Problem solved. The crappy Visio went back and I got the Samsung 6500 model which is 1080, 120 refresh, and whether or not I ever use it - 3D capable. While at the store, I compared other 60hz sets to see that the Sonys and Samsungs were still all better than the Vizios.

Right out of the box the PQ was incredible and needed no adjustments besides a small boost in the backlighting. USB worked great and there are 3 inputs. Wired and Wireless setup was a snap but here is where Vizio has the edge. They use a generic DNLA client so it sees whatever server you are running. Samsung wants you to install their own server, Allshare.

The sound is way better too. A couple more watts and better drivers.

After watching the football games, we watched Total Recall from an MP4 copy on USB and was surprised how good it was.

Oh well, I knew from the beginning I wasn't going to be happy with the cheaper TV and double the money DOES get you double the quality all around. Even though I have always been a Sony consumer for TVs, Samsung has wormed it's way in by default sisnce Sony does not have a 32" Smart TV. But they are of similar quality.

I highly recommend the Samsung 32" 6500 model if you are looking for a small Smart TV.
