SV422XVT **FREE SHIPPING**

Product Review (submitted on April 27, 2010):

I already had a 32" Toshiba hdtv that I thought needed replaced (needless to say, it was just locked up). We had bought my father-in-law a Vizio for xmas last year, so we knew the picture was good & price reasonable. After searching all other stores & prices, we found the SV422XVT at Costco for $850. Not only was this good for other 42" tv's, but this was for 240, not 60hz. Plus Costco automatically gave a 2yr warranty, & everyone else only 1 yr.
After getting home & setup, we found this was much, much better than expected. The picture on this is incredible due to the smooth-motion reduction. It makes everything stand out & increases the clarity way beyond hi-definition. It looks like you are actually filming movies/tv shows & not just watching. It actually is too real. Some movies you thought were great, & now look like b-movies due to the clarity. You can see how they used models & the special effects (if this gets too intense, just turn off the motion reduction). My brother came over & stated after just a brief glance "it's like watching it thru a window". That is the best response I could give it.
The apps are cool, but a little limited. The yahoo apps give only brief info & not able to read the entire articles. Downloaded some trailers & great to not have to use something else like a blu-ray player to see them or movies. It would be nice to add a basic browser to go to the sites we want.
Needless to say, after we realized our Toshiba didn't have a problem, there was no way in the world we would take our Vizio back!
