Anyone else feel that the stand for the 70" Vizio is weak? I'm not planning to mount this TV.

Haven't had any problems with mine. Have had it for couple months now and seems to hold up just fine.

Yes, TV is heavy & stand is kind of wobbly. Doesn't inspire confidence. I'm just hoping for the best.

It seemed small to me but I always planned on mounting it. In my opinion it's more steady mounted than on the small stand.

I've had it on a stand since I got it and its been fine. It did feel like it was unsteady when I put the TV up but unless you're in an earthquake zone it's going to be fine.

I have it on it's stand and I'm confident the stand will do what it's supposed to do. You have about 78lb spread across a width of 62 inches centered at the middle of the set so of course it will wobble if you push on it; I don't see that as a problem. What I'd be more concerned about is the display falling forward in an earthquake so I have installed restraining straps on the back tethered to the table it sits on. Relax it ain't gonna fall sideways. The only way it would not wobble is if you had two stands; one at each end.

The Stand seems adequate to me. We had it on the stand for about 2 weeks and then mounted it on the wall.

We also did not put our 70" Vizio on the wall and wondered about the stand when we installed the TV....it seemed unsteady. We purchased our TV at the end of November 2012 and have had no problems. We are no longer worried about the stand.

While the stand may look weak, I haven't had any problem with it so far (6 weeks). If you need to move/slide it, have someone help you as the unit is bulky.

Unless you plan on moving this set often; it's fine.Be careful when positioning the set by lifting...not sliding the set.

I wish I could give you an answer on how to adjust, but I was so disappointed with the wobbly stand and POOR picture, I sent my TV back for a refund within 24 hours of hooking it up! Best of luck.

I agree with the others..... The tv size is really irrelevant, it's the size of the room your tv is in that really matters.

no idea. I went to Kmart and purchased a black tv stand that has a "showcase" that the Vizio sits in perfectly. The cabinet looks like a frame around the tv and looks awesome.

I got a e-mail last week (around Oct 26 or 27th) from Vizio stating that the 554 would be available "for the holiday season" nothing about November but I'm hoping it's soon.The Vizio website page for the 554 has just added an "Add To Interest" button... that's encouraging.In the e-mail there was mention of the other sizes they will introduce (47" and I think 36") but nothing about that huge 72" or a 65" so I assuming they were scraped.

Specks show 70" max.. Personally I would look for something more substantial for a 75" TV.

Yes I have vizio tv same size. Real heavy even tho is thin but bracket is very strong. You should no have a problem. Just make sure when you bolt on wall that you screw into studs. good luck.. hope this helps.

We have our 42" Vizio mounted on it with no problem. Can't say about your specific TV though.

My TV is an older 47" Vizio that is about 90lbs. It supports it just fine. Love the height and overall look too.

Heck no, that is a TOTAL non issue. You can clearly see the full picture while practically standing next to it....but honestly, who even stands that far to the side watching TV anyway, to me that's a bogus specification. Trust me, this TV has an amazing picture. You would be totally throwing away your money on something more expensive. Something else to keep in mind, you can't always trust the video feeds that big box stores feed their sets. Sometimes that have worse feeds going to certain TV's because they need to meet a sales quota. ALSO, those TVs on the wall at the stores are NOT calibrated for the best viewing. I have my sharp 70" on the Dynamic mode, everything just pops more. Hope that helps. Heck no, that is a TOTAL non issue.

That is odd. I bought one of these TV's for my son for Christmas and a wall mount kit. I am sure the bolts were taped onto the stand. I will open it back up tomorrow and measure the bolt length.

We have a 70 inch as well and do not feel that it is sturdy enough for it. We decided to use a different stand for the 70 and placed our 55 inch on it instead.

I just received delivery of this same Sony last Friday and have noticed the same thing. I have not done anything about correcting it because the delivery man who helped me secure the TV to the pedestal stand didn't think there was anything wrong. This isn't much help, but it's all I know for now.

I have a 55' Vizio. It probably could swing to 90* if the TV wasn't so wide. In other words the arm doesn't extend far enough to make the 90 with a 55' TV. Fully extended from the wall to the back of the TV is about 20 inches. I can get about 65*. You can adjust the mounts on the back of the TV to be off center which adds about 6" and could be enough. I tried it out of curiosity. It gives me about 80*. Be happy to send pics if I new how.

I get the same thing from a Vizio. You could probably get an in-line noise filter to fix that problem but the hum mine isn't loud enough to bother me so I haven't done much.

I've noticed that it starts to sag with larger TVs. With my 48 I didn't have any issues and you could get around 45 degrees +- 10. But with my 60 inch the weight makes the mount slant, so I tend to keep it stationary now. Hope that helps.

Hey there, If you stand 2 feet from the tv with your chin at the same level as the top bezel, then that isn't a good viewing angle. Otherwise, the viewing angle on this TV is excellent.
