I bought mine on black friday 2010. I had another tv that I was planning to buy after doing a lot of online research. Got to Walmart and they were sold out of just about everything tv I wanted. I told one of the people there to find another Vizio as a last ditch effort and they ended up coming out with this one. I am truly happy with the choice. I love the picture and sound quality!

- Great Value Review by Dak

I've had the SV420M for about 9 mos now. It's been problem free and has fantastic HD quality and clarity. When a channel is truly broadcast in HD, the entire screen will be filled with the picture, and it's amazing that at times, there almost seems to be 'depth' in the overall picture. I believe this is due to the fact that the sharpness & clarity of the image ( person or thing ) focused upon, is in contrast to the slightly out of focus images behind them. Pretty impressive. What sold me on this TV was not just a lower priced 120HZ unit, but the quality of picture when compared to other units in the store. Fiddling some with the sound option menu selections creates a fairly full sound without external speakers. HD cable movies & channels look fantastic as well as high quality DVD media. If you're looking for real value, I think Vizio's got the market. The picture honestly rivals top tier units.

- GREAT TV but horrible remote Review by lileze08
-
THIS TV IS LITERALLY THE BANG FOR THE BUCK I GOT IT FOR 558 FROM WALMART B4 THE BLACK FRIDAY GURUS BOUGHT THEM ALL OUT. CRYSTAL CLEAR PERFECT PICTURE PERFECT SOUND, AND CAN COMPETE WITH COMPETITORS. THE FLAW IS THAT THE REMOTE HAS TO BE POINTED DIRECTLY AT THE SENSOR ON THE LOWER LEFT CORNER OF THE TV NOT AT THE SCREEN OR THE TV I MEAN DIRECTLY AT THE CORNER. AND IT IS NOT MANY OPTIONS ON THE REMOTE EITHER, YOU HAVE TO ACCESS THE MENU TO GET TO THINGS LIKE ZOOM CHANGE PICTURE SETTINGS, AND THERE IS NO PIP BUTTON EITHER.

- Great TV along with a great price tag. Review by nesco1

I bought the tv from Walmart on line and bought it for a steal - 488.00. I did buy the extended warranty along with it. Ever since I took it out of the box I was amazed by the picture quality and streaming. I recommended this tv to my friends and family. I do recommend it as it is the best buy for your money.

- Greatest T.V. at the greatest price! Review by JDubb5381
-
I purchased the Vizio SV420M about one year ago. I will have to say that to this day I have not yet gotten it calibrated, but I left it on the "out of the box" settings and I will have to say that it is so crisp and so clear that I am amazed at how great this T.V. is for how cheap it was. The only two problems that I have are the auto dimming of the picture during dark scenes and the auto dimming of the sound during quiet times. Other than that, this is the best tv that I have ever owned. I recommend this tv to anyone! My brother n law bought this tv off of my recommendation and he loves it as much as I do. I just recently bought the HD soundbar and wireless subwoofer and it got rid of the auto fading of the volume part. An A+ VIZIO! I am a VIZIO customer for life!!!!

- Awesome Review by Dr Trenga

I just bought this yesterday from Wallmart, I was looking at a 42" LG, but for the extra $90. I decided to go with the 120 Hz and am very glad that I did. I replaced a 32" Westinghouse and this is so Superior to the W it isn't even comparable. I also rented a 40" Toshiba and it also cannot compare to the Vizio. I simply can't believe the Chrystal clear picture and no distortion when objects are moving due to the 120 HZ. All I can say is "WOW, what a TV.

I originally purchased the vizio vo420m for $598 and pretty happy with it. Then I saw the sv420m open box at walmart for $598 and couldn't resist the 120hz claim. Let me tell you it is a Night and Day difference when it comes to the smoothness of moving objects with in the picture. I would highly recommend any one who's considering a less expensive model to save up for this one or an even better XVT model. Smooth motion is what the technology is called and it makes hdtv much more real. I have yet to watch a Bluray on it but I can only imagine how crystal clear and smooth the picture will be. And that's exactly what we want right?! Virtual Reality!!!!

Purchased a 38 and liked it. but it had a line down the side and would not go away. Returned it back to Walmart without a problem. They were out of the 38's and purchased the 42. What a break for me... the picture is almost as if I am looking out my window.
