Viore LC32VF55 Like others, I purchased this Viore HDTV over the Black Friday weekend sale. It was on sale for $388. After a few days, I was contacted by a PFS (Pilot Freight Services) to schedule a delivery day for the TV. Originally, it was suppose to arrive on a Saturday. Then they call to notify me Saturday evening that they had forgotten about my TV and it was left on the dock. I was disappointed, but I do understand that mistakes happen. So I had to reschedule the delivery for another day. They told me that they deliver 7 days a week and the delivery window is from 10am to 2pm.
As for the Viore HDTV itself, I give it a 3 Star rating. The back of the Viore sticks out further than I originally thought. Measuring it from the side, it’s almost 5 inches. It still can’t be compared to a DLP of course. For $388, it’s not bad and it’s 1080p! It’s still an upgrade for my bedroom and it replaces my 27″ Westinghouse that had no HDMI inputs and it was only 720p. This Viore has 3 HDMI inputs and that’s good enough for me. So I decided to hook up my Xbox 360 and PS3 to the HDMI inputs. I adjusted the colors and settings on the Viore and everything turned out great when running a game or Blu-ray movie. I don’t see a Backlight option in the settings, so that was a bit of a letdown. I would like to add that the Xbox 360 needs to complete the “handshake” on the HDMI. When my Xbox 360 was on, I decided to switch it from HDMI to TV. As soon as I switched it back to HDMI, my 360 restarted. This however did not happen with my PS3. So just to warn you gamers out there, I don’t want anyone to lose their progress when switching to another source.
Please keep in mind that this HDTV does have a built-in ATSC tuner. So if you have basic cable through Comcast and you use a DTA (Digital Transport Adapter) box, having a built-in tuner no longer requires a DTA box. You will not only get more channels, but you will now be able to view some HD channels as well. So far I’ve noticed a slight “lag” when switching from channel to channel. At times, everything would freeze for a good couple seconds and I won’t be able to access anything on the remote, not even the volume controls. It gets annoying when you’re trying to see what’s on.
To recap, this Viore doesn’t have all the bells and whistles, but it’ll get the job done. Whether you plan to use it just to watch cable TV, play games, or even watch Blu-rays. You can’t expect too much for $400. I’m not sure about the longevity of this TV, but I hope it’ll at least last 5 years. If anyone is looking for a decent 32″ 1080p HDTV, this is it. It’s hard to find a similar HDTV for the same price. Hope this review has helped. 
12/31/09 Update: With a few more tweaking of the picture settings, I do notice a slight difference between this 32″ 1080p Viore compared to my old 27″ 720p Westinghouse. It’s about noticing the small details. I’m a huge football fan, so I watch it on HD and I play Madden on my Xbox 360. The grass on the field really pops up and so does the detail on the players’ jerseys. Overall, it’s hard to make out any differences between HDTVs with the naked eye. I also want to add that I always bump up the Contrast.
As for the lag issue that I’m having while switching channels, I noticed that it’s easier to check your favorite channels on the settings and just switch the channels from there. You have to do a little more, but at least there’s no lag or freezing issues.
