Looks like they're coming from Orange County. Vizio's based there, maybe they're sending the TV's out themselves.

Glad i could help you all out.

That works for me. Says friday to be delivered. I'm in Montana. I was hoping to have it for the weekend.

yzdude250f wrote:Hey guys, everyone who doesn't have a tracking number try this. Woot staff posted this for a previous woot "Track using your order number under the track by reference tab on Fedex". I STILL dont have a tracking number on my account page,BUT I tried this method and used my order number as the reference number and it shows an estimated delivery date of march 15. Only thing i can figure is woot had these tvs drop shipped from somewhere else. Track using this link and paste your order number in the reference box (second one) select your country and type in postal code and hit track. Hope this helps you out.

I second that! Thanks!

Have these shipped yet?? Any news?

Thank you!!!

Thanks @gussy224!! Worked like a charm!

Says mines will be here Tues the 15th..I'm in SC.

I got my tracking number at 7:45 this morning. Yeah!
The TV was at my door yesterday though. Even yeaher!
Works nice. but the picture is only using 50% of the screen. I guess I'll have to read the manual.
one thing, its freaking loud. It had the volume on 9 and it blew me acrooss the room (it was 10:30pm). I actually turned it down to 2! (out of, i think, 50). Thats with non-HD coax cable.
PS. I'm in Orange County

Got my tracking number today and the TV is supposed to be delivered today. I'm in Montana.

I only got the TV and base stand. No remote, power cable or vertical connecter to the base stand for the TV.

Am I missing something? Did anyone else get a remote/full stand/power cable?

LOL, I did the same thing....hopefully you kept the box the TV came in....there is a small chamber on the end of the box that is easily overlooked if not paying attention...took me 3 times of looking through the box to realize it was there...all the other parts were tuck neatly in there!
BTW, this tv has a great pic!
Good luck!

Does anyone else get anything show up in the EPG?

I have cable, when i'm on any channel and press the guide button, i get no program info at all. I've tried many different channels, and even tried leaving it on the screen to load while I went to make coffee. Nothing. It isn't a major problem for me, but i'd like to know if i'm the only one.

Thanks

What would I need to hook my netbook up to my new Vizio?

I got my vizio and it doesnt work. Trying to navigate that nightmare. Trying to deal with the woot dropshipping partner, but with no sucess so far. We'll see, I might end up challenging my credit card charge to get some action.

got mine today!!!!!

Got mine yesterday, and I love it! The only quirk I have beef with is the logo illumination. Its no where near a deal breaker, and I know duct tape will do the trick, but I was looking for a menu option to turn it off. I assume there is, but unable to confirm using manual. Anyone else figure out any other play besides duct tape?

DEAD TV, now what.
Does anyone have any ideas on what can be done about a dead TV?
I use it only about 15 hrs. a week and this afternoon it was working, this evening it will not power up
Here is the kicker, my 90 day warranty lapsed last month. Never fails, I've had some really, really bad luck with woot electronics...2 different rogue RC helicopters at $30 ea. and now a $300 TV.

Am I out of luck or is there hope???

Here is my chat transcript with Visio service.
Kelly: Thank you for contacting VIZIO Live Chat, the home of Entertainment Freedom for All. This is Kelly in South Dakota. Have you ever contacted us before?
No
Kelly: Here at VIZIO we pride ourselves in providing best in class customer support and all of our support is U.S. based, and I can assist you with that.
Kelly: To better assist you, I would like to get you registered for technical support so I can log this case. Could I start off by first getting your full address, and then could you give me your serial number, date of purchase, purchase location, and price please?

Kelly: Can you double check the serial number?

Kelly: Thank you. Have you tried a power cycle with the TV?

Numerous times
Kelly: To do this:

1- Power off TV
2- Unplug TV from outlet
3- Press and hold in the power button on the side of the TV for 30 seconds (while it is unplugged from the wall)
4- Release the power button
5- Plug in the TV
6- Power the TV back on
I did all that with the exception of holding in the power button. I'll try that now.
Kelly: OK.
Tried that twice. Still the same.
Kelly: Have you tried a different outlet with the TV?
The bezel logo turns white and the Viso logo appears on the screen for a moment then it goes black and the bezel logo goes back to yellow. I'll try another outlet but have doubts that will make a difference.
Kelly: Ok.
Still the same
Kelly: I show this TV was originally sold and returned back to Walmart. Unfortunately there is no warranty through VIZIO. You will need to contact Woot.com for warranty service.
I believe that warranty was for 90 days. No good to me now. I guess my only recourse is to tell everyone I can at every opportunity that Vizio products are junk.
Kelly: James, I do apologize that your TV is not covered because it was returned back to Walmart and re-sold through Woot.
Kelly: Would you like our repair numbers?
That still doesn't change the fact that Vizio manufactured hundreds or thousands of these TVs that failed once, were returned, were considered refurbished, sold again, and failed again. That is extremely poor business practice and indicative of poor quality control and a disregard for customer satisfaction. It probably borders on criminal if they were resold with the knowledge that they would fail again in short order.
Kelly: This is why I recommend contacting Woot at this point.
I'll give it a try, I might as well get the repair numbers though I suspect the cost will be too high to make it worth investing again in a product that may fail again anyway.
Kelly: VIZIO does have two partner companies who are certified to perform repairs on VIZIO TV's. You can reach them at ITI- (888)248-2708 and HD Repair- (800) 713-2671.

It is insane how many people have been screwed and jerked around by that company.

I emailed Woot service earlier today. Is there any hope?
