Pros: So far this appears to be a decent quality set for the money.
Cons: The body explains the cons in detail. This is not a good image for Vizio.
The Bottom Line: Be VERY careful and check the submodel number before purchasing because all VX32Ls are not equal

Most references you will to the VX32L don't give any indication of which submodel they are talking about. Before you buy, be sure you know which one you are getting.
Vizio only shows the submodel 10A on their website, but there is a 20A submodel floating around that is NOT a step up from the 10A but a step DOWN.
One major difference is that it doesn't include PIP. The 20A specs in the manual also state that it doesn't include Zoom or Freeze (although the latter is there, all you need is a remote from a 10A to activate it). A QAM tuner isn't listed. but apparently it is there as well. There are several functions that can be controlled from a 10A remote, but the stripped down 20A one omits those buttons.
It's a shame that Visio is keeping this secret from their potential customers. Why do I say that? Because there is no normal markins on the box to indicate that there are two submodels. You have to check the little UPC sticker and see what the last part of the model number is.
Another customer pointed this out to them and received what I fell is a very arrogant response for their "Vizio-Guru". He stated that the customer should always be sure to read all of the descriptions on the box to make sure they are getting what they expect. He/She/It completely ignored the fact that Vizio makes no mention of two submodels on their website. Likewise, it would seem that he hasn't been in a major store recently. You see display models with specs abbreviated by that store, and never get to see the box until after your purchase. They simply don't have room to put the boxes of all models out there with the displays.
