four years 4 diffrent locations and my Vizio picture is the same as the first day i brough it home. Review by Shawn

I was a bit worried about buying a new tv from a new company even tho the rumor is their the better part of samsung. But I could not be more pleased with my Vizio 1080p.
In the last 4 years we have moved 4 times each move I hauled the tv in my jeep, let me tell you this tv is built very well and my picture is just the same as the day I bought it. I could go on and on about how pleased I am with this tv and I will be buying more of the Vizio brand.

Vizio 42" HDTV A.O.K. Review by Bob

We purchased our Vizio 42" HDTV, during the summer of 2010 and opted for a Refurbished Model: VW42LFHDTV10A-B It was both low price and the multi-feature attachments, we used for our choice. There has been no problem with screen quality and sound playback. Except when using RGB setting. Here using a VGA adapter from a home computer and using the Vizio has the 2nd monitor. It does not like to lock on the RGB setting. It's takes three or more times to set RGB using the "INPUT" button, then pressing the "MENU" button . After the 3 or 4th time, the actual menu settings screen appears and then by pressing the "LAST" button, the menu screen closes. This is the only way we can get the RGB feature stay set. Would I buy another Vizio? Yes and we plan on buying another soon. This HDTV shipped by special road/hand delivery to ensure it got to us exactly as it left the warehouse. IN PERFECT CONDITION

I can't complaint Review by Rick

I got my 42" a year a go and it was my first HDTV. The reason I picked VIZIO was, price, features and size...
For a little over $700 I get good quality picture... I have Blu Ray player and it really makes my neighbors envy my VIZIO when they spent so much on a Bravia. I do however hate the fact that my remote has all the numbers warned out in less than a year. Other than that, I will be getting a bigger (VIZIO) screen with 120H for my room... Great job VIZIO!

My 42" Vizio Review by Reggie

Got my Vizio about 2 years ago. I love the picture and I have hooked up a 5 speaker surround system that really makes it rock. It has all the hook ups in the back that lets me hook up a security system.I do wish the user manual explains more about some of the setting.

Best tv.. Review by D

This tv has been amazing. I bought it in July 2007 and since then it has moved with me from Wyoming all the way to florida from new place to new place.. It has an amazing picture.. It has paid for its self over and over again.. It uses less power than my old 32" CRT. and its 10" bigger.. The HD is awesome.. and the price was even better.. I will never buy any other tv but VIZIO again. I love it. keep up the good work VIZIO..
