    5 stars 5 Star Review

    Updated:09-12-06

    Duration of ownership:5 Days

    Strengths: BEAUTIFUL, PRICE IS RIGHT, CLEAR PICTURE, AND GREAT INSTRUCTIONS!

    Weaknesses: IT TAKES A WHILE(ABOUT 30-45 SECOND DELAY) TO TURN ON AND OFF THE TELEVISION.

    Overall Evaluation: The sleek design and great price attracted me to this TV. After plenty of research I believe that I found the perfect TV for my family. My only complaint so far is that after I hit the power button, whether on the remote or the actual television, it takes about 30-45 seconds for the screen to turn on. The picture is great and I am really happy with the product.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Good HD picture

    Weaknesses: not so great analog/digital cable

    Overall Evaluation: I got this from Costco for $1500 in March, the HD picture was great but digital cable/analog was a bit grainy, so I returned it and waited for prices to drop and just got a Westinghouse LVM-42w2 1080p LCD for $1500 from bestbuy (one day special) which is nice.

    Strengths: Price.

    Weaknesses: 2 of them died in a few days. Blue screens when switching inputs. Random power-offs. No 5.1 output.

    Overall Evaluation: Bought three of this TV and returned all three (fortunately to a local store). This happened in March, Vizio may have fixed some of the problems with firmware updates. Most people in avs forums have the same problems as I had: 1-Random power offs. My first two units had this. And after some time, both of them never turned on. 2-Blue screens when switching inputs (just like Windows). Sometimes I struggled for 10-15 minutes to get rid of this. 3-Digital audio output is stereo, not 5.1. Interestingly 32" and 42" vizio models have 5.1 output. But this one does not. Overall, I would not reccommend this TV despite the low price.

    Strengths: Very good buy for the price, good out of the box experience, easy to set up, very good HD picture quality,

    Weaknesses: Crowded manual, unlighted remote control. Standard tv picture quality seems to vary depending on show/channel.

    Overall Evaluation: Out of box experience was excellent! Took the box into our bedroom, took the LCD tv out, hooked it to our DVR cable box and that was it, watching tv in a few minutes. I did not have to adjust anything. Although in the side by side comparison in the store this Vizio didn't seem to have the best picture, at home, with nothing to compare side by side, HD programs look amazing. I basically can't tell what I'm missing because it just looks great. So far I'm very satisfied with my purchase.One thing to note is that the power cord is a three-pronged cord so I could not hook power to the cable box directly (cable box only takes two-pronged power cords). Not a big deal and this is probably the same for all large LCD tv's.Remote control is easy to use although not lighted. You need some dim light to be able to see what button you want to press in the dark.When you first power up this LCD from being off all night, in the first few seconds you can barely hear a couple of popping sounds. Same thing when you power off. I believe this is from the change in temp going from cold to hot or viceversa. Barely noticeable.Control/setup menu is relatively simple if you've played with any other tv picture and sound setup before.User's manual is a little too crowded with words but the descriptions are straightforward.Overall I'm extremely well satisfied with my purchase. For the price paid this is a great product.

    Strengths: nice design, good video quality

    Weaknesses: video settings are not easy to adjust, picture not that great with standard tv signal (needs adjustment), remote and user interface lacking

    Overall Evaluation: Overall I like the tv/monitor, I do not get HD signal so I can comment on that but it if it is anything like the quality I get when I hook my computer to the lcd it should be great. Standard tv looks good, a little better than regular tv but no where near the quality of hd (but that goes without saying), so reg signal is watchable in my opinion (have to adjust colors and video settings, else the colors are pretty bad and really blurry). Games and media center setup to watch movies is superb in my opinion colors are very nice, I can't get enough of watching things on the computer it makes it so much better. overall great monitor/tv, I use it for tv and computer, i can put up with no hd signal because I can't afford it but the quality of games and computer watching does it for me.
