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
