Vizio TVs have a very obnoxious feature. On the front panel there is an LED light in form of the brand's logo: Vizio. When the TV is off this light is orange, and it turns green when the set is on. It is astonishing that some people actually like this feature, according to some reviews. What is the point of this? So we accidently don't forget the brand of the TV we are watching? I have searched all over the place, but I was unable to find any clever hack that would turn of this "feature." The only thing I could find is this tread about accessing the service menu:

I don't have a Vizio TV just yet (and frankly I am looking at other models just because of this problem), so I cannot find out whether there is some way to turn of this light using the service menu...

I agree, at first this light was some what of an annoyance to me, but when I am actually watching the TV screen, I forget it is actually there. Despite the light, the Vizio has a great, clear screen and I really enjoy mine. If I were you, I'd go ahead and call Vizio,(888)849-4623, maybe they can offer you service.
This feature is easily mitigated by a piece of electrical tape. :)
For just 10 bucks more I ended up buying a Sylvania. No shining logo was a big selling point for me. Judging from the fact that could not wait to remove a little plastic sticker above the screen, the bright light underneath it would have been my slow demise.
