Excellent TV,
Purchase Experience: fine, smooth and painless as always.
Product Comments:
Size: fantastic – super thin, and light, which enables keeping shoved toward the back of its surface to keep the kids’ fingers away from the screen.
Picture: Excellent, very crisp (using HDMI cable). Easy enough to modify settings to get the right picture for your lighting conditions. My set is in a naturally-lit room and I have had no problem with the picture or colors as a result of the bright sunlight.
Sound: fine. If you just want to watch TV/movies, the built-in speakers are fine. They won’t make you go ga-ga, but if that’s what you want, you’ll already have (or soon hereafter acquire) a speaker system.
Heat: Here’s a really trick of the LED backlighting – it produces surprisingly little heat compared to a more traditional LCD. Most LCDs generate a fair amount of heat, but the LED LCD doesn’t generate nearly as much.
Dust: For whatever reason, the bevel seems to attract more dust than other LCDs in the house (TV and computer screens). Dust doesn’t collect so much on the screen as around it – odd, but easily dealt with and doesn’t affect the picture.
Bottom Line: Great TV, especially for the price.

|Average Tv with less than average sound,
This Tv is a mixed bag of good and bad. First the good. It has a nice picture. The picture has LED lighting and 1080p quality, which gives it a clear picture. It has has SRS TruSurround HD and SRS TruVolume, which would make external speakers sound great. The design is simple and clean. It doesn’t get hot, like other TVs I own. The remote it small and comfortable in your hands and it has dvd buttons for compatible players.
Now the bad. The sound is absolutely terrible. The Tv can get loud without distortion, but the speakers are on the back of the unit and the quality is bad to begin with. Furthermore, it would not be a good idea to mount this TV to the wall unless you plan to buy external speakers. Problem two, getting external speakers. Vizio’s current sound bar is 39 inches long, as are most sound bars. So if you mount this 26″ Tv with the the 39″ sound bar, it looks disproportionately awkward. And if you invest in a home theater system, it is unlikely your going to buy a 26 inch TV. Third, when you turn the Tv on and change channels, the screen turns blue for 1.5 seconds. This is normal for this TV. I don’t know why, but this blue screen irritates me for some reason. Finally, although the remote is comfortable to handle, it seems really cheap.
My final thoughts, if you need a tv for kids or teenager 14 years or younger, this is a reasonable choice for the price. The picture will be great with a gaming system. For older teenagers and adults, I have to say to pass on it. Look at another 26 inch TV or invest another 50 dollars and get a nicer TV with decent sound.
Update:
After watching several movies and baseball games on this TV, I decided that I needed to get a sound bar because the sound quality is so bad. Vizio offers two soundbars, the VSB200 and the VSB205. I picked up the VSB205 because Vizio lists it as compatible and was the smaller of the two at 32 inches. I get it home and quickly figure out that it is not compatible. This Tv uses an optical audio out for Tv viewing. Both the sound bars offered by Vizio do no have an opitical audio input. When I called customer service, the gentlemen was surpirsed that these sound bars did not have optical audio inputs becuase most of Vizio’s newer TVs offer an optical audio out, which has superior sound quality. He also admitted that it was an error that the sound bar was listed as being compatible. They still have not fixed this error on their website. If you decide to get external speakers, it will likely be a more expensive set up, which doesn’t make sense for a 26 inch Tv. I returned both the TV and sound bar.

|About as expected,
I got pretty much what I expected with this tv. I was just getting something to put in the bedroom to replace our old hunk o’ junk tube tv. The sound is horrible, but the picture is pretty good. The one other thing that sucks is if there’s a way to adjust the angle of the tv on the included stand, I can’t find it. It sorta leans back, so if you have it on a surface that is taller, the screen darkens because of the angle. It kinda makes for watching as you’re laying in bed a bit of a strain. Outside of those things, it seems to be a decent little tv. Especially for the price.

|First Week – TV Kept Turning Off & Vizio’s Rude Support,
First off…I don’t hate the actual TV. I did a lot of research before I purchased this TV and I still believe it is worth the price for the way it performs. I purchased it less than a week ago but then it began to turn off on its own…
There seems to be some sort of glitch with Vizio’s software updates that causes so many of their TVs to turn off on their own that a support supervisor for the company called the problem “normal.” Now I understand that things go wrong and need to be updated, but even though this seemed to be a pervasive problem with their product line they could give me no timeline for when it will be remedied, and seemed to think I was demanding for wanting one.
When I stated to the support person I was talking with that the whole situation seemed strange and very not “normal,” I was told “Sorry” and then disconnected.
So basically…
Maybe the TV is worth the price, but with the way their support staff treated my issue I’m not even sure what they told me is wrong with my TV is legitimate. When you’re paying a thousand-plus dollars for something you want to know there’s help waiting if anything goes wrong with it…unfortunately, that’s not what you get with Vizio.
If you don’t mind putting up with lousy support, this TV definitely has a pretty picture!

|Stellar HDTV for watching live sports!!!,
I have had zero problems with this gem. I see bad reviews for this set turning off or something similar. No such problems here. The picture quality is so good, it is SCARY real!!! It was very easy to hook up to Direct TV and the TV remote cloned the satellite remote in a snap. The sound is very good for a flat screen tv. Watching HD sports on this is just stunning and awesome. The 240 HZ refresh rate is just BADASS for hockey! All in all I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a big tv with a perfect, clear, bright picture.

|Outstanding TV. Outstanding service,
I’ve had my Vizio for close to three months. It is fantastic. This thing weighs less than half what my old Sony did. The picture is great and I love the apps. I’m on Facebook almost every day now, looking for new pictures of my Grandaughter. We spent months looking and pricing TV’s and finally settled on this one. This was close to the least expensive one I found but don’t let that scare you, It’s awsome! What set-up? This thing pretty much sets itself up. It found my WYFI connection before I was able to do the set-up. I saw a lot of complaints about the speakers. I must tell you, I don’t know. I hooked my surround sound system to it and I don’t think I ever heard the built-in speakers. Beleave me, watch this TV and you will want great sound to go with it. The built in speakers are not a deal breaker, you won’t use them either. As usual with Amazon, the unit came sooner than expected. The delivery person even brought into the house for my wife since I wasn’t there. It arrived in perfect condition. The rest is history. My thanks to Vizio for a great product and to Amazon.Com for a great buying experience.
