Razor LED
VIZIO is the first to bring LED technology to smaller-sized LCD HDTVs. This mercury-free, energy-efficient, razor-thin HDTV achieves a 20,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio, giving you deeper blacks and brighter whites.

1080P Full HD
Full 1080P High Definition resolution gives you over 2 million pixels, making the clarity and detail of your picture razor sharp.

Slim Profile and a Clean, Contemporary Look
These TVs have an ultra-slim profile, tapering down to less than an inch thick, and just 1.65 inches at their thickest point.

They feature a stylish, modern aesthetic with full edge-to-edge cover glass, and can be tilted up to 25 degrees

Illuminated Touch Controls with Proximity Sensor
The VM230XVT features proximity sensitive touch controls that illuminate when your hand draws near, and fade away once you're done, adding further to the unit's sleek and buttonless design.

Ambient Lighting
Energy efficient sensors auto-adjust brightness for the perfect picture regardless of room conditions.

SRS Audio Technologies
SRS TruVolume evens out dynamics to limit volume inconsistencies between programming. SRS TruSurround HD delivers immersive virtual high-definition surround sound out of the unit's two speakers.

Green Technologies
VIZIO's Eco HD models exceed the current Energy Star guidelines by 56% below Energy Star 3.0, which saves you money on your utility bills while limiting the impact on our planet.

Thought was put into construction as well--the display's LED backlights do not utilize mercury, an environmentally harmful substance used in other backlights.

The VM230XVT also lets you enjoy a slideshow of your family and friends (via USB Drive).

Truly great TV
 
Review Date: December 31, 2009
Reviewer: FredB, Elverta, California (Sacramento County)
I bought this TV because my 20" LG that I use in my home office was going out. I figured that if I was going to buy a new TV I might as well get the latest technology. I picked this one because of Vizio's reputation. When I hooked it up I was truly amazed at the picture quality. I own 4 HDTVs and have replace all of them at least once, so I have owned at different times 1 projection LCD, 1 Plasma, and 6 CCFL backlight LCD TVs. The picture on this TV is truly great. The standard definition channels look almost as good as the HD channels did on any other HD TV I have owned and the high definition looks so real one would think they were looking out a window. I remember how impressed I was with my first HD TV, well this TV made an equal impression on me over my prior HD TVs.

The only annoyance is the fact that the volume bar does not go away when the sound is muted. I remains until you un-mute the TV. This annoys me, but is livable considering everything else.

The biggest advantages to LED LCD over CCFL LCD are the power consumption, the expected life of the backlight, and the picture quality. This TV is advertised as only drawing 30W but my UPS tells me it only draws 26W. The weakest link to a CCFL LCD TV is the backlight. It is what goes first most of the time, but LEDs last virtually forever so I will have to see what the next weakest link will be that will cause me to have to replace this TV. I expect this TV to last for at least five years before needing replacement, but time will only tell.
Great TV!

I purchased this TV because my previous monitor went to monitor heaven after 2 years of abuse. But this TV is absolutely AMAZING! It's amazingly thin, it has GREAT picture quality, the glare is a bit of an issue but I've noticed that you have to enable the "auto brightness adjusting" feature and it will automatically comensate for the extra lighting by increasing the brightness, another flaw that I've noticed is that, sence I'm using this as my computer monitor, that whenever I get close to the bottom left corner the menu pops up, so everytime I try to press esc on my keyboard the menu pops up and I have to wait till it goes away to see my start menu. The SRS HD Surround is on by default, if you're only doing stereo it sounds like crap untill you disable it, also the SRS TruVolume is DISABLED by default, this should be enabled because it does make it sound alot better, and it removes that "tinny" sound. The remote does have a very narrow window and has to be pointed almost directly at the sensor for it to pick up. And I have not experienced the "long" start up times with the Vizio splash screen. Overall I would rate this TV very highly, it's a great buy great for small rooms and the edge to edge glass is a very nice asthetic feature, this TV is BEAUTIFUL and the display is BEAUTIFUL as well... I hope this encourages you to buy this! You won't regret it!
Great TV...Don't Hesitate

Reviewer: Danielle, New York
I just bought the Vizio Razor LED 23 inch HDTV for my bedroom after a bit of back and forth from reading all the reviews...I have to say that I am extremely glad I went with this product...To address the sound issues some people have had...I think the reason some people are having these issues is because the tv is not made for a big family room experience in my opinion. This is perfect for a bedroom, exercise room, kitchen etc...I use this in the bedroom and am approx. 10-12 feet away...I have no issues with the sound being "tinny." I think it sounds absolutely fine..Another quick note on the sound..I read a review on amazon where the writer said his sound was faulty and to make sure you get the TV from the lot produced February 2010, instead of the one he received which was manufactured November 2009...That was the first thing I checked when I took the vizio out of the box, and to my disappointment my manufactured date was 11/09..I was worried, but like I said before, I have absolutely no issues whatsoever...So in my opinion, that reader just had a bad product..All these electronics are massed produced, there is going to be a few bad seeds..

I am using Verizon Fios service with this TV and the HD pictures are seemless...They should not even have regular channels anymore..HD is the way to go and the picture looks outstanding on this television..Hung the TV and hooked up the set top box and watched the Cavaliers game on it last night and it was as crisp as hell...Just a quick note for anyone interested if they have Verizon Fios..When setting up your remote provided by verizon to control the vizio functions, the code is 1292..This will allow you to control Power, volume up and down, and mute. I'm using the HDMI cable provided to me from verizon as well..Picture is outstanding..

The capacitive touch buttons on the TV are cool..Capacitive buttons are basically buttons that sense your touch instead of having a traditional physical hard push button..The power button on the tv stays lit up on the bottom left corner, you simply run your finger over the light and the tv turns on...Same goes for all menu options on the tv as well..This basically gives the tv an extremely clean and polished look..

The TV has 2 HDMI ports on the back which is nice..HDMI cable is nice because audio is transferred through this cable as well as the HD picture of course, eliminating an extra set of audio cables...There is only the power cable and HDMI cable running from the back of the TV...

I used the the level mount ($20.00) recommended from amazon to hang the television and was happy with it...I fit the 23 inch vizio perfect without having to use any modifying pieces supplied with the mount...

In conclusion, 2 days after starting this TV up I am extremely happy with the picture quality, sound is absolutely fine, and overall feel and design of the tv is great....And most important the price!!! [...] bucks! how can you beat that? If your throwing this purchase back and forth, don't delay, buy one...You'll be pleased and impressed..
great bang for the buck television

great picture and sound quality as well as being very thin and lightweight making it very portable all at a reasonable price from a reputable television manufacture. and thanks to it being
led backlit rather than ccfl backlit, that's what allows it to be thinner, more lightweight, longer lasting, more portable and delivering superior images all in a full 1080p resolution.
my only complaint is that the remote control in not backlit so other than that this product is a perfect 10.
great little tv

We are very imprssed with the Vizio tv we purchased. To date we have had no problems with it. There is no problem with the sound at all. I would recommend it for anyone who is looking for a small tv. We have ours in the kitchen, it is perfect. Hoping we have no problems with it.
