Yes I have owned 2 Vizio LCD's and both were pretty good for the money. They're more of a budget brand and the picture quality is not the best in terms of contrast, black levels, and color reproduction. I would go with the 720p model for use as a bedroom tv.

Thanks,  that's what I was wondering if a 32" 720p or 1080p would make a difference in my bedroom,  but then there was the 60Hz and 120Hz as well hmmm

On a 32" the difference between 720p and 1080p will not be as obvious. Do you plan on using this tv to watch blu rays or a video game system (Xbox 360/PS3)? If not then 1080p is probably not worth the extra cost. 120hz and 60hz refer to the refresh rate (similar to a computer monitor), a faster refresh rate will make fast moving images appear smoother. It's also great for gaming.

My friend has one, and he stated the brand to be notoriously inferior. I guess he had bad luck. He bought 2 displays to use as displays that constantly show products on screen in his store. One displays backlight died and the other is on the verge on dying as well. He does run them almost 24/7 but those displays are supposed to have a longer life than 5-6 months

Advice, go to a store with the exact models (or at least th ebrandname) and see them, play with them.  Don't make judgements solely on internet only.  This isn't a computer monitor, it's a tv, an investment for years longer.  Get a feel of it way before you "pull the trigger".

A college suitemate got a 37" 720p Vizio from Costco for our dorm, it was decent, it did look as if he spent more, but back then it was cheap, lol.  Although he did complain about the pixel size while playing Xbox live, and we made fun of him saying most people don't sit 3 feet from the screen.

My personal thought is a bit iffy on the screen resolution, I'm worried since I'm used to a 1080p 24" from 2-3 feet away, even if I sit far enough back with a 32" 720p, that it might not look right.  DVD"s are 480p and 720p, but Blu-Rays are not.

thatswhy we asked what he was using it for. because 720p on too big of a screen would look bad. but so would 1080 on things with low res source video. like PS3 and 360 that are around 500p. 


just go with the 1080p one. roughly same size screen wasnt it? had a lower response time and is higher resolution.

I have a 42" 120 Hz Vizio LCD TV, I've had NO problems with it and I have owned for 2 years. I bought it Sam's Club , but they do sell them at other places as well. I would say if you're going to watch Blu-ray on it I'd opt for a 120 Hz model, My inlaws have a 37" sony thats only 720p and 60Hz and when you play DVDs it ghosts alot, mine doesn't . 

Wait a second,  I see LCD LED HDTVs,  does that mean the back light is LED?  and if so is that better?  My head hurts from a simple 32" TV

Well, TD seems to be having a deal on a 42" ... Specs look good and everything, but don't know if it's a good deal or not.

Anyway, here it is:

What ever you do get a 1080p TV!

Yes, don't settle for 720.

Well... I have seen more of those returned to Costco and Best buy than even the Dinex brand. SO I have stayed away.

That said... We debated on this as well this past weekend and ended up with another off brand for the US.. Westinghouse 32" LED 720p for $329 at Costco. Same here at Amazon... We even wall mounted it on a 360 swivel mount...

Just keep in mind nearly every LED TV is actuality the lighting portion of the TV's... Some fire from the sides while others from the rear. Let your eyes decide.

BTW if you buy your TV from Costco (If one is near you) they double the Manufacturer warranty for free....

Edit.... DOH! Forgot to hit post hahahaha... Sorry for the delay as other have already mentioned on the LED's...

I have one its a 55in led lcd from vizio and i love it. i got it at sams club. they had that same 32 you were looking at for 298 right now. most of there tv's that are vizios are really cheap. i think i even saw a 47 for 688 and it was 120hz. so you might check them out.

That screen looks really good.

I have the 42" Vizio 1080p lcd for 6 months or so and the picture has been real nice...I love watching movies upstairs in our bedroom on it.

All my stuff is hooked up to receivers, so I can't really comment on the speakers but I have always heard in-tv speakers are junk on any TV, any brand...

I have a 47" / 120Hz Vizio that i bought from Wal-Mart and the TV was great at first but rigth around 90 days (Wal-Mart money back return) it started acting up as when you turn it on from a cold start it has 3 diffrent fine black lines about 6 inchs apart from side to side and within the lines it looks like noise made up of more black lines moving around.. after 10-15mins it will go alway and look normal.
