Review of VIZIO VF552XVT 55″ LED LCD VIZIO Internet Apps HDTV Class XVT Series TRULED 240Hz sps

As I mentioned in another post, Vizio has just announced the release of their “Internet Apps LCD HDTV” Series. Out of all of the Vizio LCD Internet Apps line, this 55? monster is by far the best of them all. Not only is it the largest, but it also boasts LED LCD technology, Internet apps capability, wifi, and so much more. This is truly a masterpiece from Vizio, and is sure to please any who can afford its nearly $2,000 price tag. It is on Amazon.com for this price (model number may vary).

Vizio Internet Apps

This TV is amazing, and wins in everything from it’s sleek appearance, to it’s massive screen size, to its internet wifi capabilities. If you are considering this LED LCD TV, or find a bargain, this will no doubt leave you a happy camper.

Vizio 55? LCD HDTV Appearance– The TV itself has a very attractive design. It features a glossy black shell finish. It also has the connectivity in the back of the unit (which I always prefer over TV’s with connections on the side for one reason: It hides hte cord mess). It also has the speakers located in a great place. This is a good design, because it projects the sound forward towards you.

It comes with an AWESOME looking bluetooth remote, with a slide out keyboard. This looks very high-tech and sleek, and would look sexy in anyone’s living room or bedroom.

So right off the bat, I like the way this TV looks. It would look perfect in any bedroom, den, living room, etc., even if you never turned it on!

Vizio 42? LCD HDTV Features– Vizio sure didn’t go “cheap” with the features of this tv. If you are looking for robust features, great connections, and newer technology, then this is your TV. Here is a list of the features of the Vizio VF552XVT:
