Customer Reviews

You get what you pay for.
I selected the Vizio V0370M because of its low energy consumption and its reasonable (low) price. I received a product with a level of quality consistent with the low price paid.

Pros: Great energy consumption at 110W. Attractive case design. Bright screen with vibrant colors. Simple, easy to use remote. Good quality picture with 1080 signal.

Cons: Takes 10 seconds to power on and become fully functional. Sound quality is mediocre. Suffers from a software/firmware issue, which manifests when using the remote's "Guide" button. Use of the "Guide" button can lock out all control from the remote, and all but the power button on the TV (which is fortunate, since the only way to clear the problem is a power cycle). Poor quality rendering of any signal that is not 1080. If using a VCR or standard definition DVD player, expect the picture to look worse than with an old 480 CRT. Skin tones are frequently purple in spite of every effort to adjust controls (including utilizing numerous default settings and custom options). Color issues are generally worse with non-1080 signal sources. No screen aspect ratio button on remote (requires that one go through menus to change setting).

Who knew trying to be "green" and save some green would require such sacrifice.

No picture quality issues, but slow at startup
After a good experience with my V VIZIO VO37LF - 37" LCD TV - widescreen - 1080p (FullHD) - HDTV I had no hesitation in buying another Vizio TV from Costco last week, when replacing an old second TV. I chose this model because it was being sold at a low price under an "instant rebate" offer.

After a week or so of use, I don't like it quite as much as I like my other Vizio 37" HDTV, but I'm happy with the purchase and believe I got my money's worth.

Unlike other reviewers who have posted here, I have had no problems with color or picture quality. I don't like the way the menu/setup options are displayed onscreen, which is really a minor gripe. My main issue with this TV is that it takes longer to startup when first turned on, or when I change from one input to another (TV, HDMI1, HDMI3, etc.). Although it's a matter of seconds, it is a bit longer than my other Vizio TV takes. Also, the remote control seems flimsier and cheaper than the remote for my other Vizio.

On the other hand, this TV cost at least two hundred bucks less, so I consider it a good value for the money. It's worked well with my LG BD 370 Network Blu-ray Disc Player both with DVDs and Netflix movies. I just got the LG player and haven't tried any blu-ray discs yet.

I went to the Vizio website and looked up each of these TV models under the "support" tab, and printed out the tech specs for each one. They are overall quite similar, but not identical in all respects. I'm sure the discriminating videophiles who are shopping for HDTVs will be able to decide, based on the specs, if this is a TV they want to try. For this non-expert consumer, it's been a good purchase.

Newer model is a great 1080p for the price
There is a newer model (Vizio VL370M instead of VO370M) to which I give an unequivocal 5 stars: please see my review under that model number.
