Genco Sun, 07 Feb 2010 18:52:42 +0000 http://bluraydiscplayersonline.com/vizio-blu-ray-disc-player#comment-355 I have purchased many products from Amazon including my new Samsung 42" Plasma over the years. This review will be about a purchase somewhere else. Some things have to be. <br />I worried over my choice of a lower price Blue Ray player. I wanted quality, but knowing how much my wife and I use the thing, we'd never get to use the bells and whistles such as Netflix and Youtube. Consequently, I looked for good to better reviews on the bottom Sharp22 and the Vizio110. Both were on sale last week in the Orlando area for under $100. <br />The Sharp had to go by the wayside because there were too many reports of it sounding like a freight train when it started up. I grit my teeth and went down to the "B" club to purchase the Vizio. I am not easily scared away, but there were MANY of these in stock; and they were not returns either. I looked carefully at all the boxes on display (about thirty) and realized that these were players which had not been opened since final assembly at the factory in ...help me....China. I have had a bad relationship with those boys. Malaysia looked good. <br />The price was the point. <br />It set up quickly. I managed to correct a mistake that my Bright House installer had made when connecting the HD box. I even went so far as to purchase a 25' LAN cord to attach the player to my router right here in the living room. That would be used later with a special disc. <br />I turned it on and insterted a regular DVD. Harlem Nights came on quickly and even at that resolution, beautifully. The sound is the thing. I connected it up to the Yamaha Dolby 5.1 (Five Channels at 100 Watts RMS) which I purchased from Amazon about a year ago waiting for this day. I was not disappointed. The picture and sound were perfect. <br />Then I turned to the Blu Ray disc I had purchased just for the occasion. It is a copy of "Phantom of the Opera". I wanted to test the picture as well as the sound. Fantastic!!! The machine recognized the disc immediately. It took no longer than ten seconds before the menu came up on the screen. <br />The machine is very very quiet. I have only one thing against the unit. The remote control although a bit confusing has a very slender angle of view. That is to say that some remotes, Sony in particular, can be aimed approximately at the unit in question before something happens. This one has to be aimed (literally) at the player. It will work, but don't expect to turn to talk to someone and get back to a running player; it ain't a goona happen. <br />Buy this unit. Aside from the remote question, it is a sturdy, quiet, and well-behaved blu ray player. And unlike many reviews I have read over the past month, it plays both DVD's and Blu Ray DVD's without a stop, a hitch, or a glitch. It just plays right through. FORE!! <br />Get this machine if you don't care about a lot of extras and only require good performance.

Buy this unit. Aside from the remote question, it is a sturdy, quiet, and well-behaved blu ray player. And unlike many reviews I have read over the past month, it plays both DVD’s and Blu Ray DVD’s without a stop, a hitch, or a glitch. It just plays right through. FORE!!

While it was easy to set up and played my parent's DVDs just fine, the player crashed whenever a Star Trek Blu-ray Disc was inserted, requiring an unplugging and a quick press of the Eject button when it powered back up in order to prevent it from crashing again. It turns out that this is a well-known problem with the VBR110 and there's no fix available. Fortunately, Costco has excellent customer service and they were able to replace it with a Sony BDP-BX2 which is better in every way, including the most important aspect of actually playing your movies.

However they were behind the curve with this model. <br />Pro: <br />Plays well,good sound,lots of features. <br />Con: <br />Horrible over sized confusing illogical remote(with tiny fonts)that controls only the volume on Vizio TV's. I have 4 Vizio remotes and none of them will operate the VBR-110. <br />Unit is way too big and has no Wi-Fi capability (needs ethernet connection).No Netflix streaming options. <br /> While I got it at a really low price, it's now a relic and not near worth it's selling price. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Rating: 2 / 5 Having a Vizio TV,I expected their DVD BlueRay unit to match up with it.

Unit is way too big and has no Wi-Fi capability (needs ethernet connection).No Netflix streaming options.

While I got it at a really low price, it’s now a relic and not near worth it’s selling price.
