Customer Reviews

Superb TV for a great price5
We recently purchased this television from a different store but were impressed as soon as we turned it on. We had received a 24" Vizio LCD for Christmas, but its quality was severely lacking - the picture went dark very quickly if you viewed the screen off-center, even about 10-20 degrees off axis - to the point that having the television on top of a chest of drawers caused it to be too high to watch TV with any decent quality. We returned that one and bought the SV320XVT and were blown away by comparison.

Pros: The 1080p quality at 120Hz makes digital television channels look great. Device buttons are easily accessible for changing inputs instead of pressing a single "Source" or "Input" button multiple times to get to the input you want. There are three HDMI inputs, which is great for a cable/satellite tuner, Blu-Ray player, and another source (we use it for the Canon 7D's video output). The viewing angle is excellent, especially for an LCD. We were able to get a consistent view at about 120-140 degrees off-axis. Different video modes are available for different types of viewing (Basketball, Golf, Baseball, Movies, Normal, etc.). Sound quality out-of-the-box is excellent, though a surround sound system could be hooked up with either RCA, HDMI, or TOSlink.

Cons: 120Hz can still make some live-acted shows and movies look computer animated, but that happens with any TV that has this feature. This TV does not have a 10/100 network port, which I've only seen on a few televisions at this point, but it would be nice to have it for web streaming. There is an RGB input, however, so we can still hook it up to a computer. I'd also like if the TV had an alarm clock on it, but that's a very minor issue. Also, having a jog dial on the bottom right side of the panel makes for an awkward way of controlling power, volume, and channel control; I'd rather have actual buttons for each. It took trial and error to figure out that adjusting the volume from the side did not require me to push the button inward to confirm the change, as that just turned off the TV.

Good Solid TV4
"We were looking for a Bedroom TV that didn't dominate the whole space so we were excited to see the "slim-ness" of the unit and the small bezel around the LCD. The unit is nice and light so it can be easily transferred and wall mounted.

The picture quality is great, it's quality exceeds our three year old Phillips LCD and equals the PQ of our two month old 52" Sony Bravia. HD signals from BLU-RAY and TiVo HD (w/ HD CableCARD) look wonderful with rich colors and sharp picture. The Smooth Motion (120Hz) does create the "Soap Opera Effect", but it can be turned off in the setup men. There are plenty of video tweaks in the menus just like the other Major Brands.

The sound quality was really good. Obviously nothing that gets you to 5.1 home theater level but has plenty of options for audio mode adjustments.
The build quality is wonderful, solid, slim, design, down to the box it came in. The remote is good, looks pretty, the channel up/down Volume up/down button light up, which is a nice touch. The inputs in the back are configured well, with nice color separation for visual cues.

The only issues that prevented the TV from getting a Solid 5 is the Menu system and remote's button layout.

The setup menu was difficult to navigate, with some important settings buried deep in submenus upon submenus.

The input menu does not give the option to "skip" or "not display" inputs that aren't in use. This is an issue when you only have two devices connected to the TV but you have click through 8 inputs to get to the device you want.

This is a solid TV and our first VIZIO product. Would recommend it to anyone."

Awesome t.v.5
I havent really made a review before but i thought i would being i could not find any reviews on this t.v. before buying it. This is my fourth lcd t.v. Other brands i own are philips 42 inch 1080p, mavnavox 32 inch 1080i and a samsung 24 inch 1080p. I bought this t.v. to replace my 24 inch samsung i was using as a gaming/computer work bench monitor and i have to say i am not sorry for making the purchase. It exceeds the picture quality of my samsung 1080p. I upgraded my video card in my pc to include an hdmi output in which transfers both video and sound to the t.v. so i therefore eliminate the audio cable if i were for use the rgb pc input. The t.v. has a rca audio out for easy connection to a stereo system or simply buy a rca to 3.5 heaphone jack to connect to pc speakers in which is my setup. The graphics through my xbox 360 is awesome in game mode. Video from my pc is pretty good i am still messing with the settings which may be my video card or the t.v.'s setting. Vizio has definitely won me over with this one.
