Vizio VX20L Review – 20-inch LCD HDTV
Originally Reviewed on April 1st, 2008The VIZIO VX20L LCD HDTV is one of the smallest high-definition television you can get, and this makes it perfect for use in hard-to-fit places, such as dorm rooms, kitchens, kids rooms, and spare bedrooms. It has excellent quality for a 20″ screen, and comes in with a retail tag of $399. This makes it a great buy for students or people who want to add another television to their homes, and don’t want to stress the pocketbook.

The VX20L has an 8 ms response time, with a contrast ratio of 700:1. This results in sharp, crisp pictures without any noticeable ghosting effects. Colors remained vibrant throughout. The set also held its own when connected to gaming consoles, including the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. The 160° horizontal is pretty decent for a television of this size, considering it’s best use is as a single display – not many people will be using it for family viewing on a home theater. And while the earlier batches of this television had support for picture-in-picture, the latest models don’t, which comes as a slight disappointment. But that shouldn’t take much away from all the other great features of this set. The VIZIO VX20L truly is a quality buy at a great price.
HDTVUniverse.com gives the Vizio VX20L LCD HDTV 9/10 stars!
