Average Rating : 
Rating :  - 5 stars within its class
By "5 stars within its class," I mean this is an excellent set if you don't compare it to much more expensive TVs with far more features. If you're just looking for an HDTV in this size with a really great picture and simple operation, and at a bargain price, this one qualifies nicely. It's currently being featured at Costco at a deep discount. (March 2010).
I connected mine to an over-the-air antenna, and the HD picture out of the box was simply outstanding. Another advantage that this model has over many of its competitors is the front-facing speakers and strong audio output. I previously bought a Samsung P2770HD with similar specs, except that the audio output from its down-pointing speakers was really poor, even at max output. I took it back to the store. You can hear this one in any room with the volume control at less than 50%.
Some reviewers have criticized this set because of its tinny sound (described as "hiss" or "static" in other reviews). That's largely because the default audio tone setting is "flat," and you can change it in the audio submenu. I set mine to "rock," which improved the bass and cut the tinniness.
I didn't have any of the other problems cited by other reviewers such as color bleed or a logo that won't go away. No logo on my screen.
I'm not a fan of Vizio in general, as it's by no means a top of the line manufacturer, and their sets rarely show up on any preferred list in Consumer Reports and the like. But I decided to take a chance on this one due to Costco's generous return policy. If it disappoints me within 90 days, I can take it back for a full refund. But first impression on this one is that it will be a keeper.
