SV421XVT

Product Review (submitted on November 10, 2009):

My family has enjoyed our Vizio LCD HDTV for years, and it's never let us down, so when it came time for me to pick up a HDTV for my parents, Vizio was the obvious way to go.

Although we had no reason to believe that the unit would be anything but completely reliable, purchasing through Costco - which extends the warranty to two years - provided us with additional peace of mind (and a great price). Vizio certainly selected a spectacular retail partner in Costco.

Thanks to Vizio's innovative packaging and clear labeling, it took about two minutes to have the TV up and running. Once the cable box became active, we were treated to a stunning picture and clear (if not exceptionally loud) sound. With some of the high-definition nature channels, it's as if you're looking out a window. The beautiful, backlit remote is straightforward and comprehensive.

Watching sporting events on this TV is treat - there is absolutely no blurring or "trails" no matter how fast the action gets. DVD playback is spectacular; I can't wait to see the picture from Vizio's Blu-Ray player when I get it for my parent this holiday season.

In sum, this is an excellent HDTV for a compelling price, sold by a manufacturer/retailer pairing that stands behind the product. You need look no further than this Vizio at your local Costco.
