Vizio Complaint - Vizio? No! No! No! - Vizio 32" TV
Vizio 32" TV - Complaint
My 32" Vizio was purchased at Sam's Club on 05/30/10. The price was $588. On 06/26/11, a piercingly loud noise started, followed by vertical lines through the picture. The TV shut down before I could unplug it and is now dead. It will not power back on and since it was 27 days past the warranty cut-off, I have no recourse except to have it fixed at my expense. Given the number of owners who relate that after repair their Vizio stopped working again, I am not sure I want to throw more money at this situation. I have owned many TV sets in my life, but this was by far the shortest-lived. This is both frustrating and quite ridiculous...any company whose products have such inherent problems should address them and Vizio is obviously not concerned about their customers or reputation. While checking consumer reviews online for their products, it would seem that Vizio may even be employing people to hype their products and keep the money rolling in...I will never be a Vizio customer again, and while shopping for a new TV, I made sure to inform the store and the other customers present about my terrible experience with Vizio. I will continue to spread the word and hopefully prevent others from wasting their money with this company as well.

I think several members here have Vizio sets and are pleased with them.
If I were you, I would suck it up and buy a name brand. LCD's have come down quite a bit. It stinks to have to buy one so soon. Good luck whatever you do.

We bought our 32" Vizio Walmart Dec 2009, by Sept 2010 we had to turn on several times before it would stay on. We had the board replaced at our expense Jan 2011. Now Aug 2011 The TV comes on for 30 sec and turn off.
I am not going to go thru the frustration of contacting the company, by the reviews the calling customer service is usless. So I am trashing this TV and WILL NEVER purchase another Vizio product. Buying this TV was really wasted money, less than 2 yrs we have to purchase another set.
