HDTV and Home Theater Podcast - Podcast #440: Vizio XVT553SV LCD HDTV Review

Post by arad »

With football season just around the corner you may be in the market for a new HDTV to watch your favorite team try and make it to the Superbowl. We’ve seen a few technologies come and go and each of them try to produce a picture that’s as good as plasma. The latest is LED. The Vizio XVT553SV will run you about $1900 for the 55 inch version and its loaded with all kinds of goodies that we can finally say that Plasma may have finally met its match.

We just purchased this tv a week ago with the HD receiver from DirectTv just installed today. I am tweaking the picture settings per your recommendations but one thing I am unable to tweak at all is the Real Cinema Mode setting under Advanced Picture...will not let me choose this setting at all. Am I missing something? Thank you for the great review and great callibration settings (I like them better than CNet's already even with the Real Cinema Mode still set to "smooth"...more colorful).
