“The VF550M is a huge screen, crystal clear on HD channels. I was surprised at how good the sound was. Most tv’s have very poor sound. This tv’s sound is not bad at all but I connected it to my sound system. Sounds great. I’m very happy with this tv. ” — M. Haley
“Before I get into the nitty gritty, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I’m a review junkie. Sue me. So when I know I want something like a new HDTV I research high and low to not only find the best price, but I also want pretty darn close to the best product out there on the market. From professional reviews to consumer reviews here on Amazon, I do my best to soak it all in. With that being said, in my experience I’ve never been disappointed with something I’ve bought that I’ve done extensive research on…
And that holds true with the Vizio VF550M. ” — Scott Garner
The 120Hz refresh rate allows the user to experience motion pictures moving at a smoother pace as compared with HDTVs of a lower refresh rate. However, this is only great while watching sports where every detail needs to be present. Although in movies, this high refresh rate might give a soap opera effect which is quite common in HDTVs with similar refresh rate. Not to worry as this can be cured by changing the settings available. If the user is an avid sports fan, the feature would be great. If not, it is best to turn it off.
“Finally, a tv that doesn’t blow you out of your chair when a commercial comes on! I have two (2) of these 55″ Vizio tv”s and they are great. I replaced a Samsung LN 650A 52″, Consumer Reports NO. 1 last year’s ratings and Hitachi 55″ plasma with Vizio tv’s. I am more than satisfied with Vizio. Picture is great and so is the sound on Vizio. No more disruptive commercials!” — Ivan Jones
