Fantastic
TV!, I bought this TV yesterday and set it up in about 5 minutes. The menu options are a breeze and the picture is unbelievable. I always find problems with the Sound level or quality on most TV's that aren't hooked up to some sort of audio system, but the sound from this TV is the bomb! I bought this for $458 brand NEW! I love it!! Highly recommend!

best 37"
lcd for the money, hands down., Just got this last week. Could not be
happier with my purchase. This is a really good product, and unbeatable
for the price.
Big Pros:
1. Great picture quality and accurate color, even with non-HD sources. No
issues with jitter or artifacting, even during high-speed motion scenes.
2. Super simple menus and controls. Everything is well-designed and placed
exactly where you'd expect to find it. You can even name the various
inputs so you don't have to remember which port your devices are plugged
into.
3. Decent sound, for an LCD (Note to the other reviewers who criticized
the sound: Come on! If you're that passionate about audio fidelity, get a
stereo. There's no LCD on the market that produces deep, rich audio...
there just isn't enough room in the box to put large speakers.)
4. LOTS of options for adjusting color, contrast, picture size/position
and audio (but the factory settings work just fine for me).
5. Uses less that 75 watts of energy when powered on, and less that 1 watt
when off!
Minor Cons:
1. Very mediocre styling (looks like the tv and remote were designed in
1990).
2. The back-lit Vizio logo stays on even when the TV is off. (Come on,
Vizio!)
3. Power button is hard to get to.
4. No side-mounted HDMI port.
5. The base could be sturdier (just a little too much wobble for my
comfort). Also wish it had a swivel base.
6. The high-gloss finish on the plastic bezel is way too delicate. Managed
to scratch it just wiping clean with windex and a paper towel.
7. The "quick start" instruction sheet is made for several different
models, and most of it DOESN'T apply to this model.
Audio tip:
Though I believe the "TruVolume" setting is supposed to REDUCE problems
with volume jumping between commercials and shows (and volume difference
between channels), I found the sound was much better with this option
turned OFF. Go to Menu -> Audio -> Advanced Audio to change.
Tips for AT&T UVerse users:
- Use remote code "1343" to program your UVerse remote, not the codes
provided by Vizio or ATT.
- To ensure you're sending the highest resolution signal to your tv, go to
Menu -> Options -> System Options -> Aspect Ratio, and change to 1080i.
