VT420M 120HS 42"HDTV Review by TC

I FIRST BOUGHT THE VIZO 42" FOR THE LIVINGROOM 240HZ THAT IS A FIVE STAR, AND I WENT BACK TO SAMS TO PURCHASE ANOTHER 42" AND THEY HAD THE 42" VT420 120HZ, I COULD NOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE PICTURE QUALITY, SO I BOUGHT THE VT420M 120HZ THIS TIME AND SET IT UP IN THE BEDROOM, THE SOUND AND THE PICTURE IS SO GREAT IT WAS A LITTLE BIGGER & TALL THAN THE FIRST ONE AND I LIKE THE EXTERIOR IT GOES GREAT WITH THE FURNITURE I HAVE, AND I ALSO SAVED $100.00 DOLLARS OVER THE FIRST ONE. TO BE TOTALLY HONEST BOTH TV'S ARE EXCELLENT, THE 240HZ HAS A LITTLE BETTER SOUND AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS I PUT IN THE LIVING ROOM, THE 120HZ SOUND IS GREAT IN THE BED ROOM AT FIRST I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO RETURN BECAUSE THE SOUND WAS NOT THAT GREAT BUT AFTER ALITTLE TWEAKING THIS THING SOUNDED GREAT, NO COMPLAINS HERE, WHEN I WATCH TV I LIKE QUALITY AND BOTH OF THESE ARE BETTER THAN THE LEADING BRANDS LIKE LG,SAMSUNG,SONY AND THE PRICE IS AFFORDABLE. YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH EITHER MODEL OR THIS BRAND. PS MY PARENTS HAVE PURCHASED QTY2 OF THE 47" MODELS ONE WAS THE 60HZ THAT THING ROCKS BOTH IN SOUND AND PICTURE QUALITY AND IT WAS A 60HZ, THE SECOND ONE IS A 120HZ AND AGAIN THAT ONE HAS A CRISP HIGH QUALITY PICTURE AND THE SOUND IT EXCELLENT, NO NEED FOR ANY SOUND BAR. , SO FAR I RATE ALL THE VIZO I & MY PARENTS OWN A FIVE STAR,THE ONY THING I HAVE ENCOUNTERED WAS ON THE MODEL# VT420M I HOOKED IT UP TO MY DVD PLAYER THAT WAS 7 YEARS OLD AND THE MOVIES DO PLAY BUT PAUSES, I BELIEVE THAT THE DVD PLAYER IS TO SLOW FOR THE 120HZ & 240HZ, SO IF YOU EXPERIENCE THIS ITS NOT THE TV IT YOUR OLD DVD PLAYER AND TO CONFIRM THIS I HOOKED UP THE DVD PLAYER TO 3 OTHER 60HZ TV THAT I HAD AND IT PLAYED FINE, I ALSO CHANGE THE MOVIE TO DIFFERENT MOVIES TO CONFRIM THAT THE MOVIE WASNT BAD, SO OFF I GO TO BUY A NEW VISO BLU-RAY DVD PLAYER, JUST DONT TELL MY WIFE, SHE THINKS I"M SPENDING TO MUCH. OKC, OKLA
