 Good All Around Except.... June 2, 2010
EA (Philadelphia, PA)
The unit is excellent except for a superficial flaw with a rationale understood only by an apparently insecure VIZIO. They light up their overly large "VIZIO" logo in the center bottom of the panel and it is very distracting when viewing. The simple solution was to cover it with black electrician tape to match the frame, leaving a bit exposed to check its on\off status. Otherwise: set up was easy, menu is friendly and functional; remote is functional; outlets in the back are well positioned and well marked; general appearance is good; and, importantly, picture quality is good with several viewing choices, depending on what is being watched: (movies, football, standard, games etc..)Summary: a good set and a good value except for the "neon" logo.
Best TV I found in the budget HD category (5- stars) June 1, 2010
Debbie Lee Wesselmann (the Lehigh Valley, PA)
Although this Vizio cannot compete with higher-end HD televisions boasting 120 HZ and 1080p resolution, it was far the best performer in the price range I was considering, although I did shop around to find the best price. I consider this the largest set (32") that can still deliver a crisp LCD picture with 720p/60HZ specs. You won't notice the difference unless you already have a higher end television; even then, most people cannot tell the difference at this size. The picture is bright and sharp, particularly when using the "Vivid" picture setting. Set-up is mostly intuitive, although there was one hiccup, as I'll describe later.
Pros: price/value; crisp, bright picture; good remote; mostly easy set-up; 2 HDMI input connections, plus component, RGB, and RF; 100,000 to 1 contrast ratio; excellent picture with HD, DVD, or Blu-Ray input; you can use the included stand or hang it on the wall; sleek appearance.
Cons: specifications that are becoming outdated; difficult to reach connections in the back of the set (connect everything before you put it in place!)
The only momentary problem I had occurred when the TV wouldn't pick up the cable channels. A quick look at the troubleshooting section of the handbook pointed me toward the manual tuning feature, which took five minutes or so to load all the channels. Because an Amazon reviewer recommended that owner use the retail setting for the best picture (instead of the Energy/ECO setting), I ended up with a picture that displayed Vizio's advertised specs at the bottom. To get rid of the display, I had to select the Home setting -- and I had to search for the channels all over again. (Note: as long as you select "Vivid" as your picture mode, you will get the brightness you saw at the store.) I found that 32" is the perfect size for a bedroom, apartment, or other small to mid-size room.
HD televisions really need an HD source to look their best, so if you only have a regular digital picture, you will see less than sharp edges, although the picture is still fine, especially from a distance. HD signals -- whether from cable or satellite or Blu-Ray -- really show up well on this set and are well worth the extra expense if you can afford it. Because manufacturers are selling fewer and fewer 720p/60 HZ sets, you should look for bargains, as many of these models are being discontinued and therefore discounted.
LOVE it! May 28, 2010

I've had this for about one month now and have loved it. I was a little nervous about ordering a tv to be delivered rather than picking it up in a store, but it arrived in great condition. It's very easy to set up; only took about 5 minutes. The controller is easy to navigate. The picture is fantastic. One hint: when you go through the initial set-up, choose retail set up instead of home set up. I chose home set up first and it was a little dark for me (it's an energy saving feature.) I read online about choosing retail set up and tried it, and it looks wonderful. I have nothing negative to say about this porduct.
32 in. 720P LCD Vizio HDTV May 23, 2010
K. Phillips
This is an excellent bargain for the price. It is great for bedrooms. It replaced a bulky 27 in. picture tube tv. Besides hooking it up to cable it is also hooked up to the computer so we can watch HDTV downloads without having to pay additional monthly fees for an HD cable box. So buy a VGA splitter cable as it is well worth it.
