Best Picture Sound not as much,
Wow, LED LCD provides a fantastic picture. This set replaced a 26″ Vizio that I thought had a great picture. The LED picture is much better and brighter. One thing that is not readily apparent is the power supply.
Most televisions have a transformer on the inside that converts 115v or 220v to 12v, this TV uses an external 12v converter/power supply and the 12 v plugs into the back of the set. This might make it easier to install in an RV or other camping/water option. The power supply is about the same size as a Laptop Power Supply.
Sound is a bit of a problem. It is somewhere between as good to superior to many other televisions, but it is NOT real surround and does not have a sub woofer, so…
Set up: Opened the box, laud TV on bed, took down old TV, swapped out the mount, and had the new set operating within 20 min. Setup was also easy and fast. Weight does not seem that big a deal at first, but this set’s weight is slightly LESS than the 26″ we replaced, another plus for mobile mounting.
If you are wall mounting, be careful to follow the steps to remove the stand neck. Instructions say, “Remove the four (4) screws holding the stand neck, and then remove the neck and base.” Well, only two screws are readily visible. The step BEFORE this reads, “Remove the cover on the stand neck,” which exposes the other two screws. Removing this cover can be tricky so look first and then proceed with caution.
We use this TV as our second set and it is in the master bedroom. I am so impressed that I may replace the main TV before too much longer with the big brother of this set.
Overall this TV is well worth the price I paid and Amazon had the best price of any place I checked. I usually spend an inordinate time pricing things prior to purchase and Amazon was well below everyone this time.

|Awesome picture, very poor sound. The worst, Jerry.,
We purchased this TV from a large box store to replace the kids’s movie/game tube TV.
I’ve heard Vizio is the “quality” budget tv maker. And it seems true based on a friend who purchased a Vizio as well as from what I’ve read online.
I was pleased to have access to LED technology at such a great price. But what I discovered was that the reason Vizio can offer this tv at such a great price is because they have used the very poorest sound technology that they could get away with and not have to call this a computer monitor (which usually ships with no speakers).
My iPhone/iPod has better sound quality than this tv. My alarm clock speakers are better than the speakers in this tv. The voices in my crazy neighbor’s head come in better quality than the sounds coming from this tv. And there’s a reason.
Vizio is now also in the soundbar business. They are selling external home theater options, which they obviously mean to sell along with this tv. And that’s OK. Some people who purchase this tv will have something already to run the sound through or they may not be bothered by the horrible sound.
So the smart shopper thing to do would be to look at other TVs that cost about a hundred bucks more and have ok picture and sound. You will not touch the picture quality of this TV for a hundred bucks more. But you might get a TV that’s got ok picture and much better sound for a hundred bucks more (soundbars start at about a hundred bucks. There’s one here for sale at 89).
So be informed: if you purchase this TV, you are purchasing a monitor with the least quality of sound possible. It’s bring your own quality sound. Otherwise you deal with something that looks great but sounds like a transistor radio from the 1920s.

|Vizio SRS – I have absolutely NO sound problems,
I have this TV and enjoy the sound and picture quality. I’m a soundaholic. If you’ve never had a stereo or srs/home theater sound… it DOES take some time to adjust. The sound can be *VERY INTENSE*.
I suggest you adjust the sound; turn the TruSurround HD sound *TO OFF*, but do leave the TruVolumn *ON* (you can enter the graphic equalizer presets) use these to set the quality sound you enjoy most. When you do this it’s of course ‘best’ to be playing music, music dvd IS BEST.
If you SET the preset equalizer setting to *FLAT OR OFF*… you will be able to enter and customize the settings on your (*bass & treble*) levels.
Don’t hesitate to play around with the sound settings, one click will return it to the factory settings.
You will require a lower volumn level, significantly lower… the audio quality IS dynamic and intense for this TV.

|Sound is great! Check the SRS TruVolume settings!,
I think that the Vizio folks should have made the default to OFF on the SRS TruVolume. If they had I think several of the owners would not be experiencing the issues with the sound. I set mine up, read the reviews, turned OFF the SRS TruVolume feature and now the sound is fine.
I’m not sure how high the volume will go. I’ve got mine on “2″ and it is plenty loud and very clear.
I purchased this to use with my new Xbox 360 with Kinect. I’m replacing a 19″ Sanyo that was purchased in 1989 by my older brother. So, maybe my expectations are not very high…for $299 I’m pleased and it is a tremendous step up from what I had.
