My Experience: Excellent buy at under $900.00 for the exemplary performance and features. I just wish VISIO had a web site that is readily available. But have encountered one problem that as of yet has no fix (see problem area).

Problems: We live in a rural area 11 miles from a town and we have no CABLE or DSL lines available this far out. Hence I have to use Satellite for everything for our television and computer services. Now the problem, we have DISH NETWORK as our satellite TV provider using a VIP622 DVR HIGH DEFFINITION receiver and when I connected my VISIO L32 TV using a gold HDMI cable, all I received was a green screen. When I contacted DISH NETWORK Customer Service (CS), they stated that there was a problem with their compatibility with the VISIO HDMI LCD TVs. The CS representative stated that their engineers were working on the problem with VISIO and no fix date is in sight. Our HD picture is good using the analog cables provided with the receiver but I was expecting an OUTSTANDING HD experience not just good. Hopefully in the near future they will have the problem fixed.
