CNET Review
The Good: Relatively inexpensive; includes HDTV tuner; accurate colors; can reproduce deep blacks for an LCD; HDMI and PC inputs; adjustable backlight.
The Bad: Some false contouring; below-average standard-definition performance and off-angle viewing; no rear S-Video input.
The Bottom Line: The Vizio L37HDTV maintains a deft balance between ultralow pricing and surprisingly good picture quality.
