The pc sold from vizio.com doesn't come with any bloatware. Will this version have any excess software? What exact software is prie installed?

Basically when they say there is no bloat ware, there is no software that is try to buy/sell software. Internet explorer is there, I do not believe there was any trial anti virus or internet protection. All that was present was the basic functioning windows 8 with basic apps such as mail and messaging. It is a very functional platform and easy to add your own software without having to uninstall all the added stuff

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.

The regular vizio co-star is a Google tv device. Meaning it is running a dumbed down version of Android. But you also can use it as a cable box pass through, so you can Google search your cable TV. You obviously get netflix, Amazon prime and a few apps available to you, the remote has a full qwerty keyboard it it's overall a pretty sweet deal. However.. Google tv is in a weird place with hulu+ last I knew it still wasn't available. The co starLT is essentially vizios smart tv bundled into a set top box. You get vizio apps, netflix Amazon and hulu+ you get a basic web browser, the remote is much simpler and has no keyboard. It has a HDMI passthrough much like the Google tv but doesn't seem to add any sort of functionality to your tv watching experience like the Google tv. For standalone streaming the lt is the better device. To enhance your cable tv experience, the Google tv co star is going to be king.

No set up needed! I bought a $12 Vizio remote with the Qwerty key board on the back from Amazon and it work perfect on my 40" Vizio internet HDTV. In fact it is much better than the remote that came with the TV. The stock remote (no key board on back) had to be pointed right at the bottom left corner of the TV to work, while the new one just has to be pointed in the general area to work and the keyboard is sooo nice to use make searching faster and a pleasant experience.

Nope...nothing like that to report here; picture quality remains good. Sadly, it still sports a slow and mediocre tuner (I don't use a cable box) and the Vizio Apps, which I had assumed would grow to include more top shelf streaming options and a browser option, continues to disappoint.

I must have missed this. Vizio sound bars are very common (Costco). The fact that Sony doesn't support it is a major oversight. I'll have to send mine back. Tried the learn code on the remote and it doesn't find a match. Vizio is listed on the TV, just not audio. Too bad.

It's not listed as one of their available or 'coming soon' apps... http://vizio.com/via/

Anybody have a thumb drive to fix Vizio sound issue? Webpage says it is unavailable. After watching for about an hour, sound gets distorted. Other than that, a great bedroom tv. Or , if anyone had the same issue and solved it, please let me know. Have tried every option on tv audio menu.

To be honest, I'm not sure...but I believe not. However, the work-around would be to uninstall the trackpad driver likely rendering it unusable. This may prompt you to install a new driver all the time though. Sorry I can't be of more help. A little advice though, 1080p laptops are much more common now, find a different brand/model, this Vizio is no longer a bargain...and of course the trackpad sucks.

XKTtsueercrr is the Seller. Looks like with Visio and ASUS, they sell all kinds of models. I thought I bought the wrong thing, but the case if for external use. I bet you could install it internally by removing the case, but I wouldn't. They do have a web site you can go to by the same name. I looked and the Blu-ray wasn't listed. You can contact them through email. I can't do everything for you.

Yes Katie it does. However, I would stay away from this particular model. I had 2 of them in a row and both had the same significant issue. BUT I do have a friend that bought the 42" 1080p of this series from Vizio and is now enjoying it very well. So there is a probably either in a whole batch of the Vizio 32" E Series or the whole 32" E Series. It is sad because the Netflix app is the BEST I have seen on any streaming device!!!!

Be Careful I bought this from Costco because there is an extra year of warranty. I had it 2 months and it just died. Well they sent a replacement and the new TV does NOT have Amazon Prime, which is what I used the most. Thanks Vizio I'm trying to get a replacement for the TV, so that I can continue to use Amazon Prime

So far, Vizio has not released any firmware updates for this TV. And I do not expect them to ever do it, since they completely abandoned this model, sadly. The "Smart TV" apps are a lost cause, but at least they could update the aspect ratio modes, to include some useful ones that don't require the TV to guess the black bars (often incorrectly, or hampered by station logos)

I purchased a 60 inch Vizio a week ago and it does have an app for Amazon Prime and it works fine. However, I do like the Roku app better - plus the Roku has many more apps - I may add a Roku to this TV even though the TV does have the wireless interface. Mike K.

I agree with M. Barnes. Probably little difference between the two. Check Vizio's webpage at http://store.vizio.com/. Compare the two models tech specs and narrow your choice that way.

I just got off the phone with Amazon support and was told the the app for the M470i-A2 was in development and has not been released yet. I was told that I would receive an email when the app for the tv has been released. It sounded like this applies to most or all 2014 Vizio tv's.

The firmware for the VM230XVT is now on the Vizio website, under product page -> Support. I was having the distorted sound problem, and I applied the firmware to my TV, and it fixed the problem.
