What is the response time of this TV like. I had a Visio the TV would respond about 20-30 seconds after I clicked the button the remote.

I use a cable box to control the TV and I don't see any delay. When I use the Smart TV functions (Netflix, Pandora, ect) there is a slight delay when you first start. I think it is because the TV is connecting to the internet. Other than that I love this tV

Depends on what you want the remote to do. Turning the Sharp on requires about 15-20 seconds after the power button is pressed. The Sharp logo is displayed while the set completes its boot up. For everything else (e.g., channel change, menus, volume, shutoff) the response is less than a second.

Almost instant, I have a 42 inch Vizio and have the same problem with it. Also, the Vizio is very slow starting up; the Sharp start up is a little better. I am not bothered by the slow remote response because I have cable and feed is almost instant on both with cable box.

There is a thread in avsforum dedicated to the xvt3 series. There have been some issues reported - RVR (random Vizio Reboot), Sets turning on by itself, occasional defective units. Not all TVs are affected and similar problems are not uncommon in other models. Vizio 's support has been prompt in most cases. Picture Quality wise - Vizio ranks highly - esp in pro reviews. There are the standard issues - blooming and some uniformity issues. Also the set does not handle 1080p/24 correctly according to pro reviews .. It uses 3:2 pulldown on 1080p/24 material (e.g. Blu Ray) which can lead to judder in some scenes,

Would any of you who own this TV please speak up your experience? I'm considering a buy until seeing this thread. Please help. Thanks. Luan

I replaced mine. It's not a good tv. especially the sound. My picture quit working after 4 months. It was replaced quickly. service was ok, but not a good tv.

I have had my Panasonic for about a month now and have had no flashing of any kind. I do find it a little slow connecting to a station but I believe that is my cable company as we have the same issues with our internet. I'm also still getting used to the size of the TV as I have been watching a 38" for so many years. I like the color on the 50" but we keep it mostly on the custom setting right now until we figure out how the other settings work with our vision. You know how us old people and change goes LOL.

Thank you very much for responding. You have confirmed that this seems to be an anomaly. I'll contact Vizio. Problem is this is a replacement unit for my first unit that had a bad USB port. Starting to lose faith.

To clarify, I called Vizio because I didn't get a premium set of glasses or the two sided remote. I also don't have as many connections on the back of my TV. They told me I had apparently gotten an older model. I could return it and try again, but I don't know if it is worth the hassle. I am curious about the apps. I saw one review that said theirs didn't have YouTube but mine does, also Skype. I don't have Pandora though. I am wondering what else I am missing.

Vizio sent techs to my home to replace components on the TV to fix this. It worked for about 1 week and has now failed again. They are now going to deliver a "recertified TV" as a replacement.Hopefully that fixes it, but after more than a year of supposed fixes, I am not optimistic...

The visio vht215 connects to the HDTV (not the dvd/video player), so when you select to watch a dvd the TV handles the transfer automatically thru the HDTV. I have a Vizio HD TV also and this is how it works, my player is not a vizio but a panasonic. The sould bar is fantastic!!

The response time is 6ms. I watched netflix on it without any problem. I'm not sure about playing games

Mine, 10 seconds, I had a bad experience, the TV would come on flash then I would have to remove bulb and reset TV, I ended up calling a TV repairman That cost me over $300. He told me if I went with the real (in my case mitsubishi) I would not have had a problem.

I would have to say yes as my vizio was about five years old.I no longer have my TV as a board inside went and it wasn't the remote after all.

I have this TV and do watch Amazon Instant on it since I have 'Prime'. I have never been impressed with Amazon's interface (not Vizio's fault), but it does work, and there is a button on the remote control for it.

I am having the same problem. The remote died about two weeks after we set the system up. I thought I was incompetent with the learning mode because I could not get it to work. I guess we are lucky that the buttons work.

I have had this TV about 4 months, and have loved it and then all of a sudden the screen went black. I called Vizio this morning, and they said they are aware that a small percentage of this TV has this problem because something is wrong with one of the boards inside and they said that they are going to deliver a brand new one in 8-13 business days and they will pick up the old one at the same time. No need for me to ship it back. I must say I am not happy with the TV messing up so soon, but I am quite satisfied with the way customer service handled it...

I found the buttons on the remote somewhat difficult to press and get a response. Also, you must get close and be absolutely direct, straight on, in pointing it. If it still doesn't work, contact the company. They have very good support and if they can't help you, will most certainly replace it.

Not very long at all, I bought mine, waited a few months before my Tv needed it and when I installed it, it lasted a day before my Tv said it needed to be replaced again. That's what you get for going cheap.
