Vizio HDTV; is the Vizio XVT3D554SV The Best Deal LED HDTV? A fairly priced Vizio HDTV - 3D LED TV with local dimming; this is a very competitive price for features and performance offered. Excellent black level quality, depth, and black level detail. Excellent color, and picture quality on the new 55 inch Vizio LED TV. Excellent value LED HDTV. What’s positive about the Vizio HDTV?This Vizio HDTV will work very well in a bright room, if that is something you need. The color balance temperature and saturation are quite good. In many ways the color was near state of the art; which is hard to believe on a set in this price range. The features here are better than most sets at twice the price. Widgets, streaming, remote, Apps, and other features are all very nice and work well. Vizio clearly worked very hard to improve the user interface on this LED LCD TV. They actually used a matt screen. I wish other manufacturers would do this too. It simply works better. Especially for increasing a sets bright room performance. This set excels in this area as images do not reflect off of the Visio’s matt screen finish. Very nicely done Vizio, keep improving and making these LED TV reviews easy!
Panel depth is now 3 inches, the old one was 5 inches.Plenty of HDTV connections and features.3D compatible, Glasses included. Get your VIZIO XVT3D554SV 55-inch 1080p Negatives of this LED TV review:There was some minor banding on the set we viewed. Also, sometimes the black levels appeared to have a blue tint in them. It wasn’t noticeable on all content. Not sure what was going on here, but this could be due to the LED’s that Vizio used having a slightly blue color output.
A glow around white images that bleeds into the darker images on the screen. It looks a bit like a haze or overflow into the darker shadows and images; apparent on really white colors that are displayed near dark colors and shadows. If you are seated off of center the viewing is less than perfect. So, not the greatest off angle viewing set on the market. Something had to give; the video adjustments aren’t as plentiful here as on more expensive sets like the higher priced Samsung models. Not 1080p/24 compatible.
Summary:For the price of the Vizio, this set is hard to beat. Vizio is not exactly known for being a high end brand. But, they have been trying very hard to change this image. They want to compete with the Sony’s and Samsung’s in their own game. With this set Vizio is seriously making a strong case for their brand. This really is a nice set, and one that I would be happy about. The only real negative to it is the brand plate that says “Vizio”, if you don’t care about that; you likely will love this HDTV. Customer reviews are overall very good for this set. We checked on Amazon to see what purchasers were saying about it and about 90% of the customers are very happy with their sets. This is above average for HDTV’s so we thought this was a good sign for Vizio. It’s clear that Vizio is working very hard to improve their image and move into the higher end products for HDTV’s. This TV is no slouch and certainly will not hurt the work they are putting in. It’s a seriously good buy, not quite perfect, but at the price, the big Visio is pretty darn close and hard to fault.

Customer Testimonials:
"Peter, I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say how impressed I am with these speakers. They are EXACTLY what I was looking for..very very small with big sound.
My wife loves them as well. They look great, and you hardly notice them at all sitting on the shelf. They integrate perfectly as surrounds. I have them crossed over at 150 as you recommended...simply fantastic. I only have about 15 hours on them so far, so I know they will only get better. You really have something here. Kelly ~ Montana USA
"I found these speakers by accident and after reading all the available info and after several emails back and forth with the company owner I decided I had nothing to lose, so I ordered a set of 5 mini cube speakers.
Peter was very helpful and patient and always responded to my emails within hours.
I have had the speakers set up for a couple of days and they sound great; they are everything described on the web site.
The sound from these small speakers truly is awesome.
I replaced a set of very high quality but also very large speakers and have not been disappointed... and the wife loves not having four large speakers in the living room.
The sound from these speakers really does fill the entire house, I was concerned about the small size of the speakers due to the fact I like to listen to music and movies at volumes most would consider loud.
These speakers are more than capable of playing at volume levels louder than I ever need while also maintaining very high quality sound. ~by; William (Corinth,TX)
"I ordered these speakers in the hope of bringing some life to my entertainment system... I didn’t think it would bring room filling sound to my entire house. These speakers not only fill my den with crystal clear sound, but radiate great sound throughout the house. Thanks for such a great product!" Celia ~Malasia IP#110.159.58.99
"these speakers breathed new life back into my music, I had no idea such small surround sound speakers could perform so well." John from US IP# 24.177.193.45
"how you got so much performance out of these speakers I have no idea -Great product!" Andrew from Denmark IP# 130.225.22.254
"nice speakers, nice finish, blended in with my room well and the wife is happy too. Great sound presentation! Now I just wish you guys made a subwoofer." Kyle from US IP# 98.233.53.244
"These surround sound speakers are amazing! After running them in for a couple days, I decided to play some tunes, and they never once sounded distorted or strained...
While I know they should be paired with a good sub-woofer bass system, I think they sound good enough that I can wait until I have the money to buy a really nice sub." Fred US IP#76.208.13.182
"Wow, what a great set of speakers. I really understand what you mean by a large sound-stage." Sandy from US IP# 137.100.121.30
"Recently I came to realize that my HDTV was better than my sound system... So, I decided to piece together a better sound system. Running across your site (and these speakers) was the best thing that has happened to my home theater.
My current system is; an older receiver, a home theater PC with a blue-ray player drive, and one pair of your Mini-Cubes. (for now; I plan to buy 3 more speakers soon)" Kevin US IP#98.179.199.26
"Purchasing a new set of surround sound speakers was a must for me. My old system looked awful and sounded even worse. The quality and look of your Mini-Cube speaker were a perfect fit.
Once I reviewed the ratings and tests I knew they would be perfect. I will be sure to look for more information and products from you. I can't believe the performance of these surround sound speakers for the modest price. I would recommend these speakers to anyone!" Mike US IP#172.16.2.142
"The overall quality and dynamic capacity of these speakers really took me by surprise. Their imaging is distinct, tonality is crystal clear, and oh yeah... they pump out some serious volume!
I feel like I have stolen speakers that I can't afford. People that spend more are Suckers!!" Micah US #Ohio
