The display remains vibrant in almost all light conditions, with rich levels of black. There is not notice any ghosting or burn-in problems, and the set remains an excellent choice for computer display and console gaming. At almost half the price of a Sony or Phillips, the VIZIO VW26L stands tall in defining the company slogan of Vizio: Where Vision Meets Value. Highly recommended!
