I recently replace my own color wheel. YouTube the precise model of your TV and it will walk you through the process--took me about 30 minutes and saved me $$$

i have a different model but similar issue- the color was only black and white. the green is a shared port so use it as yellow and go in to the settings - go to options then down to input options. then go to AV input and change the setting to VIDEO. I bought a tv and the online trouble shooter said bad tv so I ordered another and it did the same. this time I called support and they helped

Wow, that's expensive! If I were you, I'd just poke around on AVS Forums (www.avsforum.com) and find the "optimal" settings on there. There's usually a forum thread for each model and someone with experience calibrating tv's will post their settings. Granted, they won't be perfectly suited for your exact setup or viewing environment, but they should get you 98% of the way there.

I purchased the VIZIOX VT323SV32-Inch Full HD on July 27th. Several times over the past 2 months, while I am watching a program, the screen goes black, the Vizio logo flashes on and off orange for about 30 second, the logo goes white again, and the program pops back on. At first I thought it was a firmware update, but after the 3rd time I contacted Vizio Support. It was acknowledged this is a "known" problem they are working on. Does the comparable Sony discussed in this blog have any similar problems? I don't know if Amazon will take the Vizio back as it is over the 30 days.

Higher Hz, a newer model, 3-D and the reviews of the 553sv mentoned Blooming. I was hoping that Vizio worked out this kink.

I just bought Vizio XVT473SV from Dell, which was delivered last week. Worked fine for a day or so, but I'm noticing some screen distortion/flickering occasionally. Also some audio cut-out. Some posts suggest this might be standard def vs HD channel issues. (cable) I've not had any indication of visual or audio problem yet when using the Internet Apps or when hooking up my laptop to it. But it doesn't always work right when I turn it on with it tuned to the cable box. The problem this morning with flickering was a situation with TV/cable turned on, cable tuned to a standard def channel from the night before. I tuned to an HD channel, the screen still flickered. I turned off cable and tv. Turned back on and all was well. I'm not happy to be seeing these kinds of problems within a day of having the tv though.

I went today to look at HDtv's. I saw both the 46XBR4 and the 3000W and another 3000? Sony. All I can say is that by far the XBR4 was crisper and brighter, it looked more like reality. They had ESPN-HD feed on from Direct-TV. Is the difference worth the price, that's something you have to decide. Go look at them, I saw them at CC. I actually spent a good hour in a recliner they had setup and just watched the 46XBR4 comparing it to the sets around it. This is the one I'm getting, it was simply the best picture constantly, even better than models bigger in size with 1080p. It really stood out in the finer details when next to the other sets.

UPDATE: I was able to get in touch with a Vizio rep with some detailed info. He stated that the first round of shipments to Amazon have been completed and that they have them in stock. He said that Vizio will give them the green light to go live very shortly....no later than the middle of August. He confirmed the demand is extremely high for the 553....can't wait. I have the TV stand ready/Blu-Ray player ready and DirecTV on speed dial.

Not sure of your question, I found reviews of this TV on CNET and TWEEK TV, mentioning these because they have settings for fine tuning the color settings to where they work good. Samsung does not do this very well. For myself once I had the color settings tuned in I liked this TV a lot. Did not like the lack of Samsung support on getting the settings set up, but believe this is something found across the board. I Will say that the football games are awesome when set up correctly. hope this helps, if not clarify with question.

Thomas, I have the same issue. The settings taken from CNET look god awful. Movie mode looks particularly heinous. It places a sort of grey/green film over the colors and the picture. Dynamic seemed to be a better mode for me. Contrast 100/ Brightness 45ish/ Sharpness 0/Color 46/ Tint 50-50/Color tone Cool 1

One of the posters talks about the picture quality while using non-HDTV. I think he said he has it in a trailer, so no HDTV. Also, this unit doesn't have an S-Video connection, which is what is needed to get the best quality standard def. picture (at least that's my understanding). Which tells me that this unit is really not intended mainly for standard def viewing. Vizio, Sharp, and Philips make some units still with S-video connections. Maybe some others do, too, but so far I've found only those three brands. And if I had to guess, I would guess that eventually they'll all stop putting in S-Video connections, as more and more people start subscribing to HDTV.

Sounds like Vizio tech support is a little out of touch, LOL! Please email me regarding the model you have.
