realized that after I posted... saw vizio and got excited didn't really look at the size..

totally agree at this size its a awesome TV

We bought this on last woot-off for son's game room tv to replace the tube tv. It has performed well with no issues. We have a 50" plasma in our family room, and i have to agree with others that at 32" 720p is hard to tell the difference. Especially when he uses PS3 and blueray movies, the quality is impossible to tell the difference. I would recommend based on our experience. Hope this helps those wondering if they should go for it.

I forgot about the ridiculous avatars. Using FireFox, equipped with AdBlocker Plus, block "avatar.woot.com" (had to peek at my settings to see what I'd done) and they'll be gone.

I have the 1080p version of this. Love it.

I have had a very similar model for nearly 2 years and it's pretty awesome (even at only 720p).

killerkittycat wrote:Not real enough. Give me 1080p-leeease

Dude, a 32 inch TV is small... whether it was 1080p or 720 you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I have a TV larger than this one and when I switch from 1080p to 720 there is no way you or anyone could tell which setting it was on unless you were planting your face up against the screen.

Scientists have determined that the sole determining factor in whether or not you can tell the difference between 720p and 1080p is which kind of TV you bought.

Those who buy 720p will tell you there's no difference, and those who buy 1080p will tell you that there is.


It's really that simple.

BTW, 1080p looks better no matter what the chart says.

Loving the Cameron slam! Style over substance, and it still makes him millions.....

Gah, why am I just now finding out about the wootoff. I actually have work to do today.

Apparently none were *quality*

jamina1 wrote:At that size, it really doesn't matter...

no. it doesn't.

$250 for a 32" TV is a pretty good deal. use these in a guest room, or your office.

I'd like this but I'm always leery about refurbs. Are these returned because of problems by a previous owner?

True, but this work will be what lets me graduate highschool so it is a smidgen important.

How has the wootoff so far?

Unfortunately, the explanation of Quality Posts is not entirely true either...I have had at least 2 instances where my post showed up on the main item page, and never ended up adding to my Guide Entry count. It's like points on the TV show "Whose line..." They don't matter, but you feel obligated to try to have more....

all 92 that are listed on ebay for 199 or less *NEW and not Refurb.. with shipping making it the same price as woot.. New over refurb...

Most TVs are designed to be seen at a distance of greater than 3 feet, so if you have it mounted on the wall and your desk is a little ways back it'll be fine. That saidm do you REALLY need 32 inches for a computer moniter? I'd go for a 1080p moniter that's a bit smaller.

I can tell the difference....

Text is much easier to read on my 1080 TV.

Also I actually do sit about 4 feet or so from my TV when I'm watching a bluray or surfin the nets so....

Maybe if you were watching a 32" from 15 feet away or something you couldn't tell.

Not everyone does that though. Its pretty minimal, just sayin... I can tell.

This is my first Woot buy! I bought one of these new and it has been perfect. At this size resolution is all but irrelevant. Great bedroom TV for $250!

Vizio is not a bad TV. I have a 26" in my son's bedroom and it has internet apps. Love it. I wish Woot would put up a Vizio with internat apps., I'd be in at the right price.

Meh

High School isn't that important.

I have two similar Vizio televisions and they've been excellent. My only suggestion when you buy one would be to turn off the features that automatically adjust the backlighting and audio based on room conditions - they are wonky and never worked right for me.

every TV I own was refurb. my 42" i've had for 4 years (philips) and my 32" i've had for 2 years (philips bought on woot).

no problems with either.

Without getting overly technical of the hows and whys, often a 720P TV will actually be CLEARER than 1080P because again, marketing hype has consumers convinced that it is always better. Upconversion is one that always comes to mind. Upconverted video often is pixelated compared to the non-upconverted. There are other artifacts as well. NOTHING is broadcast in 1080P. It is all 1080i and will be that way for many, many years to come.

For 32", 720p is more than enough.

You save a couple dollars and get it from a seller you trust.

I love my 30 inch monitor. Pooh to all the nay-sayers. But is does make it hard to work on anything smaller. When I have to go to someone else's workstation, I feel cramped.

buscheag wrote:$239 + $18 > $249 + $5

But does Amazon Marketplace have some sort of a return policy? That may be worth the difference.

you cannot see the difference on a 32" TV between 720 and 1080

Speaking of Math class....239+18 = 257 DOH!

AND 249.99 + 5 = 254.99 DOUBLE DOH!

My husband has this exact TV and loves it, paid almost double this too. I wanT!
