I did some research before deciding to buy the T.V., I compared features, resolution, input/output capability, and other things before coming to the conclusion that for the money that I am willing to spend, it's the best value. I am not disappointed that I bought it, I am very happy with the picture quality, features, and so on.., however,it's lacking one simple thing that is standard on all the TVs that I own, a "CLOCK", I could not believe that with all the features it have, it did not have a simple clock! oh well...., Other than that, it's great and will recommend to all.
I have two of these now, and they're well made and American made. They are well-suited for a bedroom, and I bought an optional wall mount bracket from ebay and mounted it on the wall to the side of the bed. Without a digital box, we get a good selection of channels and I carefully stapled the cables to the door trim nearby so the installation looks clean. The TV and remote are fine but there's an annoying difference in sound levels from regular channels to digital (HD) ones on the set. Haven't been able to get around that, but I got a good price on one refurb and a great price on a second one months later. The other one is in my porch room and is a bit small for a big room. I would keep this size to small rooms.
doesn't swivel or tilt, so don't have much choice on where to place, chrome strip around edge not apparent from frontal pics, side inputs also limit where you can place it, brand name "VIZIO" constantly lit - don't need their advertising in my home, came with stuck pixel, which Vizio says is perfectly acceptable, heavier than I would have expected, "piano" black finish looks wavy like plastic; thought I was getting a bigger screen than my current 17" 4.3 one, but turns out the widescreen 19" = 17" standard. Like my 15" COBY much better. Also, don't really save anything buying refurbished - if you pay for seller's warranty. Won't buy anything but SAMSUNG in future without seeing actual product (Samsung pedestal looks similar, but tilts and swivels, plus Samsung has 3-year warranty). However, the unit seems to function OK - I just use it as security monitor because of the placement problems limiting its use as a TV for me. Seller's can't describe every detail, so I made certain basic assumptions, but next time I'll see it in person before buying, even though I might end up getting it online, or at least do more research.Read full review
This TV is so easy to set up; plan on about ten minutes from start to finish... the easy instructions show color picture diagrams! The TV picture is sharp; there are advance settings for flesh color, warmth of tone etc. you name it, there's a setting. It's got a classy look and feel that you'll love. Don't pay any more for another hi-priced machine in this size range (19 1/2")... remember, this is an HD TV! It's got everything you'll ever need except a swivel base and built-in DVD player. I've read complaints about the fact that the TV base is stationary and doesn't flex back and forth for hi-lo viewing. I suspect that having a base that does swivel would add greatly to the price. I, for one, will find the right sized table, at the correct viewing angle. you can't beat the quality for the price. Check around EBAY and look for free shipping. You can find this TV between $142 - $155. Again, you will pay more for this TV. By the way, I bought it refurbished with a two-year square-trade warranty and the TV is indistinguishable from new. It's gorgeous. I'm happy. thanks EBAY for another good deal!Read full review
Other than a bigger screen of course. At 19" I wouldn't recommend this tv for your living room, but it complements my office set up quite nicely. My primary use is as an external monitor for HD video editing. The 1080i looks crisp and clear and amazing, compare that with lots of similar priced lcd models that have blur or grain in the picture. The speakers work great too, I haven't tried turning it up past half, which is plenty of loud. I would recommend this brand over many others, as I have also used a sylvania and an emerson hdtv and neither have as high quality of picture.
