 "great bedroom tv" 2010-01-19
By Eric Harnischfeger (Rochester, NY)
I purchased this television about a month ago from target and am very satisfied with it. While the on sale price of 279$ helped sway my decision I also sell these tv's everyday at my job and have never heard any complaints about them. To start I'm pretty sick of the whole bashing 720p thing...the fact is that on a tv this small 1080p really wouldn't be recognizable and the picture is just as good as on my old 40" Samsung 5 Series which to put it bluntly is amazing. As for the viewing angle complaints from many other reviews all I have to say is that I have only noticed slight blacking out of the picture when you're viewing the television from above or below it and it really isn't that noticeable. Beyond that my only other complaints are the giant and quite basic remote and the so-so sound from the speakers but for the cost I can deal. I would recommend this tv to anyone looking for a good bedroom tv that would not be viewing it from either above or below and who doesn't mind mediocre sound quality.

 "Worst consumer purchase EVER!!" 2009-12-17
By J. Hengler (Eden Prairie, MN United States)
TV completely died after only 6 months. Vizio sent out a repair tech who was unsuccessful at repairing the TV. Once the repair tech determined it was not fixable. They came up with a great solution....not. Vizio was going to mail me a box (CA to MN). Once I recieve the box and I am to put the broken TV in the box and mail it back to the CA warehouse. Once they receive the box with the broken TV then they will mail me a different REFERBISHED TV to replace it. Timeline...11/13 this started. Today is 12/17 and I still do not have the REFERBISHED TV in my possession. WHAT A JOKE! Spend the extra couple hundred for a Sony or trusted brand.



Worst product I have ever made a purchase on. More importany was the horrible customer service. It's one thing if your product goes faulty....completely another when you get horrible service with it. I have been telling everyone I know not to buy VIZIO.

 "Got what I paid for" 2009-09-26
By J. Navarro (California)
Don't buy this tv if you have extremely high expectations that this will be your main tv. Its an excellent bargain, very good tv. I have it in my room and its excellent. Out in my living room, yes I have a high quality tv. But in my room, this tv is sufficient and excellent. I got what I paid for! $379.99 is not bad at all. I'm very pleased. I view other tv's of this size and why pay more when they serve a simple purpose for my viewing pleasure only. Love it! Thanks vizio.

 "Great picture--no problems" 2010-01-11
By M. Molinaro (Philadelphia, PA USA)
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).

 "Pop of Death" 2009-12-28
By J. McElroy (San Jose, CA USA)
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.

 "at least a 4 star" 2009-12-06
By RW (MONTANA)
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.

 "Great little tv" 2010-01-02
By L. Williams (Atlanta, GA United States)
I have had this TV for a little over a month, and really I like it, especially since I got it on sale. It was easy to set up (took maybe 15-20 minutes). Picture quality has been pretty good so far, especially through my blu ray(sony n460). I have Direct TV, but I don't pay for HD right now, but plan to get it soon. My picture is actually pretty good now, except on my sports channels, and thats where the difference comes in. After doing much research, I came to the conclusion that for a 32 inch 1080p and 120 hz wasn't all that necessary, but when it comes to sports it does make a difference. Fortunately Direct TV is adding more sports stations to the HD package, so that should resolve that issue. That being said, depending on your required use, this a great little tv, especially since it comes a great price point. For use with a video game console and to watch movies (either on regular tv or via blu ray or streaming video), it's great. The TV has a lot of great features and adjustments to make it suite your specifications. Overall, it's more than worth it's price, and that its supposed to ECO friendly.

 "Vizio Review - Buyer Beware!" 2009-12-31
By Happy Kat (San Jose, CA)
BUYER BEWARE!!! I purchased this from Adorama Camera through Amazon and the TV was dead right out of the box!!! So disappointed as it was a gift! Adorama does NOT exchange/replace TV's so stuck dealing with Vizio directly. (Amazon doesn't help out either, you are on your own). Vizio customer service is poor, slow and I still have no working tv. So much for how great this tv is, I wouldn't know since it was shipped dead - guessing a dead power supply. Anyway still waiting for parts & a repair person to come out. For the same cost I should have bought the tv at Walmart - at least I would have been able to return and get another working tv ASAP!

 "Old coaxial cable from my old rooftop antenna gives me free high def TV (local channels)" 2009-12-30
By Marc Trevino
I have an 20+ year old rooftop antenna which I never used once I got satellite TV. Using an old coaxial cable (the same ones we use for cable TV), I hooked up this TV to my old rooftop antenna. This TV has a coaxial cable input for this purpose.



After attaching coaxial cable and running a channel search function on TV, I got several crisp, clear, free local HD channels (including all the major networks). A decoder box was NOT necesssary (I'm assuming TV has a built in HD tuner). No special "high tech" antenna was necessary. No special "high tech" cables were necessary. I live approx 40 miles south of Chicago and I am able to get all the major networks (sometimes can't get signal for Channel 2 CBS, which is historically a problem in my area).



This TV replaced a 27 inch RCA which I had for several years. The TV does a nice job with my standard definition satellite signal (my satellite is a digital signal, but NOT a high definition signal). I attached my satellite decoder box to TV using the s-video input on back of TV. I also attached my old DVD player using component video inputs on back of TV. I'm amazed how my standard definition satellite and an old DVD player look so much better on this TV (both in color and clarity).



The picture on this TV does get slightly "stretched" when watching satellite TV (picture stretches to fill all 4 corners). This "stretching" can be altered with different types of settings to fit your taste. Or, you can undue the "stretching" all together and watch it with a square picture. Whatever you like....it's not a problem with this TV.



Considering the price, the picture is very nice. I use in "retail mode" like others suggested (less energy efficient). Also use "vivid" picture mode, which I think gives the nicest picture and best color.



Sound quality is good considering small speakers (sound is comparable to my old 27" RCA). Sound is just fine for a large bedroom.

 "Nice TV for $$" 2009-12-13
By T. Ayres (Pennsylvania)
Ordered this thru Amazon and it was out of stock, but stock was quickly replenished. Set up was easy. Not currently using HD feature but it is a real nice TV for the money. Only problem is the sound is kind of distorted. Am playing with the adjustments but might decide to go with external speakers if I can't get the problem resolved.

 "Good picture in store" 2009-12-02
By Richard H. Martin (Columbia, MO USA)
That title has two meanings. This bargain 720p HDTV can be made to display a very good picture, but not if you 'obey' Vizio's instruction manual. You will pay a big penalty if you fall for Vizio's green marketing baloney.



It appears that all TV manufacturers adjust their picture controls at the factory to make their displays stand out in a lineup on a shelf in the store. Often that creates a picture which at home is inaccurate, too bright, too contrasty, over sharpened, etc. Thus any new TV must be 'calibrated' to produce a picture that correctly reproduces the video signal it receives. Sure enough, Vizio does that with the VO320E too. But that makes it draw more current. So during the initial setup routine the manual advises you to select the "Home Mode" rather than "Retail Mode," to "give you the opportunity to save energy." It says nothing about any effect on picture quality. So, good (and penny-pinching) citizen that I am, I dutifully punched in Home Mode before proceeding, a few days later, with calibrating the set using the Digital Video Essentials (DVE) system. When I finished the picture indeed looked pretty good... at night in a very dimly lit room. But in daylight it was lousy--dim, dull, and washed out. An unpleasant surprise, since a review of inexpensive LCDs in the October, 2009 issue of Consumer Reports had graded the VO320E's picture as "excellent." By then I had forgotten about that "Home"/"Retail" toggle, which doesn't appear in the VO320E's regular picture-tuning menus. After considerable fussing with brightness, contrast, color and other controls, often in flagrant violation of what DVE advised, I was about ready to return the set--which I bought for our brightly illuminated kitchen--when I realized that, duh, a little more juice might make a difference. And it did--a big difference. But I wish that Visio would admit the dirty trick they used in order to put "ECO" in the VO320E's name.



So, set it up in the "Retail" mode and the VO320 (I presume that eliminates the "E") will indeed deliver an excellent picture. Not up to the quality of a 46" 1080p 120 or 240 Hz set, but fine for a second or third TV, and costing much less. It is light, easy to mount on a wall, and visually attractive--surprisingly unobtrusive for its size, and a thin strip of chrome along its bottom edge adds a neat touch of class. Vizio is to be commended for providing a printed 67-page manual that is all in (reasonably clear and non-geeky) English--although it does not manufacture the VO320E in the United States as another reviewer claims (at least my set says it was made in China). The 'calibration' process (Vizio calls it "fine tuning") is simple and straight forward, at least if you don't try to use DVE, and most of the controls' default settings proved to be nearly correct when checked with DVE's test patterns--I had to change "Color" from 50 to 45 to get a fair calibration using DVE's red, green and blue filters, and reduce "Sharpness" from 4 to 1 (but I subsequently decided that a tad more sharpening gave the picture a little more pizzazz, despite what DVE concluded).



I hesitate to gripe about sound quality in a TV as small and inexpensive as this, but since no other Amazon reviewer has as yet done so, here goes. Plan to hook the VO320E up to some other audio device if you possibly can (fortunately, we had an old Bose CD player on a table in the same corner of the kitchen). You can turn off the VO320E's tinny little speakers, and the "Analog Audio Out" control can be set to "Variable," allowing the TV volume and mute controls to regulate an external audio device (a convenience that my much fancier HDTV in the family room lacks). There is even an equalizer included among the audio controls--a welcome feature since the VO320E's audio amplifier distorts badly, apparently in an attempt to compensate for the shortcomings of its speakers.



For its price, this is a fine 32-inch HDTV. Were it not for Vizio's Eco-prevarication, and the tinny sound, both of which are easily overcome, I would give it five stars.
