Just got this LED TV few hours ago, my very first LED TV/monitor. I just finished watching a movie with it using PS3 on a HDMI. Picture and colors are good, way better than the 2 year old Samsung LCD TV (32 inch) that I have been using. The black is more darker and overall color is good. Text is nice and clear on 1080P resolution. Speaker sound is good too considering they are just small speakers with low wattage(5W times 2) but dont expect really loud sound like it would fill the whole room, the sound is good enough for a 26 inch viewing distance (respect your neighbor, use a headphone or something). This thing is lightweight, I had no trouble mounting it on a desktop mount, I was even able lift this thing with just one hand. I have not tested the coax cable, dont really care about that. Overall its good TV and monitor, contrast ratio is rather small, I have seen 3 mil to 1 on similar size monitor compared to just 100k on this one but then it was only 720P. Its also easy to set up for the stand that it came with, no need special tool, just connect the 2 together twist the screw with just your bare hand to tighten up and its good. Anyhow I bought this not knowing a single thing about it, even Vizio website doesnt display this model (as of this writing). I got USB connector, I guess it can view picture or something out of a flash drive, havent use that one yet and probably wont use it ‘cuz I got PS3 thats connected on a WHS. Also theres no dead pixel or stuck pixel on mine, which is good. I would have given a 5 star if it had the WiFi feature thats on their other Razor LED line TVs but given thats cheaper ($100 or so cheaper), it still a good TV and monitor. I wish it had more HDMI input, just 1 more would be nice. I thinking of buying another one, since Im kinda short on HDMI input, I’ll do a dual monitor set up, hhmmm maybe next year.

I just finished hanging this tv in front of our treadmill. The size is perfect and the color is very good. The sound is good for a tv this small. I picked up a 160 channels scanning my cable right out of the wall with no cable box. the only problem I could find was when I wanted to skip channels it would only allow me to skip up to 130 channels and did not see the rest of them , otherwise the TV is great.

I’ve read some reviews about Vizio’s TVs really not going the distance (2 years or so) so I am a little concerned.
That being said, this is an economical, smallish model I got for my bedroom. The options are good, picture is excellent and overall quality seems to be pretty good. The only source is a BD player that also streams HD via Hulu Plus and Netflix. I have also connected this to my PC via the input in the back and it’s an outstanding monitor.
I would recommend this TV if you don’t have the money for a top of the line model. The picture isn’t quite as good as the 40inch Sony XBR on the mantel in the living room, but this was a fraction of the price and does the job well.
My only complain is the remote. It’s a cheesy piece of junk. Buttons are slow and it doesn’t have much in the way of universal compatibility. Even with their OWN BD players (which it’s connected to.) The tech support isn’t great (they’re mostly polite, not super MAGICal, but alright; they just don’t seem to know much.)
So far so good, I will post more if I have concerns.
I did also order the Joe Kane’s Digital Video Essentials: HD Basics [Blu-ray] and am excited to really calibrate this bad boy but so far the minor tweaks produce a pretty damn solid HD picture. And trust me, I’m picky…

This is by far the best LED 26″ you can buy. I first purchased the LG LED 26″ but found that picture was not that great when connected to a computer plus price not that great. I purchased this which is 1080P in resolution and way cheaper than the other 720P LED version from other companies. This Vizio just blew me away compared to other 26″ LED tvs I looked at. Picture and sound is amazing, PC hook up makes this a great computer monitor as well. Has USB to view media so you can view your pictures that are on a flash drive. The black gloss finish just adds to it. Controller for TV also better than average. Maybe a little big for my taste. I’m used to the small apple remote. I also want to mention that this was by far the easiest TV to put the stand on. No screw driver needed, just slide in and twist the provided screw. I still can’t believe I got such a great TV for the price. I hooked up my PS3 to this also and for any gamers out there, I never experienced any ghosting. If your looking to buy a new 26″ LED TV you have a winner with this Vizio!

Very happy with this purchase. The picture quality is excellent. 720 pixels seems to be plenty for a 26″ display. In fact, the picture quality is sharper on this TV than on the 32″ 1080p Vizio that I bought a week later. The sound quality is also excellent. I decided that the 26″ screen was a little too small for a bedroom TV and went with a 32″ screen instead. We did keep this 26″ inch TV though for use in another room.
