Customer Reviews For VIZIO VBR200W Full HD Blu-ray Player with VIZIO Internet Apps (VIA)

Pandora is great, everything great, very happy
 
Review Date: March 24, 2010
Reviewer: G. Ng,
Great player, very happy.

PRO's:
1. Very easy to set up - plug it in and it works
2. Pandora is awesome! I had to go with a wired connection as the wifi would drop out now and then (I have the same problem with my Apple TV so it's not the unit) but once I went wired it was perfect. I have ATT Uverse and they gave me for free the ethernet plug ins that turn your interior electric cable into a wired connection. Also, when you stream Pandora you do not have commercials like you do on the computer.
3. Netflix streaming is pretty cool, though the image quality is about as good as an analog TV station. But it's free "all you can eat" movies so who's to complain?
4. The sound is incredible on movies. It sends the signal in PCM format to my Pioneer VSX 1019 and the sound is so powerful I actually had to put the amp on Auto Level Control because the explosions and such were so lifelike. Even my wife, who could care less, commented that the sound was a major improvement from my DVD player.
5. Picture quality is Blu Ray - you set the player to HDMI Auto and it automatically gives you the best picture quality and aspect ratio based on the disc. You can also pick your own resolution.
6. Interface on the screen is pretty easy - when it turns on you can choose between Pandora, VUDU, Nexflix, or Disc (as well as setup, etc). Intuitive interface.

CON's
1. Batteries were dead!
2. No HDMI cable as advertised on Amazon, but the box states you only get regular cables so it's an Amazon issue.
3. Logitech Harmony universal remote doesn't recognize this unit yet so you will need the included remote to navigate. Harmony does the basics but is missing a critical "go back" button so once you are in an app (ie Pandora) you cannot return to the main menu without the main remote. I'm sure this will be fixed by Logitech.

CONCLUSION: I love it!

The Player was easy to set up. Blu-Ray disks load quick. Wireless networking was quick and easy to set up as well. I have not played with the apps much yet. I am disappointed that it did not come with am HDMI cable as it states in the description. I was also hoping for a QWERTY keyboard like the VIA enableed VIZIO TV's Come with. Over all so far i am happy with the product.
So far, working great.

I ordered this player on March 23rd and it arrived to my house on March 26th.
Took about 5 minutes to set up. I dont like the remote control at all, thats
my only complaint so far. Found my network, connected immediately. Within a few
minutes i was streaming Netflix. That evening, I ordered a movie from VUDU and the
picture was incredible. Next night, ordered another VUDU movie and again, no issues
at all.
Sorry to hear that so many people are having issues with this player. Like I said,
so far, its working great.
Awesome!
 
Review Date: April 1, 2010
Reviewer: Teresa L. Wharton, Cumberland, MD
I have been anxiously waiting for this new player and as some of the bad reviews came in I became a bit nervous. Well I received mine last night and I love it!

It was easy to set up, the picture quality is amazing, Pandora couldn't be easier to use, both VUDU & Netflix are quite simple to use, found my wifi instantly.

I put my own batteries in from the start to avoid the battery hassle.

If you don't have a high def resolution television I'm not sure why you would buy this product. It would seem that some of the bad reviews don't necessarily have the new tv's with great resolution; thus their problem- Blu Ray is meant for great picture quality but that starts with your tv.

If you have a good tv, you will love this product.
Great Blu-ray AND for under $200
 
Review Date: April 8, 2010
Reviewer: S. Keith,
I wanted a quality blu-ray player with wifi capability at a good price - check, check, and check. In fact, at the beginning of my search, I did not anticipate finding such a player for under $200.

Set-up: Done with no hassle in less than 10 minutes from time of taking it out of the box to streaming off of Netflix.

Wifi: The player instantly picked up my router and was streaming all the apps with no problem.

Picture (played on 720p): Blu-ray DVDs look fantastic, regular DVDs and Vudu/Netflix streamed movies both look better than DVDs played on my regular DVD player.

Remote: Cheap, but sufficient.

The player itself is very quiet and looks fantastic. The blu-ray and regular DVDs I have played so far, have done so instantly and played beginning-to-end flawlessly. Whether I streamed movies from Netflix or Vudu, each started within seconds of hitting play. Getting a $17.96 credit with Vudu is a nice extra to this purchase.
