• 

The holiday season is in full swing, and many of us are looking for the perfect gift for friends and family.  If you are looking for that special electronic gift for a teenager or young adult, be sure to consider a 32 inch LCD HDTV – it’s just the right size for a bedroom or other personal space. This year, let Santa bring the Vizio E320i-A0 –  an affordable Smart TV that is perfect in a bedroom setting where there is usually less room for external boxes to coordinate with the TV.

This particular Vizio model is ideal for smaller rooms and spaces, including a home office; it measures 19.25 inches high by 28.74 inches wide by 7.46 inches deep, including its base.  The panel itself is slim (only 3.34 inches thick), so this nice-looking TV is compact and able to fit into relatively small places.  The screen has a near matte finish, while the bezel framing the screen is gloss black.

Beyond its look and great pricing, this TV is a dynamo with many capabilities and a relatively good picture.  Add up all of the great features that come with this Smart TV and you will see that the Vizio E320i-A0 is a great choice for tweens, teens and young adults, especially if the viewers will be looking to stream video on their new TV.

The Smart content selection is excellent and many folks would say it is among the best available today. Vizio leaves no major video services off the list, even though it does not yet have some of the sought out sports apps. Skype, a very popular app, is active on this TV, although in order to use it, you will need to buy a camera/speakerphone.  There is plenty of music to choose from as well, including Pandora, Rhapsody, iHeartRadio and TuneIn Radio.

The Vizio E320i-A0 has a native resolution of 1366 x 768 (720p) and LED backlighting, allowing the panel to use much less energy than conventional fluorescent backlighting.  Family members will love the fact that this model is Internet-enabled and can easily access online content, including streaming movie services. It has an Ethernet jack for connecting to your home network via a cable, however this TV is also Wi-Fi capable, so it can be connected to a home network wirelessly.   In addition, the DLNA certification enables viewers to access and see digital photos stored on a compatible computer, phone, or other mobile device that is connected to your home network, a feature that everyone will enjoy.

There are 3 HD-capable inputs: 2 HDMI and 1 component-video, which can also be used as composite-video.  This TV also has a USB port, which allows the viewer to plug in a thumb drive or memory card reader to  play stored photos, videos, and music on the TV.

The bottom line is this:  if you are looking to put a smile on someone’s face during this holiday season, be sure to choose the Vizio E320i-A0 Smart TV.  You can’t go wrong with this sleek, yet affordable, choice.
