Released October, 2010
Rated 100% by by Peter-Ainslie--Deftones99 (Jul, 2011)The picture is so crisp and with the refresh rate being so high it is like you are right there with the characters on the tv.
Rated 100% by by B.-Schoolmeyer (Sep, 2012)Streaming 3D movies from Vudu is pretty cool, as well as the Netflix, Amazon and YouTube app.

XVT3D Series by D.-Becker (Aug, 2011)All I really need to say is that I am totally impressed with the quality of the 3D picture with the matching Vizio active shutter glasses (I got a set of 2 for $124).
M3D Series by Kim-Cuong (Dec, 2012)I only wish Vizio could increase the screen size to more than 70 inches.
