I have been testing Netflix Streaming players for quite a while. This is my primary focus.

Having experienced all levels of interfaces I rate them three ways:

1. Does Search (for titles), Also does Genre, and does Instant Queue.

2. Does Genre and Instant Queue (no search function).

3. Instant Queue only. You manage what you can select from a PC at the Netflix website.

The VBR334 is a level 1 , best Netflix interface, does it all.

Most other Vizios I have tested do NOT do level one, they mostly are level 2.

I will say that most products that stream do not do anything other than level 3.

The game consoles also are excellent, but cost more than this VBR334 Vizio Blu Ray player.

WIRELESS: built in wireless how can you possibly go wrong for this price ? Other manufacturers only do

wi-fi ready for an additional cost. This is built in.

BUT... you need to understand that to maintain N level wi-fi speeds you need to use WPA at a minimum.

WEP will not allow N, the player will do WEP, but other Vizio models need to be reconnected

each time they are booted, the WEP key is remembered, you just have to select your SSID and connect.

Once you learn this and get past it it is okay. But if you have an N capable router , use WPA or better

and it should all be fine.

We are actually pretty excited. I have been testing these units for months and can finally stop,

purchase enough VBR334's to go around and be done with it.

Hope this helps others out there who are also looking for capable streaming devices that play Blu Ray.

Beware.. although this is advertised as having "Vizio Internet Apps", it DOES NOT have the standard suite of apps offered on the Vizio Internet Apps Web site!... Includes a very limited suite of apps and DOES NOT include Amazon Instant Video! I called Vizio customer support to see if there was a software upgrade and was told this unit is not upgradeable to the standard suite of apps. As other have noted, it is painfully slow to load... and generally slow to respond.. I have already packed it up for return...

I have had the vbr334 for a month now. It has worked perfectly on all types of disk. The netflix streaming is great and the wireless network is great. It is worth noting that it only supports 2.4Ghz so no dual band support.

I have finally found my first glitch with Tron 3D. While it works great, I must first disconnect the net to get it to work or it will just stop. I believe it is trying to access some online connect and it fails. This could be both a problem of the player and/or the disk manufacturer.

Over all I am happy with it. I have used vizio online chat for support and it has been acceptable. The one word of caution is this is a new unit and Vizio is still working the bugs out. But, with online firmware updates I assume this will not be too much of an issue.

This unit works pretty well for playing 2D and 3D BDs (blu-ray disks), although it is often unresponsive to its own IR remote, as well as to a programmed DISH remote. As other reviewers have noted, it cannot play a lot of DVDs (digital video disks). I used it for a year to play 2D and 3D BDs and liked it. But when my family tried to use it to play mainstream DVDs, purchased from Amazon and Costco over the last decade, it failed to load over half of them, each time chugging away for varying amounts of time before ejecting the disk. A long chat with Vizio tech support led to the conclusion (from both sides) that there was no fix for this defect. I have other DVD players and combined DVD/BD players, all of which have no problem playing any of these DVDs; it is only this Vizio product that can't. My conclusion is that this is a serious design defect for which Vizio has no remedy. DON'T BUY this product if you need to play DVDs, or if you want a useable remote control capability.

Purchased at Amazon and wouldn't think of going anywhere else.

We have it mated to a Vizio TV.

Non-HD DVDs look as good as some of the HD DVDs. Only problem we had for about 2 days was that the player was turning on and off and making the DVD drawer come out by itself. Then it all went away and worked fine. We're in a tight neighborhood so maybe someone else's remote was activating it. Other than that, the thing works perfectly. We haven't used the widgets although they pop up pretty quickly when you remote them. Hooks up in a heartbeat and shows beautifully. So far I give it a high recommendation.
