This is a great TV for the price. I love it. You don’t have much selection if you need/want a 37″ TV like I did, but you are lucky that Vizio makes one. It is energy efficient and thin (LED), has internet APS and a great picture (you buy a TV primarily for the picture, and this TV has absolutely great picture quality!). It worked flawlessly right out of the box. It picked up my Wireless-N signal – just had to enter the access code.

Contrary to another review decrying an overly-complex user interface, I found quite the opposite to be true. In essence the instruction manual says “install the base, put in place, plug it in, turn it on, and the TV itself will guide you through the rest of the setup.” True! Utterly painless, no hitches or hassles or restarts. About five minutes to get the input sources plugged in and registered and I’m off Web surfing with the biggest monitor I’ve ever owned. Oh, and the DVD player works, too. The next morning I turned it on and it downloaded its firmware and software updates before coming to life. The tv has a computer in itself.

Sound is pretty good, too, for TV speakers. With my old TV I used a pair of high-end computer speakers instead of the TV speakers so that I could hear and understand voices clearly, not needed with this set.

Even using analog inputs from the DVD player, the picture is much sharper than on the previous CRT TV.
