Cleverreviews.com looks at Vizio’s latest winner the Vizio VL370M – Beyond The VL’s cool java colored frame there are a number of improvements Vizio has made on its 37″ LCD television. We were very impressed with the introduction of Smooth Motion II(TM) technology that creates an impressive HDTV viewing experience for a budget brand. This technology coupled with 1080p HD resolution makes this set an excellent choice for any viewing needs. We ran the Vizio VL370M through our regular series of tests: viewing standard definition programing, High definition programing, gaming, and as a CPU monitor. We could not find faults with this Vizio LCD’s clarity, scrolling, color, or other visual components.

We also liked that theVizio VL370M continues to feature Vizio’s Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratios of 50,000:1. This provides the set with very rich blacks and sharp contrasts normally associated with more expensive LCD sets. Vizio also utilized advanced audio technologies from SRS Labs which gives the Vizio VL370M a superlative and realistic digital audio clarity in a truly surround sound ambiance.
Like all recently introduced Vizio HDTVs, the VL370 comes equiped with multiple HDMI inputs system which greatly enhances its functionality by allowing maximum connectivity with digital cable and satellite set-top boxes, DVD/Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, and HD camcorders. The Vizio VL370 also comes equipped with an integrated digital/QAM television tuner so viewers can enjoy high definition and regular television programs with or without paid high definition service. We think the Vizio VL370M is an excellent choice for consumers!
