Great "little" monitor

Verified Purchase:Yes
This was a great buy for the price. The monitor sits low, on it's stand, and the screen is wider than the standard 1920 x 1080. It's a 1600 x 900 resolution monitor. I didn't read the details before I bought it. I just saw it at a great price and snagged it cause I needed it.
Overall it works great, it has only two inputs: DVI and VGA. It's got very minimal setup required, just piecing together the stand-very simple. And it comes with your basic VGA cable.
But the things that you can't read on the specs page: it works great, setup was easy, it feels a little "lower" than your standard monitor (to me anyway.)
If you need a monitor and are tired of trying to find a used one, this is a PERFECT purchase. If you want a high resolution monitor with options-this isn't what you're looking for.

Very Proud of my Purchase
on March 4, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to replace my blu-ray player 5.1 surround sound that was connected to my computer. Now I've got the optical port connected to my computer and pump out music 24/7.
It is extremely important to note: when you first power this item on-if you're listening to music you MUST switch the mode from Video to Music. And I also suggest turning off the surround sound. If you don't, you'll hear the music volume levels being altered by the system to get better sound quality from movies and the center speaker (vocals). I'm not an expert but this is what it sounds like it's trying to do. It sounds bizarre and I thought it was broken. So I called VIZIO's technical support and had the entire unit replaced only to later discover all I had to do was set it to "Music." :P
Anyway this thing can pump out some tunes! The sub is perfect, it really only carries the low of the lows. The bar itself handles most of the regular bass and it does so with ease. This makes for a much clearer sound overall.
The one thing I do not like: the remote and the controls on the bar itself.
First off, the controls on top of the unit have no illumination, I suppose that's acceptable considering it's not supposed to be a "boombox." It should be wall mounted somewhere and you shouldn't need to touch it. But a little illumination would be nice nonetheless.
And secondly, the remote, while being small it must be aimed directly at the unit and you must be watching this bar's lights to know if you've made an alteration to the unit. I can understand why this is the case but there are alternatives that could have been made in production that would have clearly let you know whether you turned on or off a setting.
These two things are pretty minor all-in-all. The sound quality is killer, the maximum volume is killer, the look is sleek, mounting was cake, etc etc.

Will the speaker play any sound type coming in the HDMI input? I would like to connect multiple HDMI devices via HDMI splitter to the speaker for the audio and use the HDMI output to connect my TV for video.

I've got the speaker system connected via optical cable to my PC. My pc outputs dts ac3 and hd 5.1 surround sound to the unit smoothly. Then I switch it over to "stereo" and from video to music, and it outputs as 2 channel for my computer system when I'm not watching a movie. I would suspect HDMI to be the same.
