Experience the lifelike realism of high definition video on this advanced 720p HDTV. The tuner can receive conventional analog channels (NTSC) and the new digital channels (ATSC), including over-the-air HDTV broadcasts (where available) and unscrambled digital cable channels. An exceptional contrast ratio and fast 8-ms. response time deliver excellent picture quality. An HDMI port and a variety of other inputs make it simple to connect DVD players, digital cameras, camcorders, game consoles and even your computer. Note: You must have a source of HD programming in order to take full advantage of an HDTV. Otherwise, the picture quality of an HDTV without an HD source may not be much better than that of a standard-definition TV. Please contact your local cable or satellite TV provider for details on how to upgrade to HD programming.

It is a very good LCDHD TV, and the value is less than a sony or silmilar brand. I like my TV but does not have the PIP function. the picture quality is great in HD channels and the image improve a lot for the video options in Standard Definition channels. You Must buy one if you are interested in 26´´ and you cannot afford to buy a bravia...!
*I don´t know how to set up the time because i live outside the U.S help me if you know how..

Worked exactly as I had hoped right out of the box. The picture was fine and although I was a little worried about the volume being enough from the speakers, this TV in our kitchen turned out to be perfect. I am going to buy another larger VIZIO for our bedroom for Christmas. This is not a big deal, but the only thing not excellent about this TV is that there is a slight delay when you turn it on and it is not immediatly apparant that it is on until the picture comes up after a few seconds. As I said, this isn't a big deal and it won't affect my decesion to buy another one next month. Hope this helps!

Bought this TV just about a year ago and have been very happy with it. We like the picture quality and the timer. The Remote is easy enough to understand and use. Now, a year later this same model is almost $100 cheaper, That makes it an even better deal. We now need another set and are strongly considering another just like this one. There are two things that I think are kind of less than 100%; the first is the delay when changing channels and the other is that the sound quality isn't bad but certainly not fantastic.

I have owned this TV for about 6 months and it is great. For the first 5 months I used it on my boat and used an antenna. I received 3 times as many channels as the old set, all of which come in crystal clear. I took the TV home for the winter to use as a bedroom set and somewhere between point A and point B I lost the remote. Went to the Curtis Mathis site to find a replacement...no luck. I then sent an Email to customer service inquiring about buying a new remote. The following day I received a reply stating that I should send my address so that they could send a new remote. Did that and three days later a new remote showed up, NO CHARGE! Thats what I call service.

My old 100 lb sony finally gave up the ghost and died. I was shopping for the lowest priced 26" LCD Hi-Def Television and almost went with the Sanyo until I spotted this great Vizio at my local Wal-Mart (paid $407.00 + tax) I am really pleased with all aspects of this new television. Right now I have it hooked up through my old DirecTV box and it looks so sharp that I may delay buying a HDMI cable and getting a HDTV Ready Box from DirecTV - the picture is that sharp.
Really pleased with the ease of setup, just plugged it in and connected the old coaxial cable and whammo, ready to go!

I think that this product is the best buy for the money. Also its an AMERICAN made product. Again the down side to the TV is that the screen does not tilt, but look at any other brand and their the same. If your in the market for a new TV for your bedroom or want to spend the money and get a larger one.....THIS THE TV FOR YOU!

The Picture on this TV is good. I have not yet hooked it up to HD programming from the cable company, so I cannot really attest to it's quality or features. I have not played any DVDs yet, so I cannot evaluate that feature.
I have other (smaller) widescreen TVs, and the feature that I liked about them is the ability to zoom the display to watch standard broadcast in the widescreen mode and thus losing the black bars. This TV's zoom feature has not yet worked for normal broadcast. It does have 2 widescreen features, but it distorts the picture and on widescreen broadcast you still have the bars at the bottom and top. It may be different with HD programming, or when playing a DVD, as I said those have not been tested by me, yet.

I looked at alot of tv's but this one really caught my eye. Nice size for a room, great sound, good quality, awesome price. I would definitely recommend this product. Don't forget to pick up the HDMI wire for crisp HD picture quality.Without the wire some channels tend to look a little blurry.

I needed a TV for my home office, I was going to get a Sanyo, but after reading all the review for this TV and Sanyo I decided to go with Vizio. I am very glad I did, it was so easy to set up and has a great picture. So far I have not found anything that I dont like about this TV. This TV even looks good when it is off. I thought it was a great TV for the price I paid, but the price has lowered since I bought mine so that makes it even a better buy now.

This TV looks incredible in Blu Ray and with Playstation 3 games. I found that HDMI input makes a big difference on this TV versus my 50 inch Samsung Plasma (looks great with both). Therefore, if you want the best picture out of this product use the HDMI inputs.

I purchased the Vizio VW 26L after seeing my brother's. His family was so happy with their's that I felt good about making this purchase. It was light and easy to transport in the box, and very easy to set up. I ended up needing a newer cable box, but other than that - no issues.
I highly recommend this product!

Vizio is an up-and-coming product that equals or surpasses Sharp, Sony, etc. I read an article about Vizio which stated they are keeping their prices lower in order to out-sell the big guys while offering a better product. I also understand Consumer Reports rates them among the best. It has a great picture and sound. HD is beautiful. I bought a 42" set at the same time and the same goes for it.
