 Terrific player July 16, 2010

Very pleased with this player. Wireless connectivity works great, playback is fantastic, and a good variety of apps. Also pleasantly suprised with the great upconvert quality on standard DVDs (can be hit-or-miss for Blu Ray players)...had a couple others make this observation as well.
Great Value! September 5, 2010

Dont believe the hype on the bad reviews. Could be people have choppy internet. I stream movies through it and it works great. So its noisy when the disk first starts get past it. Why people are so petty I dont understand. Does an amazing job upconverting my reg dvds as well. Use your mind buy it try it you can return it.

Setup of the wireless can be a little time consuming, I ended up resetting my router to get all 6 of my wireless devices to work again properly.
VBR220 will most definately connect to wpa2 with no problems, despite it not being mentioned in the manual. The only comment the manual makes is that it works on 'shared wep' and not open wep'. Some people obviously thought that meant it only does wep, but this is incorrect. Most new N-routers only work under wpa2 to begin with.
Once connected, this player keeps the wireless info needed to log in everytime its turned on and has worked flawlessly ever since. Great streaming speed on Netflix and Pandora, the only apps I use. Less than 10 seconds to start streaming a movie during non-peak times and never hangs for loading in my location.
As far as the remote control, its not ideal but I use another universal remote anyhow. No big deal.
I like all the bright LED lights others are complaining about, but my player is not near enough to TV to be distracting.
I think this is one of those products that occasional or non-experienced gadget users will hate because of the technical setup of the wireless, etc, but people who are good at home networking will enjoy.
I should also mention this player plays Blue Ray disks perfectly too!
Does its job very well :D September 3, 2010

Let me start out by saying that I went into this looking for a basic Blu-Ray player and Vizio's product seemed to fit the bill (especially for the price).
HOWEVER, I totally got more than I expected.
First off, let me correct some misconceptions that may have been created by other reviewers. Other reviews on Amazon state that the player cannot "resume" playing a BluRay movie after being turned off, nor does it close its drive-tray when the play button is hit. While this may have been true of earlier models like the VBR200 or VBR210, this is not the case with the VBR220. When I turn the player off in the middle of a movie it will play exactly where I left off when I turn it back on. I did attach a small 8gb jump drive to the USB port for BDLive access so I'm not sure if this is what's making the difference (i.e. - maybe the player is storing where I left off on the drive?). But either way this function/feature is included. And yes, hitting the play button does automatically close the drive-tray.
I did have some troubles with connecting this thing to my WiFi network. I use an ActionTec router from Qwest and couldn't get the player to connect, even with the help of Vizio tech-support. Fortunately, I was planning on moving to an Apple Airport network anyways to hook up all of the devices in my home. The Blu-Ray player had no issues what-so-ever hooking up to that. The quality of the Netflix movies is awesome, and the fact that Pandora is included is a huge plus.
If you're looking for a quality player and are refusing to spend $300+, this is the perfect player for you. No other player on the market can match it for quality at this price.
