Awesome TV Review by Double D

This is our second Vizio.The first was a 32 inch which has now been placed in a spare bedroom. We bought the 42 inch just before the Superbowl. The picture is awesome; the sound is good. No complaints at all. The TV meets our needs perfectly.

My second Vizio Review by wes

I just brought this 42" yesterday, an early birthday present for me from a son and wife. I had a one year old 37" and loved it, so that is why I brought the 42". Have the salesman try to sell me another brand of TV and I told him that he was wrong about the information that he was telling people about the picture on the Vizios. Yes, there was only one problem with the sound, but if you go in and changes on audio, you can get rid of the tinny sound. I brought the sound bar which really took care of the tinny sound. Will buy another Vizio for my son soon.

Amazing Review by moodreaux

I got a 42" and this tv is the best I have seen for the xbox360. My buddy has a Sharp Aquos and it has a horrible lag during any type of gameplay but this tv was plug and play and the best I have seen.

Love it !! Review by yorkieRI

This is my 1st flat screen TV. I did a lot of research and got this at Target right before Thanksgiving. The price was great and when I set it up with the HDM cable it was more than I could have expected out of a TV. I adjusted some of the settings and when I put it on Vivid I couldn't believe how clear the picture was. The sound is great, and all in all I am so happy I purchased this TV.
