Overall, it’s a great little TV, November 29, 2010

This Vizio 7″ TV has a fabulous picture, is easy to set up, is big enough for the big game, but small enough for sneaking it into work without attracting too much attention. It comes with an adapter cable for hooking it to cable TV or an outside antenna, AC adapter, slip case, full feature remote, and a cable to allow hook up to an external video source like a DVD player. Two faults, however. One – forget about watching broadcast TV while in a moving vehicle (that one is the fault of the new Digital TV broadcasting standards, not the fault of the Vizio). Two, the audio leaves room for improvement. No doubt, compromises must be made to shove so much TV into such a small package, and connecting a cheap pair of multimedia speakers will make the audio A-1. Also, I wish the slip case had pouches for the remote control and the power adapter, but the positives of this unit make my complaints seem petty. In a word, you’ll love this little set!

Great Picture – Terible Sound, January 19, 2011

I purchased this little TV as a gift for my wife. It was easy to set up. Directions were good. Exercise a little caution when extending and retracting the antenna. It’s a little tricky and you could easily break it if you force it the wrong way. I live outside of Philadelhia, PA so there are a several local stations which the TV setup program found. The picture clarity is excelent, and especially so on HD channels. The sound is like listening to an old fashiond cheap ear bud. If you can live with the sound it seems to be a great little TV. It has been plugged in since a few days after Christmas and my wife is happy with it except for the sound.

Was expecting Great, but got Good, January 25, 2011

My first thought after opening the box was WOW. Excellent design, the unit looks impressive, sleek design and definitely nicer than any other 7 inch TV on the market.

Then I turned the TV on ….

The picture looks GREAT … BUT it has red pixels on the screen that won’t change colors. Though the red pixels get lost sometimes if the program is colorful, they are still there. I looked on the quick start guide only to find the following disclaimer:

” Your TV is precision -manufactured …. However, sometimes individual pixels may not display. This is common in this type of product and DOES NOT mean your TV is defective” I am a Manufacturing Engineer for a touch sensor company… this product would never have shipped !

The other drawback are the tinny sounding speakers…. they sound like the designer forgot to incorporate any of the bass frequencies…

The unit looks great … picture is awesome, but quality issues and sound quality need to be addressed !!!
