WARNING >>> WARNING>>> WARNING!!!
If you're buying this to serve as a computer monitor, it is perhaps the best value out there for this screen size, especially if you do intensive graphics or Autocad. At the same time, and since it has a built-in Tuner, it can serve as an emergency TV set at the office, whether the office is inside or outside your residence.
If you are buying it to serve primarily as an HDTV, however, Stop right here and Read:
This is Not a 16X9 Screen; this is a 16 X 10.5 .... Read carefully: The Ratio of this screen is Not a 16 X 9 .... It is 16 X 10.5 ..... You will Not be able to obtain a true Wide Screen Image on this TV ! .... The tuner sends the signal processed for Wide Screen display Yet there is No Wide Screen to Display it as processed, the result is a vertically stretched image. This cannot be corrected by selecting a different display mode.
As a Computer Monitor, I will give it 4 Stars. .... As an HDTV, however, I can only give it no rating what so ever .... Zero Stars as a TV....!
This should be reclassified as a 1920 X 1200 Monitor .... But should never be classified as a 1080p Wide Screen HDTV because it is simply misleading.
Conclusion:
Buy it with total confidence as a 1920 X 1200 Monitor.
Do Not Buy it as a 1080p 16 X 9 Wide Screen HDTV .... It is Not.
 Viore TV November 6, 2009

We have cabinetry in our den that was designed for a built in, tube type, TV and have wanted a HD TV that fits the space. Viore was the largest screen possible with the width limit that we have. That was our single selection criteria.
We then found out that Amazon sells this particular set so we ordered it and everything that follows was a pleasant surprise.
FIRST bonus. We decided to let Amazon ship it without additional freight charges but it arrived the next day nonetheless.
SECOND bonus. The installation was almost automatic. Viore includes many diagrams and the instructions are simple and written by an person with an English native tongue (easy to understand).
THIRD bonus. We obtained the right cable box, turned on the set and immediately were impressed by the picture quality.
We have read other comments about the sound being a bit tinny - and it is a little hollow so I'm going to add a set of speakers to help that a bit. There are ample connections on the unit for adding items like this.
For the money (~$300) you cannot beat the deal. Very possibly, if you would go to a store and put this set next to others you'd see a difference in the picture quality. Perhaps. But I find it just fine with the kind of detail, color, clarity that you would expect.
We had never heard of Viore before this. That does make you a bit apprehensive. It's OK. They do a fine job.
 Graet choice for 2nd set November 3, 2009

I bought this TV to replace a 27" CRT set that gave up the ghost. Since I don't normally watch TV in this room I wasn't looking for the best TV. Pleasantly surprised when this set was hooked up to our satellite TV, the HD is actually better than my other (more expensive) set. Looks and sounds great in non-HD also but this set is really great at HD, my Sharks look incredible on here. When we have a conflict on what to watch I let the rest of the family win and I watch this one. Great price, good quality, and backed by Amazon, I am satisfied with this purchase.
 Great price? Because of one major flaw October 30, 2009

I did my comparison shopping, but not enough research on this one.
Before you consider this TV for the decent size and 2 HDMI inputs, you should be forewarned about one big flaw:
It has a 16:10 aspect ratio.
This means that although it supports full 1080p resolution, the image is ALWAYS vertically stretched, like a Paula Abdul music video. I noticed this and thought that I might be able to view content with letterboxing, but this is absolutely not the case. There are options on the TV to zoom (crop) the display, but regardless the stretching will remain.
If this kind of thing doesn't bother you - maybe you always stretch your standard definition content to fill a wide screen? - then your overall impression of this TV is sure to be better than mine. Personally, I wish I had returned it before my kids destroyed the packaging.
You can see what I mean by looking at the photos, it's not wide enough to be a 16:9 TV. Although, if there were truth in advertising, that woman's head would be stretched out.
For many, I'd suggest a slightly smaller TV for a similar price, or making the leap to a more expensive one. It is flat and light and the picture quality is decent. But it does have that one glaring drawback.

For a TV in the guest room that is rarely used, it's OK, but a Sony it's not!
