I was looking for a secondary display for use with my HTPC to use at the breakfast table when I do not want to turn on the big plasma and thought it might be interesting because it's LED-backlit (edgelit really) and had Netflix and a few other widgets.
It turns out to be really cool ... good image quality - not as much contrast as a much more expensive, larger TV, of course, but fine for casual TV watching, good colors and viewing angles. The Netflix support works very well, stream HD over wireless without problems, apparently the same quality as my Roku HD box - it is alone worth buying it for.
Some of the Widgets are pretty worthless (I look at you, CBS), they are basically just along the canals, and I have not found the news that more than two lines long. It would be nice if there was a browser or a dedicated NY Times about.
The sound quality is not bad for a TV ... You would get better sound add some cheap computer speakers with a subwoofer, but I can not really blame the TV, it is so thin that it is not really room for decent speakers.
All in all. A nice toy, perfect for a dorm or kitchen
We've only had this TV for a week, but we love this TV. It replaced an old TV in a bedroom, which required a digital converter box. We hooked it up to a rabbit ears antenna, and followed the simple instructions on the screen to connect to our wireless home network. We live in a metropolitan area and with only a rabbit ears, we get a good picture. Apart from that the picture is one thing we especially appreciate the automatic sound set function level control that probably all Vizio TVs come with. It will stop advertising from blasting us. We have not used Web Apps yet, but we would already recommend this TV to anyone for a bedroom or office.
