Any input as to how this tv holds up over time mounted in a trailer or RV?

this is the 2nd one I've had in the 2nd 5th wheel. the first one worked great for about 1.5 yrs (till I sold the trailer, I expect its still working) traveled about 10-12k miles, mostly highway. liked it so much I bought another for new trailer, but decided it was to small for living room so moved it to bedroom put a 32" in living room. to be honest havent used it since it was moved to bedroom.

We mounted this in our RV on one of those swivel arm mounts and it worked pretty well. CO to WA and back. 3k miles. Only problem was that while driving it was too quiet for the kids to hear over the engine/road noise. A set of head phones and long extentions from Walmart fixed that.In the campgrounds, picked up channels fine and played DVDs just fine. Good picture quality and sound. Controls are easy to use and CD insert is located intellegently.For the price - perfect.

Hi, The TV is excellent. Very good quality for a non "name brand". I will gladly purchase another one when this one dies.

I've had one in my Airstream trailer for the last three years and it's worked out well. No problems.

I have had one mounted in my sailboat for just over a year. So far, so good.

I have had mine on 3 trips in 3 months in my trailer and it has been working great. My daughter loves watching her cartoons on it. The picture is great, the sound is fine. Doesn't seem to use too much power, runs great on DC or AC.

I am not familar with that model tv,but I did mount a Samsung 55" 3D Led and a Sony 60" led with no problem at all.The mount is one of the most heavy duty I have seen in this price range.It will hold up to 150 lb tv with the stardard mounting holes.They are adjustable to meet VESA specs.I hope this helps.

I have had this TV for over a year. Its been a really nice tv. I move it around in my house a lot so I have to unplug it and plug it back in and its a piece of cake. The picture is very nice and it was a good price too. I would buy this TV again if I needed one this size. I would recommend it to others too. Not sure why it wouldn't have high reviews?? Its a great tv!

Thanks, guys, for the info. I'm still kicking it around and have about 3 more weeks to decide. I'll check out Warrantech for sure. BTW, the TV is awesome.

vilasgn,I also took the gamble with a used-very good. The tv showed up 2 days ago, and it looks great, like brand new. We can't figure out what's supposed to be wrong with it, for them to take off $300, but I am glad I went for it. Fingers crossed you'll have the same experience I did.

I don't have any sugh issues with this tv and I have had it for a half year.

I own it and it is mostly fine. After a move a few years ago, a yellow line runs down the middle that is only really noticeable on blue backgrounds. It runs hot and is an energy hog (200w) compared to current LCD tvs. Also the contrast and resolution is not as sharp as current tvs even at 720p. The remote only works if you point it at the lower right corner of the TV, where the sensor is. 40" tvs are $300 new (with better specs), so I hope you get a good deal.

I use it with a PS3 as a tv replacement and so far it has been great. I feel the image quality is better than the one of my previous 46" LCD.

As for reliability, this is a very reliable TV, I have had it for few months and had no issue with the TV, as for phasing out, I am not sure about that, I guess Vizio will have to answer that question. If you plan to get a reliable and affordable TV, this is it. (I am not a Vizio representative)

YES! very reliable, I've taken this TV all over the west coast as i use it in teaching presentations where a projector can't be used. we also use it in our guestroom when it's not on the road.

I had the same issues with my 55 inch TV, it was pretty sketchy mounting my tv but its up now.......

Depends on mounting and viewers position but anything less than 80 degrees distorts the picture. Great little TV for RV

It holds up to 40 pounds max. So it would depend mostly on the weight of the TV.

The documentation said it could hold up to a 70 inch TV. It's plenty strong, so 70 shouldn't be a problem.

TV is easy to slide in & out of mount, tilted facilitates viewing and full articulation. It's the real deal for trailer camping/home and at a price which is tops!

Mine too, after about a year. Seems to be common for this TV. Mine could not be cost effectively repaired.

I did some price checking before purchasing and found the price to be good and in the ballpark for this TV. We have it sitting inside an entertainment center so did not use any wall brackets, etc. Hope this helps.
