So you don't need to run one of those hard to conceal speakers wires from the TV.

In this case, wireless means that the subwoofer communicates with the TV in the 5.8GHz transmission range, which is the same as some cordless telephones. Perhaps the best part of this all-in-one setup is the wireless subwoofer. Also, when this HDTV senses that it is receiving a true 5.1 audio source, a red 5.1 illuminates inside the center channel grille. The only marking on the front is the VIZIO logo that lights up when the TV is plugged in. The control buttons are indented on the right side of the bezel. The screen is rimmed with a two inch black frame with the front and center speakers encased in the silver grille below. (The base can be removed if you wish to wall mount the unit.) When you lift open the box, you'll find the subwoofer and rear speakers neatly packed around the 120 pound TV, which comes with its stand attached. What you will receive is a little extra surround sound oomph to liven up a medium sized viewing room. So don't expect high end home theater audio performance out of this VIZIO system. You can see it here.)Īs for the speaker system, we recently returned from CEDIA, where companies were exhibiting foot tall A/V receivers and sculptural speakers for ten times the price of the whole JV50P kit and caboodle. (Editor's Note: We have posted a video review of this VIZIO HDTV. I will admit that I have seen other HDTVs with better image quality, but 50" plasmas in this price range and with this feature set are few and far between. Of course, I am not a staunch proponent of "resolution trumps all." Picture quality is still my measuring stick. If you like to toss numbers around, this VIZIO states a 15,000:1 Contrast Ratio, which does push it to the front of the line.

Even though it accepts 1080p and 1080i sources, they will be downscaled to 720p.

With a native resolution of 1366 x 768, this unit does not rival the newest class of 1080p plasmas. The JV50P is a prime example of that tactic. When you add in the TV's three integrated speakers, (left, center, and right), you have a complete 5.1 channel surround system.įor me the attraction of VIZIO is how they deliver on their tagline, "Where Vision Meets Value." Their strategy has been to make competitively priced products that may not be on the cutting edge of technology but are solid performers. This 50" Plasma comes bundled with a wireless subwoofer and two rear surround speakers. VIZIO has dubbed its new JV50P HDTV as "Jive" because you will be jumping and jiving to this all-in-one home theater package.
