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 VM230XVT 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.

The VM230XVT also lets you enjoy a slideshow of your family and friends (via USB Drive).

Truly great TV

Review Date: December 31, 2009

Reviewer: FredB, Elverta, California (Sacramento County)

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.

The only annoyance 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 30W but my UPS tells me it only draws 26W. 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 in Kuwait

Review Date: February 13, 2010

Reviewer: Allan S. Jackman, Kuwait

I purchased this TV through one of Amazon's vendor (Target), since Amazon would not ship to an APO address. The package arrived quickly and contained in another box. There were zero damages to the either of the boxes.

After assembling the stand and adjusting the settings, I connected the PS3 and played Assassins Creed 2...WOW! The picture is amazing, which makes gameplay much more enjoyable. I have read that many people complain about the lack of sound. I have a small room to myself, and I keep this about 30% volume, which provides plenty of sound. Maybe those that complain about the lack of sound are trying to make a 23" TV their main living room TV, which is not recommended. My room is about 10' x 20' and I sit about 4' away.

This TV also accommodates dual volts, 110v & 220v, which is needed in foreign countries.

The only downsize to this TV is that it does not have a dual TV format. The US uses NTSC cable format while the rest of the world uses PAL. This TV is set up for NTSC, thus I cannot watch cable TV in Kuwait. But I knew this prior to my purchase.

Yes the remote is small, but I don't care. It works and allows me to access all functions for the TV.

As stated above, for a bedroom, this TV will be nice in the US, providing excellent picture quality and plenty of sound.

Great TV!

Reviewer: Fabian Franco, Lawndale, Ca USA

I purchased this TV because my previous monitor went to monitor heaven after 2 years of abuse. But this TV is absolutely AMAZING! It's amazingly thin, it has GREAT picture quality, the glare is a bit of an issue but I've noticed that you have to enable the "auto brightness adjusting" feature and it will automatically comensate for the extra lighting by increasing the brightness, another flaw that I've noticed is that, sence I'm using this as my computer monitor, that whenever I get close to the bottom left corner the menu pops up, so everytime I try to press esc on my keyboard the menu pops up and I have to wait till it goes away to see my start menu. The SRS HD Surround is on by default, if you're only doing stereo it sounds like crap untill you disable it, also the SRS TruVolume is DISABLED by default, this should be enabled because it does make it sound alot better, and it removes that "tinny" sound. The remote does have a very narrow window and has to be pointed almost directly at the sensor for it to pick up. And I have not experienced the "long" start up times with the Vizio splash screen. Overall I would rate this TV very highly, it's a great buy great for small rooms and the edge to edge glass is a very nice asthetic feature, this TV is BEAUTIFUL and the display is BEAUTIFUL as well... I hope this encourages you to buy this! You won't regret it!

great bang for the buck television

Review Date: January 29, 2010

Reviewer: Danny T. Uyeno, los angeles, ca.

great picture and sound quality as well as being very thin and lightweight making it very portable all at a reasonable price from a reputable television manufacture. and thanks to it being
led backlit rather than ccfl backlit, that's what allows it to be thinner, more lightweight, longer lasting, more portable and delivering superior images all in a full 1080p resolution.
my only complaint is that the remote control in not backlit so other than that this product is a perfect 10.

great TV

Reviewer: Susan Baldy, Lake Worth, TV

Have this TV for a month now and the picture quality is great. I wish I could adjust the sound a little bit better due to the location it is in. I can never get it just right - either too loud or too soft. Otherwise, I think this TV is excellent.
