When most buyers hear the name Vizio, they think of cheap HDTVs, but if you look at recent prices for LCDs, that’s no longer the case. More established brands like Panasonic, Sony, and Samsung have all slashed their prices to meet Vizio. Luckily for the Vizio VO32L, that’s not much of an issue, because it’s a solid performer even without the price advantage.

The gritty details are all in the review, but the bottom line is that the VO32L has perfectly good image quality with relatively deep blacks and accurate primary colors, along with a nice connectivity suite, with three HDMI inputs and a VGA-style PC input. Our major gripe is that the blacks tended to look greenish in darker areas, but it’s not a dealbreaker.

You’ve probably guessed by now that it sports the same hardware you’ll find in most other netbooks on the market: the Atom CPU, a 10-inch 1024×600 LED screen, 80GB or 160GB HDD (we’re presuming, Samsung being what it is, SSDs are on the horizon), BT 2.0+EDR, 1.3mp webcam and 3-in-1 card reader. The NC10 does have some slight differences from the majority of netbooks. Take for example the GMA950 graphics (not as bad as the 945). Shiny and tiny What Samsung is touting, however, is the netbook’s ingenious design (although ‘Going out in style’ hardly means what they think it means)….
