The Vizio VHT510 adds rear speakers to the traditional sound bar design, resulting in outstanding sound quality at an affordable price, although we would have liked more inputs.
Vizio's competitive home theater sound bar
The Vizio VHT215 is a stylish sound bar with tons of inputs and solid sound quality, especially if you like the ability to adjust the sound. The competing Haier SBEV40-SLIM is a little better overall, but it's very close and the Vizio is definitely worth considering.
The extremely inexpensive 32-inch Vizio VP322 introduces a new size category for plasma, but its overall performance is no better, and often worse, than that of similar-size LCDs.
In addition to offering all of the standard Android features, Vizio's first tablet doubles as a universal remote control. Even better, the 4GB version is expected to cost only $349 when it debuts in the summer of 2011.
Although better-performing 52-inch models are available for less money, the 55-inch Vizio VF550XVT will appeal to less-critical viewers who want a bigger screen.
The Vizio XVT3SV series' excellent picture quality, thoughtful design, scads of features, and reasonable price combine to make the best value among high-end LED-based LCD TVs today.
The Parrot Boombox wireless Bluetooth speaker system ably combines elegant design, minimalist aesthetics, and better-than-average sound quality at an affordable price.
With commendable image quality and plenty of connections, the relatively inexpensive V Vizio P50HDM 50-inch plasma is the best value in its class.
Sony's HT-CT150 sound bar home theater system sounds great and is way ahead of the competition with its three HDMI inputs; however, its IR receiver limits the subwoofer's placement options.
The 46-inch Vizio GV46L HDTV costs less than the big-screen LCD competition, but its picture quality isn't up to par with the company's other bargain efforts.
Vizio VHT210 Review
The good: Sound bar home theater system; compact design, especially the wireless subwoofer; no AV receiver required; better-than-average sound on two-channel music; excellent remote control design; useful "SRS True Volume" control.
The bad: No HDMI connectivity; only two inputs (one optical digital, one analog stereo); may not get loud enough for some; no DTS decoding.
The bottom line: The Vizio VHT210 sound bar sports an uncommonly compact design and sounds better playing music than the average in its class, but its input options are limited.
