SV421XVT

Product Review (submitted on May 1, 2010):

Okay, okay, I will admit, no one was more skeptical about buying a Vizio than I was. After literally a year of researching and comparing all the major (and minor) brands, I finally made a Vizio purchase, a 42” 240Hz LCD through Dell.com at a spectacular price, only $699! I must say, I am convinced! The picture is absolutely amazing! We don’t have cable, only local channels…most broadcasted in HD. We were truly amazed at the sharpness and colors. Even non-HD programs look great.

As for movies, I purchased a Sony Blu-ray DVD player prior to the TV purchase and, as expected, DVD movies live up to the hype. Have not played any actual Blu-ray movies yet, but I’m sure they will meet my expectations as well. And for video games, the Wii games look much better than standard TV (although I’m aware that Wii graphics are not comparable to either Xbox or PS3). Overall, we are quite pleased with our purchase and would recommend it to others.
