Have it. Def only internet is wireless. I don't think you'll see wireless HDMI anytime soon, Mary, sorry....hadn't heard about that, and haven't heard of wireless HDMI, period.. If someone tries to sell you a TV with wireless HDMI, maybe stay away. unless I missed a very important memo, anyone else feel free to correct me!... That said, The wireless I think if or she was talking about the internet capabilities. You can hook it up with a cable or it does have a very fast internal wireless router too. I use the wireless and its easy, very quick, depending on your internet speed, and super convenient, so I have more room for cables on my internet router. I have Att u-verse and so I asked them for I wireless router mainly because our computer and printer are upstairs, but both can use WiFi so I was going to plug everything in down stairs where the router is, but when I found out the TV had the fastest to date 802.11 WiFi, I just went to network options on my tv's guide, and just type in your password for your internet, just like you would for a computer, and good to go. It also will update firmware and programs on the TV automatically, which is good if they are fixing an existing issue or whatever. But no. There is no wireless HDMI in the near to further future... Sorry. TV is crazy awesome though!

Hello I purchased this and had issues with the IR sensor. So returned it and bought "Kinivo 501BN Premium 5 port High speed HDMI switch with IR wireless remote and AC Power adapter - supports 3D, 1080p". This worked perfectly and is still working without a hitch. I have my Google Chrome, Blue Ray, DISH, and projector hooked up to this and the switch between these devices is a easy remote click away. Hope this helps.

Tried that, it really didn't work for me. Router worked amazingly well for 3 weeks or so, then I started having to reset it about once a week, now it's just plain stupid, I can sit here and watch it lose the signal and regain it 2 or 3 times a minute during the worst episodes. Calling tech support was a joke, they sent someone out to replace the wireless board in my Vizio TV! I'm very happy with my Vizio TV, but as soon as I get my new ASUS router delivered, this Vizio router's going to the recycling bin.

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

I'm really not sure. On the description for the wifi dongle your model isn't listed and everywhere I looked it said your TV should have come with a wifi dongle. Worse case scenario buy it and return it I suppose. I can't find anything about the particular wifi dongle for your TV though.

I hooked it up on a older Blu Ray Dvd player that didn,t have wireless built in to it using one of its hdmi ports and connected to my wireless router and it works fine.

Is anybody else getting dizzy from all of the TVs being offered (such as Samsung and Sony, with Sony's recently dropping its price on the Sony Bravia 55HX800 to $1,401)? I was set to pull the trigger on this one, and then Vizio came out with the XV554 and then Sony dropped its prices, and and and... . I read a lot of comparison reviews on http://www.televisioninfo.com/d/reviews which seems to do a pretty straight up job of reviewing TVs (although Sony's a big advertiser there, so I'm necessarily suspicious of just how much objectivity there is). Any thoughts on how to navigate this thicket?

I had been hoping that the speakers were wireless myself. The sales "pitch" was that it was wireless. My understanding is it IS wireless insofar as streaming Netflix and others, follow? In other words, it connects to your wireless router so whatever you obtain through your computer for your watching pleasure can be channeled into it. Mine is HDMI'd to my flat screen - required. Therefore, wires are required to the TV and to the Speakers. It seems I'm stuck with speaker wires afterall. Maybe the future holds a home theater system with wireless speakers or expensive as hell at this time... I wish I could help you more but for the price? I'm satisfied!

I don't know what the names of the HDMI cables are. If you go to the Vizio site, the user manual for this model shows a picture of the HDMI ports as well as the other ports available.

I bought that one as well and returned it. From what i gathered in the emails I received was that not all devices that support slimport do so with vga. I went with the hdmi version for my nexus and it worked perfectly until a student broke it.

My understanding is that it's supposed to take the output form any hdmi and transmit it wirelessly. As long as the computer display and an HDMI out, it should work.

VHT510 has been discontinued by Vizio, so you are most likely getting a refurbished unit. You might want to ask if it is Vizio re-certified it or it was a 3rd party. I have bought 2 of these one was all problems the other worked perfectly.

Nope. Sent mine right back after I spent hours trying to get it to work, hours trying to contact Vizio, then they casually tell me I needed firmware, like I should know that. If I needed it, they should have sent it with the TV !!! I figured this would be only the first of many problems with an inferior product marketed by sloppy manufacturers. Idiots!

No....It only comes with the Etekcity 3 Port HDMI Switch Box, The Remote and The External IR Receiver. Honestly, I Would Recommend The "Kinivo 301BN Premium 3 port High speed HDMI switch" with IR wireless remote and AC Power adapter - supports 3D, 1080p. Hope this information helps.

Call vizio support, they will be able to help you. Maybe your firmware is not update. My son is playing Xbox connected to it, without any problems. By the way are you able to connect your laptop to it as may be your settings need to be tweaked.

I never got an answer, but I was never successful getting the feature to work with my new receiver so I'm *pretty* sure that the TV doesn't have one. It hasn't bothered me since I barely need the feature [I watch youtube, etc. with my new wireless Samsung Blu-Ray and no longer from the TV's wi-fi], but I'll probably pick up a TOS optical cable to run from the TV to the receiver eventually.
