If I ever encounteryou in the future I shall henceforth percieve your name as Dogul and pronounce it as "DoeGull" similar to mine.

Mine broke free from KS and is already on the the delivery truck. YeeHaaa

Well, mine made it out of Kansas, but supposedly its sitting 2 hours away in Illinois as of last night... Still, it says delivery today and the dont seem to be doing departure scans at all..... *crosses fingers*

ITS HERE! Wahoo!

Thank you FedEx, you rock.

on the truck and on the way. already moved the 37 down to the basement to replace the tube that has begun to shrink and make every shows cast coneheads. wires hanging longingly from the wall now. i guess i can fix the garage door while i wait.

Monoprice.com ?

Or perhaps the next wootoff. ;)

Fedex guy just called me and left a message something like this "His this is whatshisname from fedex and I have your package here, looks like a 47" tv and I noticed your in an apartment complex but it doesnt have an apartment number. Should I have a number or do you have a townhouse? Give me a call back at X or I hope your there when I arrive because you need to sign for this"

Blown away I called back and confirmed my address and he gave me a ballpark time to expect him.
Kick-Ass

Got the tracking # last night and it was delivered to my Ma & Pa outside Louisville, KY this AM. What a whirlwind from "no info" to "delivered" in 15 hours!!!

Got the tracking last evening, and it is on the truck on it's way to me right now! Thanks Woot! And thanks to the community here, for hanging in there and posting info. Woot rocks!

Got it (in Oregon)! This TV has an awesome, crisp picture. It's quite a bit better than my old 42" Vizio. Thanks WOOT!

Box has arrived in Denver CO.

Booooo! Fedex vacuums detectives.

Mine said "On Fedex vehicle for delivery" all day long. Now it says estimated delivery Febuary 7th. Crockabaloney

Updated: Today (Saturday) it says "At Local Fedex Facility", then suddenly the driver is at my door. All's well that ends well.

I got mine yesterday it was waiting for me when I got home (had someone there who signed of course) and got it up. My husband fiddled with settings forever and it looks great. I just get so confused by some of their picture settings. We turned everything off to get it to look good because with everything on it was grainey. What settings do you guys keep on and what off?

Finally got mine! Except its going to sit in the box for the Superbowl because it only contained a TV and broken stand. No power cable, no instructions, no component cables, no remote. I'm a little disappointed but lets see what support does.. on Monday of course.

Update:
Got a power cable and HDMI.
Pulled user manual from web.
Have it setup with a bracket instead of the stand now, user manual confirmed something is not right with the stand.
Manually programed my Uverse remote to control TV.
Panic induced crisis resolved. yey!

Call the hub its at and ask nicely. Maybe they'll let you pick it up there tomorrow. Or do the hold for pickup option on the web if its available to you. With the superbowl, big tv, and the storm they might be a little more sympathetic than usual. As long as you dont start off yelling at them.

Finally got my TV. Hooked it up to my home theatre system, turned off the ambient light sensor and it looks AWESOME! Time for some blu ray action tonight :D

Just got mine up on the wall!!!! Received it about 30 minutes ago.

and it looks AWESOME!!!

Got mine today.

It will have to go back, because the closed captions only comes in one font and that is particularly hard to read.

For those who know typography, it is Arial Narrow Monospace, ALL CAPS.

As close as I can within the limitations of this forum, it looks like this:

D I A L O G U E I N T H R E E L I N E S O F C A P T I O N S I S H A R D T O R E A D L I K E T H I S F O R M O R E T H A N A F E W M I N U T E S.

Impossible to read during fast action and lots of dialogue. Other brands of TVs have a choice of fonts, while this only has one. CC1 works, not CC2 through CS6. This is a major design fail.

My TV is INCREDIBLE!!!!!

A+ Woot.

Mine got here 8:30A today... has a random shut down syndrome which made me jump out of my skin twice now. After shutdown it changes to black and white. Unplugging from power seems to make it work again.
The remote response blows, factory and the DirecTV have to be exactly in the right position in order for the sensor to register.
Otherwise it is OK, watching Pens game, never noticed that Matt Cook is now missing 3 front teeth.

Received mine today.

Its amazing, looks great, Thank you woot!!

Now.... how about a good blue ray.

exactly... mine works great, looks great and couldn't be happier... now I need to upgrade the other components!

They wont deliver my TV without a signature and I'm not home when they try to deliver it. I called FedEx and they told me that I have to get Woot to allow them to leave it at another location. I've emailed woot to ask that and they have not gotten back to me. I can't find a phone number. Does anyone have one that I can call to talk to Woot?
Thanks for the help.

Dateline Friday 11am EST: Received Fedex email notification that driver attempted to deliver but nobody was home.

12Noon: Called Fedex support..no Saturday delivery and they will try again Monday. I asked if I could pick it up. They called the driver, got his return time, provided the Fedex Hub address and said I could pick it up after 5:30! A+ Customer service.

5:30pm: Picked up TV at local FedEx hub. They even helped me load it into my Jeep (another A+ for FedEx)

8:00pm: After letting the TV adjust to room temperature I fire it up. I'm blown away! We've never had high def before. We netflixed 'The Office' and the high def + huge screen + jerky Office camera movement actually made us motion sick! Awesome!

TV is going on the wall today. Can't thank Woot (and the great comment contributors in the forums) enough!

Very satisfied here in Akron, Ohio!

In speaking with FedEx yesterday, most local hubs are open until at least 8pm for pickup. Have you tried that option?

I just got mine. The screen is cracked. I called FEDEX to report it. They said the seller has to make the claim. FEDEX created a claim and I sent an email to service@woot.com with the claim. Hopefully they will handle it quickly. Has anyone else had experience with damaged merchandise at woot?

recieved mine yesterday,works great, base was even put together, best deal on woot in a long time!!!picture fantastic!!!

Well...got mine today. Did not realize that it does not come with A) A POWER CABLE, B) a remote, or C) a user manual. We, the Hitchhikers?! How am I supposed to turn the thing on!?

Got my TV yesterday. Two of the mounting holes have no nuts behind them so its gotta go back.

Now I've just spent an hour on the phone with Vizio getting the runaround. The basic story is I'll get a different refurbished TV but it will take some time and be a "process". Not what I want to hear..

Obviously I am SOL for the superbowl.

This is probably the last time I buy a big item from woot. The savings aren't enough to justify the this kind of aggravation.

Update:

To above posters call company, mine came with remote/powercord all that jazz.

However I put it up thursday and yesterday I noticed weird bright spots on the corners. It looks like bad glare. I called vizio they had me send pictures...bleh I want a new one they said they will send repair but when they call back about pictures I am going to request a new or new refurb ...note to anyone who has to go through this TAKE NOTES. I work for a major company as a case manager and people who have detailed notes like times of call, reps they spoke with, actions taken make it much easier to help them.

Mine is going back...hopefully I won't get someone elses with the same problem.

mines still waiting in ohio to make its way to michigan. i wont be here on the 7th to sign for it.... not sure if there is a hub near me either. fed ex didnt give much info for a hub pick up

Way to go FedEx. TV's in charlotte Friday - 30 miles away. TV goes 10 miles Saturday and now no new TV for Super Bowl Sunday. FedEx, you suck!

Received this on Friday, so far it looks great! The picture looks crisp and uniform, no dead pixels, banding, blooming, dark/light spots or anything abnormal looking. As for the appearance of the TV itself, there are no scratches, nicks or chips. The unit looks absolutely brand new with protective plastic cling stuff wrapped around everything. The stand, remote, batteries, power cord, manuals and cleaning cloth all appear to be brand new.

Now I'm trying to decide if I want to get the two year SquareTrade warranty for $96 (after coupon "super"). I probably will, since with my luck, this thing might decide to die on day 91.

Thanks for the deal Woot! Hopefully the majority of the folks who got in on this deal will receive theirs without any issues as well.

You're lucky. They told me it was going to be delivered Friday. It missed the truck by an hour, but I could have picked it up at the hub if I had know it was there. Problem was they didn't update the tracking information till 12 hours later after they closed, and they just deleted my Friday delivery date. I am slightly grumpy. But its supposed to be here today. Finally.

There should be some sort of warehouse they are operating out of "relatively" close. You can request they hold it at the facility online after the first delivery attempt. You can also call the 1800 number on the fedex site and give them your tracking number and they are pretty helpful.

Still haven't received mine. Was supposed to be here Friday. Says "On Time", then all of the sudden it still says "On Time" but day is changed to today, still have not received. I cannot stand FedEx, never have had a good experience with them. Woot, PLEASE PLEASE SHIP VIA UPS, OR AT LEAST GIVE AN OPTION. I would have paid more to ship via UPS.

Well my TV Came today but it has a small problem. There is a pretty big hold in the screen from shipping I would have to assume >.< Now I've gotta figure out this whole mess and probably wont get this TV once this is all said and done.

Edit: Spoke to Visio and they wont do anything because they "don't Cover shipping damage", Woot better do something about this...

Here is the damage...
