The first is 9 years old, the second 8 and the newest 4. I use the newest as my PC monitor, Apple TV and my sports TV. No problem switching inputs.

This model has serious flaws and they won't see them until they purchase the TV. Despite the claims by the Vizio representatives here and elsewhere, Vizio is not like other TVs and this problem is unique to Vizio.

I have both a Samsung and Vizio, and the "off" feature exists on both. The Samsung has all of Vizio settings plus more, so you may not like it either. If I leave the TVs on with no input source, they will turn off. I like this feature, because when I turn my PC off the TV will automatically go off. When I turn my PC on, the TV will automatically come on. Dunno why anyone would dislike that.<br /><br />Your issues seem to be technical problems. It might be more accurate to say that the TV is not for idiots who are less technical lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171329738311794615.post-15341432941522530592012-10-09T16:28:05.781-07:002012-10-09T16:28:05.781-07:00I've owned a Vizio 42" for 6 years, it...I've owned a Vizio 42" for 6 years, it's still working great, just bought a Vizio 55" 3d for my daughter, and the picture blows my 42" away.
