I bought this Vizio because I needed a decent sized tv that was relatively cheap but would also fit into a dorm room. The picture quality is excellent and the difference between this tv's 720p and other 1080p is negligible. At first colors looked a little washed out on my 360 but after fiddling with the tv/xbox settings it now looks superb. The size of the tv is also nice...it is lightweight and is super slim. The only thing that could be improved on is the speakers which imo are still a lot better than most tv's in this price range/size. It sounds a little hollow and could use more bass but overall it isn't too bad (it helps to turn off srs surround and switch to rock equalizer).

Volume also isn't too big of an issue with this tv like on other tv's since this has front facing speakers as opposed to rear speakers. There is also very little lag or ghosting at 8ms and 60ghz refresh rates. Highly recommended if you are looking for a tv that is cost efficient and has good picture quality.

VIZIO's M260VA 26" Razor LED LCD HDTV features full 720p high-definition resolution with Razor LED backlighting for brilliant clarity in a razor thin design less than 2.3" thin (max depth 5.86" with stand). Includes SRS TruVolume and SRS TruSurround HD audio for advanced virtual surround sound, and exceeds Energy StarTM 4.0 guidelines to reduce energy consumption.

With only a 0.86" thin profile and a maximum depth 2.37", the VIZIO M260VA RazorLED 26-inch LCD HDTV offers crystal clear images, brilliant color, rich detail and deep contrast - all in a sleek razor thin design with black and white bezel color options.

Enjoy ultimate connectivity with two HDMI inputs and when you're not watching TV, the M260VA can be used as a digital picture frame to enjoy a slideshow with your family and friends.

Purchasing an HDTV is a tricky proposition. To avoid ending up with a dud, read these tips before you buy.

Buying an HDTV can be a daunting task. Unlike a smartphone, which typically sells for a few hundred dollars, an HDTV is a major investment that could last you for several years. For that reason, many consumers spend a lot amount of time poring over reviews, measuring sets to ensure that they'll fit the available wall space, and trying to find the best television in their price range.But other, more-technical questions are also relevant.

Should you opt for a 720p set? Do you really need 3D? Is the picture quality that a set has at your local Best Buy a good indicator of its picture quality in your living room? For help in answering these questions, read on.

720p or 1080p?
You've probably heard people talking about 720p and 1080p quite a bit. But what do those terms mean?

The p at the end of 720p and 1080p stands for progressive. The numbers before the p indicate that the HDTV draws either 720 lines or 1080 lines of vertical resolution across its screen to create the picture. When progressive programming is sent to a television, the set displays the lines of resolution in sequential order. That helps deliver a nice, clean image. Vendors label televisions as 720p or 1080p to tell customers the maximum resolution that the particular set can output.

At times, you may see an i instead of a p after 720 or 1080. That i stands for interlaced. When you watch content in 1080i, the set draws the picture with 1080 lines of resolution. But the TV displays the odd-numbered lines before the even-numbered ones, resulting in some visual-quality quirks (especially when you're watching sports or fast-moving action sequences in movies) that make 1080p a more desirable resolution.

In cable and satellite broadcasts, programming is available in 720p or 1080i. DVDs are recorded at 480p resolution, and Blu-ray movies at 1080p resolution.
Will you be using your set exclusively to watch cable or satellite programming, or are you likely to watch movies, too? If movie watching is in your plans, do you intend to buy Blu-ray movies in the future or stick with DVDs? Figuring all of that out should help you decide whether to opt for a 1080p set or a 720p set.

But resolution isn't the only factor to consider in making that decision.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to find 720p sets on store shelves. The costs associated with producing 1080p televisions have dropped; and with Blu-ray adoption on the rise, vendors recognize that offering a maximum resolution of 720p might not satisfy most customers.
For the most part, a 720p set is suitable only for buyers who are on a budget or who don't plan to watch Blu-ray films. For everyone else, since buying an HDTV is a long-term proposition, a 1080p television provides the best future-proofing.

Want to see the difference for yourself? We took screen captures of the same scene in both 720p and 1080p on a PC to show the difference in resolution. Open these two images yourself and compare them. When you zoom in, you'll see that the 1080p image looks much crisper and more detailed--and the difference gets magnified when you look at images displayed on a large TV screen instead of a smaller PC monitor.

Don't Believe In-Store Picture Quality
One of the biggest mistakes consumers make when buying an HDTV is to think that the set's picture will look just as good at home as it does at the store. This error often leads to extreme disappointment.

Most retailers display televisions with picture-quality settings that are ideal for viewing under the fluorescent lighting of a typical in-store environment. Also, all of the pastel colors you see are adjusted to capitalize on the notion that the more vibrant the picture is, the better the television is.

In fact, a properly calibrated HDTV might look rather dark at first glance. But what you lose in vividness, you get back in detail and in energy-cost savings.

Does that mean you should opt for the dullest-looking set in the store? Not a chance. But there are some things you can do at the store to improve your ability to evaluate the available sets accurately.

First, make sure that the HDTVs you're interested in are displaying an HD video source and that they're using an HDMI cable to pump that content to the television. If one set shows standard-definition content while another displays HD programming, you won't be able to compare the televisions fairly.
Next, ask the salesperson whether you can change the picture settings on the TV. Changing its video settings so you can see what it might look like at home can help you avoid getting the wrong idea about a showroom-optimized set.

You might also want to bring your own Blu-ray film with you to test out the HDTVs' picture quality. If you bring a movie into the store with you, make sure it's a film you know well. If you've seen it often enough, you'll know what particular scenes should look like, and that information should go a long way toward helping you make the right buying decision.

Does a Lower Price Mean Poorer Quality?
Generally, if one device costs less than another, the cheaper device is of lesser quality in some way--so you get what you pay for. But some instances, the television industry bucks that trend.

Let's say that you've decided to buy a 46-inch television--and of course you want the best-quality television you can get for the amount you're willing to spend. You see one high-priced LCD that comes with many of the features you're looking for, but you also see a lower-priced set that has the same features. Should you be scared away by the cheaper set because of its price tag?

Not necessarily.

Vizio, for example, is a budget-conscious television maker. Though its sets may cost hundreds of dollars less than comparable TVs from its chief competitors (like Samsung), they hold up quite well against those rivals in feature selection and image quality.

But before you commit to Vizio, you need to be aware that not all models the company makes are equally good bargains. Models from the company's XVT series of HDTVs consistently perform well in our reviews. They offer most, if not all, of the extras included with other sets of their class, plus a competitive level of picture quality. But the XVT models are more expensive than many of the other sets Vizio sells. The cheaper models, such as the M-series and the E-series, come with fewer features and lower picture quality, though they do sell for a much lower price, as well.

This pattern is the same for every TV vendor. Whether you choose a Panasonic plasma or an LG LCD, you'll have several models to choose from that extend across a wide range of prices and quality levels. And in some cases, Vizio's pricing may not match that of other vendors--especially at the low end.

Don't be scared away by low prices. Even inexpensive models deliver a level of quality that was available only from top-of-the-line sets a few years ago. As long as you know what you want from your new television, and you have a clear idea of what you're willing to spend, and you're aware of the better sets in any company's product line, saving a few bucks on a cheaper set is never a bad idea.

Go 3D
Over the next few years, you'll be hard-pressed to find televisions on store shelves that lack a 3D capability. That's because the cost of adding 3D to sets is minimal. And as more content providers offer 3D, consumers will naturally want a TV that can access it.

So, should you get 3D in your next HDTV? It's tough to say. If you're on a budget, you can save hundreds of dollars by sticking with 2D.

For example, the 2D, 40-inch Samsung UN40D6000 sells for $1099, while the 3D-capable Samsung UN40D6400 costs $1299. Aside from the 3D feature, both sets are extremely similar, so you'll pay $200 extra for the 3D viewing mode.

Some hidden costs go along with 3D viewing. One is the price a 3D Blu-ray player (or PlayStation 3), if you want to watch content that isn't readily available from your cable or satellite provider. In an all-Samsung setup, you'll pay $180 for the cheapest 3D Blu-ray player the company offers. You'll also need 3D glasses--and Samsung's eyewear runs $200 per pair. So after buying the 3D set, the accessories will set you back another $500 or so.

If the set you have your eye on comes with 3D, don't let the third dimension scare you away. When you're not watching 3D programming, you get the same 2D experience you're used to--3D capability has no impact on 2D picture quality.

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source. Introduced as a practical electronic component in 1962, early LEDs emitted low-intensity red light, but modern versions are available across the visible, ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths.

When a light-emitting diode is forward biased (switched on), electrons are able to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy gap of the semiconductor.

A LED TV is an LCD TV that uses LED backlighting rather than the cold cathode fluorescent lights used in traditional LCD televisions.

The use of LED backlighting has a dramatic impact, resulting in a thinner panel, less power consumption, and a brighter display with better contrast levels. It also generates less heat than an ordinary LCD TV.

This backlight does not change the quality in the image of the monitors or televisions because the panel technology is the same.

The LEDs can come in three forms: dynamic RGB LEDs which are positioned behind the panel, white Edge-LEDs positioned around the rim of the screen which use a special diffusion panel to spread the light evenly behind the screen (the most common) and full-array which are arranged behind the screen but they are incapable of dimming or brightening individually.

Practically, LED TVs differ from conventional LCD TVs because they produce images with greater dynamic contrast. With Edge-LED lighting LED TVs can be extremely slim. Models on the market can be approximately one inch thick, offer a wider color gamut, especially when RGB-LED backlighting is used and generally 20-30% lower power consumption.

3D movies are motion pictures that use special technology to upgrade the audience's illusion of depth. Modern cameras and hardware are used to shoot the images and then stereoscopic tools and eye glasses are used to provide watchers with the illusion of depth. The most important of the 3D movie watching experience is the eye gear that must be worn in order to do so.

The stereoscopic movie era began in the early 1890s. A man named William Greene, around that time, developed a process of making movies that involved three dimensions and then filed a patent. His technique involved using stereoscopes to view two images being played side by side as one. Greene's method, though groundbreaking for its time, wasn't practical enough for use in theaters.

The very first 3D film that was played to a paying audience was The Power Of Love. It premiered in 1922 to a packed Los Angeles Ambassador's Hotel. The movie consisted of dual red and green strips and, to view it, the audience members were given anaglyph glasses. Despite receiving rave reviews, the film was lost after a brief exhibition in New York.

Small jumps in three dimensional technology were accomplished slowly over the next few years but by the early 1930s, interest in the format had dipped. The Great Depression had swept through the country and left behind a nation filled with people who were understandably uninterested in the film industry in its wake.

In 1936, a series of 3D reels called Audioscopiks was commissioned by MGM. Collectively, the movies were considered a success and they were nominated for one Academy Award that year in the novelty short subject category.

Starting in 1952, Hollywood experienced a sort of golden era when it come to 3D films. Every single major production company released a number of three dimensional movies during this period. In fact, so many films were released that the general public began to tire of the format. By the mid fifties, the decline in interest and high costs of shooting 3D movies had caused most production companies to abandon the format altogether.

In the seventies Space-Vision 3D, a brand new method emerged and helped usher in a much needed revival for the format. The technological advances allowed three dimensional films to be played and shot in ways that didn't hurt the eyes of the audience when it was watched. When Stereovision used the technology to make their profitable and popular film, The Stewardess, others began following suit
once again.

Starting in the middle 2000s, the advancements used to make these movies has been steadily improving. The three dimensional eyeglasses used to view the movies are no longer the weak paper pieces that they used to be. Most films today need polarized eye wear to watch them. The items closely resemble normal sunglasses each in their sturdy frame and lenses. The items offer a more realistic watching experience and are the standard for most three dimensional films and theme park attractions.
