- I LOVE IT! Review by ku4gw

I've had my Vizio E420VL 42" LCD TV for almost 3 years now and I absolutely love it! The picture is so good that it looks real! I run the picture setting in the menu on Vivid all the time and it has a absolutely beautiful picture. I receive unsolicited comments from friends and vistors on how great the picture is on this TV. I'd buy it all over again in a heartbeat! Also, the 120 hertz refresh rate is especially noticeable on video games and movies when the picture quicky pans right or left with clarity and no blur at all! I would highly recommend this TV to anyone! It shows the best picture I have ever seen on a LCD TV! I love it!

I have a flatscreen for my computer, but this is the first TV version. Friends talked about all the hassles of set up with their flatscreens, so I was worried. What? No hassle with the Vizio! Followed the directions 1, 2, 3......presto! Great images, good sound quality.
Now I am thinking of adding some speakers.(Posted on 4/15/11)

Bought the E420VL and the VSB210WS sound bar with wireless subwoofer @ the same time.Definately fills our home with a great picture & sound.Have also played music & videos from laptop using HDMI cable.So simple.Had to buy 26" VIZIO LCD for the Kenworth I drive with same sound bar /sub combo.I would recommend these combos to everyone.The 42" HDTV & sound bar ran about $876+tax.

- Great First HD TV Purchase Review by bubba gse
-
I was shopping for a tv that was about mid-level price range. Since this was my first HD TV, I was concerned about spending the bucks and being unhappy with my purchase. This TV put my fears to rest. In fact, I enjoy this TV more everyday I own it. I'm not into the technical end, I just know this TV is fantastic. I originally purchased this TV because my wife is vision impaired. My goal is to eventually repalce every TV in my house with a Vizio.

This is our 3rd Vizio. We have a 26" LCD (4/10) and a 50" Plasma (7/07). They are all great, but actually the Plasma has the best picture even today.

- Vizio All The Way! Review by Linna
-
My brother, who is a techie recommended Vizio. It is what he has, I lived with him for 2yrs & watched it. So when I moved, at first I was looking for a Sony, but Vizio is what I watched so I brought a 32" for my bedroom. I'm am very pleased, Jeff didn't steer me wrong & waiting after the holiday's I got a great buy. I'm not a 3D person & I didn't want all the other unnecessary (to me) bells & whistles. I was happy that Vizio doesn't make you have to get all of the unnecessary (to me). Next is the livingroom! Thanx
