Introduction
The Vizio M320VT ($539 MSRP) is a 1080p LED-edgelit LCD that’s a good value. It impressed us with solid performance in several areas and includes a universal remote. Too bad its terrible menu system and supporting documentation brought it dangerously close to destruction. At our hands. And expense. And promise of relief.
Editorial Note: This is a review of the VIZIO M320VT. Test results are for this model, but should indicate the general performance of other sizes in the Mxx0VT series. The Mxx0VT series includes the following models: M320VT, M370VT, M420VT and M470VT. Read here for more details on series differences.
