I Love It!, August 22, 2010

I own the 26″ version of this TV (I also own a 47″ Vizio) and I needed a small TV to use for a convention display table. The reason I purchased this one is that it is unique in that it has forward facing speakers. Most small TV’s have downward facing speakers and in a large room they are much harder to hear. This TV is perfect, small, loud volume and has a great picture. I also like how Vizio packs their small TV’s because they are easy to re-pack and the box can be used many times. The base plate also comes off easy.

Highly recommend.

An excellent budget small HDTV, November 26, 2010

This is my first Vizio, after watching them for a couple of years. I bought it to replace an early 13 inch early AQUOS LCD. Over the last five years, I own/have owned Sony, Sylvania, two AQUOS and a Samsung LCDs from 13 to 36 inch.

IMO, this is a great little TV. It is very attractive, has an excellent picture, and is easy to set up. (Other than recording the model and serial numbers, I have yet to open the manual (real men don’t need no stinking instructions! ), and have been able to do all I want so far using the menu system…)

I am sensitive to good sound quality, and was concerned about some of the reviews complaining about the sound. Am unsure what the folks who panned the speakers expect from a 19 inch TV, and “out of the box” the sound is a bit thin and tinny, but getting into the setup menu and playing around with the sound settings, from automatic to “roll your own” in the equalizer mode provides completely acceptable sound quality (for me) with adequate volume for a small room (this tiny TV has tiny speakers. It is NOT a Klipsch or Bose 7.1 THX speaker set).

The only thing I am not wild about is the glossy “cabinet”… I prefer a matte/semi gloss finish, but realize I’m swimming upstream on that one, so with all the pluses for this unit, I can live with the shiny case.

I am pleased with this set, and if its longevity lives up to its initial perception, Vizio has a winner in the mini TV market. If you are looking for a small HD TV, the M190VA is an excellent choice for value, features and quality.

Perfect desktop TV, October 9, 2010

If you are looking for a TV to use in a standard bedroom, this will surely fill the bill. Great space saving design – thin and compact. It is a great looking unit too. Nice feeling and functional remote. The picture is outstanding, especially when connected to an HD source. Sound is really nice. This is the best TV for under 0 you can find.
