Up for Review: Vizio VO370M – Cleverreviews.com has been focusing on the latest generation of Vizio LCD television sets this week and we are excited to share our findings about the newly released VO370M. This brand new Vizio is the newest 37-inch flat panel HDTV to hit the market. It offers the latest and greatest technology in are medium sized 37″ class design. The Vizio VO370M boasts brilliant specifications including 1920 x 1080 resolution, integrated HDTV and standard definition TV tuner, and provides top quality 1080p definition! When it comes to true high definition, the Vizio VO370M offers the best picture quality you can get today. The VIZIO VO370M offers the best performance in a 37″ display and at a price that will certainly impress.

Vizio VO370M

We found the Vizio VO370M is almost identical to Vizio’s very popular VO37LF except that the VO370M does not come with Picture in Picture technology. However, the VO370M does have a faster (and therefore better) refresh rate and is a bit less expensive to purchase, own and operate that its older sibling. These cost savings are a result of Vizio’s commitment to increase energy efficiency in its LCD screens by 15% over current EnergyStar ratings. We believe Vizio is taking steps in the right direction when it comes to energy conservation with its release of this set.

The versatile VIZIO VO370M comes equipped with a wide variety of input interfaces that makes it a true media center. We counted three HDMI ports for high definition satellite or cable box and HD video game components, a component connection for Blu-Ray or Standard DVD players and a RGB input for computer.

With it’s 178 degree viewing angle the VO370M is a leading contender for the best valued mid-sized LCD on the market today.
