The Vizio VF550XVT will be able to handle any HD video you send it, but don't expect to play back any photos or stream directly from the internet without separate set-top boxes.

Formats (10.0)
The Vizio VF550XVT is a 1080p television, which means it is capable of natively dispaying the highest quality HD content currently available. Of course you'll need to invest in a Blu-ray player and discs in order to take advantage of that quality HD. Broadcast television is delivered in the 1080i format, which the VF550XVT is also quite capable of playing back. It also supports 720p, which is the HD format most often used by online HD broadcasts, as well as standard definition content, which comes in 480p and 480i flavors.

In addition the Vizio VF550XVT supports 3:2 pulldown and 24p content, which allows you to view content that is produced to give it a film-like quality. It does not support the xvYCC extended color space, however.

Photo Playback (0.0)
The Vizio VF550XVT does not support photo playback, something of a dissapointment for a television at the top of Vizio's lineup.

Video Playback (0.0)
Video playback from a storage device is not supported by the VF550XVT.

Streaming Playback (0.0)
The Vizio VF550XVT does not support streaming playback directly from the internet, you'll have to purchase a separate set-top box to do this.

DVR (0.0)
The Vizio VF550XVT does not have a built-in Digital Video Recorder.
