Product Review (submitted on September 21, 2010):

This is my first bedroom TV, previously all I'd watched was an older Tube TV. I was a little hesitant to buy Vizio at first because I hadn't heard about it before. I bought new and all my fears are allayed. I haven't had any technical problems at all. Simplest setup in the world, you just put on the stand, connect a few cables, and you're good to go.

Even though this TV is only 720p, Blu-ray still looks incredibly crisp and it's an obvious upgrade from DVD. Many people told me I wouldn't see the difference on a small screen like this, but if your vision is good enough (mine's about average), you will. The black levels are pretty good, you might want to turn on the Black Level Extender in any case. A few people complained about the remote, but I really like it, it's got an ergonomic shape and fits nicely in your hand. In the back there is a headphone jack, but because of the way the TV is molded, my Sennheiser plug doesn't fit. That bothered me, but I found a way around it by just connecting straight to the BD player.

I can't say much for the sound because I have my Logitech speakers hooked up from my Blu-ray. I'd imagine not many people are going to be using the default speakers, anyway.

The only thing I wish it had is more options for aspect ratio. I believe anamorphic widescreen is not one of the options, I had to set that up on my BD player.

Overall: highly recommended! This TV is a joy to use and a great bargain. If you have any questions, let me know.
