Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I don't write many reviews so this will be short and to the point with some helpful info. I just received this TV using Costco (comes out to be same price after tax/shipping as Amazon, but you get 2nd year warranty free from Costco). The TV is packaged well and installation of the base was really simple. From reading the reviews here, I narrowed it down to this TV compared to similarly priced Samsung or LG. I'd like to say that maybe I got lucky (knock on wood) but the edge-light bleed is not so bad. After reading some forums about edge-light problems some people have had, I was expecting a nightmare. I went from a 32" Philips LCD TV to this and I have to admit the Black level of the Vizio isn't as dark (probably a byproduct of the edge-lighting). However, don't be scared of Vizio because some people have had excessive edge-lighting issues. If your unit has a lot of this issue, then exchange it within the return period. Second, we all know that every TV now require some color tweaks. So I looked around and found this, which has worked amazing for me! Source: [...] The Settings: Settings:Calibrated Dark Backlight:50 Brightness:52 Contrast:73 Color:53 Tint:0 Sharpness:20 Color Temp:Normal (lowered both Red gain/Offset) white areas looked very pink otherwise. R/G:525 G/G:472 B/G:443 R/Off:505 G/Off:512 B/Off:514 Adv.Setting: Auto brightness:Off/High (works in reverse on this set) Example:Instead of the High setting being "Max" it actually dims it the least and "Low" practically turns the backlight off. Black detail:Off ( very aggressive Dynamic Con) crushed blacks on every setting Smart Dimming:On Reduced Noise:Off Reduce Block:Off Film Mode:Auto UPDATE: Feb 13, 2014 Glad everyone is finding the settings helpful. I have uploaded some pictures to help you see where these numbers are which go way above 500. I also wanted to say a CON for the TV so far. The remote that came with it is utter garbage. However, I was planning on using my Logitech Harmony from the start so it did not affect me as much. However, you will have to get a new remote because the stock one is horrible. Another things I have found which is probably a feature of a SmartTV. I have Plex on my iPad and I can stream YouTube, Netflix, HBOGo directly to the TV from the iPad. You don't have to use the SmartTV's interface because iPad's interface is much better for these services. UPDATE: August 27, 2014 Over a year now and still happy with the TV as day 1. The color calibrations for the TV have not changed at all. I have also updated the firmware for the TV and the original remote is a lot more responsive, but I'll stick to my Harmony (the battery life on the Harmony is much better). Semi-recently I connected my PS3 to the TV directly so it could sense the TV was 3D. I watched a few Disney 3D movies on it and the glasses work really well. So for the 3D features, I would give it very high marks. As for Plex streaming, I have ChromeCast to use for streaming from my iPad with Plex. However, the native YouTube app on iPad picks up my TV as if it were broadcasting like an AppleTV (Bonjour protocol). I see the TV is much cheaper now, but I see other TVs out there coming down in price. So please do some more research before putting down to get this or any TV in this price range.
