This Vizio hdtv is an outstanding value and will provide the average consumer with a very satisfying viewing experience. Connected tv to existing whole house antenna system to receive over the air television and picture looks great. Programming menu to adjust picture, color etc was intuitive and simple. Remote control is wonderfully simple in its design and function. This 37″ hdtv is an excellent value and will be a welcome upgrade to anyone looking to replace an analog set.

Can’t beat this combination of high quality and high value. This is the hd lcd tv to get if you are watching what you spend AND want an excellent viewing experience. Easy to assemble and attach to your cable/hd cable hook ups. Love it!

I purchased 2 directly from Vizio. They arrived 3 weeks later and one was not damaged. Their customer support division is poorly managed. I had to take a picture of the TV and e-mail it to them. It then took several days for them to get in touch with me. The TV was picked up 1 week later and after waiting nearly a month they refused to send out another TV “because it was a sale item”. Instead they ignored e-mails and did not return calls. The other TV that works is average at best. I guess the old saying “you get what you paid for” is right on!! Suggest staying away from Vizio products until they learn how to take care of their customers.

I’ve had this set almost a week. It has a very good picture – colors are bright. The sound with the built-in speakers is very good – one of the best I’ve heard. The remote control has nice rockers for the channel and volume. These feel like high-quality switches for the most-frequently used buttons and will last a long time – very impressive. It has plenty of inputs.

Its cost is low and it lacks a few things. It lacks analog sound outputs (it has neither phono jack outputs or a headphone jack), although it does have digital optical sound output. The remote control lacks a set of “favorites”.

The biggest drawback is that there is no easy way to change from normal aspect to wide aspect. All other sets I’ve seen have a button on the R/C to easily switch between several choices. This set has only two choices (normal/wide) and you have to go through the menu to access it – very difficult. This means that if you use the normal setting to have the correct aspect ratio, some programs have black bars at the top and bottom and there is no easy way to make it fit your screen efficiently.

In March, I decided to buy this HDTV at Target because it was affordable. Now, the picture was superb and had a good sound system. I loved everything, until I decided to play my PS3. One game that stood out was Madden 2009. While I was playing, I noticed the players were very blurry. Other games were not really blurry, but I figure an HDTV should have ANY blurriness, while playing. Plus, I couldn’t help, but ignore the negative reviews that Vizios receive. If I pay $600 dollars for a HDTV, I better be able to get an excellent picture, while watching and gaming. I only got one out of two. Therefore, I took it back and bought a LG 37LG30 37-Inch 720p LCD HDTVfor the same price as the Vizio. I am getting exactly what I want in that HDTV and I am completely satisfied. Not to mention, the LGs have better ratings and reliability than Vizios. Overall, if you are looking for an HDTV with superb picture for watching and gaming, Vizio is not for you.
