Buying another one. Review by Bob

I use this tv at our breakfast bar. It is connected to a high def cable box and to the hdmi output of a small desktop computer. Does a fantastic job as a TV and as a Monitor. Thin design, great styling, great picture, and considering its thin profile, the sound is ok. Not Home Theater quality, but who would expect that in a set this thin. My only complaint, is that the menu screen pops up on its own. Have a feeling it may be caused by the computers wireless keyboard and mouse. Am now looking at a 26 inch one to do the same thing, but in the computer room.

Very Good TV Review by KeithK

I ordered this TV from WalMart online and received it about a week ago. I plugged it into my DirecTV box and I must admit, the overall picture & sound quality of both HD and non HD channels is very good.

It's a very slim TV, so it will fit nicely on a shelf or the dresser in your room.

The remote control is small and has a nice quality feel to it (I hate remotes with thousands of buttons. This remote is NOT one of those).

The only additional thing that I decided to do was purchase a VESA-Compliant monitor stand for it, which allows me to rotate the TV easier and raise it up or down for viewing comfort while in bed. The stand provided only allows you to swivel the TV's angle up or down.

The stand I bought was (it works well with this TV):

It's a good TV, folks.

Beautiful TV Review by Jason

I bought this tv because my 25 year old sony finally kicked the bucket. My first impression of this tv is that it is gorgeous. I absolutely love everything about it. It has a lot of inputs and the picture quality is amazing. The sound was surprisingly very good. What I love most about this tv is that it has a glossy screen which makes the picture quality 100 times better than a matte screen. The packing is also very nice and it comes with an exceptional full color manual. If you were wondering about buying this TV just go out and buy it and you will not be disappointed. Plus vizio is an American owned company so you will be buying a home grown product and not some imported crap. I hope in the future Vizio will make more glossy screen tvs like this one because I absolutely love it.

Fantastic TV Review by DLM

I've had this T.V. for a while now and I thought I'd give everyone my impressions of it...


About a couple of months or so ago, I was looking to replace my Insignia hand me down from my sis. It had terrible quality. A limited VGA resolution, no HDMI inputs- it sucked really bad but it did the job at that time. Being a tech junkie, I had been hearing about LED TVs for a while so I started looking up new TVs and I came across this one. Went to my local Sam's Club and bought it.

I really love this TV and it was quite the bargain at a little over $300. Games on my XBOX 360 are vivid (via generic HDMI cable) and there's a better variation in colors and detail compared to my old TV and even name brands. With this you see things you would have never seen on a standard set. This is hands down the best TV that I've ever played my games on. Nuff said...

As far as cable and everything, it performs just as well. If you don't have HD programming and your primary use would be for watching TV, I wouldn't recommend this TV or any HDTV for that matter. Standard def programming on ANY HDTV is blurry, pixelated and all around the worst picture you could get ever. If you do have HD programming, just another reason to buy this thing.

In conclusion, BUY IT!!! It is extremely cheap being an LED TV and 23". You will never find a bargain like this from Samsung, LG or Sony. This TV does just as good as those brands if not better. My only complaint is the remote. You have to point it directly at the TV for it to pick up the signal. Other than that, it's the best investment I've ever made. When you buy this you will not be disappointed. I promise you that.

Love it Review by rolson3788

We just bought this TV a had it mounted in our travel trailer. We absolutely love it. Our trailer is a 2001 so we had a 13 inch TV/VCR combo sitting on the space next tot he counter. Now we mounted this above and it picks up the digital channels and no more converter box. The clarity and color are great. Would recommend

Nothing better. Review by Exigent

After researching and trying to find a TV specifically for my XBOX, I came across this one. Luckily, we had one up at my local WalMart for me to look at and compare against the other TVs in mind.

When I unboxed the TV and put the stand together, it's hard to believe that it's only twenty-three inches, because it seems so much larger than that, it has the appearance of at least a 26/27" LCD.

If you're thinking of purchasing this TV, do NOT hesitate, as it is a wise investment. If you're purchasing it for a gaming tv, you will not find a TV that is better. I guarantee it, if you're purchasing it for just the regular use to watch tv, If you're connecting to a cable box, use component cables or HDMI, if you use a regular coaxe cable you might see some slight grainy issues. So, make sure you use component or HDMI when hooking it up to a cable box.

As far as gaming goes (if anyone is looking at this TV for that sole purpose) the picture quality is PHENOMENAL. I went from a 27" CRT standard definition, to this Vizio. And I nearly drooled at how much of a difference it truly makes, I'm running 1080p via HDMI and my games on my 360 are breathtaking. There's so much more detail in games like Call of Duty that I didn't even know existed, from seeing every detail of a prestige emblem, to camo colors, to names being so clear and landscapes coming to life it seems.

For the pro's and cons, completely unbiased.

Pro's:
A( Amazing picture quality (A LOT of options for adjusting to your preferences)
B( The size is amazing. It's very slim, compact, yet still a large screen.
C( The design is flawless. Very glossy, extremely durable.
D( Options. Options are endless, whether you want to wall mount, or use it for a game room tv. Or you want one in your kitchen, or even use it as a computer monitor. Variety is the spice of life, and you can't go wrong.

Con's:
A( The volume isn't bad, but some programs can be slightly hard to hear, I was watching Justified and I had to have it on 50 just to hear clearly. Yet, watching The Hills on MTV I needed it on around 10-15 so it's not so much about the TV itself, it's more so channel based.

Over all, the TV is a steal at the price and an investment that you should make if you're looking to purchase a TV around this size and price range. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this TV.

I highly recommend this TV for anyone questioning their selves about buying it. You will not regret buying it.

Great TV Review by poppies1976

Bought this TV for my wife for Mother's Day, and will be used for our Bedroom. As advertised this unit is stellar!! For it's size the picture is amazing and crisp. The razor thickness just makes it beautiful. If you are on the fence, and come across this post...take it from a technology junky, Buy It!!

Excellent TVs Review by Bob

I bought this TV at BJ's after purchasing the Vizio 19" for my kitchen. You can't go wrong with Vizio. I have 5 Vizio TVs now (19" & 23" LED, and two 32" & a 42 LCD) and I have had absolutely no problem with any of them. The picture quality matches or exceeds any other TV on the market and the price is very reasonable. One of the 32" TVs I use for my computer monitor which was my first Vizio bought in Dec. 06 and they all are still going strong.

Fabulous Review by Kai

I purchased the Vizio 23" Razor LED LCD for my 10 yr. old son to go in his playroom. It was a steal at $230. (I won a bid on ebay). We love the tv. The Wii and Xbox look great on it. We are considering the 46" also. You can't beat the picture quality for the size, and the thinness and lack of heat is absolutely fabulous! Way to go Vizio.
