nice tv for the mony
I initially gave this 5 stars but after comparing it more and more to my other tv's and the one it replaced (Hitachi that had banding issues) the picture is a bit softer than my other HDTV's. Don't get me wrong, its clear but not as sharp as the other tv's no matter how much I played with the settings.

Great TV (and, no lag time)
4.5 stars. This is a great TV, awesome picture which is still easy to see in my bright living room (indirect sunlight). I wanted to mention for video gamers, that this unit has no noticeable delay lag. (I returned an otherwise great LG LED tv because it had a ~0.10s lag, which was a deal-breaker for rhythm games and super-quick-reflex games.)

Minus half a star because it doesn't have internet connectivity (though to be fair, neither has any other TV I've had over the last 40 yrs :-), and personally I would've preferred a USB slot than a SD card slot (I have card readers, and USB could be used to power a wii sensor bar).

Love my new tv
I ordered this TV after hours of reseaching the different brands of Flat Screen LCD (and plasma) TV's. I chose this one based on the excellent reviews that the professional reviewers gave it. Their main comment was that it was a good value for the price. It has a lot of options that you would expect on higher end TV's. It was very easy to hook up too. I'm a 5 foot lady whose husband was out of town when it was delivered. It wasn't too hard or heavy for me to unpack and hook up. Another good thing is that I have not had to use the instruction book at all yet. The buttons on the remote are easy to understand when trying to access different features of the TV.

One thing that seems small, but is something I really like is that when you hit the 'on' button, the Vizio logo changes from white to orange so you know the TV received the signal. It only takes a couple seconds for the screen to display, but you could actually turn it back off thinking you didn't hit the button right without that signal.

Great HDTV!
We got this TV a little over a month ago and are very happy with it. The TV is in a bright room (one wall is all windows) and the ambient light sensor work great; keeping the image viewable regardless of light levels in the room. There is virtually no reflection from the screen, even with the windows open. The sound is OK, considering the small built-in speakers. The high-gloss plastic shows the kids finger prints, but that's just an annoyance.

We use the HDMI-1 input for our media player and the NTSC connection for Cable TV. Both work great.

Priced to please
My wife and I bought this TV at Walmart for 8. It is our first HDTV. We looked at a lot of them in various stores. I did a considerable amount of research and we finally decided on this one. Thought about a 120HZ model but didn't want to spend the extra money. It fits our budget and we are very satisfied with the quality and functionality. Don't have a blu-ray player yet but have watched standard DVDs with component video connection and picture quality is very very good. Streamed a Netflix movie or two in from our PC via HDMI cable and have viewed a considerable amount of satellite and over-the-air programming for the last month or so. Both standard def and HD picture quality, very nice. The volume leveling function is not perfect but it does help quite a bit. Sound with built-in speakers is good. Menus are user friendly and easy to navigate. Overall we are very pleased and would recommend this product to others.
