 DO NOT buy a VIZIO! November 14, 2007

My Vizio P42HD has developed a 1 inch vertical black line running through the center of the screen. I contacted Vizio tech support and got the the typical run around, getting transferred around, staying on hold for nearly an hour, and finally getting transferred to a voicemail. Left a message and got a call back a few hours later. I was told that I have a fatal failure in the plasma display, and because it is past the warranty period, my TV is now unrepairable junk. They will not stand behind the product, so I spent nearly $2000 for a junk plasma that lasted two years. Not much of a bargain, eh? Like many other reviews, this is a warning to not waste your money on a Vizio. There is a reason it is so inexpensive. Do yourself a favor and buy a better known brand. The quality and customer service will be much better. You will save a lot of money, time and frustration in the long run.

After having this TV for only 3 months, I started to expierence burn-ins and contrast issues. When I contacted their support and was trying to explain to them what the issue was, all they heard was burn-in and immediately said it wasn't covered by warranty. They told me that the only way I could get these burn-ins, is if I left the TV turned on and an image was static on the screen for hours. I advised them that this wasn't my first plasma and I knew not to leave the TV on and they stated that I was lying. The TV was suppose to have a one year manufacture's warranty which wasn't honored.
BUYER BEWARE!!!!!
It was a great TV until it broke. But buying this TV is a big chance considering how aweful their support is.

In Dec. of 2004 I bought the Vizio P42HD from Sams club. Made a ton of noise when plugged in then in a week the picture went. After a back and forth I returned it to sams and they sent me another one.
It was okay - but still made a buzzing noise that was louder then it should have been. After over a year (end of warranty) I started getting more and more white dots on the screen, and just yesterday (about 2.5 years after purchase) the screen is about to completely die again.
Called customer service and they said my warranty is done and i need to take it to a technician who needs to then order the parts from Vizio all of which I will pay for.
Under 3 years in this age of technology for a TV is a disgrace! There is no excuse for this and although I will be pushing customer service I would be surprised if it gets anywhere.
Vizio Poor Quality and Reliability. August 19, 2007

The Vizio Plasma HDTV died 5 months after expiration of the 1 year warranty. The Vizio shutdowned on it own a few times and then after that it won't turn on anymore, nothing at all. No help from Vizio either on a way to get it repair myself. Vizio does not appear to design and manufacture a very reliable product, watch out.
 Nice TV until you have issues June 19, 2007

Overall I was generally happy with the TV until it broke. It died with a pop and then wouldn't display anything. It was under warranty and so I began the process of trying to get it repaired. Their technical support and service is well awful at best and is totally unacceptable. After repeated calls they haven't yet resolved getting me even an appointment to get a service tech out to inspect the issue let alone order parts and fix it. Today I was told that they were looking for a tech and would receive a call 5-10 days from now to setup an appointment. I live in a major metro area in the US, so this simply isn't acceptable behavior for a vendor of consumer electorics if they offer on-site repairs. A quick survey of folks I work with has shown that other vendors offer same day set-up for appointments and most were within 4-7 days visited by a tech to have the repair done.
So if you have issues be warned that you may have trouble getting them resolved beyond the simple stuff.
