Love the ViZio Review by JDHarvin

I purchased the Vizio E421VO yesterday to replace my 14 yr old Sony 36 inch Tube Tele.
WOW what a picture this Television has. And the sound is Amazing. The 36 inch I replaced weighed about 350 pounds.....almost died getting it in the bed of my truck by myself. This Television weighed 34 pounds....OMG. Boy have we come a long (weigh)
since then. Thanks Vizio...will recomend to all...and I will get the 55 inch 240 hz refresh for my Den next year. Hope this one last 14 yrs.....My sony 52 incher LCD in the den has lasted 10 yrs and 5 bulbs so far....next yr I will replace it with a new LED LCD Vizio.

73 Watts!!!!!!! Review by Art

For me this set replaced a 5 year old 46 inch Samsung that was notably power hungry when running 10 hours per day. Doing the math this set at 73 watts will pay for itself in less than 4 years plus the features run circles around the old Samsung that I paid over $2,000.00 for.

GREAT TV Review by marcus27lincoln

MY FIRST FLATSCREEN TV. I BOUGHT IT IN JAN 2012 ON WALMART. GREAT PRICE FOR THE CLARITY OF THE PICTURES. BUT ONE DOWNSIDE TO THIS TV.. IM A GAMER AND NOW ITS JUNE 2012 AND I REGRET NOT BUYING A 3D HDTV FOR THE SAME PRICE I BOUGHT THIS FOR. BUT IF YOURE LOOKING FOR A GREAT TV THAT HANDLES ALL BASIC FEATURES, THIS IT THE TV FOR YOU! I LOVE IT FOR THAT FACT BUT SOON I WILL BE UPGRADING TO 3D TV. YES IT WILL BE VIZIO!!! LOL

new tv Review by Thomas Robison

Our today purchase of 42 inch Vizio was spurred by disappointment with an Olevia purchased also from Target 4 years ago. The remote unable to mesh with Uverse, combined with a Chinese language web page when looking for help, made this leap to a new Vizio a real joy. We have two other Vizio's. Checking reviews, we went for this one when the sound failed on the Olevia [figured that out after 3 or 4 hours in last two days of trying to figure out sound problem--thank you Uverse techs for your patience]. So far I am surprised by picture quality of new Vizio, always resisting new technology by nature of my personality, but amazed by clarity, ease of set up, great price from Target... we are happy.

Very happy Review by zodicus

My parents bought 2 vizio's and i couldnt belive how good the picture was. I have a 42" LG 1080P and the vizio has just as good if not a little better picture, and the vizio looks smoother when things get moving fast even though there both suposedly 60Hz. All in all the vizio is a better TV than my LG for almost half the cost. I will definatly buy another vizio TV when the time comes. DONT OVER LOOK VIZIO JUST BECAUSE THERE CHEAPER!

Still In Shock!!!! Review by Rob

I purchased my Vizio E421VO at WalMart for $478. Got it home and setup quite easily and quickly. Computer via RGA cable and 3.5mm male to male sound cable, game console via AV cables and VCR via coaxial cable. Picture was great and sound was great (nice and loud) but I noticed a couple of light spots in the right upper corner and lower left corner. Adjusted the picture but couldn't get the areas to disappear. I exchanged it the next day at WalMart, got it home and hooked up....
The 2nd time around I am a happy customer! The picture is absolutely wonderful and with a couple of easy adjustments you can set it up just the way you want it. I noticed the sound was much better than before so I can only assume the sound was also faulty on the first tv. Loud, clear, and fully adjustable with surround and volumizing features make this tv's sound one of a kind. This tv has turned all of my movies and video games into never before seen gems!!! Looking forward to getting a Hi Def DVD player to hook up via HDMI cables and eventually purchasing a home theater surround sound system with possibly a Vizio soundbar to fully complete my home theater experience. Overall an outstanding purchase and a great buy for my first flat panel tv!!!

Vizio is the best Review by JenniB

I just currently purchased my second Vizio my first was a 42 and my second a 32 inch for my bedroom. I love Vizio brand and will continue to purchase them until I fell up my other two bedrooms. I am currently looking into buying more Vizio products. Their pictures are soooo clear and the sound is awesome too.

Best tv and the best price! Review by chevytrucks2021

I own this 42 inch for my playstation and hd channels and this thing is amazing! the sound is wonderful and the picture is clear. The pricing is very reasonable for the quality. I also own a 32 inch that i use as a computer monitor and its just as good! Im not owning another brand of tv
