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…

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.

The TV came out of the box with a high-pitched noise in the background when the sound was on. I’ve seen other reports of this with Vizios. Their service department promised a 2-day response, but when I hadn’t heard back in that time frame I returned the TV to Amazon and purchased a Samsung. Vizio service finally got back to me after 6 days.

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!
