I bought this from Walmart not Amazon but this tv contends with others nearly double the price. I thought they would try to cheap out and give one HDMI port because of the low cost but it has three! Great for connecting cable/sat, dvd player and a gaming console all at once. For those that dont know much about hdtv's HDMI is the best connection from a device to the tv. It has NO quality loss in the process unlike a Component connection. HDMI also carrys audio in the same wire cutting down on sloppy wires in a tangled mess. The picture quality is equal to Sony and other major brands I seen side by side in stores. Only thing negative I can think of is the remote has two UGLY buttons, the volume and channel. But not buying this tv for a tiny cosmetic problem on the remote is crazy. I wouldnt normally give anything five stars but with what Vizio gives you in comparison with the price they get it.

I bought my vp322hdtv10a and like everyone else I was so very happy with it. Then after only 2 years of use, it began clicking on and off, before it would turn on and finally it died, right after 2 years.
I looked up the model number to see if there were complaints and found PLENTY. It seems Vizio used cheap capacitors rated for temperatures of ony 105F. It is quite easy from the heat this unit produces to exceed that temperature. The power supply will go out after 2 years. It is poorly designed as the temperature cannot exceed 105F and you can not buy 10 volt capacitors that do exceed 105F you must buy 12 volt. By effecting a rapair, you will have a dead TV again in 2 years, by trying to correct their engineering error you run the risk of burning out other parts due to the increase in voltage. Vizio pretends to not be aware of this problem even though it is all over the Internet, and will blame your outlet and will not stand behind this product. If you have one, I'm sorry, and if you are considering buying one factor in $125 each year for a new power supply board which will need replaced. You will probably be better off going with another TV made by somone who will stand behind their product and correct their mistakes.

Like the other reviewer I got this from W**-Mart due to the price. The picture is fantastic, way better than the TV it replaces (a ViewSonic). It picks up HBO and Flix on unencrypted channels which switch numbers sometimes (Comcast changes which unencrypted channels go where periodically, I notice). The TV has numerous input types; I believe every type is covered. I have this TV connected to a Panasonic DVD-R/VCR and DVD playback is also superb.

I don't mind the remote because I often watch in the dark and the channel and volume buttons are easy to find by feel. Also, I read that plasma is supposed to use more energy than LCD, but my first HDTV was LCD and this one seems to use about the same energy, meaning my electric bill did not go up at all. If I did have a complaint it would be how limited the sleep timer is (only up to 90 minutes; my old TV went up to 2 hours and had smaller increments) and the lack of a clock you can call up by clicking an "Info" button. But if I never had those features, I would probably never miss them. I paid a little over five-hundred for mine, but the price has dropped since then.
