This TV is Great! Picked it up at SAMS Club for 578.00. This thing pretty much set itself up without too many commands from me. We have basic cable with what we thought were only a few channels available but, when we plugged the Vizio in, it automatically scanned for veiwable channels and now we have about 10 more channels than we had before. If your looking for a good looking, affordable, easy to use TV, this is it! The menus are pretty easy to use and actually make sense. Also, in most menus there is a reset option in case you get lost and can't remember what you changed. We also have the Bose 321 system with HDMI (wich looks amazing) and Roku (netflix) with HDMI and pretty soon the PS3 with HDMI. It just so happens there are 3 conveniantly placed HDMI inputs on the TV. Hands down, one of the best decisions I've made in a while

We decided to upgrade to an HDTV to prepare for using a Mac Mini as a media center (and drop the cable!) Of course, to make that work well, we needed a high-resolution display, so we decided to look only at 1080p-capable screens. Out living room is pretty small, so a 37" seemed adequate.

We were primarily looking at Samsung and Sony models, when my wife spotted this at Costco for under $600. I wasn't all that familiar with Vizio products, but I am a bit leery of smaller manufacturers. However, the picture looked good, and what I read gave me hope, so we went ahead and bought one.

I'm very happy with it so far. It has a good suite of inputs: 3 HDMI (2 rear/1 side), 2 component (1 rear/1 side), 2 composite (1 rear/1 side), 1 S-video (rear), 1 cable/antenna (rear), and a VGA (rear). I've tried the HDMI, component, and composite inputs, and all of them display very nicely on the screen. We don't actually have the computer connected yet, so I can't confirm how well it works, but I suspect it will be just fine.

We have most of the audio from our various devices going through a surround receiver, so I've only been using the TV speakers for the Wii. It's just a touch tinny--more than adequate, really, but not the same quality as the picture. However, since that's not a big issue for us, I don't hold it against the Vizio.

A nice additional benefit is that it is quite energy-efficient for a non-LED backlight; it uses about 110 watts. The remote is well laid out, and the on-screen menus (input selection and picture adjustment) are perfectly acceptable. It's got a 60Hz refresh rate. I don't have a lot of experience with 120Hz displays, but we haven't had a lot of problem with motion artifact with this set.

Highly recommended as a very nice TV for such a good price.

I purchased this tv about two weeks ago and i love it. the backlight and brightness control are outstanding way better than other similar brands. the sound is good especially for a flat panel. the picture quality is great. the menus are not as fancy as say a sony but at this price you cant complain. this tv is also half the weight of most 32" tvs i have seen. i love it and would highly recommend purchasing. plus it is made in the USA.
