Has anyone experieced the following problem? I can be watching the TV and out of the blue it turns off all by itself, but it then instantly reboots, again all by itself, right where I was watching. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!!!

I've never had that, but if it's still under warranty call customer service. They are really great.

Mine's been fine for months; thank God! Are you making sure to totally shut the TV off when not in use?

Hey Amit, I have had the TV for 4 months, and have almost exclusively played my xbox 360 on it. If there are any burn in issues, I dont see them! I think a little common sense with regards to setting the TV to dim after inactivity, or even shut off (mine does automatically after fifteen minutes of inactivity). Anyway, Ive had no problems! Games look beautiful on this TV, by the way.

Yes! We've been experiencing the same problem. The standby light flashes red and turns off by itself. We turn it back on and it shuts off again! Then we've also had the picture turn off but the sound is still on. We also bought it through Costco.

I have my M650VSE hooked up to a sound system and Comcast. At times, it does not start with all systems working and I have to reset my sound or comcast remote to get it back to where all systems are working. If your TV turns itself off while watching it, it seems that there may be a surge in your system either external or internal to it that makes it do so.I suggest you first try to see if there are external causes, and if that does prove to be the case, I would have a Vizio tech person check it out internally.Wish I could be more helpful.Ron

Yes, I am having the same issue with my same model television. Mine was purchased the end of 2/08, it started doing that about a month ago and it is out of warranty. Have you had your repaired? If so, what was the cost? wants $150 just to come out and diagnose the problem.

There is a feature on the TV that will turn it off due to inactivity. If you go into the settings you can change that to an extended period of time, but I am not sure if you can turn it off completely. If it isn't that than I am not sure what the issue would be from. Hope this helps.

Gary, just tried turning off (power button) the e250 as it was playing - when I turned it back on, it was exactly where I had turned it off. Any other test you might want me to try? Jerry

Yes, I love mine, turn it off when u r done running it. it decides to run around by itself. creep me out at first, I figured out the tv remote has something to do with it. lol

I am having this exact same issue. I know this is an older posting but I thought I would see if I can ressurect it. I find that if I go to hdmi control and turn the switching off and then back on again it comes to life. sometimes. sometimes it just starts working after a while like it has to warm up or something. did any of you guys figure out what was going on?

Did u try to update it ? When I first got mine , it would turn off then come back on again . Then I updated it and it stopped . Go to the samsung web site and go to tv updates . Then see if you have the latest firmware . If not , contact Samsungs costumer service . I hope this helped you out . I'm still enjoying my set .

No issues here, been using for 7 months now. However, I noticed one day my HD was horrible quality, and it started freezing and jitters. I tried to troubleshoot it all around on the TV settings and no luck, then I did a reset on the HD cable box and it was fixed!

Anybody have a thumb drive to fix Vizio sound issue? Webpage says it is unavailable. After watching for about an hour, sound gets distorted. Other than that, a great bedroom tv. Or , if anyone had the same issue and solved it, please let me know. Have tried every option on tv audio menu.

My set never had the picture issue prior to the issue of the tv switching off entirely and not coming back on. I tried the side power buttons, and I also called Toshiba customer support whom walked me through holding down the power button and unplugging the tv for a while, etc. They were unable to help, so they directed me to my local repair shop. Called them, they seemed helpful, were supposed to order a new power supply for the TV. Haven't heard back from them...but after leaving the tv unplugged for a day or two, I plugged it back in and its worked ever since like a charm...have no idea what the problem was, but it works now...just hope it stays this way.

I know exactly what you're talking about and that happens to mine as well from time to time. You probably can't work the volume on the tv either while it's happening too, right? Usually, what I would do is unplug it for the night and the next day when I wanted to watch it, I would plug it back in and the lower right corner glitch would go away. I will say that is my biggest gripe with the tv, but it's just a glitch and unplugging it always worked for me in the past. Hope this helps!

Yes I have. I use mines everyday it has happened to me before but only twice and of that happens you just unplug the whole thing and turn off the tv as well for 10 mins. It could be that you don't have good wifi service.

I had the "sudden stop" happen a couple of times. I had been using the "power off" button on the remote, thinking that doing this forced a "hard reboot"; it would restart the unit but didn't fix the problem. Now I use the power button on the back of the unit to turn it off after I've finished watching something and turn it back on using the same button; I have not had the "video stop problem" since.
