5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant TV, September 5, 2007

I have had this TV for around a week now and I love it. It has a very good picture for HD, using either over the air or playing Blu-Ray and HD DVD discs on my players. Blu-Ray discs on the Playstation 3 are stunning. My TV is positioned opposite a window and I get very little glare from the window during the daytime. The frame has more glare than the screen does. Sound is quite good, despite what the other reviewers here have experienced. It's not going to give you the same sound that a surround sound system with a sub-woofer would give you, but it's pretty good for a low powered system. Set up of the set is quick and easy. After I made a few tweaks to the out of box set up it really looks great. Standard definition shows do look grainy, depending on how old they are. I notice that some older programs look worse than recent shows do. On the whole, this is a terrific set and the price is great.

1.0 out of 5 stars Power failed after 16 months, August 19, 2008

This review is from: Vizio 47" Gallevia Full Hdtv 1080p (Electronics)

We've had this Vizio Gallevia 47" Plasma TV for 16 months having bought it from a big box store (S's C). Its been great until 2 days ago when the screen just shut off. No warning. There's power to the TV as the logo is yellow but it won't respond. Vizio don't want to know because its out of its one year warranty and went very quiet and sheepish on the telephone. Lifetime technical support - not in reality! The local repair shop will "do his best" but "its hard to get parts". "no-one is offering support to these new brands", "that's the gamble you take" and finally "we'll do the best we can". So my review if are you going to buy this TV take the money you save from a more reliable brand and buy an extended warranty at the same time.

4.0 out of 5 stars great buy for the money, July 18, 2007

My main complaint about this tv is the sound quality. There is no richness to the sound. It doesn't matter if you run everything through a surround sound system, but I have a 4 yr old who hasn't learned how to use 4 different remotes to turn everything on yet. To me, in my home, the picture on HD channels looks just as good as the more expensive TVs in the stores. I know I could see a difference in the store where they are side by side, but for $1500 different there is no negligible difference in my home. So far I am pleased with this purchase, but we'll see how I feel in 6 months.
