 "Satisfied customer" 2010-01-31
By L. Dundovich (Eldridge, IA)
I was very satisfied with product and the value. This is the second 26" Vizio that we have purchased. We bought the same one for our other son and have not had any problems with either one. The picture quality is excellent and works well for movies and videogames - which is what our kids use them for. I also like the sound quality better on the Vizio vs. our samsung 26" tv. I would definitely recommend this TV to others. Great value!

For the price it is a value. The color is great. I was always a Sony's brand and afraid to switch. It is a great tv and I'll considered buying a larger Vizio when I get purchase a home.

 "Crisp, Sleek, Awesome Quality" 2010-01-25
By The Geek (USA)
My wife and I went to Best Buy today hoping to walk out of the store with the Sony BRAVIA 26-inch tv, which sold for about $389.99. When we arrived, this model was no longer available. Best Buy wasn't even pushing their own line, which is Insignia. Instead, the sales people were pushing me to upgrade to a 32-inch Sony. The intent of this new purchase was to install the tv into a bedroom and all we had was about 28-inches of reasonable space to install the tv on the wall. Even though the 32-inch Sony would be a great picture, we knew it would not fit in the wall space. We looked at the Insignia 26-inch 720p DVD Combo unit for about $329.99 and were ready to walk out the door with it, but hesitated and decided to check out BJ's Wholesale before.



When we walked into BJ's, we immediately saw the Vizio 26-inch VL260M LCD HDTV for about $319 and thought it was a great buy. Then we noticed with amaze that it was a Full HD 1080P. That is what made us decide on the purchase and walked out the door with it.



First off, there is no comparison between the Vizio 1080P versus the Best Buy Insignia 720P. The differences were in favor of the Vizio because of the higher pixels of 1080P; plus the price was about $10 cheaper for a better quality picture and brand.



Now, let me fill you in on a little secret. Even though I have a technical background, I am not up to par with the LCD tv's. This is my first LCD tv, upgrading from a big bulky tube tv. I really didn't know what the differences were until I started researching, only to discover that the 1080P meant the tv had 1080 pixels, versus the 720P. What this meant was the with 1080P, the clarity of the picture would be cleaner and crispier. For the $319 price at BJ's, I thought it was a steal.



I also purchased the Sylvania Wall Mount for 18" - 40" Plasma/LCD TVs for about $80 at BJ's. I wanted a heavy mount and one that would have full motion for me to move the screen from out of the corner to a good area where I could view the picture. This wall mount was also purchased at BJ's. Best Buy wanted to sell me a wall mount for $99 that would only allow the tv to move from left to right and not swivel or move up or down. If I wanted that feature, I would have to pay at least another $50 more. Instead, I saved and feel I got a very good mount for the Vizio tv.



Now onto the Vizio tv. Installation was simple. After mounting the wall mount bracket, I had to mount the tv onto the back of it and then it slid right into the bracket on the wall. Piece of cake. The tv is packaged in the box with the stand bracket, but I removed it to give a sleeker look when mounted on the wall.



Since I only bought the tv a few hours ago, I haven't quite got into all the audio and video hookups yet. That's my project for tomorrow, to hook up the speakers and other external devices. But, once you plug in the cable line to the back of the tv and turn it on, the setup mode is active. After you make your proper selections, choosing cable, the system will then do a search for all channels available, showing both the number of digital and analog channels while searching. The search takes about 5 minutes or so, but it runs by itself. After it is done, you are finished. It's that simple.



You don't need to be a technical wizard to install this tv, especially on a wall mount. I was planning on having my electrician mount the tv and set everything up, but that would have cost me more money. I thought that as long as I followed the directions, I could install it myself, which I did.



I also compared the Vizio to the Samsung and liked the sleeker look of the Vizio. It has more of a flat look to it, rather than the bulky Samsung shape. The deal at BJ's Wholesale was great, especially where now I am seeing normal retail prices for about $350. So, I saved a few bucks at a wholesale club. Either way, I would have spent the $350 for this tv because the clarity is incredible.



This model is beautifully styled with what Vizio calls a "dark java brown finish". I really don't know what drak java brown looks like but it's pretty close to black, IMO. The 1080p resolution displays razor sharp images and has a 50,000:1 contrast ratio for deep blacks and bright, vibrant colors. One of its features, which I have yet to experience is the SRS Trusurround HD(tm). I have a Bose surround system I intend to install on this and am sure with the SRS Truurround feature, it'll blow me out of the room.



There is another nice feature on this TV I am looking forward to experiencing. It is the capability of supporting connectivity to a computer via RGB to VGA connectivity. This is a feature I was looking for because having the ability to experience what I see on my computer, I can probably do the same with this TV.



The downside is there is no USB hookup, but if I can get my computer hooked up to it, who needs the USB port. It also does not have a built in DVD player, but then again, who needs it. You can buy a simple Sony dvd player for about $50 and plug it into the back of this TV. I am not really a big fan of builtins like the DVD player because if there is a problem with it, that's the end of it period. If the DVD player breaks or stops working, it's useless and you can't remove it and replace with a new one.



Overall, I would definitely recommend this Vizio model to anyone who is looking for an inexpensive and quality product. I think you will agree that the clarity on this LCD is pretty close to a Sony. Believe me that you will enjoy the TV experience.

By kpg (Wisconsin)
Then first unit was lost in transit - did not arrive until after Christmas. Amazon arranged a replacement unit and waived the shipping charge - high expectations of service are always warranted at Amazon.

The TV is as advertised, with the 1080p resolution and a Blu-Ray dvd player the image is very nice. The remote is uncluttered, clearly labelled, and therefore easy to use. The blacks are quite dense, and motion is smooth. Thanks to Amazon and the great service - it remains my number one on-line shopping site.

 "Input Problems" 2010-01-01
By J. Wenner
We recently purchased this tv and it was a great value for the price. However, the remote control was broken and the tv does not have a way to switch inputs manually. Vizio's customer service was very helpful and is sending us a new remote, but even the rep was surprised that there was no way to switch inputs without a remote. I hope that Vizio changes this design flaw.

By Anita M. Wilson (Erie, PA)
My Vizio 42" HDTV is just the right size for my living room. Picture quality is excellent for HD programs and very good on others. I purchased a Vizio soundbar and sub-woofer to provide a fuller sound, and I am very satisfied with the results. I had planned to purchase a Sony Bravia, but it has a lot more features that I didn't need and didn't want to pay for. I'm happy with my Vizio.

Was going to get a phillips tv but was sold out so I looked at the vizio. build quality looked solid and everything worked as it should. Havent had any issues thus far. Only thing that will ever show that the tv was cheaper then normal is the manual with its cheap photos but thats nothing to complain about.



Also to fix the change in volume from the speakers turn off the srs true volume. It tends to over correct the volume and thus creates the random volume levels.

 "VIZIO vt420m great bang for your buck" 2010-01-05
By Oscar D. Garcia (San Jose,ca)
I tried really hard to find a comparable difference between SONY , SAMSUNG, VIZIO on tvs under 800 dollars. I couldn't find one. I stared at all three televisions for 45 minutes straight...not a considerable difference. For the money, you can't go wrong. its the right balance of size, picture quality and price. I hooked up my ps3 to compare the quality between this tv and a 46" xbr from SONY. I was shocked to see that this tv had by far produced a better picture (although the sony is 2 years old). Audio is poor and does fluctuate from time to time. I've had it for a month and cant say that I've seen any green lines or issues. If you wan't a television under 1000 dollars, i would highly recommend you take a look at this vizio. I don't think vizio can hold a candle when it gets to the higher priced tv's, but when it competes in this price range...it excels

 "Absolute Nightmare" 2009-11-16
By Mathew P. Sewell (Sioux Falls, SD)
I bought my Vizio after my first SONY HDTV died after only 1 year of service. I decided that I would purchase a Vizio as it was far cheaper than a Sony and I couldn't really see what was worth paying more money if the tv would be dead within 1 year anyways.



Well, it started out alright. First day with it was fine. The second day, however, the picture would begin to flicker, then go completely black, once or twice a day. It was fixed by simply turning the tv off and then on, but was still very annoying. However, the problem only got worse, and fast, degrading to the point that the picture would go out nearly once every fifteen minutes over the course of the next week. I contacted Vizio and they had no ready solution and wanted me to send my tv out for up to two months so they could try to find out what was wrong. I had absolutely no desire to ditch the tv for two months, and so I said thanks but no thanks.



I have never had a good experience with and HDTV, but Vizio is the only one that was absolute crap right-out-of-the-box. I Was so frustrated I could have cried. I've now spent $3,0000 on HDTV's in the past 2 years and every single one has died in less than 12 months, but the Vizio went to crap the fastest.

 "Great value! Great picture!" 2009-10-21
By Saxman1005 (USA)
I've had this TV for a 1 1/2 months now and it has been amazing. The picture quality is outstanding - the only way you are going to get better picture is to buy an LED TV, but those have their downside as well.



The built-in speakers are very weak and the audio level sometimes fluctuates a bit. That being said, if you hook it up to an external sound system you won't need the built-in speakers.



This TV works extremely well with my cable box, DVD player and even my Nintendo Wii.



Highly recommended.

 "great features but wrong direction for vizio" 2009-12-18
By Jeffery W. Daniels
i have this tv. i just recieved it about 2 days ago. decent picture. although through dish network hd the vizio 47" sv470m handles motion blur much better. this 120 hz tv just doesn't handle fast moving objects very well. seeing that this brand is really pushing that feature on this model makes me wonder which way vizio is heading. also, on 720 you if you watch in normal screen mode, your 47 inch tv is has about 6" black borders all around tv. you can zoom to full screen mode and this fixes it. the hdmi interface seems to be glitchy at times. blu ray also is not as good. i tested on transformers 2. the scene where optimus fights all the deceptacons . the fast paced action on thr transformers was okay but the background appeared blurry at times. once again, on the vizio 47" sv470m (lower cheaper model)it was much better. this tv has poor black levels but the overal picture is decent. i have owned quite a few lcd and plasma tv's and this tv is a good buy only if you pay under 1000$. this tv is suppose to be better than the sv470m. they are both 120hz tv. but the lack of cinema mode one the vt470m stinks. overall experience with the lower model was much better.

 "Do Not Bother!" 2010-01-13
By C. M. Ramsey (Tyler, TX)
I bought the Vizio Razor to replace our 13" Sony in our kitchen. After looking at several different TV's I decided to buy the Vizio Razor. The picture was very good, and I had heard that Vizio was a good brand. The problems started shortly after I got it hooked up and turned on. After being on for about 2 minutes it went to a blue screen with a message of "No Signal". I tried another TV in the house and the signal was fine. After playing with the menu features I was finally able to get the picture back. This happened again later that evening, and I was again able to get the picture back after going into the menu feature. Then it happened again the next day, but I could not ever get the blue screen to go away this time. What little time it did work correctly I found 2 annoying problems. The sound quality was very poor. It sounded like it was coming out of a tin can. Also the remote would only work if you were standing directly in front of the TV. Needless to say I took it back to the store for a refund yesterday and will not be buying another Vizio. It's a shame because it is a good looking TV with a great picture.

 "Vizio 19" LCD LED" 2010-01-05
By VideoEditor (Washington,DC)
1. Vizio on screen controls lower left, keep popping up, stay 15-30 seconds on

screen, then pop off screen for 1-5 seconds, then just keeps repeating.

This activity is inconsistant, seems to be triggered when using exit

button. Also, the exit button does not clear this control but it eventual

stops, only to return when turning TV back on.

2. all channels above 100 have extensions, ie 101-2311, 102-49,102-5011 etc.

does not recognize the cable designations and cannot have name assigned to



3. 3 second channel change exccesive

4. no ability to create favorites menu for quick access to channel

5. cannot enter channels above 99 on remote

6. this is first remote i've used that does not have a designated "menu" button.

Using "OK" to access menus is annoying and confusing. put Menu and Exit

buttons just under the OK cross, better for true one hand operation

7. I know the TV is a Vizio, i don't need the Vizio LOGO for 5 seconds at turn

on.

While the HD picture is perfect, having great video on a kitchen TV just

isn't worth the irritation factor This is a return, unless Vizio has a

firmware upgrade that is easily installed and that solves these problems

 "Great HD picture, problematic TV tuner" 2010-01-03
By Gerry in Texas
I agree with the other reviews, but would add a warning about the TV tuner.



On the plus side, the 720p and 1080i HD picture quality is amazing, very bright and sharp with good contrast. The sound is perhaps the best I've ever heard from a low end TV, with more volume than I could ever use. I haven't had a chance to try the digital photo frame feature or the pause live TV feature, but they are both nice to have if they work as advertised. The remote control allows you to access all features.



However, I will be returning the set because of problems with the TV tuner. As I read on another web site, the tuner is annoyingly slow when changing channels. Each time you use channel up or channel down the screen goes blue for about 2 seconds, and sometimes 3 before the new channel is displayed. If you jump to a channel by entering the number from the remote's keypad you will stare at the blue screen for 4 to 5 seconds.



If slow channel changes were the only problem I would just learn to live with it due to the amazing HD picture and sound. Unfortunately there are two other tuner problems, one of which is a too much for me.



First, there is a minor issue where if you punch in a non-existent channel number by accident the input buffer is not cleared until some period of time well after the unit has gone back to displaying the current channel number. I.e., you punch in a wrong number, the unit eventually reverts to displaying the current number, but then when you try to enter a correct number again the digits from the previous attempt are still in the input buffer and they get added to the new number you are trying to enter. You end up having to just sit and wait for some period of time (10 - 20 seconds) before you can enter a new channel number.



I suppose I could also learn to live with that. But what I can't live with is a completely broken 'last' feature. On the VM190XVT they should call this feature the 'Las Vegas' button because when you press it you are just rolling the dice and you have no way of knowing which previous channel it will revert to.



I've spent around 2 hours trying to figure out how to beat this error. At first I thought 'last' worked correctly for channels you went to by using the channel up/channel down buttons, but not for direct entry. This wasn't true. Then I thought it was related to the period of time between channel changes. Perhaps if I left each channel selected for some minimum period of time between changes I could get the feature to work. Not true. Then I tried direct channel entry only, both with me triggering the channel change by pressing 'Ok', and with the TV deciding when it was time to jump to the new channel. Still broken. Then I thought perhaps it had problems with 'dash' channels, like '13-1', but not with base channels like '13', so I tried base channels only. Made no difference. Over a long period of time I tried many combinations of all of the above. Nothing worked reliably. 'Last' will sometimes revert to the most recent previous channel, but most of the time it doesn't. It will also become stuck on a channel for no obvious reason. It then stays stuck until you select a new channel while viewing the stuck channel. Weird.



I would be interested to hear about other people's experience with 'last' on the VM190VXT. I don't know if this is a general problem, or if I just have a buggy tuner. Regardless, this unit is going back.



+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



Update: I spent 20 minutes on the phone with Vizio tech support. It is their opinion that the problems I see are caused by a bad remote control and they offered to send a replacement. I may or may not pursue that option. I have no desire to get stuck with this unit if that doesn't fix the problem and my return window closes.



Those that are experiencing the menu pop-up problem should see if it always happens after you have used the remote. The remote could be causing the problem.



+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



Final update: The replacement remote came in the mail today. It didn't fix anything, all problems listed above with the 'Last' feature and direct channel entry are still exactly the same. I give up, this unit has permanent problems and I am returning it for a refund before I get stuck with it.

 "So close, but no cigar for Vizio..." 2010-01-02
By JustaConsumer
The Vizio VM190XVT is so close but no cigar. Amazing pictures at the price point FAR superior to the competition but Vizio fumbles the ball at the one yard line.



No STANDBY provision when used as a computer monitor. When computer goes to sleep the monitor shows a bright BLUE screen. Not energy conscious.



The power cord supplied with the Vizio VM190XVT has a BRICK to drop line current down to the low voltage this TV requires. Rather than place the brick in the middle of the power cord where it won't interfere it was placed on the end precluding it's use in many power strips, UPS units, and outlets.



No excuse for the power cord brick other than inadequate field testing prior to release and no standby mode is laughable when you claim to be GREEN.

Use this unit with standard cable t.v. programming and TiVo service, also use it with a Wii. Set it up by myself( technically challenged female) to cable and TiVo (isues with setting it up with TiVo but that was on TiVo's end not due to the t.v.) works very well for our needs. I have this t.v. in a fairly large living area and think due to the recent addition of the wii I would have considered the 1080p unit. Have had NO issues with it in the 2 years I have owned it.

 "Surprisingly easy to use, good picture, better sound than expected" 2010-01-08
By B. Pinson (Cordova, TN)
Very easy set up. The TV is about as plug-and-play as you can find.



The overall value of this tv is great for a medium sized HD TV. The picture is great. No complaints there.



The speakers on the tv are what really surprised me. Very good quality. I tested them with the Quantum of Solace preview and it was great.



The remote is simple and has just what you need on it. Navigating the on screen tv menu is pretty easy.



We are using the stand that came with the tv and it was easy to set up. All you need is a screwdriver to instal 4 screws that connect the stand to the tv.



The only thing I don't like about the tv is a visual thing. On the front at the bottom where the speakers are. Instead of being flush and straight across, the speakers sort of invert on themselves and go in toward the back of the screen. It's not a big deal but I wish it was just clean and straight across.



The packaging was secure and the tv arrived undamaged, which is always good.



Over all I am very happy with the tv and consider it a good deal.

By J. McCranie (Brunswick, GA United States)
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.

2 HDMI, the second one includes audio phono jack inputs

1 RGB PC, including 1/8" jack for the sound

2 Component

1 composite/S-video (including audio)

1 coax



Output:

1 digital optical output (SPDIF).

no headphone output jack or audio phono output jacks

 "Good for watching, bad for gaming!!!" 2009-08-21
By 1Dub79 (Fairburn, Ga.)
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.

 "Vizio poor support" 2009-07-05
By Tim Obi (jacksonville, FL)
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.
