Vizio E420VL

Like most TV makers, Vizio offers a wide variety of features at different price points. The E0VL series reviewed here lacks the Internet and LED backlight options of the company's flagship XVT3 series , but its spec sheet and price tag hold the real...

Inexpensive for a 120Hz LCD; excellent color in bright areas; video processing handles 1080p/24 correctly; matte screen works well in bright lighting; solid picture adjustment options.

Reproduces relatively bright black levels; dark areas tinged blue; subpar off-angle viewing; benefits of 120Hz difficult to discern; fewer picture controls than some competitors; scarce analog inputs; ho-hum styling.

Among the least expensive 120Hz LCDs available, the Vizio E0VL series delivers a decent picture but falls a bit short of competitors.

Vizio VT420M 42-Inch LCD

The Vizio VT420M (The Vizio VT420M ($1000 as of 12/9/09) is one of Vizio000 as of 12/9/09) is one of Vizio's more expensive 42-inch, 1080p, 120Hz LCD HDTVs, but it's still a moderately priced set for its class and feature set. In most respects it's a...

Good picture and sound quality ; Pause Live TV feature

Lacks some advanced controls ; Awkward USB media playback interface

Though other HDTVs offer more extras and options, the Vizio VT420M performs best where it matters most: image quality.

Vizio VO420E 42-inch LCD

The Vizio VO42E ($750 as of October 1) is one of the least expensive 42-inch LCD HDTV sets that Vizio offers. It's also one of the lowest priced on the market--which might explain why it performed below average in our juried image quality tests. While...

A decent selection of customization options ; Very inexpensive

No personal media playback or Internet features ; Sub-par image quality and mediocre audio

The no-frills Vizio VO420E is attractively priced, but you have to settle for sub-par image quality and mediocre audio.

Vizio SV420M 42-inch LCD

The Vizio SV420M ($1000 as of 10/1/09) isn't the least-expensive HDTV in Vizio's current 42-inch lineup. But this 42-inch, 120Hz, 1080p LCD model won't break the bank either, and it delivers midrange image quality and excellent usability, plus one...

Lots of presets and customization options ; Picture-in-picture from two video sources

Remote can't be programmed for other components ; No Internet or external-media support

The Vizio SV420M HDTV offers lots of customization options and average video quality, at a midrange price.

Vizio VO370M LCD HDTV Review - Intro

The Vizio VO370M is part of Vizio's new line of mid-range HDTVs. The television offers a full 1080p resolution with a 37-inch LCD display. There aren't a lot of extras available here, for example there's no media playback from a USB port as you see on...

The Vizio VO370M is a cheap TV, and this means that it involves compromises. $600 for a 37-inch HDTV is a very good price, but the compromise you make is lackluster performance in some respects. The main compromises are the weak blacks and the...

Vizio SV370XVT LCD HDTV First Impressions Review - Intro

The SV370XVT is the 37-inch option in Vizio's new line-up. Although this LCD looks to be an entry level set, it has some impressive specs: 1080p, 120Hz, and multimedia playback via its USB port. The unit is still in its preproduction phases, which...

The Vizio SV320XVT looks to be an entry-level model with a few specs and features we don't typically see in an entry-level set. From a spec sheet, this is an impressive 37-inch TV: its capable of 1080p, has a 120Hz refresh rate and comes equipped with...

VF550XVT

The Vizio VF550XVT isn't much of a bargain, despite the reasonable $1800 price tag (as of April 16, 2009). Assorted problems with image quality, weak sound, and clumsy menus, along with a lack of interesting features, make this set difficult to recommend.

Remote well backlit Has picture-in-picture

Configuration menus are confusing Unimpressive sound

In my experience, Vizio TVs usually deliver very good pictures at a reasonable price, but I was quite disappointed by the VF550XVT's performance. Let's hope it proves to be an aberration

Remote well backlit ; Has picture-in-picture

Configuration menus are confusing ; Unimpressive sound

The Vizio VF550XVT carries a reasonable price, but its image, sound, and extra features don't add up to a very good HDTV.
