We were very happy with the plethora of standard ports on the Vizio VF550XVT and their excellent placement. We just wish that some additional ports, like USB, had been included in this high-end television.

Input Ports (8.0)
The Vizio VF550XVT offers a very good selection of input ports, highlighted by five HDMI ports. Four of those are found on the back and one on the left side. Also on the left side you'll find a component input, analog audio input and analog video input.
On the back you'll find an additional component input, two analog audio inputs, another analog video input, VGA input and an associated 3.5mm audio input for audio from your computer. You'll also find the antenna port on the back, with support for digital and analog cable and OTA signals as well as the S-video input.
Output Ports (2.0)
As is typical with most televisions the Vizio VF550XVT features only two output ports, both for audio and both found on the back. These are one analgo audio out and one optical audio out.
Other Connections (0.0)
The Vizio VF550XVT has no wireless connectivity options.
Media (0.0)
Despite being at the top of Vizio's lineup of televisions the Vizio VF550XVT doesn't include any media connectivity options like card readers or a USB port, which most high-end televisions do.
Placement (7.0)
We were very happy with the placement of ports on the Vizio VF550XVT. Unlike the Vizio VO47L, which placed its ports on a long strip across the entire back, the VF550XVT arranges its ports in two tight groupings. The first is found right on the left side of the television near the bottom, making them very easy to access. The ports on the back are a bit more difficult, but definitely easier than the VO47L as they are found just around the left side of the television very near the edge. This means you won't have to try and reach the middle of the back of the television to access some ports. Unfortunately the Vizio VF550XVT's stand doesn't swivel to make accessing these ports even easier.
