Bought this one on sale at Costco for $379.99. Very happy with it up to this point. Have my Mac mini, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii connected to it and it works great!

Great Site. Useful information on the 32″ LCD set. I’ve had a smaller Vizio for a couple of years and have loved it. I will check back often as I prepare to purchase our next television set.
Thanks,
Talia

Hi everyone! I’m glad to see Vizio taking steps to make more eco-friendly televisions. I recently purchased a VO370M (a 37 inch) thru Amazon.com and was really pleased with its quality and what little power it uses.
