 Superb TV for a great price December 28, 2009

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.

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.

Our old Sony finally quit on a weekend and we needed a replacement right away. I usually shop things to death but in this case time did not allow that luxury. I had intended to buy a Samsung but decided to take a chance on this unit because of price, availability and advise from a knowledgeable family member. I have not been disappointed in any way with my choice. Set up was quick and easy although the manual could use some work on some of the features. The picture and the sound both off the dish and the antenna is perfect and compares to much more expensive units I have watched. I really like the wide viewing angle and how sharp and viewable the picture is at extreme angles. The remote buttons are a little small and crowded and the remote could use back lit buttons never the less it gives you complete control over the televisions features. As of yet I have not seen a perfect flat screen TV but for the price this one makes a good run at it.

Only had this television for a couple days but... It's AWESOME. Perfect size for a bed, guest, or dorm room. Looks great right out of the box, w/out any tweaking. Blu-Ray looks fantastic. It's super thin and sounds pretty good too. Recommend using HMDI cables. 120hz and 1080P make a real difference. This is a a great set for a great price. If you get one, I hope you enjoy it as much as we have so far.
