Netflix works EXCELLENT (best feature of the thing in my opinion!)...see cons though below.
-
The interface is good, and the quick access buttons on the remote for Netflix & other streaming services is a nice feature
-
The features of this low cost Blu Ray player are quite good for its price, with nice Blu Ray movie playback and equally nice internet based apps pre-installed
-
Buttons on remote like Amazon and Netflix is a great feature
-
The features on this player are great, but what use are they if the player is unreliable

If your one of those people that likes to complain about really bright lights, you're going to really hate this player and should move along to something else

The lights on the front are bright but they do not bother me either

Reviews around firmware (5.00 of 5)
-
The player had a firmware update available for it, and it updated with the push of a button, restarted itself, and then it was ready to go
-
Unlike others who have written reviews, I purchased this product recently after a good many firmware updates were available for this unit.
-
I power-cycled it and when it powered back up it immediately let me know there was a firmware update available
-
I have seen that other people have updated their firmware and it works just fine
-
The problem with this player is there are no firmware updates available.

Reviews around tv (4.53 of 5)

I still like my VIZIO TV, but they failed completely with this model of BD player
-
I purchasd a Vizio 42" tv for myself, loved it and saved enough to buy a Vizio bluray player also, then did the same for my daughter and her family.
-
We love our Vizio tv and thought we'd try a Blu Ray player through Vizio also
-
I still like my VIZIO TV, but they failed completely with this model of BD player
-
We really like the idea of sticking with Vizio as we just bought a 1080p 120hz LCD TV of theirs and love it, but if we don't get a resolution soon this one is going back as well and we'll have to try another company's blu-ray.

Reviews around tech support (4.49 of 5)
-
This time tech support had me reboot the player..unplug, drain charge, plug back in.
-
One more call to tech support tomorrow and then back in the box and back to
-
That's good since the main problem seems to be with Vizio tech support.
-
Tech support ran through the basics but failed
-
Called tech support twice and they were pretty much trying to blame it on the Apps ( netflix, Hulu, blockbuster..etc)It would never stay connected to my router and once I got it to finally connect, as soon as I started a app then it would disconnect immediately

Reviews around netflix (4.42 of 5)
-
Netflix works great and the keyboard really helps on those searches
-
Netflix is a little slower than the browser version of Netflix, but it's faster than the PS3 version
-
It upscales DVDs to 1080p and plays beautiful Netflix video (I have it hooked up over ethernet, but it works at full Wireless N speed as well
-
Netflix especially works well,with good search functions and good quality playback, much better than what my Wii can do

I understand this is not the highest end netflix ready player on the market, but when I pay good money for something I do expect it to work right out of the box

Reviews around app (4.03 of 5)
-
Not Vizio's fault, but the apps are just clunky
-
I use the amazon prime app all the time and it works fabulously
-
On the occasion it does work, the apps are nice and it has decent video quality.
-
After I returned this player, I bought a Sony BDP-S580 on sale from Target for the same price as this one and it has a ton more apps than this Vizio player can shake a stick at, PLUS internet access
-
Still works fine, apps are just a bit old school i.e. no auto streaming on Netflix.

Reviews around time (3.83 of 5)

The player worked great the first time it was turned on.

Customer support had me reset the player, every time I'd call.

I wouldn't waste my time on another device from this manufacturer

There are a million other internet Blu Ray players out there, don't waste your time on this one.

Reviews around quality (3.68 of 5)
-
I think this is poor quality product...... having to do this from time to time just to access your Apps is not acceptable in my opinion
-
Wireless N built in (cheapest player with it) Great video quality and sound
-
Netflix especially works well,with good search functions and good quality playback, much better than what my Wii can do
-
Much has changed over the last year and a number of better quality Blu-Ray players are out now for around the price of this player
-
It's much better to buy something of better quality that will last and better quality is often reflected in the price

Reviews around product (3.32 of 5)
-
It appears that this VIZIO product has some major internal design/software issues.
-
I've had the product for about a month now, and so far I can't really complain about it
-
When you select a product to "complain" about from the drop-down menu, it is not even in any sort of order.

I really enjoyed this product when it worked correctly.

This Vizio player has been fraught with problems since we bought it and set it up.

Other than this, it's a good player, just frustrated with this lack of good software

Reviews around thing (2.37 of 5)
-
(One thing I'll note here is that I actually like the Netflix App on this player better than I do on the Roku as you get more results and also categories that aren't randomly changing or disappearing
-
Not to mention it is SO slow!Only thing I like is the keyboard on the remote
-
The other thing it has done is simply freeze up, just like a computer might on occasion.
-
The best thing is that Amazon has an excellent service department
-
The first thing I noticed odd was that while navigating through the Netflix menus it would suddenly freeze up and power off

Reviews around dvd (2.05 of 5)
-
As I write this review, its skipping and freezing while playing a spotless Dvd
-
The wort part is a perfectly fine DVD is now stuck inside the worthless little box
-
a few weeks I noticed that my DVD's were getting scratches and burn marks, none of which I notice before
-
It identifies the disk as a DVD and then the unit freezes on the blue screen with Vizio logo.
-
DVD/VCR combo(that still works) because they can be had for between $

The other reviews that say this machine is slow and noisy are correct

I read the bad reviews before purchasing this machine and

If I have problems I'll update my review but so far, so good.
-
I've read another review on here suggesting that I first return to the main menu before shutting it down...but that only works maybe one out of a dozen times

Kind of strange to see all of these negative reviews claiming issues that I have never seen

Reviews around advertise (1.95 of 5)
-
My problem is the false advertising and lack of a real responce from Vizio other than "It's not false advertising on the box, amazon prime is coming eventually"
-
I for one would love a Spotify and/or Rhapsody App so I can use the unit to stream "on-demand" music as well as "on-demand" moviesOn the good side, the unit has a built in Wireless receiver that supports 801.11 B/G and N speeds.
-
That's false advertising and it means you cannot trust Vizio.
