The best TV I ever had! Review by Hobbit

I just wanna say as a memorial to my old TV. This is the best tv I have every had it served me well in its 3 years of life. The picture was absolutely amazing and sound couldn't have been better for me. I'm a gamer and I take pride in the kind of TV I use.

This was the best there was but a tornado destroyed my home and the TV with it. FYI no one was hurt. My dad is an electronics genius and he had been through many, many TVs when I was younger. So I've a great share of TVs of different brands. Vizio is the absolute best and this TV was as well.

I'm soon to be getting a replacement for this I searched everywhere to buy one of these new but alas could not find. So I'm thinking of going with SV422XVT or the E420VO

excellent, outstanding picture & quality Review by Rama

This is my 1st flat screen TV and Im so happy with this 42" Vizio!! It meets all my expectations and I couldn't believe the value and bang for the buck when I purchased it @ Walmart. I had researched for awhile couldn't decide which brand, Sony, Samsung or Vizio. I have always purchased Sony and compared other brands to them until I visited some friends and saw their flat screen TV.. IT had the best picture I had ever seen and immediately I saw the Vizio name on the set. When I watched a Blu ray movie on it, I absolutely couldn't believe how vivid and remarkable the picture was..My mind was made up, I immediately went by Walmart that night and bought my 1st Vizio TV and also Vizio Blu ray player and haven't looked back (Sony). Vizio makes a great product and I will purchase their products in the future, in fact I'm thinking of getting a larger screen for my den and moving the 42" to the bedroom.You wont be disappointed with your purchase of a Vizio product and it will provide you with amazing quality @ a lower price.

Quality_A++ Price A Review by Methos

I have search for good value between quality and price, and Vizio have super passed all of them, The quality have been excellent, many reviews online, and in person I have heard from consumers as me.
I just walk trough Walmart and this one was on discount $598 +tax $640. I wished the price was lower (last minute shopping, I could wait and do more research), but it compensates the quality of this Tv, VIZIO is making great Tv's. I am happy with my purchase.

Best investment all year so far. perfect picture, surround sound, stepped of my ps3 and xbox definition. must have tv for any one upgrading or replacing. I paid more for the RCA than i did the for the FULL HD 42 INCH VIZIO!!!

INCREDIBLE!!! Review by obiwan1968

I bought this TV in Walmart for $628.00 and its worth every penny! Picture and sound are terrific. I also connected it to my PC wich also looks great!
It even picked up 12 digital channels on my cable service that my Pioneer 50" plasma in the other room refuses to. Thank you Vizio for a great product.

Very Nice HDTV! Review by jw_ks

I purchased the 42" VIZIO HD Model VO420E today at WalMart for $638.00 and so far this television is exceptional. The picture is very sharp and crisp and the sound is excellent. Setup was minimal and very easy. Many nice features and will give me years of quality viewing I am sure. Thank you VIZIO for a very SWEEEEET HD Television! Really nice BIG screen! :)
