I have a 20", 3 year-old Visio . It is a great TV with great sound as the speakers are facing the front. It also has very good color. So naturally, I wanted another Visio for my study. 26" was my choice. But what bothered me was the color on this model: I saw this model on display at several Target stores. They all had poor red color. In fact the red Target logo looked more dark brown than red. I asked the salemen and they all agreed the color was off and could be adjusted better. But they all did not want to touch the display models. Because I never liked to return stuff, I thought and thought for more than a couple of months before I decided to give this a try.So I bought this model and promptly found my suspicion was entirely correct. If you adjust the flesh tone correctly. Then the red is very brown, even close to coffee color. The bigger problem is: If red is off, all other colors would be incorrect except the flesh tone. I don't know why with all the great reviews on this model, no one ever noticed this? If you own this model, please try what I did and see for yourself.
