Difference with VIZIO XVT553SV: Is this newer Vizio really so much different than VIZIO XVT553SV?

One thing I would like to know if this TV handles 1080p/24 correctly. According to cnet and other source 553 did not handle 1080p/24 correctly and used a 3:2 pulldown. That would lead to motion artifacts in some scenes.

TV hopeful, obviously you will buy what you think is best and Costco has the new Vizio 55 inch for $1800 but I am floored by the picture on this Samsung. I was going to buy a vizio but decided to hold out for this Samsung once they released their new 55 inch LED LCD and figured I'd get a good price which after a lot of work I did, $1620.00..good luck in your purchase which ever one you decide to get

Yeah, I noticed that too. I am still debating between this model and another. Let me know what you think about the TV. Thanks.

i just bought it a month ago and they sell it at walmart and many others so i would guess its a newer model i bought strait from amazon and verified it was new via vizio when i registered it.

For 2013, the upgrade kit is a 1.2GHz quad core processor and 4GB Ram (2012 model is a dual core). The UI is different too (your menus for the smart TV apps). A new remote is also included in the upgrade kit. Better voice recognition is "promised" too.If your current TV as it is, is OK for you, then don't waste the "proposed" 500 dollar price tag for this upgrade. Unless it's some ground breaking technology included in the kit, no real reason for it!For me, since I have a quirky TV (my review of this TV from about June 2012 on Amazon goes into detail), that kit may be a "fix" (I experience jittery video occasionally).

There is no difference other than color amongst any of the robots, with the exception of the brush and filter on the new XV-21. Per the manufacturer, the only other difference is color. The firmware could also be different, but that can be updated for free.

Am currently using a VIZIO 32" and it works fine. You get a better picture with HDMI or DVI cable but this comp has VGA out. The output is good and for the cost it works fine for us.

I watched the 554sv from every angle at Costco. The reflection of the overhead lights was crystal clear on this unit (as were most of the other 55" lcds) - i.e. very reflective. The 553 was slightly more matte finish so somewhat more "blurry" reflection of the overhead lights. The only one that was really matte (including Sony and Samsung as well) was the cheapest Vizio (can't recall the model number but was sub $1000 price) but it's over all picture was pixelized on motion so unacceptable to me. I'm still looking.

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

My Vizio was $314.99 & the warranty was pricey. I, too, went to amazon & got a &349.99 warranty for $28.60. Can't explain the difference.

VIZIO XVT3D554SV 55-inch 1080p 480Hz 3D LED HDTV with Full Array TruLED, Smart Dimming and VIZIO Internet AppsThe Amazon product title is glitched "VIZIO 55?" it should be "VIZIO 554."

Honestly , I don't know ... I've had my Vizio 3D 55" for about 4 years, I have had NO problems...maybe that helps..

Neither am I. I did the same, researching different TVs and couldn't decide. I didn't want something with all the bells and whistles and finally decided on this one, mostly for the price. I think between the two, you get the same quality, just different brands. Hope this helps.

Nope. You'll have to go a bit further up the food chain for that feature. Had it for about a year now and no problems yet - not sure what happened to Drip56. I have larger and smaller Samsung sets and they both have a superior picture, but then the Vizio costs half as much. Good luck with whatever your decision.

I own this tv as well as a Vizio and I would say that I like the Vizio slightly better. Seems to be just a little better quality (nothing specific just my opinion). I have the Coby in a guest bedroom and it is not used terribly oftern but works fine.

I am looking at the same two televisions. Unfortunately I can't help you with your question because it's mine too! Have you made a decision yet? I am going to check with Sharp, I will post the info for you if I get anywhere. Good Luck.
