5.0 out of 5 stars
Most excellent picture, sound, remote, setup & interface..., January 12, 2009
This review is from: Vizio VOJ320F1A 32" 1080p LCD HDTV TV (Electronics)
This is an excellent product in every way !!! Including a guarantee of "No Defective Bright Pixels" !!! -- The picture is outstanding from ANY angle ,,, truly no fade-out at the sides !!! I'm impressed.
The Wizard setup is a piece-of-cake ,,, Just click OK. The Menus are navigable and comprehensible i.e. If confused choose "standard".
The high quality REMOTE, which is stable when standing upright, feels comfortable in my hand, has a nice weight, a soft felt back and easy to reach and comprehend buttons. Remote response time is immediate [after initial channel download]. The angle of Remote Control to TV reception is near 90 degrees; if you can see the screen ,,, so can the remote :-)
The SOUND quality is MOST excellent. Not tinny or muffled !!! I have it set at 30, out of 100, and I can easily hear and understand as I walk throughout my home. A marked difference from other TV's I've owned where the audio becomes garbled, muffled and I can't understand at any volume.
The CONNECTORS are of ALL TYPES and are mounted on both the back and the side. They are clearly labeled for their function ,,, and correspond to the Remote Control buttons.
I just took delivery of my Vizio today. Before purchase I read criticisms on another website ,,, those criticisms ARE BOGUS in my view. This product is MOST EXCELLENT !!! In every way !!! Maybe all of the criticisms have been addressed by VISIO ??? This Model has been out since at least 2006, sale price at that time $1,000.00.
The setup took me 5 minutes out-of-the-box !!! --
Oh yeah ,,, there's another nice feature, a built-in remote mounted on the side for those who can't keep track of that "mobile" remote control :-)

I love this TV, June 6, 2009
This review is from: Vizio VOJ320F1A 32" 1080p LCD HDTV TV (Electronics)
I decided that it was finally time to do something about the 15-year old 19" CRT I've been using in the bedroom, and I spent weeks looking at every 32" LCD TV sold in the area (many trips to Best Buy, Sears, Target, Walmart, anywhere that carried TVs). I thought I had convinced myself that the Sony XBR6 or XBR9 was the right choice. However, last week Target had these on sale for $519, and I had another 10% off anything, so the final price was about $470 - 400 less than the Sony. The display Vizio looked decent, and I decided to take a chance. I could not be happier that I did.
The picture looks great. I thought that the refresh rate would be too slow and I'd be annoyed at motion artifacts, but on my test sequences I haven't noticed a thing. In fact, I've moved the Blu Ray player to be attached to this TV instead of my Philips CRT HDTV because the picture is considerably better - the text on the PS3 is finally actually readable.
I have no idea what the heck the "Java" in the name means, but it's not any sort of annoying software running on the TV getting in the way of just watching TV.
If I had one complaint, it's that analog cable looks terrible on this TV. Maybe I just didn't figure out the right settings for it and it would work fine, but in the end it didn't really matter - I needed a second HD set top box from my cable company for $5 a month to get the HD lineup anyway, and through box the SD channels look pretty good. As a bonus, this TV switches between HD and SD very fast, unlike my other HDTV.
Finally, I think this is about as close to an "American" TV as you can actually buy, though it's OEMed in Taiwan. For this price, I don't think you can go wrong. Maybe I would have liked the Sony a bit better, but I'm happier that I saved the $400 and have a TV I really like.

Pick another brand, July 6, 2010
This review is from: Vizio VOJ320F1A 32" 1080p LCD HDTV TV (Electronics)
I have this tv. I bought it Feb 2009 and the tv is now dead July 2010. I am a single person. Turned the tv on and off like anyone else. Didn't use it for games. Just regular normal use. For the price and lenght of life......don't bother. This tv comes with 1 yr warranty. I know we have become a throw away society, but come on. Really? 17 months is all ya get for $400? Do more research. Check Consumer Reports. Read more reviews on Amazon. Don't waste your hard earned money on this tv. By the way, Vizio was uninterested in my disappointment of this product.
