- Just Right Review by MsJazzy

I just got this TV on Saturday, I have no complaints. It was easy to set up, sturdy, great picture... My complaint is the remote. What were you thinking?

- LOVE IT Review by rob

The best TV for the money hands down. My TV went watching the Superbowl and I ran to Walmart bought the 32 inch for $268 and sorry to say I watched the Patriots lose and think I saw a tear drop in Tom Brady's eye. Get a Vizio you wont be dissapointed.

- Very happy with it Review by cautious shopper
-
I just got the thing yesterday. Great picture. Good sound. Easy set-up. Good price. No problems or complaints. Comes with one year limited warranty on parts and labor--some TV's are only coming with 3 months! Good, large, easy to read, set up instructions and manual. The only thing I would improve is the remote. The buttons are too small and too close together. Sadly though, this is a industry-wide problem. I have not found one new TV that comes with a remote that is not similarly flawed. It's something that can only be solved by buying after-market remote controls, I guess.

- Wow! What a picture! Review by Jemexbla

I just returned a Westinghouse LED 32 inch because of the terrible picture and sound. I noticed the 32 inch VIZIO at under $300 so I bought it and my gosh am I a happy camper. The set up was so easy that I worried I'd forgotten something.
What a picture! Thanks for a "great" product in my price range.(Posted on 1/10/12)
- Great Color Review by Mr Binx

Just bought another E321VL for my office downstairs. Bought one for the wife for Christmas for the bedroom. Have a 42" and a 24" in the kitchen. For the money you can't beat the color and I have no problem with the sound. We only run DVD's through them and all are clear and bright. I recommend the brand to anyone who asks.

- Fantastic TV Review by jeffreyo
-
I decided to upgrade my kitchen tv to a LCD unit. After reading many reviews on Vizio, some good, some bad, I went w a Sanyo. The Sanyo immediately started showing screen problems and I returned it to the store. I had been looking @ Vizio prior, and decided to purchase the 32", against the reviews. This set is performing far past my expectations. I'm a semi-retired engineer w a home office full of laptops, 23" monitors, etc.,all brand names. This Vizio out shines them all!!! When replacing the rest of my tvs, I will definately go with Vizio again. Now mind you, it has only been playing for a week, but ....

- Awesome TV Review by Monster Gal
-
I have ALWAYS wanted a Vizio, question was, when could I afford to get one. I saw this tv at WalMart and decided I had to get it. I have compared many tv's to the Vizio, in fact, when in the store, I could always pick out the Vizio because of the picture. I am sooo glad that I made this purchase, thank you Vizio for making such a quality product.

- Nice TV, poor remote Review by Bunter
-
The picture is great, the sound OK, easy set-up (a phillips screwdriver was even included! Nice touch). But unless your fingers are smaller than toothpicks, you'll need a different remote.

- SuPeR Tv! Review by Wegiangirl
-
I just bought this tv yesterday as a Christmas present to myself and I love it! I bought it at Walmart for 288.00 plus tax. I also bought one of those flat multi-directional hdtv antennas from RCA and set it on the shelf below the tv and the reception and picture is fantastic! The picture is so vivid and clear. I have no problems anymore with reception. It's very easy to set up and the remote is simple to understand. The sound is pretty good, but I may look into some sort of sound system. I recommend this tv!!

- Best of Show Review by rogerdoger
-
I was in Target looking at all 32" TV's and found this Vizio to have the best picture by far.
I also bought the Vizio Blu-ray, and found it very easy to install everything. The TV is lightweight enough I could pick it up easily. The sound is surprisingly good - lots of subtle nuances there.
I use off-air channels, and I lost a few when I changed from a regular TV to the Vizio. I'd thought it would be the opposite, that I would get more with a newer TV, but not so. Though I will use it with my Netflix and other movie sources, I still want all my local channels and am missing one, and a couple of others. I don't really want to spend another $70 to get yet another antenna, so I'm leaving the other TV hooked up to its antenna to get everything on it. This is the only negative so far, but it can be a big one in areas where off-air reception is difficult to get.(Posted on 11/26/11)
- A great tv!! Review by Cocoa

I purchased this tv and I am very happy of my purchased. This 32" has a great picture and great sound, especially for the price I purchased for at Target, 269.99, a great deal! I will recommend this tv to anyone who is looking for a great tv for the bedroom. I always wanted a Vizio product, I will be buying this product for now on. Thanks Vizio!

- Best TV I have ever owned! Review by Waldo
-
Vizio did an amazing job with this TV! Nice and simple design, plenty of connections, and easy to setup. Greatest of all is the display, amazing picture, in high def or standard def. Simple remote with good button placement. Easy to use menu. And the speakers on the tv are actually very good, contrary to some other reviews. Srs effects really liven up regular programming. All in all I give it a 10 out of 10.

- Great TV Review by Ben

I thought I would buy a less expensive model (Philips) for the bedroom. It would not identify the HD channels. I called tech support and they said it was a problem with my cable. I packed it up and returned it and paid a little more for a Vizio and hooked it up. I got every HD channel! I now have 3 Vizio's in the house and all work perfectly. I feel bad for trying to buy another brand. I am now loyal to Vizio TV's!

Best 32" t.v I've ever owned for any price. Picture is unreal. Football games are like being there. I saw an LED Sony t.v at Walmart for 3 times the price,and for the money this t.v .blows it away. I used to be a Sony man,but not anymore.I can't stop watching this Vizio.I love that cool light that lights up when you turn it on and turns orange when you turn it off. I payed $288.00 plus tax for this t.v. at Walmart. Amazing deal.

- Big surprise Review by Lizzybead
-
I intially had the unit hooked up to a DirecTV SD box. I wasn't very happy as the picture was always blurry no matter what I did. That was until I got the DirecTV HD box installed. Amazing improvement!
When purchased I was told the unit was a 720 HD. I figured for the money I was paying it might by OK. It wasn't, but now I have as good a set up in my bedroom as with my Sony 46" Bravia system. Once it was hooked up to the new box it began transmitting at 1080 P and the picture is great. I spend a good deal of time in my bedroom because of a disability...now I don't mind so much as this TV is way more than I expected and a much higher value than I could imagine. I am more than happy with this unit and don't think I will continue to be the loyal Sony customer I have been for the last 40 years or so.(Posted on 9/26/11)
- Excellent TV Review by Destiny
-
I purchased this TV at Walmart two weeks ago. It is absolutely wonderful. It has a great picture and great sound. There is nothing that I do not like about this tv. I researched for a month before making this purchase. This tv has a built in tuner so I was able to get rid of my converter box. It picks up my local channels way better than the converter box ever did. I am just amazed with this tv and I am thinking of purchasing another one for my dad as a Christmas present this year. I only had to use one cable (an hdmi cable) to hook it up so I do not have a bundle of wires going every which way which is very nice. You won't go wrong if you purchase this tv.

- Excellent TV for the Price! Review by Doug
-
This TV exceeds my expectations. Purchased the TV on 8/12/2011. Before this TV I owned a Sony 32". The Vizio is such a better TV as far as looks, picture quality, and easy to use remote control when compared to my old TV. I would recommend this TV to anyone looking for the most bang for the buck.

I PURCHASED THIS UNIT FROM WALBURNT AND I AM TOTALLY HAPPY WITH IT. THE REST OF MY STUFF IS SONY, BUT- SONY IS RATED AT #11 AND THE ONE I HAVE IS RATED AT # 4 SO I CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT EXCHANGE. THE GUY AT SONY SAID THAT THE SONY WAS BETTER AND EVEN GAVE ME THE CONSUMER WEBSITE TO CONFIRM THIS, SO I DID, ONLY TO FIND OUT HE COULDNT BE MORE WRONG! SONY ISNT EVEN IN THE TOP 10 WHILE MY VIZIO IS #4 AND THE PICTURE COULDNT BE BETTER. THANK YOU VIZIO!

- AWESOME!!! Love It!! Review by stevo rolo

I had bought an Emerson 32"LCD TV on Christmas of 2008 and it was a good TV i thought, but today, the 4th of July, my Emerson blew out. We went to Wal-Mart and this Vizio was the cheapest 32" TV comparable to my Emerson. I paid $328 for the Vizio, but we paid $399 for the Emerson. So I saved $70 and I couldn't believe it but the cheaper TV is a lot better than my old Emerson. Picture, Sound, the Works!! It is all better. I do wish there were a few more game console connections (red, white, and yellow RCA connections) There is only one but I was able to run one through my DVD player. But that is the only short coming i see so far. Thanks Vizio!!!

- Good TV. Review by Jeremy
-
Bought the TV at Wal-Mart for $328 bucks after taking back a crappy Emerson 40". The quality of the LCD is waaaaay better. Could not be happier. The tech specs say that the TV is only 720p. That is wrong, I have my PS3 hooked up to it and it is displaying at 1080p. I also have my PC hooked up to it and running it as a secondary monitor at 1920 x 1080 res. As a monitor the text is a little blurry but when I play movies and shows on it it looks excellent. The color adjustments work well and the picture presets are pretty spot on. The ambient light sensor works pretty well. Sometimes I can see the backlight change when there is no change in the ambient light in the room. It doesn't happen enough to be annoying so it's no big deal. Overall its a 5 star 32" and for the money you can't beat it.

This is the 2nd 32" that I have purchased. The first was hit by lightning. I love the picture quality of Vizio I just had to purchased another one. As far as I am concerned it has the best picture quality compared to any of the 32" out there. GREAT JOB VIZIO!!!

- Great TV with a great price Review by pastorbob
-
Bought this to replace an 11 year old 32" Sony CRT TV. Connected a spare computer with HDMI output and an older Creative Labs / Logitech speaker system combo and I have a poor man's home theater system. Streaming Hulu and other online videos is a breeze. Off-air HDTV channels look great. Even standard Direct TV looks and sounds much better than expected. Perfect size for our small living room. Compared to a smaller 22" LCD flat screen HDTV I have in my workout room this Vizo has a much better picture and sound quality.
Well done Vizio!(Posted on 6/3/11)

- good tv so far.. Review by bunnyboo
-
So far I like the tv. Bought at Walmart for $298 when it was marked $398. 720p wasn't my original pick, but I don't plan to play games on it. I can actually have stereo sound without hooking up my stereo for surround sound. I was sceptacle about purchasing this tv because of bad reviews of this brand. But so far so good. :)

- EXCEPTIONAL LCD TV Review by Grumpy

I research high and low and spent weeks checking prices before buying this TV. I was actually going in to Walmart to check out a LG that was on sale when I saw this one. The picture was better than, the contrast was better and the price was better.
I brought this one home. Easy set up and I was ready to go.
The whole family is happy with this TV. Thanks Vizio and Walmart!(Posted on 2/26/11)

Right out of the box I was impressed with how easy it was to unpack. I love the styling,the sleek black fre. The setup was very easy to understand. We have only had our new HD LCD tv and have purchased another identical one for our bedroom.10 points out of 10 points. Hands down, it's a winner.
