I purchased and return the 32" model due to some serious quality issues with component and composite/S-video inputs. At any resolution lines appear in the image. This HDTV would have been just right for me so I tried three units and all had the same issues. I tested with several input devices and cables to make sure the problem was not mine. On the third HDTV I decide to call Vizio to see what was going wrong. They instructed me to send a picture of the lines to their people for inspection. They declaired I need a in-home repair call. I just brought the thing home and this POS needs repair! I took it back to Walmart with a quickness. Save up and buy a good brand. The Internet is filled with Vizio horror stories of lasting two years or less,don't let them make you a victim of their poor quality.
bah, for the price of my 42" Vizio (that I bought 2.5 years ago) that has an excellent picture and features, I can buy a new one every 3 years 3 times compared to a much higher priced set with similar features and quality.
For what it's worth, 1080i HDV signals fed to the component inputs look just fine on mine. Let me restate that: they look incredible (considering the price of the plasma).
