Vizio 32" LCD TV VO32L - Pros and Cons

The Vizio 32" LCD TV VO32L is a HDTV model in the Vizio Evolution Series. It is a TV that is priced in the mid range. So is it worth the asking price?

Before I get into the pros and cons of the VO32L, let's take a quick look at the main specifications:

1366 X 768 resolution
16:9 ratio wide screen ratio
HDTV and standard TV tuner combination
22 year/50,000 hours lamp life

Pros
The connectivity on this TV is fantastic. I also really liked the matte finish. Don't be fooled by the lack of 1080p resolution, or "true HD". You don't need it at this resolution; in fact it would be nothing more than a waste so it's good that Vizio have kept costs down with the 1366 x 768 resolution.

You will also find more picture modes on this TV compared with most others in its class: 9 in total. Some work well whilst others don't make a huge difference.

Cons
Some reviewers have been very happy with black levels whilst others said that the blacks could be deeper. My opinion is somewhere in the middle: the blacks are not perfect (one would not expect them to be in a mid range TV) but they certainly could be a lot worse. The remote layout could also do with some fine tuning to make it a little more user friendly.

Consumer Opinion
There are countless positive reviews and comment about the Vizio 32" LCD TV VO32L including one Amazon reviewer stating that "the picture is amazing" and another remarking that "I love this High Def TV. I can't imagine one with a better picture."

The VO32L is a great TV for the price. If you can overlook the minor issue of lack of aspect ratio control on HD sources and the less than ideal remote layout you will find that it is true value for money.
