3 Stars No Service
Do not count on any type of response if you have a question or a problem. The 866# only refers the caller to a long distance number via automated responder. When called you are put on hold for the “next” available service tech (I think there is only one and they wish you would go away). When they do answer, the person does not know anything. He will take your info. and tell you a “trained” technician will call you back soon. No one ever calls. Even after following up from my end with an email and another call. No response.
3 Stars Nice TV for a good price
I bought this with a gift certificate from work. Its a decent TV for the price. The picture quality is ok, although colors are not quite as bright as I am used to. From reading other reviews it may improve when I upgrade to an HD satellite receiver or just an HD antenna which I haven’t got yet. Nice looking, super light and very easy setup. Biggest drawback is that there are no Viore codes for the Dish Network remote I have.
5 Stars 26″ VIORE 1080 HDTV
Product came boxed beautifully. Was easy to set-up and connect. Picture is great as is the sound for a TV this size. Very pleased with product and price!!! VIORE is a great HDTV.
4 Stars Tiny display characters
Great Tv for the price.
I have one gripe.Reading display characters are so tiny you have to be right up to the screen to be able to read them.I don,t like to get up once seated to read the text.
5 Stars Just right for a lady my age
I live in a mountain range where we depend on towers and relays to get our programs from over 250 miles away. I was hoping to avoid having to get a dish or DirecTV, but ended up needing that anyway if I wanted more than 2 channels. Even the amplified anntenea didn’t help.
The size is perfect for me, and it’s light enough for me to move around and clean behind, under, or put in an alternate spot in the house.
My biggest disappointment is that the remote control code, so that I would just need to use the DirecTV one, didn’t work.

4 Stars Great for small spaces
I picked this up for my mother. She doesn’t have a lot of space, but she needed something a little bigger then her old 15″ LCD. The best thing about this LCD is that it is simple and easy to use. The buttons on the remote are well laid out and are logical. If you are just looking for a simple LCD, then this is it. If you care about audio quality, you need to hook it up to a separate receiver. So simplicity is the key work here.

Great everything and a good buy for a LCD use in every day at supper time.

5 Stars I love this TV
I decided that it was finally time to do something about the 15-year old 19″ CRT I’ve been using in the bedroom, and I spent weeks looking at every 32″ LCD TV sold in the area (many trips to Best Buy, Sears, Target, Walmart, anywhere that carried TVs). I thought I had convinced myself that the Sony XBR6 or XBR9 was the right choice. However, last week Target had these on sale for $519, and I had another 10% off anything, so the final price was about $470 – 400 less than the Sony. The display Vizio looked decent, and I decided to take a chance. I could not be happier that I did.
The picture looks great. I thought that the refresh rate would be too slow and I’d be annoyed at motion artifacts, but on my test sequences I haven’t noticed a thing. In fact, I’ve moved the Blu Ray player to be attached to this TV instead of my Philips CRT HDTV because the picture is considerably better – the text on the PS3 is finally actually readable.
I have no idea what the heck the “Java” in the name means, but it’s not any sort of annoying software running on the TV getting in the way of just watching TV.
If I had one complaint, it’s that analog cable looks terrible on this TV. Maybe I just didn’t figure out the right settings for it and it would work fine, but in the end it didn’t really matter – I needed a second HD set top box from my cable company for $5 a month to get the HD lineup anyway, and through box the SD channels look pretty good. As a bonus, this TV switches between HD and SD very fast, unlike my other HDTV.
Finally, I think this is about as close to an “American” TV as you can actually buy, though it’s OEMed in Taiwan. For this price, I don’t think you can go wrong. Maybe I would have liked the Sony a bit better, but I’m happier that I saved the $400 and have a TV I really like.
4 Stars Chose this for a Computer Monitor
I needed a new external monitor for doing CAD work, and based on the dimensions of my office I decided a 32″ 1080P LCD display would be optimal. I spent about 3 weeks reading on-line reviews, tech specs, and going to brick & mortar places to actually see some of the sets. Let me say right now that in Vegas at least, most of the stores I saw spent zero time trying to make their TV displays appealing or to get a good picture. Many didn’t have the remote either. I found the store visits to be most unhelpful. stores I visted were [...], [...], RC Willey (a furniture store!!!) and Frys.
hands down, the samsung 7 series absolutely blows my mind with the picture quality. They are very expensive though, so I kept looking. I’d never heard of Vizio before this search, but I come to find that they are assembled in the good ol’ USA, got universally good reviews, have decent tech support, and sounded like I’d get a good deal.
another important thing for me was warranty. sometimes a good deal pricewise isn’t such a good deal if a lot of people have had problems with it. At first I was torn between a large LCD monitor and a 1080P tv; however I was shocked to find that there was only a very few monitors larger than 24″, and of those most were in the [...]+ range, with the Apple 30″ Cinema display a whopping $[...] bucks (about what I paid for my current MacBook Pro). UG!
there is a Hanspree 28″ monitor that has more than 1200 reviews here on Amazon. great price, until I started looking into warranty. EEEK! let’s see: I can return it if there are 8 or more dead / stuck pixels……….
I can’t imagine how furious I’d be if I had a nice new monitor and had to live with as many as 7 bright dots (or blank spaces). This monitor was [...] bucks, reasonable in my opinion. the next least expensive monitor of similar size was [...] bucks. I balked.
the very lowest price 1080p tv’s were no-name brands I’d never heard of in big box stores. the only warranty was the store 90 day warranty and after that I’d be on my own dealing with a company no one’s ever heard of before. No Thanks.
I’d just about steeled myself to pay 550 to 650 for my display, when Dell came up with this VOJ320F (one of the contenders) for [...]. I called their customer service dept to ask about return policy and etc; it bothered me that none of the questions I was asking were answered on their website, but the verbal answers I did receive were exactly what I was hoping to hear. The customer service person told me that if I ordered the tv verbally over the phone it would get here more quickly because she could circumvent some of the on-line verification procedures. so great! I did the deal. That was Aug 15. Delivery date was projected to be Sept 2. ug.
for the next 2 weeks I checked their on-line service several times a day. no progress! I was getting worried that the set was going to be back-ordered and that it would take much longer. finally on Aug 27th I get the email. guess what? it shipped from Cali and only took one day to get here. but it’s nerve-wracking to deal with the dell delayed-gratification system. One great thing about dell: for [...] they extended the factory warranty. heck, the vizio website offered one year at [...] bucks. also by purchasing the 1 year extension, Dell picks up all warranty dealings, so I don’t have to deal with Vizio to get any warranty work done – just dell.
setup was very simple, I currently have the backlight and brightness turned all the way off, and the contrast at about 60%. My macbook pro has a DVI output, so a DVI to HDMI cable worked perfectly. it took about 1 second for the TV to recognize and automatically pick up the MBP. I am really happy with the results – I haven’t been able to mount it to the wall yet, so it’s still sitting on my desk, approx 3′ from my face. as a monitor, it is very good and I’m very pleased. as a TV it’s ok, but I’m not going to watch that much. SD channels at 3′ are not impressive (a good reason not to watch, right?). The remote is minimal, and I miss my larger tv’s capability of stretching/zooming/normal modes to deal with different channel’s formatting.
to sum up my long-winded post, I’m happy with the quality and the deal I got from Dell. for less than most large computer monitors, I got a great external that’s also a TV. Sweet!

5 Stars Vizio Ranked Above a Sony Bravia by Consumer Reports, I agree
Got this TV to replace my old 35″ Sony 2 Tuner (analog) PIP set that was 11 years old that died last weekend with a ‘pop’. High Voltage transformer blw & TV shop said it wasn’t worth repairing since I had analog tuners in it. Plus it was a beast sized TV, all 200 lbs of it. I had researched TV’s online and pretty much convinced myself that getting a SONY 32XBR9 or getting a Sony Bravia L series 32″ would be my best move. Until I wondered into a [...] store in the mall. I had seen the display at Best Buy but those TV’s are all mounted on the wall. However the [...] display had them all lined up so you could touch them & operate the Volume controls at viewing level.
One thing I found out was, the Vizio picture was equal to ANYONE’s picture. Despite what Sony had in the past, this TV is equally as capable with a High Definition signal or a Standard Definition signal (like from DBS satellite)I must admit I am normally biased to Sony, but Sony doesn’t have a thing on this TV except Sony does make a better remote. Thats the only complaint I have about the TV … the remote is bland, not lit and very lightweight. But since I do have SD Directv Satellite. I have already purchased a lighted remote for the Satellite & my Satellite Remote will work this Vizio, so I am good to go.
The Vizio ran me 499 but it is ONSale for [...] members right now until 9/30/09 in the store <50> off. The projected cost for the Sony Bravia of the same specs is 649. and the cost of a Sony XBR9 32″ was to be 999 at Best Buy. I bought the Vizio after checking the ON screen menu which is in a very readable orange color; the volume levels of the TV were checked too (the Vizio is louder then the Sharp 32″ or a Panasonic 32″ , volume seems the same as the Sony models) I must say that the thing that impressed me somewhat and made me take a second look at the Vizio is that Consumer Reports October 2009 issue had a LAB TEST where they rated the Vizio 32″ the best . Seeing is believing!! I must agree the rear hookups connection capabilities, Vizio even has a jack for headphones, the Sony models do not. But the Sony models all have significantly higher prices… Sony.. you cant rest on your past laurels; you got to show me where its worth the extra money… times are tight.
Regarding Motionflow technology… That’s something you can’t see unless you have a TV screen that is 40″ or above.. so it wasn’t a factor for a 32″ TV. Vizio doesn’t mention whether it is 60Hz or what speed it is. But I couldn’t notice any blurring in its picture even when viewing a tennis match.
Got to agree with Consumer Reports, this is the best Value for the money.
4 Stars GREAT viewing, but device/channel changing problems
I love everything about this model, except for device control. I’ve connected it to my cable and Blue-Ray player with HDMI cables. When I watch them I must switch to HDMI1 and HDMI2 respectively. Often, very often, after I turn the TV on I have to switch off HDMI1 and back 2+ times before I can view the TV. This doesn’t happen with the Blue-Ray… When I can’t view the TV I get the message, “Unrecognized format.” Frequently I loose the “connection” between the TV and cable box when changing channels. In those cases I need to switch away from HDMI1 and back 1+ times. The cause of this may be something that I am or am not doing, but haven’t figured it out.
Great viewing–great sound–great looks… Sorry to say that I may return it because of the channel hassles.

5 Stars Great TV
Another excellent, high quality Sony Bravia. Everything it claims to do it does and does even does it better. This makes a perfect bedroom TV. Installation was simple, although except for the power cord, there was no cabling included. Make sure you connect any antenna you have before you turn it on for the first time. What more can you say, it’s a Sony Bravia.
4 Stars Sony 22″ LCD HDTV
Very nice TV; just wish I didn’t have to buy it online, but it apparently is not available for purchase at a store.
5 Stars Great Product
Sleek design, and the picture quality is excellent although you may have to fine tune the color to suit your preferences. Easy to install with one caveat – I didn’t have the antenna ready when I began the automatic installation, and there was no way to return to the beginning, so I was stuck and had to get some help to continue. The operational manual didn’t cover this, either. My advice is to have everything ready before you hit the ‘on’ switch to set up the first time. That’s my only gripe – other than that, the picture and sound quality are excellent for the size and there are loads of options available for watching. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.
5 Stars excellent product
terrific picture quality — easy to install — initial setup is fully automated although it picks up a gazzillion channels including two for each of those channels having HD [so a next step requires deleting bunches of channels picked up during the initialization ]
has all the features that anyone but a total geek would want — the adjustments and selections are simple to incorporate
all in all — a well engineered product

5 Stars Great TV, Great features
I’m not geek, but I know a good TV when I see it. Picture quality is much better than my old HDTV, and brighter too. Love the sound features. Easy hookup. I now have 3 LG tvs in my home (42, 32, and 20) so I guess I’m now a loyal LG customer.
5 Stars LG 42LH40 is everything I hoped for…
I’ve had this tv for about 4 months now and it is everything I wanted in an HDTV. The picture is crystal clear out of the box and even though you are suppose to calibrate these tvs, I haven’t had a need to do so. I wanted at least a 42 inch HDTV, LCD (to avoid plasma glare), 120 HZ to avoid motion blur, and under $1300. I looked at a few Samsungs and Sonys but both brands go from 40 inches to 46. I also considered a 46 inch Sharp but wasn’t impressed with the video quality. So the LG 42LH40 is what I bought.
The screen is bright and beatiful and sports in high-def look amazing. The menus are clear and intuitive which makes changing settings a breeze. The remote isn’t anything fancy but I do like the large input button that allows you to quickly switch between devices by displaying large icons that represents your inputs with the active inputs in color. The tv has a on off indicator on the lower right hand side that glows blue when off and red when on. This light also does a little Knight Rider type animation when the tv has been turned on and is warming up. Blue-Ray movies give you the best picture, then high-def tv, then upconverted dvds, then standard-def tv. Standard-def looks pretty crummy but that is to be expected on any large HDTV. Sound is also pretty darn good to be coming from built speakers.
Overall
Pros – Picture, menus, # of inputs, sound, style
Cons – Remote isn’t backlit
5 Stars Great value, excellent LCD for bright rooms
Very happy with this TV after three weeks of use. Wanted a decently priced LCD for my family room which gets a good amount of sunlight (even with blinds closed). LG 42LH40 didn’t disappoint! We primarily use the set for television (AT&T Uverse) and Xbox 360 games/Netflix. HD sports are outstanding and Xbox games are razor sharp. I’ve seen virtually no motion blur from either input.
Setup was simple, plug in the HDMI cables and go. Training the Uverse remote to control the set was painless. Colors were outstanding out of the box in “Natural” mode and the automatic tuning wizard was very easy to follow.
Only small negative so far is mediocre black level. It’s noticeable at night when watching a movie, but I’ve never been distracted by it. Several “professional” reviews knock this set for black levels but I honestly don’t see the big deal. If you want deep blacks, buy a plasma.
Definitely recommend this set to anyone looking for a great value in the 40″ LCD range. Amazon ordering and shipping were great. Shipping company called to confirm my selected appointment and showed up on time.
5 Stars The Dream Machine
Well,after my youngest daughter bought her 6th HDTV and USES all 6 of them, I figured it was time Dad bought his first. I own a computer store so I researched very completely the different brands out, there which all claim to be the best.Forget the hype, this LG 42″ seemed to make the best sense to me for the features it offered for the price. It arrived a day early which pleased me and set-up was even easier than imagined. The sound is as the old hippies said is FAR OUT DUDE!! The picture is PERFECT! NO doubt in my mind that research paid off big time. At 36 pounds, a kid could install this Flat Panel. The only draw back is that 12 hrs later it was $60 less. But had I known how much I would love it, I’d have bought it even sooner. My 4+YR old RCA is now in the bedroom. It too,has a great picture for a 27″ Big Box TV with very good speakers. Sorry ’bout your luck old faithful, but the LG is my new love! Buy it and love it, it don’t get any better than this. D. Diel New Mexico
