nice thin bezel,
Second though, was that upon selecting picture presets, the back of the TV(not the speakers) started to hum depending on the setting. After playing with it, it appears that the Auto Brightness Control setting is causing the hum to get louder or change tone. Only the Vivid and Computer setting would not hum, and the Auto Brightness Control is set to OFF in those settings, but in all of the others, it is set to low, med, or hi, and the hum becomes louder the higher you get. Turning ON the Auto Brightness Control on Vivid or Computer mode will cause it to start humming again, and weirdly, turning it OFF on the other presets causes it to hum the loudest, no rhyme or reason really. I want to get this issue fixed instead of just sticking with Vivid or Computer mode all of the time.
I got in touch with Vizio support, and they were very quick and helpful, I have scheduled an on-site swap, at which point I will update this review.

|Great TV I highly recommend it!,
After “suffering” through life with a measly 42″ 720P Plasma,
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BB1C140?tag=o6o-20
I decided to up my game so to speak. As my birthday was a approaching, I needed no more justification. Of course, Amazon’a great price certainly posed no additional barriers, so I was set.
Now before you think that I spontaneously jumped into this purchase on a whim, let me set the record straight. I’ve been researching an LED/LCD alternative to my Plasma “toaster” for quite some time. In addition to energy efficiency, I was also looking for 1080P resolution, 60″ – 70″ in size(my wife wouldn’t let me go bigger), reliability, and of course price. I narrowed my search down to Samsung and Vizio and Vizio presented the best value, and Amazon offered the best price. Here were the other two I was looking at:

As for the TV, the picture is great, even better after some tuning and using it is a breeze. I ran the HDMI cable to my surround sound receiver, and made a couple of adjustments and now I use one remote for all devices. About the only negative isn’t with the TV at all, but with the LED/LCD platform itself. It turns out that the viewing angle of these TVs is a lot narrower than a Plasma TV, so you need to sit close to the middle to get the best picture. That doesn’t mean that everyone has to crowd onto the sofa, it just gets “cloudy” when you are way to the side.
All in all, I am very happy with my purchase and the TV. I highly recommend this TV and Amazon/.

|It’s easy and streamlined,
Things worthy of note:
– It is much more convenient to be able to watch digital media directly on the TV than it is to have a Roku, Chromecast or Wii. It’s easy and streamlined. I was hesitant about it using the Yahoo! Apps but it seems to be OK. Decent selection of apps. You do need to have Spotify Premium to use Spotify on this TV.
– My remote came with the three programmed buttons of Amazon Instant, Netflix and iHeartRadio. Obviously I would prefer them to be Netflix, Hulu Plus and HBOGo, but I suppose that you can’t please everyone. It would have been nice if you can reprogram them to your desired channels.
– BIG CON: There is a buzzing noise that comes from our TV when it’s on. It’s quiet enough that you don’t hear it when you’re watching anything with sound, but when there isn’t sound, it can be heard even from the other room. This might be a defect with my specific TV. I will update this review if the noise stops or changes.
– The picture and sound are great for my purposes.
– Our router/modem happens to be right next to our TV stand, so I do have a wired connection set up. I notice it being slightly faster in load times than wireless, of course, but it doesn’t make a huge difference.
– I think the TV is worth the money, but I think that I’ll return mine to Costco if the buzzing doesn’t go away.
– I also posted this review on Costco’s website, FYI.
