As part of the Viore LC55VFZ61 review, we present the key specifications at a glane.

- Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution

- High brightness level at 500cd/m2
- 5 ms response time
- 15,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio
- Analog Digital Tuner

Viore LC55VFZ61 HDTV is attractive in design and looks and simple to use and operate. The big 55 inch size is obviously a plus for the Viore. The high brightness level enbles viewing of the content even in decent room light. Although its theoritical brightness level at 15,000:1 may see less than what other manufacturer’s suggest, we do not recommend looking at this figure blindly.

We however, suggest that you also look at some of the Samsung brand TVs available at a reasonable price. They have often better quality and lower or comparable cost.
