Vizio VX37L　37-inch LCD

The Vizio VX37L is an inexpensive 37-inch LCD with good connectivity and colour decoding. It is the successor of Vizio’s last 37-inch LCD set, the L37 HDTV, but not much has changed. The VX37L HDTV measures 36.2 x 26 x 10.4 inches (WHD) atop the stand, and the panel itself is 4.3 inches deep.

The Vizio VX37L HDTV comes well-equipped for an inexpensive HDTV. First of all, the Vizio VX37L HDTV sports a coat of kitchen-friendly white, but it’s visible only from the back and sides. The company also rounded off the corners of the compact panel, so overall, the set appears a bit less masculine than many other flat-panels, although it’s still pretty high-tech looking. The matching silver stand has a strip of chrome along its front edge, and the only other accent is the illuminated Vizio logo that dims slightly when the TV’s on but can’t be disabled completely.

The set’s pixel array is standard fare, at 1,366×768 native resolution, allowing it to resolve all of the detail of 720p sources. As always, all sources are scaled to fit the pixels.

The back panel of the Vizio VX37L HDTV sprouts an excellent selection of inputs, including a second HDMI input, which is still uncommon among less-expensive midsize HDTVs. There’s also a pair of component-video inputs, a PC-style VGA input (1,366×768 recommended resolution), and an A/V input with both composite and S-Video. Audio signals issue forth courtesy of a digital audio output as well as a standard analog stereo connection. The side panel of the set sports an additional A/V input with S-Video.

Its black level performance was fine for a midsize LCD TV although by no means exceptional, and while its preset color-temperature modes could have been more accurate, the ability to adjust the color-temperature setting in the menu helped a lot. Users might find that tweaking the settings for this TV enables its color reproduction to perform just fine and relatively accurate.

Skin tones looked good, and other colors had as much vibrancy as we’d expect from an LCD, all thanks to the VX37L HDTV’s solid color decoding. Primary colors was also close to ideal, although green did appear somewhat on the yellowish side.

Overall, the Vizio VX37L HDTV is another decent performer, with no major problems. It is a good recommendation for a budget HDTV.
