http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0045TYDXC/ref=oss_product The Amazon product title is glitched "VIZIO 55?" it should be "VIZIO 554."

I don't have that model no. I have a 47LV5500 which I've had for several years and am completely satisfied. I'd suggest going to the LG site or read the description and the comparison section at the lower part of the Amazon page for the LG tv you are asking about. They compare all models and I made my decision for the LV5500 because of the higher contrast and refresh rate. one tv might have a contrast of 400,00 while a model for $100 more is rated at 4,000,000. that's picture quality and I'm satisfied with the LV5500.

I purchased the Square Trade warranty on mine when I ordered it here on Amazon. Since we haven't gotten past the first year, I haven't had a chance to utilize it yet. I have had a repair (a defect from the factory), but I think that was handled by Vizio themselves.Otherwise, the TV has been wonderful so far.

Here's a CNET link that discusses some of the differences: http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/panasonic-tc-p55gt30/4505-6482_7-34468658.html

733 and 734 basically same TV. 733 is sold at big box stores (Sams, et al). 734 sold from electronic retailers. May be slight difference in cable configurations.

Sorry, I can't answer that. I also had the Vizio CoStar but not at the same time and never owned a Viz TV.

the one being sold at costco is a XVT472SV the model without VIA (Vizio Internet Apps). This model is the SV472XVT which includes VIA and wifi + bluetooth remote. Ofcourse I could be wrong as the XVT472SV is showing up as $1349 on Cosctco's website. I do not see any mention of the SV472XVT on the Coscto website.

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

There is a thread in avsforum dedicated to the xvt3 series. There have been some issues reported - RVR (random Vizio Reboot), Sets turning on by itself, occasional defective units. Not all TVs are affected and similar problems are not uncommon in other models. Vizio 's support has been prompt in most cases.Picture Quality wise - Vizio ranks highly - esp in pro reviews. There are the standard issues - blooming and some uniformity issues. Also the set does not handle 1080p/24 correctly according to pro reviews .. It uses 3:2 pulldown on 1080p/24 material (e.g. Blu Ray) which can lead to judder in some scenes, There is a thread in avsforum dedicated to the xvt3 series.

Go to Vizio.com and get their support Number. I do not know but this TV has all the bells and whistles and seems to have everything.

My Vizio was $314.99 & the warranty was pricey. I, too, went to amazon & got a &349.99 warrantyfor $28.60. Can't explain the difference.

both the same specs, i bought the 42LV5500, but couldve saved $20 since the magic motion remote is free by amazon when you buy the 42LV5400 both have the wifi adapter. but i still love my decision, well worth the price. so right now the wise choice is to buy the 42LV5400 and get the special remote for free. this is a $1k tv for $700 not bad not bad

Its a very good question. Looks like this TV is 480Hz compared to 553 (240Hz) and probably has functioning USB ports (according to specs at least). Other than that I see no real difference for 2D pics.And there is the chance by implementing 3D, some 2D quality is compromised. (Of course it may have corrected some of 55s's issues also)I guess we have to wait to see whether 554 is better in 2D than 533. However if you are not interested in 3D, I don't see it being worth $500 extra .. However I think the prices for the 554 will be coming down further in the coming weeks/holiday season.

Is anybody else getting dizzy from all of the TVs being offered (such as Samsung and Sony, with Sony's recently dropping its price on the Sony Bravia 55HX800 to $1,401)? I was set to pull the trigger on this one, and then Vizio came out with the XV554 and then Sony dropped its prices, and and and... . I read a lot of comparison reviews on http://www.televisioninfo.com/d/reviews which seems to do a pretty straight up job of reviewing TVs (although Sony's a big advertiser there, so I'm necessarily suspicious of just how much objectivity there is). Any thoughts on how to navigate this thicket?

I went today to look at HDtv's. I saw both the 46XBR4 and the 3000W and another 3000? Sony. All I can say is that by far the XBR4 was crisper and brighter, it looked more like reality. They had ESPN-HD feed on from Direct-TV. Is the difference worth the price, that's something you have to decide. Go look at them, I saw them at CC. I actually spent a good hour in a recliner they had setup and just watched the 46XBR4 comparing it to the sets around it. This is the one I'm getting, it was simply the best picture constantly, even better than models bigger in size with 1080p. It really stood out in the finer details when next to the other sets.
