Vivid offers a lot of good hardcore action, but it isn't quite as shiny and bright as its mega-stars. There are loads of well-known performers featured, but the whole experience is degraded by average or even low-quality content.

The 1,296 videos are streaming only and average looking. You do get to watch 324 full-length DVDs, but you can't even enlarge the online Flash player to full screen.

This stuff is great if you're hunting around for a DVD to buy, but as a stand-alone product, the image quality isn't up to par. It does, however, deliver the stars by the sky-full, including Tera Patrick, Asia Carerra, Sunny Leone and 60 other big names.

The 324 photo galleries are of decent quality, but you won't find anything above medium-res. You will, however, appreciate the professional look of most of the layouts. You'll see these gorgeous women looking perfect.

Extras include links to live cams, a dating site and discounts on other porn paysites. You can also shop the store and buy some of the DVDs you've watched. I can't help feeling that the site is a giant ad funded by membership fees, which seems to take away from its value.
