Will this new Vizio be HDMI 1.4 to handle 3-D? Just wondering if you will be able to view 3-D on the new line?

If it can do 3D then it can also do a minimum of 4k at 30hz. Here is a good chart for comparison of the different versions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_comparison

Most 3D TVs are 1080p, not 4K. But yes 4K is desirable for 3D, however be aware that unfortunately HDMI standard does not allow to carry 3D and 4K at the same time: it's one or the other. In other words the maximum resolution for 3D content over HDMI 1.4 is 1080p. This limitation is lifted in HDMI 2.0 I think, but very very few TVs/players support this just released version.

Go to MonoCable.com and read the detail on 1.4v. They explain the difference between them well. You'll also find great cable at a very good price. I have this receiver hooked up to a Samsung 7000 60" TV and a bluray player that are both 3D. With the 1.4a it works like a champ!http://www.monoprice.com/

Higher Hz, a newer model, 3-D and the reviews of the 553sv mentoned Blooming. I was hoping that Vizio worked out this kink.

1. Yes, you need a 3-D TV.2. Buy something else. I returned mine. Sound perfrmance was OK - but this thing was a terrible pain in the butt to deal with. Couldn't see spending several years being frustrated and angry. Try a Pioneer HTP-071 instead - that's what i got.

You can watch regular TV or 3D. My TV is set to recognize the 3 D function.

It does have 3D. I'm not familiar with 2D or a conversion. So I'm thinking your question is, "Does it convert 2D into 3D?", and I don't think so. I'm sure VIZIO's web site can provide this answer.

This TV supports 3D movies that utilize the new 3D format. What you WILL NEED is an HDMI 1.4a certified cable. (roughly $13-$15)Good (and affordable) source is Other World Computing.Sony 3D players remain questionable as Sony is seeking a different 3D format. (I haven't checked recently, Sony may have complied with the new standard)

I'd say it's defective as well. However, what device(s) do you have hooked to it? If you are trying to use 3D over it, it shouldn't work as this device is HDMI v1.3b and not v1.4. If you have multiple devices hooked to it, unhook all but one and try the different ports, it could just be a faulty port or even a bad cable. This is a great little device, I put mine in place in early 2013 and have 3 devices hooked to it, a dvr, a blueray player and a computer. I have never had too look at it again, it just keeps on working. Even if it is defective, I'd try another one because of the low price.

I wish they'd add this detail to all the 4k's screens. I've heard too many stories about these only supporting 30 fps because they only have hdmi 1.4 or 1.5 or something.

UPDATE: I was able to get in touch with a Vizio rep with some detailed info. He stated that the first round of shipments to Amazon have been completed and that they have them in stock. He said that Vizio will give them the green light to go live very shortly....no later than the middle of August. He confirmed the demand is extremely high for the 553....can't wait. I have the TV stand ready/Blu-Ray player ready and DirecTV on speed dial.

All I did was, run the whole 'operation' by utilizing a BlueRigger High Speed HDMI 6.6 ft cable with ethernet which supported the 3D and audio return. I just connected them to the appropriate slots/openings both on the Vizio 3D 65' HDTV and the Sony surround sound product. Other than that, simply nothing! And it is functioning like a dream with robust, quality sound. Hope this helps. OFK.

Good info, totally makes sense. Im excited for the 3D and all that but I am also looking forward to the 240Hz in 24" and at the price as there is currently nothing like that now. Will probabaly have to use a different Blu-Ray player for movies to have that smooth look to them as I don't think the PS3 can play movies past 60Hz. Still curious how it looks. I personally like smaller HD screens and am curious how it will look.

My vsx-1020 does work for broadcast 3D (which requires HDMI 1.4a) with my DirecTV HR24 satellite receiver. It also works for 3D games on my Sony PS3 game console.

Just got off the phone with Vizio Support after I connected my New Vizio VBR135 3D Smart Blu-ray Player with Wireless Internet Application to my New Vizio 60" HDTV and my New Vizio Sound Bar and the sound works fine with the Player but there is no picture and GUESS what? Vizio does not produce any more DVD/Blu Ray players anymore and hasn't produced them for over a year now and if you buy one now the firmware is not compatible with the new Blu Ray or 3D formats, GO FIGURE. So I asked them why are there players out there on the market? They said that sellers are trying to off load them for quick cash and WE the purchasers will have to deal with the return/refund headaches if you can even get a refund. So I'm going to say this again "BUYERS BEWARE, DO NOT BUY A VIZIO DVD/BLU RAY/3D Player", Vizio does not produce them anymore. You have been warned.
