Bought this at Target for around $470 (no, not cheapest price, I know, but we had to get one quick--grandkids coming the next day and the old Sony bit the dust). Setup was very easy. We like the appearance, although some people are bothered by the lighted brand name on the front (I don't notice it when I'm watching, but if I did I would just cover it with tape).
CONTROLS
Changing the image aspect ratio (how long, tall, compressed, etc. it looks) is harder than it need be--some remotes have a dedicated button for this, but as far as I can tell, it takes at least three clicks to get to the on-screen menu where you can change how much of the image appears. Other controls on the remote are pretty good--nice big rocker switches for volume and channel changes.
PICTURE QUALITY
With a good HD signal, color and sharpness are excellent--as good as any other set I've seen in stores or homes. Maybe not as bright as some large plasma screens I've seen. With poor signal or inferior station equipment (like the local college public access channels) the image is less good, as expected. Regular DVD's and VHS tapes look as good as their quality permits.
SOUND QUALITY
Like most other in-set speakers in relatively small tv's, the sound is nothing to write home about, and the controls can't help a whole lot. Thin bass, especially. But you were going to put the sound through your stereo setup anyway, like we do, right? Then the sound is as good as your stereo's speakers.
MISC
We just switched from an analog set (and cable) and I didn't realize that we would now get three and four channels where we used to get one. Nice surprise.
We sit about seven feet away from the screen and 32" is fine. If we were another four feet back it would start to feel too small, though.
OVERALL
Very satisfied, beautiful picture quality in most cases, no problems so far (a month).

Great price great picture.
Only problem is that after a year there was a loud pop then the tv no longer worked.
Vizio will not help and sent me to the non-warranty number.
I called that number 11 times without a response.
I googled and found that the problem is called the POP of Death.
Good tv if you consider tv's disposable.

I've heard good things about Vizio over the last few years. I had my doubts on the product as buying one for my TV because they are low-cost and I figured the quality would follow. I was wrong. I ended up buying this Vizio (two weeks ago) as a computer monitor and not that much desire to use for video or HDTV but stumbled on a good price at cost co for 390 and being a 1080p I thought I would give it a try. It turned out to be a good choice. My computer matched up to it easily with a analog monitor output that plugged straigt into the TV analog input, along with the audio jack next to it (see the one of three pictures I uploaded). In terms of the quality of the TV/monitor resolution I am amazed it is this good with an analog connection (I honestly can't see a fault unless I'm playing a video full screen off the internet (netflix movie download). Regular DVD video is perfect, no resolution issues. What I have not checked out yet is the DVI digital to HDMI connection as I have a cable on order and should be testing this out next week - to see if the resolution improves when playing video at full screen off the internet. In view of web pages full screen off the internet - I see no problem even using this analog serial monitor connection (my comuter has the resolution setting at 1920x1080).
I also wanted to point out that I have my Vizio connected to a 2-month old HP, slimline 5150t computer. It has 4 gig of ram and it was just under $500 - not an expensive computer, and I'm running Windows 7. I'm happy with the compatability with the Vizio but if I had it to order over again (the computer) I would have ordered the HDMI graphic card option rather than end up with a DVI monitor jack which doesn't pass audio when connected to the TV. Where, an HDMI connection passes the full audio and video. For the extra $60 to HP it would have been worth the money and a perfect match up with the Vizio.
I'll update this comment after I get my new DVI to HDMI cable and let you know if/how it improves. Right now I can say I'm really happy with the Vizio, its much better than my 4 year old, $500 20" Dell monitor I unplugged.
