TV. Sony is definitely the leader in high end TV's. P.S. I am not a Sony fan boy, I am still angry about the root kit found on their CD's.

I ordered the 32" LCD Sony Bravia XBR KDL-32XBR4 32" LCD HDTV from Amazon as it was about $200 less than Cir**** C***, B*** B**, etc. because I had seen other SONY XBRs and the picture just had the best color picture of any brand I saw. The unenhanced contrast ratio is tops (if you study all the spec stuff, this means BEFORE they use the electronic make-it-look-better circuitry) and it really shows with a good signal. Sony makes cheaper 32" models, and this is their flagship model. It cost a bit over $1100.It took 3 days to get it out of the warehouse and get me a tracking number and an email that said it would be here in 8-10 days. The freight company called me 2 days later and delivered the next day. The freight driver helped me get it out of the box and told me to keep the box until I was sure it was A-OK as he said another shipping retailer (Crut*******) wouldn't accept a return without the original box. The set was in perfect condition, all the little stuff (cords, remote, cable gizmos, etc.) was there, manuals in english and spanish (maybe french too, it's a world economy now, eh?), etc. etc. No evidence it was other than a grade A straight from the factory brand new "first" (Tig** Di**** sometimes sells refurbs, seconds, etc.).Took me a while to get it set up and figure it all out - I called Sony customer support 4 times getting all the home theater sound, DVD, VCR, HD satellite dual DVR stuff going. I am pretty techie but these things involve new connection types and the manual gives you the simple dumbed-down diagram that shows a picture of the set connector bay with cords going to various pics labelled DVD, VCR and a one sentence explanation. Sony support spoke good english and when questions ran off script they put me on hold and went and asked someone who knew more to find me an answer. Wikipedia helps too

Just got done watching opening weekend of the NFL on this set and it was amazing. I decided to splurge on this TV after considering lesser options and even older Sony 32" models and I'm glad I did. The 120hz refresh rate combined with the Bravia engine gives amazingly smooth motion for sports and action movies. The color reproduction is great - I'm a stickler against bad skin-tone reproduction (just visit your nearest big box store to see loads of large screen junk with orange people).I am a big fan of smaller screens, by the way - in today's HD world I think that 32" - 40" at most is the current sweet spot. Stretching available pixels any father dilutes the quality in my mind. So if you don't have a McMansion and you can handle a smaller screen consider this TV - it is so vivid that it betrays it 32" size by the way; you would swear it's a 40 incher.

Putting together the base was fairly straightforward for me. At no point did I feel that I had to overtighten the screws in order to keep things from wobbling. The one glitch is that (in English, French, and Spanish) the instructions for assembling the base have the labels for the front and the rear switched, so that the pedestal is alleged to be closer to the front of the base than the rear, contrary to what published photos of the assembled product indicate. I don't know if this mislabeling is what has given people problems with the base, or if Samsung used to ship worse-fitting hardware than it does now. In any case, I'm glad I didn't let the complaints about the base hold me back from purchasing this item.I've owned this set for less than 24 hours, but perhaps some initial impressions will be helpful to other shoppers:1) I spent over half an hour wandering through an electronics megastore comparing pictures and I have to say that I couldn't detect any advantage of 1080p over 720p for sets of this size. (I assume that a store this big was feeding in some 1080p content, but I could be wrong.) At home, over-the-air 720p and 1080i content looks great on this set.2) While the LED sets are sleeker than the LCD sets, I didn't think that the LED picture was any better. Both I and one other customer in the store were vacillating between the Samsung UN32D4000N and this set, and we both ended up opting for this one.3) Some review sites represent these LCD sets as having narrow viewing angles. To my eyes, that was far from true, as almost every set in the store had a picture that was easily viewable from far to the side.4) Buyers' guides imply that we all now need sets that are twice as big as the sets we were buying a few years ago. In particular, a 32-inch set is all of a sudden considered far too small for a living room. Well, I think this set looks good in my living room. It's nice not to have my house look like my life revolves around television viewing.5) If there's a way to have this set memorize channels from two different antenna positions, it wasn't obvious to me. Fortunately, on my 3rd or 4th try I was able to orient my antenna so that the set located all my local channels on one scan.6) At this set's current price, you run very little risk of buyers' remorse.

Cons:1) As noted in other reviews attaching the stand to the television is challenging and will require much more force than you would believe necessary.2) Owners manual is not very thorough nor are instructions very clear3) Attaching the securing strap(not included) on the back of the televsion to your stand involves creativity & parts of your choosing, as there are no instruction.Pros:1) Excellent video quality for 720P/60Hz2) Attractive / aesthetically pleasing appearance3) Nice menu layout and features4) (2)HDMI's & (1)USBFor anyone experiencing problems with the picture quality this television has a built in picture & audio test. To implement the test(s) you will needto press; 1)The Green Menu Button near the center of the remote 2)Use the UP arrow to scroll UP one to where "Support" is displayed vertically along the left edge of the set 3)Arrow to the RIGHT Once 4)Arrow DOWN once to "Self Diagnosis" 5)Press Enter or the button in the middle of the four arrow keys 6)Select Either "Picture Test" or "Sound Test" The picture test displays two children on a beach surrounded by some beach toys, it displays very vibrant colors, blues, oranges, yellow as well as strong sunlight contrast to check the black and white balance of the set. My test image appears incredible. The sound test plays some type of theme song music that I personally find annoying yet it also provides very clear, stereo sound and does so at the volume level your set is set to at the time of the test.Unfortunately because the owners manual is so lacking it takes time to learn all the settings and adjust them appropriately. Yet once you have the picture quality of this televisionrivals any 32" television I have ever seen, bar none.

Coming from an LNT4061, LNT4069, and, most recently, an LN40A650, I'd happy to say that this TV has yet to disappoint. The Samsung quality is all there and it feels considerably evolved from the previous generations I've owned. I'm using this as an office monitor and television - for both occasions, it's a terrific set. The colors are vivid, the sound is crisp, and I have yet to experience any issues with it. I'd also note that this television, while considered the entry level for 2011, is slightly thinner and substantially lighter than other 32" models within the Samsung product lineup and other companies' models within the same price range. There ARE thinner and lighter 32" TV's, but you'll spend an additional $150+ just for the size difference. This was a deciding factor in my case, since I wanted an easily wall-mounted TV without breaking the bank. I'd highly recommend this particular model for anyone looking for a bedroom/office television. It's just the right quality and size at just the right price.
