Strengths: Can somehow accept 1080P Signals. Alot better contrast then I expected it to have. No Dead Pixels, Good Build Quality.
Weaknesses: I honestly can't think of any... yet. Actually yea the remote is not incredibly aestetically appeasing.
Summary: Again, as with almost everything I buy I try to get the most bang out of my buck. I am rarely captivated by extremely overpriced electronics just because of the Logo on it, and I hate getting something just because it's cheap. Sometimes you can find a gem that sits in between both that won't nuke your wallet or your spirits. So far this TV has been one of those. Although it advertising a very low contrast ratio in comparison to other LCD TV's I can't tell at all, and somehow I am playing my Xbox 360 at 1080p =D (The TVs advertises 1080i Signals being the highest it can take although strangely it will also take 1080p signals, although I am assuming it just downscales it I am not completely sure as it does look better.)

Strengths: Price, Picture, Lots of Inputs
Weaknesses: Sound, Sexiness
Summary: Great price, good image quality, lots of options so you can tweak the image until it's perfect, and lots of inputs. I had a samsung 720p lcd before this and with a little tweaking it looks just as good. I'm a college student and this is perfect for my Xbox 360. Also, the QAM tuner allows me to watch channels such as FOX,CBS, NBC, etc. in HD for free.
The sound is weak, but this is a common complaint with flat TV's. I have everything hooked up to a surround sound system so this in not an issue.
Also, it isn't the sexiest looking TV ever but it performs well.

Strengths: Good tv for the price no doubt! Good viewing angle and even good when the sun comes through the window.
Weaknesses: TV had a few scratches on it, but that was to be expected since it was a refurb.
Summary: Good TV for the money that was paid! IT picks up some HD channels through my cable without the box, which is nice! Overall, i'd buy it again and i recommend it!

Strengths: great picture, affordable, lots of inputs, easy to use
Weaknesses: can't think of any
Summary: when doing my comparison shopping, i found that the picture on the budget TVs were pretty much just as good as the ones on the higher end ones. so, i chose this over the sony, sharp, and samsung models because the marginal difference in picture quality wasn't worth the $200-$500 premium. also, most of my DVDs are standard definition so 720p is plenty of resolution for me.
when i hooked up an analog connection to TV, the picture was just alright. but when i used HDMI (through my sony NS77H DVD player) the picture was really quite terrific. absolutely worth what i paid at Costco.
i've heard some people complain about the picture quality on this TV, but i would bet it has more to do with setup than the TV itself. make sure you use HDMI and have a DVD player with decent upscaling. also, make sure you play around with the picture settings a bit and get the right colors and brightness.

Strengths: Excellent price, great colors, adjustable pictures, 2 HDMI and multiple other inputs, fantastic picture quality
Weaknesses: N/A
Summary: Vizio's 32" LCD HDTV is a fantastic buy! The picture quality is comparable to top line sets that cost double or even triple what this one does. The features speak for themselves. Challenge any impartial viewer to tell the difference between the Vizio picture and the picture on a Sharp or Samsung model--they won't be able to unless they read the label! I don't know where some people are coming from when they say the color scheme is ugly...looks fantastic as far as I'm concerned.

Strengths: Good price.Vibrant colors, many picture adjustment options; found in higher end TVs. Many inputs: 1 RF, 2 HDMI, VGA, 2 RCA, 2 component, S-video. Native 720p; normal for this price range.
Weaknesses: Viewing angle is not as good as other LCDs; picture sharpness fades from side angle view (about 150 degrees). Weird color scheme: black border, silver speakers, white back, chrome edging on .
Summary: Overall, good LCD TV for the price. Good picture quality, enhanced by the picture options that are great for fine tuning. Lots of connection options .Viewing angle is not as great as other LCDs. Color scheme is a little different, but not a significant problem. Major plus: comes with VIP service which ensures 1 year in home warranty (parts & labor).

Strengths: Low cost
Weaknesses: Not as good contrast or brightness as the really expensive TVs
Summary: Although there are better looking panels on the market, Vizio is the best of the lower price TVs. Not only is the picture quality top notch, but unlike other low cost TVs, the cabinet is not poorly constructed. A great value on a great TV.

Strengths: Price, PQ, inputs, picture adjustment options
Weaknesses: No removable speakers (not common, but an option that I'd like), speakers have an odd shape, vizio logo can be a little distracting
Summary: I'm very glad I purchased this LCD TV. I have it connected to a home theater computer through D-Sub (I wish it would work correctly using HDMI, but I've had no luck) to watch movies, tv, and play games. There are a lot of picture adjustment options which is good especially if you have a calibration disc to maximize image quality. Of all the budget LCDs, this was the one I found to be the best quality and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.

Strengths: Plenty of inputs! Excellent customization controls. Full-featured remote. My daughter loves the multicolored styling. Picture looks great, even when playing back DVD movies at 480i from an XBOX. +++
Weaknesses: None yet
Summary: I was hesitant to purcase a refurbished LCD TV. I had read many posts to the avs forum and had seen some issues with power on. I also saw many positive posts about the quality of this low-cost LCD TV. The TV I received from ONSALE was hard to tell from new. I liked the level of customization of picture and audio, etc. in the TV's Menu. I have hooked up an XBOX, Laptop (1280x768 setting seems to have best ratio/quality) and an HD OTA antenna. I am ecstatic about the results! I have zero buyers remorse - and that's unusual for me. Thanks!

Strengths: Price, easy hook ups and allows for flexibility the size provides for great veiwing range for small apartments
Weaknesses: none
Summary: I have a surround sound, pc,dvd players, and games systems all hooked into this tv and it is taking it all like a champ. There haven't been any problems with this other that the color sometimes changes during movie play and this is due to the fact that I don't have a high def dvd player or the component cables for high def clarity.
If I move to a bigger play I will be purchasing another because I've fallen in love with it. Although a new brand on the market I think that Vizio is great in comparison to other higher named brands. It has exceeded expectations.
