Like a dream... Review by sherbanater

I purchased this TV last month to replace the 47" JVC from Aarons i thought was a fabulous Set.When i fired up the Vizio it was like night and day.the JVC looked like an Etch a sketch compared to this thing.Absolutely brilliant colors,50,000-1 contrast ratio,120htz, wonderful color depth,Sound is very crisp for an LCD and thanks to sams club i got it for under a grand with a 4 year warranty. If you have been looking for a Mind Blowing LCD that wont break the bank, buy this...go home hook it up and throw in 2012 on blueray on Vivid display settings and hold on!!Guaranteed you will wet yourself repeatedly or have multiple orgasms.

Great TV Review by Brian

I picked up this TV to replace a 42 inch DLP. I was sold on the Vizio after watching my friends 55" Vizio LCD. Picture is great right out of the box. I did not like the "Flat" setting that the sound was set to by default. I just went into the menu and changed it. Now it's great. I would still recommend a sound bar and subwoofer to compliment the TV. Overall a great TV.

Great price Review by Linda

We purchased a 42 " Vizio one yerar ago and placed in bedroom. We just purchased a 47" for the living room. We loved the low price, great picture and sound. Very easy to install and light weight. We needed to call the neighbors to help us lug the old ones out. Now they are all buying Vizio.
