great customer service and beautiful picture Review by liz

I purchases this TV and I had problems with the TV. The "Big Box" store I bought it from would not exchange it so I called VIZIO. They apologized and immediately sent me a new (NOT RECONDITIONED) in the box TV. It was easy and they were so nice. I am now looking for at a larger TV to replace my 32" picture tube TV and with this kind of service it will definitely be a VIZIO!!!

Great Quality & Price But Limited Audio Out Options Review by Dom

Overall, I don't think you can really beat the 26" Vizio for the price. It's sleek, functional, and when compared to other models in it's size range there's no contest; the Vizio wins hands down! I do however, think the outputs could be a bit more robust. There should definitely be a universal audio out (specifically RCA, Digital Audio, or both) enabling fast and easy connection to component speakers / amps / receivers / etc. USB input(s) are also lacking but for the LOW PRICE of $231 from Target (special discount) who could resist?

Great TV - Excellent Picture Quality Review by Matt In ILM

My big/old/HEAVY (Cathode Ray Tube) RCA 25" TV quit, after 14 years.
It had been a good set, w/reasonable picture quality. Probably a big energy hog.

I replaced it w/a Vizio 32" HD-TV (Model # SV320XVT). I was so impressed w/the features & picture quality, I went back a few days later & bought this set (Model # VA26L-HDTV10T). Both purchased @ Costco, which I also highly recommend -- great prices after much checking around. Costco also doubles the manufacturer's warranty !!

I'm very pleased w/both of my Vizio sets: Amazingly sharp picture quality, good color tone, easy to set up & control w/the remote. Only negative I'd say about this, the smaller set, is that it lacks the USB port. A minor nit to pick; everything else about the set is outstanding.

Bottom line/summery is that I'd buy another Visio in a heartbeat. It is every bit as good as I hoped it would be. &, @ a reasonable price.

Great TV Review by Astroman

The VIZIO VA26LHDTV-10X is a great LCD HDTV. I have no problems with the TV.

However; If your cable company supplies the Motorola DCX3400 DVR, it will not interface with the newer model HDTVs using HDCP handshake with a HDMI interface. This includes this VIZO model and some other manufacturers. Motorola and VIZIO technical support both confirmed this issue is a problem for Motorola to correct. Comcast and Brighthouse both supply the Motorola DCX3400 DVR.

The problem is the TV and DVR has to make a HDCP handshake anytime you shut your TV off or you will lock up the DVR or change the picture resolution going to your HD-TV forcing you to un-plug the DVR to reset it and go back and redo the DVR setup for your HD-TV.

I'm sure Motorola will have a fix for the newer model HD-TVs in the near future.

Absolutely Great Picture Review by gazarama

With this purchase, this is our family's 1st TV of the 21st century - a flat panel one anyway! I've always been impressed with the picture quality when I've looked at them at Walmart.

Don't have any complaints with it, although I have Dish Network and that is an analog connection. I guess I need to get the HDTV channels installed.

Definitely will be buying the Vizio brand to replace the TV in the living room at a later date.

Great picture, ok sound and the lighted VIZIO on the front is a nice touch. Review by buckbadly

Bought this as a second "cartoon" tv in the other living room. Got tired of watching spongebob on my Philips plasma. This tv has a great picture, a ton of features and hookups, the sound is just ok. Too bad it isn't at least 1080I but for the price, no complaints.

Great LCS TV Review by Al

I originally purchased a 23" LED Razor TV and installed on a wall in my kitchen. I noticed that the screen was really shinny and I was getting glares off the kitchen light. I ended up taking it back and buying a 26 LCD Vizio TV and I really love it. I do not have any glares because the screen is not shinny. I would recommend this TV to everyone.

WOW!!!!! Review by los

I recently purchased this tv as a gift for the wife and man what a great find. I got a heck of a deal at costco. This tv is absolutly awesome!!! The colors are vibrant, the sound is amazing for a tv this size, HD inputs look very remarkable for a low cost tv. As it turns out the day I get this tv my living room tv, a sony kv36xbr800 trinitron, stopped working after a long 9 years of enjoyment. So we have placed the 26" in the living room while we await the release of the SV472XVT true led tv. for now I will enjoy this tv in the livivng room with my wifey. She will have it in the bedroom once Vizio unleashes the 47" I have been waitng for. The only concern for us is the piano finish on the front and the stand. Those parts are absolute dust and finger print magnets but only a minor concern. Keep it up Vizio!!

Va26 vizio is the perfect size Review by Popeye

This LCD HDTV is the perfect size for my bedroom and it does display in 1080p when I connect my xbox360 with the Hdmi cable. It also displays 1080p on cable tv. It all depends on the channel and source. Great TV, and I look forward to staying with Vizio in terms of quality. I got it on black Friday for 248, best deal so far this year.
Thank you for a great product

Great TV Review by Jim

Bought TV for our BR. Hung it on the wall. Great looking set with a super picture, especially for the price. Have it hooked up to just coaxal cable and use -1 to get HD. Works great. This is my 2nd Vizio. Great sets.

AWESOME TV!!! Review by kevin

well i havent owned a tv in like 3 years or so... when i decided to start shopping for one i set a budget of $300.00 just because i didnt want to go all out, i shopped the black friday ads and of the ones that would fit in my budget they all had horrible reviews, i had actually bought a 26" dynex from best buy for 249.00 on sale. after only having it for a few days i was browsing at target hoping their hdmi cables were still on sale (the monday after black friday) anyways as im shopping i look and see a flyer for this tv, on sale for $279.00. ive been eyeing vizio for quite some time only non of the tv's fit into my budget, so when i saw this price i immediatley bought it and took the dynex back. so far i couldnt be happier, picture is crystal clear for my pc, which im running in hdmi, i had to adjust the resolution slightly for the picture to fit to screen, the pc is capable of 1080p, and this tv is only 720p. i listen to a lot of music on itunes and i can turn the volume all the way up and sound quality is awesome! im currently shopping for a surround sound, but no distortion or echoing of any kind. i only have a basic cable box broadcasting in 480i, even still the picture is great, bright whites, and dark blacks. i would recommend this tv to anyone on a budget, and should i ever decide to go bigger, vizio will be at the top of my list.

the only complaint i have for this tv, is if you leave the computer idle for a certain time, even when music is playing, the screen goes blue and says no signal, but i think its all the new tv's because my gf's brothers tv does the same with his ps3 and he has a 42" samsung.

i hope this review helps.

Outstanding Picture Review by Mikey

Our bulky Sony t.v. bought the farm, therefore i was looking for a new t.v. Measured entertainment center and went to Walmart. Came home with this t.v. at a great price. Hooked it up to Directv's highdefinition pack and the NFL Sunday Ticket has never looked better.Thanks for making such a great t.v. Income tax season is around the corner and will buy another for the bedroom.

Happy Hokie Review by Hokie

We bought 3 of these at one time. One for my sister, one for my my man cave, and one for the bedroom. They are neatly stylish, and provide a very good picture especially when considering the price. We paid $248. each at Walmart and are very satisfied.

Another great TV Review by AMDi

I was looking to change the bulky old TV in my daughters room. My wife and i found this perfect size Vizio TV for a great deal at wal-mart. It was an easy set up, and our 3rd addition to the Vizio TVs we have in our home. A great company that produces awesome TVs!! Thanks Vizio!!!

Great LCD for the Price. Review by Tech Boy

The Vizio 26" LCD TV is great for the price. It has all the must-have plugins like HDMI, Compostie, Cable and more. The glossy black finish looks great and resists scratching. The picture is fairly decent. The clarity could be a little better and it's a shame it's not 1080p but at full res, it still looks great at 720p. At this price, it's hard to beat. I got mine at Wal-Mart for $298!
