Everything I could ask for
 
Review Date: July 24, 2008
Reviewer: King Lerch, Ohio USA
This undercounter 10.2" TV (from what I was able to try) works great:

- The screen size is nice
- The controls and screen are splatter resitant
- The display swivel works great - then securely stays under the base
- The digital tuner picked up more stations than any other TV I own
- The picture (for digital TV) is excellent
- The analog picture is average
- The undercounter mounting worked great
- The customization menus are very nice, although not the most extensive more menus would be unnecessary for such a small display
- It saved my settings when wall power went off
- White color looks at home in a kitchen

I really can find no faults, except there were a few things I didn't try. It has MP3 capability, which for DVD players is normally poor with no random or menu controls. I didn't try this function yet so I can't complain. And the remote control battery came dead so I didn't try that either yet. If either of these two are remarkable I will report back.

Other than that, this display is a tremendous value.
In defense of some bad reviews!
 
Review Date: April 23, 2009
Reviewer: T. Jefferson, Oregon Coast
After reading many reviews before buying a product like this, and being very skeptical based on the bad reviews, we decided to give this unit a try. It seems you either love it or hate it. I decided to side with the "love it" extreme. Though it may not be a perfect product, it is perfectly suited for what we're using it for. I'd like to defend some of the features people were disappointed in:

Ease of mounting - We put it up in about 5 minutes. The holes were aligned on the template just fine, and it came with two sets of screws. Any difficulty might be with cabinets that are recessed or not deep enough. You need a good 18 inches depth to have enough room for cables behind and to operate the controls if cabinets come down over them. We have a corner cabinet it fit perfectly under.
Volume/sound quality - The volume control works fine. The sound is a little dull, but, hey, this isn't a Bose system.
Picture quality - Again, consider what you're paying and what you're getting. The picture is just fine to sit and watch the news or a cooking show in your kitchen. As far as needing to be dead on to view the screen, I haven't found that to be true. It was actually better than I expected for an LCD screen.
Delay between features - It does take a few seconds to switch between DVD mode/TV mode/radio mode, and to power on, but there is an indicator bar on the screen so you know the progress you're making. It really isn't that annoying. (Also about the DVD player, it does need to be on and in the DVD mode before it will eject.)
Not cable ready - Our cable connection works fine.
The magnetic remote - Mine wasn't magnetic either. But I'll live.

As far as durability, I'll have to wait another 91 days to see if it dies when the warranty expires. I'll revise my review if it does! Otherwise, I'm glad we purchased this unit. Even my 14-year old son, who loves electronic gadgets, thinks it's pretty cool.

Great item

I installed this item in my camper, and its perfect. My camper is a Teardrop and this unit was very easy to mount inside. Just the right size for the camper.

Good basic TV for a great price
 
Review Date: September 6, 2009
Reviewer: Hangmeup, Illinois
I bought this television as a gold box on Thursday and had it delivered to me on Saturday by FedEx. Excellent service - thanks!

The TV is a very basic model (no DVD). Quality is always subjective, but in my opinion the picture quality is excellent and the sound quality is average. I am replacing an old smaller Toshiba analog that had Dolby, so I might just be a sound snob at this point. The TV does have plenty of connection ports available, so if you could easily hook up a home theater system if you wished.

The pictures on Amazon don't clearly show that there is a red stripe bordering the bottom of the TV - if you look very closely at the picture it is most visible where the base connects. This border stretches the length of the TV on the bottom - I think it is attractive but it may be a deal breaker for some.

Overall - simple TV, simple to connect, really great value. I am very happy with this purchase.
What's In a Name?
 
Review Date: September 29, 2009
Reviewer: E. C. Preston, Austin, TX
Other than the name brand being new to me (I have recieved a few jokes about the name being similar to a facial cleanser) I would have no reservations about buying this tv again. We have it set up with basic cable and on the major networks that broadcast the HD signal the picture looks as sharp (If not better) than our Samsung HD and Sony HD LCD sets. Sad but true. I'm a bit dubious of how long this tv might last but so far so good. At the price, we kind of thought that if it lasts a year or two, we probably got our money's worth.

Before I bought (as part of the Gold Box special) I tried to look around for information. The brand got some good reviews, good consumer reviews but was not well reviewed by the Better Business Bureau, not responding to consumer complaints, etc. And as for the brand itself, it seems like a 2nd (or 3rd?) tier (on par with vizio, etc) made exclusively for Wal-Mart. Possibly made by WalMart as they share the same corporate headquarters site in Bentonville, Arkansas.

The only downside really is the sound quality but we have a little bose stereo that we hook up and Viola! Problem Solved. (It's not awful sound by any means, probably wouldn't go out of our way to even do that but it sits right next to it and really takes less than three seconds so...) It also seems to take a little while to come on after hitting the power button and the volume and channel buttons seems to be set beackwards on the top of the set itself. On the other hand, for such an economical set I'm pretty impressed with the amount of outlets for inputs it has.

Bottomline: this is an inexpensive tv set. It probably isn't going to have a long life (without warranty) and you proabaly won't have a lotta luck with customer relations department if something should go wrong. But impressive picture quality.

Having only had this for a few weeks, I'll update later on the quality over a longer duration.
awesome 26 inch TV
 
Review Date: September 8, 2009
Reviewer: Monique, Virginia
I bought this as a gold box deal on Thursday. Much to my pleasant surprise I received it on Friday. I was replacing an older 19 inch analog set in my bedroom. Picture quality is superb. I really can't tell the difference in picture quality between the Voire and my SONY. Sound quality is great. The SONY menu is a little easier to use but that may be because it is a 32 inch verses a 26 inch. The Viore is very easy to set up. Bottom line, I am very happy with my purchase.
Excellent 1080p TV
 
Review Date: October 16, 2009
Reviewer: Joseph Dewey, Orem, UT USA
This is a great TV. It's light, slim, and has a great picture.

I bought it because it was the cheapest good quality TV availble on Amazon at the time.

The TV I received from amazon has twice as many plugs or connections as the one that's displayed in the pictures. It has 2 HDMI plugs, an S-Video plug, a computer screen plug, a component plug, and 2 of the regular video plugs. That was my only reservation in buying this was that it didn't have enough plugs, so I was very happy to see that it has tons more than the display model.

It does have a red strip across the bottom, which I like because the room where I have it has lots of red. I saw a similar model at Costco with a gray strip across the bottom, so if you don't like the red strip, I'm sure you can find a Viore without one.

Satisfied with this purchase
 
Review Date: December 6, 2009
Reviewer: ShoppingBag, Deep South, Earth
I purchased this TV 3 months ago for my kitchen/dining area as a replacement due to the analog/HD change. The price was attractive but I was a bit skeptical of the name brand and quality. This unit is made in China. The instructions were adequate, very easy to set up and program. I am amazed at the quality of the HD picture on this set. I use it every day, and I am very satisfied with this purchase. I have had no problems with the remote even after all the times it has been knocked off the table. The sound is just average but I didn't expect more due to the size and price. We do not use the set as a pc monitor or for gaming, but we have it set up for playing dvd's as well as viewing local channels.. The one tiny complaint I have is that it seems to take longer to start up and change channels than I am used to. Maybe just a second or two diff., but just so you know.
As a result of this purchase, I bought another larger model Viore from Amazon for our bonus room for about a hundred dollars more. It also has an amazingly sharp and brilliant HD picture. I have to use 2 remotes for the newer bigger one because it receives satellite, but for the low price, it's just a little inconvenience.
I now have 2 excellent televisions to received HD broadcasts for less than one tv would have cost last year. As long as you know that universal remotes won't work with these TV's it's a good buy. Also, I have a prime membership which is so well worth the annual cost. No local taxes, no shipping!
YEA Amazon!

UPDATE...December 10. I had a scare but it turned out to be the batteries in the remote! What happened was the television channel reception was stationary, repeating the same garbled sounds and scrambled pixels. I could not change the channel or turn it off. yikes I thought for sure the television was gone... but it worked just fine as soon as new batteries were installed. Just change the batteries if your tv suddenly loses it's mind.

Just Wow
 
Review Date: January 6, 2010
Reviewer: Scott Baker,
I bought this for my brother for Christmas. We set it up on Christmas day, and just sat and marveled at the picture quality.
The only knock on this TV is the alternate ON/Off switch which is hidden on the bottom. I don't know why they installed this feature, but it caused us a little stress when we couldn't figure out why the TV wouldn't turn on.
Other than that (which is so minor), the TV is perfect. I'm jealous!

Review Date: December 25, 2009
Reviewer: Frederick J. Vollmer, Florida
Exceptional picture. Compared TV's at Best Buy but noticed they didn't have this model on display (SL). Easy setup plus many fine tuning adjustments for about any picture quality you would want. Was very satisfied (five star) on service & shipping from this seller. Could not be more pleased.
Better than expected
 
Review Date: January 9, 2010
Reviewer: M. Fenwick, Bluegrass State
Bought the 47SL90 just before Christmas after researching many HDTVs including Samsung and Sony. Overall the LG is better than I expected. Picture is just fantastic, with super bright colors, great blacks and whites, contrast, tru-motion video, etc. Being hearing impaired in the human voice audio frequencies, the Clear Voice feature is great. I can finally watch TV without closed captioning, or turning the volume up. Although I found the audio quality satisfying, I have added a Bose speaker system with sub-woofer to make it even better. Watching Blu-ray through my PS3 makes the movies jump out at you. Fantastic!
LG 47sl90 has beautiful picture
 
Review Date: December 7, 2009
Reviewer: Jim, WI
I bought this TV about three weeks ago. I still have an analog cable connection, but I was surprised at how nicely the TV upscales it. The sound is pretty darn good for such a thin TV, but I do plan to hook it into a separate audio system.

My wife has a neurological disability and spends a lot of time with the TV. She really enjoys the new picture. One problem she has had is remembering which buttons to press on the increasingly complicated remotes that come with TVs and other electronics. LG included a very simple second remote that deals with only the basics. She is finding that a delight to use.

I also bought an LG BluRay player and connected it to the TV. With the TV off, I put a disc in the player and was surprised to see the TV turn itself on, ready to play the disc. That makes things even easier to use.

I can highly recommend this TV.
LG LED Flat Panel
 
Review Date: January 28, 2010
Reviewer: Tom E. Poturica, Rochester, MN
One of the main reasons to get this flat panel over others is the lack of glare. I looked at all brands and they all seemed to display the stores mercury vapor lights quite well except for the LG models. There is no glare from my windows or overhead lights at home.. it is very nice. The other beauty of this set is the clarity and display of colors that I didn't know existed. We popped in Nemo for the kids when we first got and stared in disbeleif at how beautiful the charecters were in bright tropical colors... It is also only about an inch thick and weighs only 40 pounds so easy for 1 person to move or even mount on the wall. I couldn't be happier with this model from LG.

Brilliant color, rich detail and deep contrast in a sleek razor thin design. Click to enlarge.

A stylish, modern aesthetic with full edge-to-edge cover glass.

Illuminated touch controls with proximity sensor.

Sensors auto-adjust brightness for the perfect picture regardless of room conditions.

Razor LED
VIZIO is the first to bring LED technology to smaller-sized LCD HDTVs. This mercury-free, energy-efficient, razor-thin HDTV achieves a 20,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio, giving you deeper blacks and brighter whites.

With a native panel resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, the VM190XT is compatible with 720P, 1080i, 480P, and 480i signals.

Slim Profile and a Clean, Contemporary Look
These TVs have an ultra-slim profile, tapering down to less than an inch thick, and just 1.65 inches at their thickest point.

They feature a stylish, modern aesthetic with full edge-to-edge cover glass, and can be tilted up to 25 degrees

Illuminated Touch Controls with Proximity Sensor
The VM190XVT features proximity sensitive touch controls that illuminate when your hand draws near, and fade away once you're done, adding further to the unit's sleek and buttonless design.

Ambient Lighting
Energy efficient sensors auto-adjust brightness for the perfect picture regardless of room conditions.

SRS Audio Technologies
SRS TruVolume evens out dynamics to limit volume inconsistencies between programming. SRS TruSurround HD delivers immersive virtual high-definition surround sound out of the unit's two speakers.

Green Technologies
VIZIO's Eco HD models exceed the current Energy Star guidelines by 56% below Energy Star 3.0, which saves you money on your utility bills while limiting the impact on our planet.

Thought was put into construction as well--the display's LED backlights do not utilize mercury, an environmentally harmful substance used in other backlights.

Digital Photo Viewing
The VM190XVT also lets you enjoy a slideshow of your family and friends (via USB Drive).

You pay $220 for a Tv (That is how much I paid at Costco) and you expect a space Shuttle. Who cares if it takes 3 seconds for the channel to change. If you are that busy and do not have 3 seconds, you shouldn't be watching Tv to begin with. Good Night and Good Luck.
Truly great TV but only 18.5" not 19" as advertised

I bought this TV because my 20" LG that I use in my home office was going out. I figured that if I was going to buy a new TV I might as well get the latest technology. I picked this one because of Vizio's reputation. When I hooked it up I was truly amazed at the picture quality. I own 4 HDTVs and have replace all of them at least once, so I have owned at different times 1 projection LCD, 1 Plasma, and 6 CCFL backlight LCD TVs. The picture on this TV is truly great. The standard definition channels look almost as good as the HD channels did on any other HD TV I have owned and the high definition looks so real one would think they were looking out a window. I remember how impressed I was with my first HD TV, well this TV made an equal impression on me over my prior HD TVs.

I only rated this TV 4 stars because of two facts. The first is mentioned in the title. That is the fact that it really only has a 18.5" screen. I figured stepping down from a 20" to a 19" would not be too big a sacrifice but stepping down to an 18.5" proved to be too much so I returned it and bought the 23" Vizio LED LCD HDTV instead. It is virtually identical to this one except for the larger screen, (in fact they use the same owner's manual), and the fact that it is 1080P where this one is 720P. The second annoyance with both models is the fact that the volume bar does not go away when the sound is muted. I remains until you un-mute the TV. This annoys me, but is livable considering everything else.

The biggest advantages to LED LCD over CCFL LCD are the power consumption, the expected life of the backlight, and the picture quality. This TV is advertised as only drawing 23W but my UPS tells me it only draws 18W. The weakest link to a CCFL LCD TV is the backlight. It is what goes first most of the time, but LEDs last virtually forever so I will have to see what the next weakest link will be that will cause me to have to replace this TV. I expect this TV to last for at least five years before needing replacement, but time will only tell.
great TV

after getting out of box, physical setup of that great picture I saw in the store a bit time consuming. You have to play around with the video settings to get everything looking great. Default picture wasnt too good compared to now..I fiddled around for about 20-30 minutes with contrast etc. Now set up great TV; it does come with remote, but not very reactive

1. Vizio on screen controls lower left, keep popping up, stay 15-30 seconds on
screen, then pop off screen for 1-5 seconds, then just keeps repeating.
This activity is inconsistant, seems to be triggered when using exit
button. Also, the exit button does not clear this control but it eventual
stops, only to return when turning TV back on.
2. all channels above 100 have extensions, ie 101-2311, 102-49,102-5011 etc.
does not recognize the cable designations and cannot have name assigned to

3. 3 second channel change exccesive
4. no ability to create favorites menu for quick access to channel
5. cannot enter channels above 99 on remote
6. this is first remote i've used that does not have a designated "menu" button.
Using "OK" to access menus is annoying and confusing. put Menu and Exit
buttons just under the OK cross, better for true one hand operation
7. I know the TV is a Vizio, i don't need the Vizio LOGO for 5 seconds at turn
on.
While the HD picture is perfect, having great video on a kitchen TV just
isn't worth the irritation factor This is a return, unless Vizio has a
firmware upgrade that is easily installed and that solves these problems
So close, but no cigar for Vizio...

Reviewer: JustaConsumer,
The Vizio VM190XVT is so close but no cigar. Amazing pictures at the price point FAR superior to the competition but Vizio fumbles the ball at the one yard line.

No STANDBY provision when used as a computer monitor. When computer goes to sleep the monitor shows a bright BLUE screen. Not energy conscious.

The power cord supplied with the Vizio VM190XVT has a BRICK to drop line current down to the low voltage this TV requires. Rather than place the brick in the middle of the power cord where it won't interfere it was placed on the end precluding it's use in many power strips, UPS units, and outlets.

No excuse for the power cord brick other than inadequate field testing prior to release and no standby mode is laughable when you claim to be GREEN.
