I have the same overactive proximity display problem on my VM230XVT. If you figure out how to fix the problem or if the update fixes it, please let me know. (tomkuhnjr@comcast.net).

I checked Vizio's website. Here is the link to the latest firmware update for the VM230XVT:http://www.vizio.com/vm230xvt.html#supportGood Luck!

Unfortunately, I was told there was no firmware and that no firmware was in the works. So I returned the TV and picked up a ASUS ML238H 23-Inch Wide Ultra-Slim LED Monitor (Black/White). Thanks for the help anyway.

The firmware for the VM230XVT is now on the Vizio website, under product page -> Support. I was having the distorted sound problem, and I applied the firmware to my TV, and it fixed the problem.

It would be nice if they listed what it fixed exactly. I have an overactive proximity sensor (false positives) it would be nice to decrease it or to turn it off.

Anybody have a thumb drive to fix Vizio sound issue? Webpage says it is unavailable. After watching for about an hour, sound gets distorted. Other than that, a great bedroom tv. Or , if anyone had the same issue and solved it, please let me know. Have tried every option on tv audio menu.

According to Sony - this model can have it's firmware updated. HDMI 2.0 will probably be in the updates as it becomes more widespread.

I received mine a couple weeks ago from Amazon and it did have the new firmware. I think you would be safe to buy from Amazon because of their turnover you will get a fresh one.

Good question... Once I installed it I updated the firmware and I do not remember the firmware it shipped with. Chances are it is not the latest as I had the choice to update it out of the box...

The only time I was able to upgrade the firmware was during the initial setup, since then, I think it checks on it's on and "alerts" you an upgrade is available. Mine updated once on its own after I said it was allowed. Hope this may help you.

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.

well still no luck obtaining the 1017 firmware, again the TV IS connected to the internet via the usb dongle, but it gives me the error code 107, and i am stuck with the 1013 firmware. Anybody have any suggestions on obtaining the newer firmware? Samsung customer service says it doesnt esist! would appreciate any help.

I bought mine only 2 weeks ago and the firmware I have now is dated 8/24/07 and xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-1036. I have not tweaked my settings yet. The defaults are looking very good with free over the air HD channels. Put in HD channels or blueray player or Hd-dvd player, if all look good then just be happy with it. I can't say for sure about the refurbished unit.

When I went to best buy, the sales rep said that they were recalled because they needed to have the firmware update. And as Joseph said, the first thing on the VSX-1021-K product page at Pioneer is the link for the firmware. I think this is why Amazon originally listed the VSX-1021-K as available on 15 Apr, which eventually became 29 Apr. I can only assume that it is "out of stock" because of so many pre-orders.

So far, Vizio has not released any firmware updates for this TV. And I do not expect them to ever do it, since they completely abandoned this model, sadly. The "Smart TV" apps are a lost cause, but at least they could update the aspect ratio modes, to include some useful ones that don't require the TV to guess the black bars (often incorrectly, or hampered by station logos)

The latest firmware is still 1.03, I believe. The one I got from Amazon back in June was the latest version 1.03.

You can still use it, but I hear Vizio fixed that problem. My Ex has the 2013 model and so far she is loving it.

I'm not very tech savy, I watched the videos on how to install it, you just need to install the firmware from Sony, labeled new install, once it's installed it will download the current update, via your Internet connection

Jose,If you have the unit connected to the internet you should be able to go into the on-screen menu and have it search for a firmware update.Eric C

Don't know about any firmware updates as mine has been working just fine for 4 months. It was not easy to understand the menu structure at first as there are 2 modes for the menu that offer different settings. It does excellent video quality although the sound is weak. This is a good buy for the money.

i have gone through 2 Vizio Blu ray players. The first one stopped playing blu rays although, it still played DVDs. I looked it up online and it said that it needed an update. I went to the website, and looked it up and no update. I contacted Vizio directly by emailing them. I was unsatisfied as I had only had their product not even a year. The guy told me that I was basically out of luck. He said that they no longer offer updates on this model and that I would have to purchase a new blu ray player. I was not satisfied with that answer as it should have been still under warranty. I called Vizio. I talked to a Supervisor. This guy immediately apologized and sent out another blu ray player. Haven't had this a year and the SAME issue. Only I am getting an error when I try to update it, that says it cannot update it. : / I will NEVER buy a VIZIO blu ray player again. I have an LG blu ray player that has been wonderful!!! Haven't had an issue yet. If you haven't had this player for a year then I would call them and tell them your issue, especially if it isn't updating.
