I am looking forward to seeing the Vizio VX240M being released this month. From what I have heard it should be a great small TV. Any word on other new Vizio sets that will be releasing this summer?

Purchased this model VX240M and it had a channel button stuck and we could not unstick it. Doesn’t Vizio quality check? Returned it.

Looking for a PC monitor and decided to give the VX240M a try. I also purchased a Hannspree ST251MAB and have them side by side as I write this. Both from Costco. If I could blend both I’d be very happy, each has it’s pros and cons. The Vizio is a better monitor with picture, the Hannspree is better audio. The Vizio will tilt that I like for PC work. The Hannspree has edge backlight bleed that is annoying but I like the extra inch. The Vizio looks more expensive. All in all I will most likely keep the Vizio.
