Vizio VW26L
$550.00
Released December, 2007
The Pros:Integrated TV tuner is surprisingly powerful - consistently discovers channels beyond service area and groups results for simple navigation. Initial setup is very simple - "plug-and-play"-style configuration requires little to no electronics knowledge. Picture quality is relatively good for the price point - ported HD content (720p) is vivid and clear.
The Cons:Lack of outputs can be frustrating for gamers - A/V connectivity must be run through a separate unit and signal-split from console configurations. May stretch/compress picture depending on channel and content type - screen optimization requires extensive settings adjustment. Built-in speakers provide thin, low-quality sound - external sound system is highly recommended.
The Vizio VW26L is a basic 26 inch LCD display that can handle high definition signals. It includes an integrated HD television tuner, cutting down on the number of extra boxes and cables you'll need to get it to work.
