480hz still has a 60hz refresh rate. READ THE BOX FRAIJ

, i know youwork at BB it says it on there something like "8 fields at 60hz" which still refresh at 60hz, it's just 8 dedicated fields VS one large field forthe entire screen. the 800u can offer 48hz refresh but it ain't the best...some pioneers offered 65hz at one points.

120hz / 240hz have a 120 240 frames per second for one large field..the XBR7 sony offers 240hz but not LED. Pricey

More often than not at the January Consumer Electronics Show, manufacturers refuse to divulge pricing information until closer to the product's launch later in the year, usually citing vague competitive reasons. Not Vizio. The bargain flat-panel brand isn't shy about pricing, especially when the price is as good as this.

The Vizio VF551XVT represents a new low price point for LCD-based HDTVs with LED backlights. This 55-inch HDTV will cost a mere $1,999 when it hits store shelves in June.

Compared with current 55-inch LED models such as the Samsung LN55A950 and the Sony KDL-55XBR8, which sell for at least $3,500 and $6,500 respectively, the Vizio's price is groundbreaking. It puts LED backlight technology within the realm of affordability for big screen flat-panel shoppers. We can't wait to see how this set performs, but if it provides the same kind of picture quality improvements of current LED TVs, it will be a very good bargain.

LED backlights like the one on the Vizio VF551XVT, as well as on the Sony and Samsung models cited above, use "local dimming" technology, which turns off or dims the backlight in dark areas while leaving it turned-on in brighter areas. The result is significantly improved black-level performance, a major ingredient in picture quality.

Vizio also hit the other big feature buzzword with this model, endowing it with a 240Hz refresh rate. Compared with standard 120Hz with dejudder processing, the extra Hz supposedly improve picture smoothness. The company has said it's improved its dejudder processing over the 120Hz SV470XVT we reviewed last year. Vizio is touting the set's antiglare screen and improved viewing angles, and includes an integrated sound bar with simulated surround capability.

The set also offers a USB input that can play back MPEG-2, H.264, WMV9 Video, along with JPEG photos and MP3 music files, and the company throws in a USB thumbdrive with a preloaded 1080p video.

240hz!

I got a Samsung ln52a650 with 120hz and that looks crystal clear. I cant imagine this vizio
 
I'm going to wait on the reviews because Vizio gets very iffy reviews. If it's good I'd def get a 46 inch. 55 would be just a little toooooo bigfor my room. Considering the the price of the Samsung and Sony it's a sick deal. I mean ouside of LED, the only new thing they got out is OLED and Laserwhich are both going to be overly expensive for the next few years.
 
I forgot to mention...this TV will also have a built in SOUND BAR...which should closely imitate true surround sound

When I read Vizio reviews at CNET and some on the AVS forums. They usually say there is either bleeding of colors sometimes. And the enginedoesn't clean up as well as the Bravia engine does, or the Kuro engine. But Hey 2k for a 55 inch LED. I mean just because it's LED it's worth it. Now add the 240 mhz. Plus it is using a Samsung screen from what I read on the AVS forum. Meaning it's a good screen. So let's just see how theirnew engine + refresh rate works with this new model.
 
Enh Samsung 8 - 9 Series > Any Vizio that will ever come out in the history of Jesus people.
