Customer Review

I love this TV so far. The picture is incredible. I use the TV in my bedroom to watch movies and television shows at night so I appreciate the dark blacks that Sharp is so good at. Some people complain about disk load time for the blu-ray player, but I see no substantial issues with its load time.

The construction seems very solid. The base is made of a solid metal so it doesn’t seem easily breakable like the other TV I have with the base made out of plastic. The TV swivels too…pretty cool feature.

The built-in blu-ray was big for my wife for aesthetic reasons. Since it just sits atop the dresser, it would have been difficult to put a DVD player anywhere else, so this TV does the job well for that. No complaints here. I was a little worried about how “blue” that streak was at the bottom of the TV. It isn’t bad at all…hardly noticeable. All you can see is a small blue shimmer. The pictures on this website make it look like its painted blue…looks much sleeker in real life.

There are plenty of inputs for anything you want to hook up to this bad-boy. There are also a good amount of options for customization. I love one feature of your “favorite channels.” It has 4 buttons, but also has 4 toggles for each of those buttons, so you can have a total of 16 favs. It’s also easy to toggle between picture brightness and picture aspect with just a click of the button.

I definitely recommend.

EDIT: I was wrong…the blu ray player takes foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever to load! It doesn’t take as long for regular DVDs but BluRays take about 5 minutes! There NEEDS to be an update for this.

Impressed with this one from Sharp - Richard L. Glass II -
I have not had it long, but I will say that once you adjust the picture/calibrate this lcd combo, you will see that it really does a good job. There are better displays…but you will pay more for them. Very good tv for the price. The blu-ray player is built-in and processes data better than a standalone that I tried which has the HVQ chip. If you can get the price down, then take it.

Customer Review

I didn’t buy at Amazon.com; I bought at a local electronics retailer. After taxes and California environmental fee, I saved about .

The Viore LCD32VXF60BD LCD TV/Blu-ray combo came in a nice box with a little plastic handle. I lifted it by myself without much trouble.

The box was in excellent condition. When I opened it, the TV inside was in perfect condition, held steady and protected by foam. It comes with a piece of plastic taped over the screen and a little bag containing the remote control with 2 AAA batteries and two separate instruction manuals (one in English, one in Spanish). It also comes with a power cord.

Once I got the TV out, I noticed right away that it is a nice-looking TV. It felt solid. Still, it was clearly a budget TV, in its general look.

The bottom of the bezel (frame) of the TV is a little wider than expected, cutting into the viewing area. I actually measured the viewing area and it is about 31 inches on the diagonal.

I programmed the TV to use cable. It found both analog and Clear QAM channels. I noticed that the on-screen menus are “budget style”: standard little fonts and square boxes that appear on the screen without whizzy animations and without any gee-whiz selection process. That’s all acceptable to me but I just wanted to let you know.

I took the TV through its paces. I left it on for about 6 hours. The 1080i picture that picked up on PBS looked good. No tuning or picture or functional issues.

I put in a Blu-ray disc. At first, the Blu-ray player didn’t want to accept it; it doesn’t just automatically accept the disc, switch everything and start playing. I had to switch the TV to the Blu-ray player input. The Blu-ray player then went up through a bootup sequence of mechanical spin up sounds for about 5 seconds. Once it accepted the disc, it whirred for about 7 seconds and then started playing. The wait was fairly short, not painfully long like some other Blu-ray players. Another oddity is that discs are inserted with the mirror side, not the label side, facing the viewer. This isn’t a big deal but, since people seem to expect that the label side should be visible when inserting the disc, you just have to know to insert it backwards/upside down.

The picture looked great from all angles. I looked from above, below, far left and far right and the TV has no issues with viewing it from an angle, even a harsh angle. If I could see the screen, I could see the picture.

Speaking of picture quality, I chose this player because I’d rather have 1080p and Blu-ray versus going with a mere 720p and DVD. As far as I’m concerned, Viore really delivers with best price for value. This is a good TV.

The sound was very strong. Lots of other TV/DVD combos don’t produce very loud sound but, in this case, I was comfortable with the sound set to 30 and moving it up to 100 made it very, very loud. Later, I noted that I could still hear the TV with both the shower and the bathroom fan running and on a setting less than 50. It also has an options for flat (regular) sound and (simulated) surround sound; flat sound is the default. Switching on surround sound is a big improvement for me and provided fuller, more enveloping sound.

Later, I noticed that the Blu-ray player does have a low-to-medium whine while playing. I also have an old Sharp 22″ TV/DVD combo. I compared the player sounds: the Sharp is nearly silent while the Viore Blu-ray player is much louder. Now, if I were you, I wouldn’t freak out about this. It’s not that bad and is certainly drowned out by action and regular talking scenes. But, you could hear it on a quiet scene. It wasn’t annoying, just a slight mechanical, spinning type whine that could fade into the background for most people. And, for those who care, I tested it with a Blu-ray with DTS-HD MA audio and, with a few adjustments, it could play it (in stereo) from the built-in speakers.

I also tested the Blu-ray player with a DVD and CD. DVD up-conversion to 1080p is excellent. CD sound is good.

The TV has an Ethernet port for getting BD-Live updates for Blu-ray discs. Although I looked in the manual and on the TV, there was no mention of which Blu-ray Profiles that are supported. Since it has BD-Live, I assume that it supports Profile 2.0. The manual says that BD-Live content can be stored on internal memory (300 MB) or on a USB drive.

The TV can play media on a USB drive. I played MPG, MP3, JPG and even MP4 (a 1080p Apple trailer converted using QuickTime Pro; it plays in full and beautiful 1080p). It doesn’t play MOV (no surprise there).

On reading the manual, I noticed that some Chinese guy had used the back of it for as a coaster and written some notes in Chinese characters on it. Also, the remote had a tiny, tiny gash in it. Back at the store, a salesperson opened another brand new box and, in that one, the user manual was folded back and about 10 pages had stray black marks on them and the remote control had a battery cover that didn’t fit quite right. So, apparently, some manuals and remote controls are messed up at the factory. I called Viore and they were not very responsive. They’ve gotten confused a bunch of times about what’s wrong (”It’s not that hard, guys, just send me a new manual and remote.”), had me e-mail them paperwork (which they sometimes lost) and I have had to keep pestering them. So, technical support for this TV is not very good.

The remote has a budget look-and-feel but is perfectly functional. Curiously, the Samsung remote for my Samsung plasma TV also controls this TV; apparently, Viore and Samsung use the same remote codes. The manuals are budget as well. The manuals don’t even have a “Getting Started” section but, if you have some familiarity with other electronics, you shouldn’t have much trouble.

The mounting screw holes are VESA 300 x 200 (300mm x 200mm) which is kind of rare. I mounted this TV with the Premier AM2-B Articulating Wall Mount plus the Arrow AM-201D Vesa 400 X 200 Adapter Plate for Wall Mounts plus some machine screws that I bought at a nationwide hardware retailer.

A friend suggested that Viore might be the house brand for Walmart, even though that’s not where I bought it. Akai, another consumer electronics company, seems somehow related to Viore but the relationship is unknown.

Honestly, this is a fantastic value for the price. I’d much prefer this 1080p TV/Blu-ray combo than a 720p TV/DVD combo. It completely blows that away.

Now, this TV Blu-ray combo has a special purpose for me. I’m going to mount it in a bathroom. I looked into buying a special, waterproof TV but those are like 7x to 8x the cost of an equivalent non-waterproof TV. (Waterproof TVs actually do exist and are available, in case that you are interested, and are mostly made by small boutique companies.) At that markup, I figured that I could lose a couple TVs to water damage before it made sense to consider a waterproof TV. The only other benefits of a waterproof TV are that some of them have the appearance of a mirror when they are turned off and they have heated screens to combat misting. In any case, my TV is mounted in the bathroom now and seems to work fine without any issues.

good value - L. Chmielewski -
This is a good value for the price, although digital channels are much clearer than the others…

Great TV, blue ray pretty good. - N. R. Magallanes -
The TV itself works really good, remote is nice, the menu is nice and the idea
of only not needing a second clunky device to hand or put on a shelf so you
can play DVD’s is phenomenul. The problem is that this blue ray stops a lot
and will not play several BD’s I have. I guess they are the wrong format, but
my other BD players play them just fine. We are working with it and I love the
product overall.
