First off, ignore the people complaining about the TV they had shipped received as damage. That's a problem with the shipping service, not Vizio. Giving a TV a 1 star rating for a UPS screw up is absolutely stupid. Don't let those complaining of a buzz coming from the back ruin your chance at a great product. Some claim they can't even hear the voices of people on TV it's so loud - they're full of it. I have a subwoofer with an amp that makes a way louder buzzing sound that is completely inaudible with just a PC fan running. This TV has a tiny hum, not a BUZZ. You have to stick your head behind the TV with nothing else on to even hear it. It's just electricity and in no way signifies damage. Angry nerds will be angry nerds.

The panels are VA in the 40, but some larger models will be switching to IPS in the future (or already have?). Just google it. That's the problem with this TV though - most film is 24fps. Not just 'sensitive' users as they claim. Just know there are better sets for watching documentaries and movies.I can just put a USB dongle into the TV and use a wireless keyboard, and the only thing I really used it for was for putting in my Netflix login info. Having to make sure you have each input's calibrations right can be a pain, and would be pretty annoying for someone that just can't decide on which settings look best. I obsessed over my presets for longer than most anyone would care to, or that would even consider the difference to be worth the time consumed.The 40" i received has WAY better gray scale uniformity than what rtings.com reviewed it.

You have to stick your head behind the TV with nothing else on to even hear it. You wouldn't notice on a TV with hardly any settings to change, so really I'm quite satisfied with being able to bring the optimal picture, even to shows that may have filmed with a strangely warm filter added on top.

Do keep in mind they say each set of a different size will need to be calibrated differently, but you'll know how complicated of a task you're in for just by checking theirs for the 55" and 60". I have a separate one for regular PC viewing, PC gaming, Wii U gaming, TV watching, and Netflix.

When the source is a console like the original Wii, 480p upscaling handled by the display is pretty awful. Watching shows off Netflix seems to look better using the Smart App built in rather than using a PC and going to their site, if you're going to be viewing in 384p or 480p. For the shows I watch in that resolution on Netflix, with the noise cancelling options turned to high, even 384p looks great. 720p is pretty good for video games that are natively so; definitely better than my old 720p native television from 2009. 1080p is absolutely wonderful on this set.
