Features:

When looking to get a new TV now days the one thing that everyone is looking for is that the TV offers 1080p HD, which provides you with real life look and feel of the most important shows and events. Another feature that is essential now days when looking to get that perfect HDTV is if it comes with 120Hz or better smooth motion technology. This amazing technology cleans up those fast past action movies so that everything doesn’t just look like a blur. When talking about today’s movies this is something that is a must have for any big time movie watcher or anyone who wants to make that perfect theater room without spending a ton of extra money. When it comes to contrast ratio the Vizio VF550XVT1A falls a little short with only 50,000:1 of the possible 100,000:1 on some of our top ranked LCD TVs.

Picture quality is the most important feature on a TV and right next to picture is the quality of sound you’re getting from it. Vizio has added SRS TruSurround HD so everyone in the room feels like they have their own personal theater surround sound. This works by taking an encoded source such as Dolby digital and reproducing the multi-channel surround sound effect with just the speakers from your TV instead of from a 5.1 surround sounds system. While this isn’t quite as good as an actual surround sounds system, it is a lot cheaper in the long run. Along with SRS TruSurround HD the Vizio VF550XVT1A also comes with a feature called SRS TruVolume, which simply allows you to set the volume once and forget about it, the next commercial break is not going to louder than the movie you are watching with this great new feature.

Those of you who want to get the most out of your HDTV will find that the Vizio VF550XVT1A has all the input and output ports for anything you want. You’ll find 4 HDMI ports, S-Video, RBG, Internet Tuner and any others you might need to hook up your Blu-ray player, Xbox 360 and even connect to your computer.

Summary:

The Vizio VF550XVT1A is a great HDTV for anyone looking to get a base model with a few extras for better performance. The only real drawback to this TV is that you are not going to get the best contrast ratio and the response time is a little less than average at 5 seconds. While there are a few drawbacks the Vizio VF550XVT1A is priced right and is going to make anyone happy.
