 Great Television for a Very Reasonable Price |

| I purchased this televion once my old standard definition CRT television died right in time for the digital transition. After doing some comparison shopping I happened upon this TV and chose it to replace my old 19" CRT. The first thing you'll notice about this television is its relative weightlessness, while common for flat screens is a nice change from cumbersome CRT's. Also setup is very easy and once hooked up to an HD digital cable box through one of the two HDMI ports the picture quality difference is immediate.
Initially the television was connected to my HD cable box via the coaxial port on the back of the TV. Surmised from many a HDTV review I expected standard definition shows to look worse once connected via HDMI but I guess going from coaxial (the bottom of the barrel) to HDMI (top of the line) provides an increase rather then decline, even in the visual integrity of standard definition shows and HD shows are on whole new level. Vibrant colors, nice crisp images and great line quality are the qualities sorely lacking from standard definition programing and televisions. Also I had no problems with the viewing angle what so ever. If I had to down this television for anything, it would be that the audio quality is lacking (an apparent hallmark of smaller flat screens) but i'd recomend an external speaker setup to remedy this. Besides that small nitpick this set has my stamp of approval. If you're searching for an HD-TV television that provides great value without sacrificing quality i'd fully recomend this set. |

| Has a very nice picture and the tuner, on rabbit ears, does a better job than the 13" analog TV it replaces. I see reviewer said it has poor off angle viewing but that is definitely not true on the unit I have. Also read a review elsewhere that thought off angle viewing was good. Sound is not as good as my 42" panasonic but its a fraction of the cost and size, its good for what it is. Much more viewable picture size than a 19" would be in the office where I have it. Would like to see an output for a recorder. |

| This Set replaced a 13" Samsung flat tube that was great in its day. So far, great trouble free set. DVD's look solid and I'm not using HDMI. Plan on adding blu-ray and will consider Vizio in the mix when I do. Only viewing angle problems experienced when looking up from floor. From the bed or a chair no problems at all. Sound is a little lacking but fine for the bedroom. An outstanding buy for the money. Found my set at Walmart and the price has dropped since purchase. Amazon pricing is pretty close. Recommend where HD is desired, but you don't have the room for a 37" or 42". |

| This is an excellant tv for a small apartment or a bedroom. Picture is great and it is very easy to work with. We bought this for my fathers bedroom after he had a brain injury and he finds it very easy to figure out. |

| This is my first bedroom TV, previously all I'd watched was an older Tube TV. I was a little hesitant to buy Vizio at first because I hadn't heard about it before. I bought new and all my fears are allayed. I haven't had any technical problems at all. Simplest setup in the world, you just put on the stand, connect a few cables, and you're good to go.
Even though this TV is only 720p, Blu-ray still looks incredibly crisp and it's an obvious upgrade from DVD. Many people told me I wouldn't see the difference on a small screen like this, but if your vision is good enough (mine's about average), you will. The black levels are pretty good, you might want to turn on the Black Level Extender in any case. A few people complained about the remote, but I really like it, it's got an ergonomic shape and fits nicely in your hand. In the back there is a headphone jack, but because of the way the TV is molded, my Sennheiser plug doesn't fit. That bothered me, but I found a way around it by just connecting straight to the BD player. I can't say much for the sound because I have my Logitech speakers hooked up from my Blu-ray. I'd imagine not many people are going to be using the default speakers, anyway. The only thing I wish it had is more options for aspect ratio. I believe anamorphic widescreen is not one of the options, I had to set that up on my BD player. Overall: highly recommended! This TV is a joy to use and a great bargain. If you have any questions, let me know. |
