Customer Review:
Vizio 50″ looks good but not reliable.
Bought this TV from Sam’s. Looked great for 15 months then focus and sharpness faded. Extended warranty was called to fix red random pixels then again for red correction faults, then finally 2 years and 1 month later the TV became too expansive to fix and now the Extended warranty is in the process of replacing or cash settlement. Nice TV but I would not go through that again - get an extended warranty if you do! Pain in the a$$!

Customer Review:

Plasma burn in? I meant burn up!
Bought the new Visio P50 50″ Plasma HDTV on Saturday evening and set it up on Sunday morning. Nice picture quality and sound is better than usual. We first viewed from the TV input from the cable DVR box with some live cable broadcasts and the picture quality was good, then we watched some recorded shows from the DVR, still getting a good picture.

Then later in the evening I hooked up the DVD player to the component 1 input, and watched about 1 hour of a DVD movie when all of a sudden the picture turns snowy and then into a 3 color sort of x-ray look. Hummmmm…. Then I checked the DVD player and no problems, and then I changed the input on the VP50 to see if that was it. Any input showed a box that there was “no signal found”. Then turned off the power to the VP50, and then turned on the power again. Now the screen only shows a lot of varied blue dots and in no particular order, just random. Oh, and we smelled a burning plastic smell too, and it was making a crackling sound coming from the back of the unit. So to recap: Saturday evening - Purchased the VP50. Sunday morning - Set up the VP50 Sunday afternoon- 3 hours viewing time on the VP 50 Sunday evening - 1 hour viewing time on the VP 50 and it burned up! Monday evening -Returned the unit for a full refund. Good luck with this model!
