Great TV
I have been interested in buying an HDTV for some time now. I have been doing research for month on what all the specs mean and what I need in a TV. If you are new to HDTV I would recommend visiting CNET's site it has a lot of information that is very useful about TVs.
Now on to this particular TV, I have tried to be honest. The SV370XVT picture is better than I had expected for the price. I was ready to spend a lot more to get a good picture but this TV exceeded all of my expectations for picture quality. I use my laptop right now to up convert normal DVDs, and all that I can say is that the people look real! I have an over the air antenna and some channel look as good as the DVDs. The TV itself has a very nice design, it has a glossy black finish with a thin frame around the screen, and the depth is really nice if you are going to mount it to a wall! The speakers put out good sound, my parents have a surround sound system and TV doesn't sound that good but it is good. The remote is very slim and easy enough to use after you get used to it, it has capability to be a universal remote but I cannot get that to work. The volume and channel buttons light up when you push them (which is nice), but I would like it if all of the buttons did. The TV offers many different aspect or zoom features which I love. The media port on the side is very easy to use and I have had no problem viewing video or picture and listening to music. The 120Hz seems to make the motion very smooth, I have only noticed blur on channel that are not HD. I haven't played with the picture settings yet but CNET offers a good guide on how to do it. The picture in picture feature is nice only if you don't want to use it to see what is on another channel (the only reason I really would), it only allows you to see picture from a different input than the one that you are currently playing. I have had no problems with this TV yet (if I do you'll hear from me) and have been extremely pleased with it. I was extremely skeptical of VIZIO but they have really proved themselves.

PROS: Great Picture quality, ease of setup, 120Hz, design, media port, 3 HDMI inputs.

CONS: PIP doesn't allow for channel surfing, remote doesn't light all the way up.

All in all this is AN EXCELLENT TV!!

we purchased two,,
we have a home theater system in the basement and out of nowhere the wife says what about updating the bedroom to HD and also place a TV above the fireplace, we never use, in the living room,, we have ATT Uverse and after a quick call I found out all four of our boxes are ready for HD and they each have an HDMI plug,,

so off to the computer to start my research,, available space mandated the screen size to be 37",, after going to Ultimate Electronics, Best Buy and Costco (all within 1/2 mile of each other here) comparing everything they had on the floor in the 37" size I selected the Vizio at Costco,, I'm a tad on the geek side when it comes to electronics and after doing my normal adjustments on the TVs I was considering, I felt the Visio XVT was as good as any,, when I went to Costco yesterday to buy the guy helping indicated they had just reduced them $50 for the Thanksgiving weekend so they were $629 each,, he loaded them on the flat bed cart and I also had him put a new Panny Blu Ray DVD on the cart as that was all I was originally going to buy for electronics this year,,

set up was fairly easy and I did not even crack the manual,, most of the menus (very extensive) are easy to understand and you see what the adjustments are doing as the box with the settings on screen to the left leaves about 80% of the screen open to view for adjustment impact,, I set both TVs to be as close to my Sony 65" XBR DLP as possible for my eyes,, interesting after setting each of them up I noted the settings one one and then went and compared to the other,, 9 out of 10 settings were the same,, I will read the manual now as some of the very advanced settings with the color and pixel adjustments need to be understood before touching,,

picture quality on both sets are 95%+ the quality I have in the home theater,, when your spoiled on the sound it is hard to talk about the speaker quality but they are ok for now,, imagine I will do something with the living room as it is a very large area and the speakers need some help there,, bedroom sound is fine,,

the viewing angle is very wide,, even at 45 degrees or more I see no change in color or picture quality,, this works great in the living room as it is not laid out for watching TV,,

I would certainly recommend adding the 37 Slim Style XVT (1080P 120hz double frame rate) to your list for review before writing the check if a 37" is being considered,,

Fantastic HDTV!
The review before mine says it all. This TV is high quality at a great price. I purchased mine from Costco for 699.99 with a 2 year warranty. The picture quality is superb; I was watching a movie via Netflix streaming through my Xbox last night and the 120Hz made such a difference over 1080p 60Hz sets I've had in the past. The panning of the film was so smooth, it was disorienting at first because I wasn't used to it! :) The TV is lightweight, and it only took me 5 minutes to set everything up, including connecting my Xbox to it via HDMI. I can't wait to see how it works with my Macbook Pro - I've got a Mini Display port to HDMI connector....Hulu, here I come!

Pros: Great picture quality, can be used as a computer monitor, 3 HDMI inputs, good sound, remote is sleek looking, volume and channel buttons light up, set up was easy, thin design.
Cons: No volume or channel buttons on display, so if your batteries in the remote die, you're kinda SOL until you get more (read: keep AAA batteries on hand).
