Customer Reviews:
solid pictureNovember 21, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The HD picture on this set is very good (and I have only seen 1080i and 720p so far). Do not be fooled by the price. The SD DVD progressive scan picture (480p) is also quite good. Regular SD (480i) is pretty ho-hum. In fact, if you have a sizable tube and are not planning on upgrading to HD service (although major networks are free with an antenna and look great), you might as well hold off. This is the case for any HD LCD. They are designed for HD and all of them just look so-so with standard definition.
The sound is also solid, very impressive for a flat panel. It also has ample inputs, although the ones on the underside are a pain to hook stuff up to (prepare to be cranking your head sideways to see just where the HDMI plugs in).
The remote is the weakest point of the set. It has a layout that in not intuitive. I still keep looking for the 'menu' button to play with the picture and features forgetting that you have to press the orange 'V' in the middle.
All around though, the set is a good value. If Sony or Samsung are not in your budget, you will not be disappointed by this Vizio. One more thing; I think the 120hz feature is a fad, at least for films. I haven't seen it for video games, but for movies it just doesn't look right. Some blur is natural. So, don't be lured away by that as it is a feature I would rarely have used anyway.
Better than than the VU - Tuner TipsAugust 31, 2008 15 out of 15 found this review helpful
This is a better than average set. The feature set is excellent 4xHDMI etc. Compared to the VU42 (which we had also), this has a nicer picture and much more control through the menus for Picture and Sound tweaking.
The HDMI worked perfectly with our laptops and good screen controls allows you to adjust margins to use the full screen.
I've had many HD sets over the years, for the money this is a good deal.
Tuner Tip: In our area, Cable doesn't scramble many digital channels, but many are just sound, duplicates or unwanted. This set seems to have a cap of 500+ channels, because while we could tune in more channels, The Channel skip did not show them. But this set has "Partial channel search", which allowed us to manually seek ranges of channels and customize the channels the way we wanted. The VU did not have this and forced us to flip through 50 or so "bad" channels with no way to remove them.

Sony DAV-IS10 Home Theater System $399.97 - $558.99 from 5 stores. User rating:0.0 out of 5.
The 5.1 channel home-theater-in-a-box system features five tiny speakers - each about the size of a golf ball. The system, matched with a compact, single disc DVD/CD player/receiver, includes a unique subwoofer that helps the tiny speakers create sounds typically reserved for full size speakers.
While the system features small speakers, it packs all the power of conventional home theater-in-a-box systems with 450 watts of total system power (satellite speakers 50W x 5, plus 2-way subwoofer 100W x 2). The system is specially tuned to deliver a natural sound field that takes the focus off the subwoofer while supplementing mid range and lower frequencies.
