Tv closing in from sides

Hi Brandon,
I am afraid that the dark spot in the screen is not repairable. Manage as long as you can or go for a new tv.

If it is still under warranty, take it back ASAP. The panel could be failing, TAKE IT BACK

Vizio TV model E371VL turned on ok and had tv show on ch.4.
Turned on the DVD player and put movie dvd in and closed tray.
We have done thhis numerous of times and never had a problem.
This time " HDMI " was showing on top right of black screen,
then " No Signal " came up on screen, then went completely black screen. Called Vizio, they had me power off and unplug set.
Push and Hold power button on TV for 30 sec. to reset.
Replug set and Vizio (lighted) on lower front of set lighted normally dull orange. Pushed power button on remote and when set did not come on, then push main power button on side of TV. Nothing, no White " Vizio " from orange light. Is this a power supply (0500-0412-1020) problem ? Thanks, Sidney ([email protected])

I had the same problem. Change your input to dtv even if you are using coaxial input. Then go to the menu screen and select tuner settings. Dtv setting should appear.

Vizio Has a big issue with all models working with each other, if either you have another vizio product in your home or a close neighbor, the remote signal is probably reaching your TV,

Tell them put all ur old boards back and change the Big Main board that in the middle.

when it goes dark can you pull up tv menu if not or ch number take a flash light and press menu on side of tv or remote and shine light on the screen, look really close and if can see any images such as letters or number then very possible have a defective lcd panel

A new panel for the TV plus repair will probably cost close to what you paid for the TV.

Ok take your Vizio remote control go to the Lower section of the buttons and look for the - Zoom + button than decrease the zoom.

Take the remote for the TV...not the cable.
They usually have a RESET button.  Go through setting the TV back to factory settings.  This usually corrects this problem.
It did for us today!  john
