I bought a XVT3D474SV (Top of Vizio's 3D Line of Flatscreen TV's) in July of 2011, in September of 2012 the TV went out, at first it was no picture but sound worked, then it was No Picture, No Sound, and since then it has been in and out of Repair Shops to the present day being nothing more than a Paperweight, granted I should have bought an Extended Repair plan, HOWEVER, when you drop a grand or more on a TV set, a normal person would expect it to last more than a 13 months. Called Customer Service, and though most of them are pleasant on the phone, they will no only try to downgrade your purchase, but offer you a lesser model (Features, screen size, at a so called reduced price, in my case, 50 bucks off a Refurbished Model with free shipping) If you buy a Vizio, buy a EXTENDED WARRANTY, because these TV's are prone to failures, (Google it) I am amazed that people haven't gotten together and filed a class action lawsuit against Vizio for making such junk.
