4.0 out of 5 stars Good Blu-Ray Player but apps need an update., May 31, 2011
This review is from: VIZIO VBR122 Blu-ray Player with Wireless Internet Apps (Electronics)
*** Please note latest Update adds Amazon Video! ***

I picked this player up for an awesome price a few days ago and have been trying everything out.
The pros:
Wireless N: Works great with NETGEAR N750 450 Mbps Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4000. No stutter via wireless streaming in HD with a good Wireless N router and good High Speed internet connection. Supports the "wireless authentication" button on the front of the router so setup to the wireless is super easy. (The Blu-Ray player will tell you when to hit the button on the router to auto authenticate you)

DVD and Blu-ray playback is quick and responsive and Blu-Rays load fast. No stutter in playback that I've seen. I have mostly DVDs so it was important that this does the DVDs justice as well. It does apparently upscale and does it... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Blu-ray player!, June 6, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: VIZIO VBR122 Blu-ray Player with Wireless Internet Apps (Electronics)
This is a fantastic Blu-ray player, especially when you factor in the price. It's the cheapest blu-ray that i could find with built-in WiFi, which is why i chose to get it. Netflix works brilliantly (i've already watched the first XMen movie on it) and the other apps work well. The one downer, and why i was going to rate it 4.5 stars but it would not allow me: Amazon instant video is not available yet. That is unfortunate, as the fact that the remote has an Amazon button on it made me certain it would work out of the box immediately. Alas, it does not.

ALSO, it must be mentioned: THIS BLU-RAY PLAYER COMES WITH NO CORD TO CONNECT IT TO A TV. It only has an HDMI port for connecting to TVs. This was not a problem for me, as i had an HDMI cord that i hadn't been using. However, if you do not have an HDMI cord, you will need to get one. You can get an AmazonBasics version right here in this very store for as little as $7 or so.

So, the cons: no Amazon Instant video,... Read more

(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: VIZIO VBR122 Blu-ray Player with Wireless Internet Apps (Electronics)
I am really impressed with the Vizio VBR122 Blu-ray player. For the price, it has a nice feature set. The best points:

- Very nice remote with a QWERTY keyboard on the back for easy input.
- Easy system update over the built-in wireless connection
- Brainless setup - just power and HDMI cable
- Intuitive menu that can be used without reading instructions (which are minimal to begin with)
- Compact design with a small foot print
- Pretty quick boot up
- Lots of Internet features
- Netflix works great - even over the wireless connection
- Communicates with my Onkyo receiver to change to Blu-ray when powered on
- Smooth front (except for the disc tray) so doesn't collect dust on any buttons

Vizio saved some production cost on the player by making the connections on the back minimal - one HDMI connection. Also, as of the date of this review, Amazon streaming was not yet available but "coming soon". The suggestion for... Read more
