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.

Review: Vizio SV420M HDTV

 

The Vizio SV420M 42-inch HDTV offers lots of customization options and average video quality, at a midrange price.

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

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

Vizio also touts the set as exceeding Energy Star 3 requirements, and in our tests we found that it did fall on the lower end of power consumption

As with all the LCD sets here, the Vizio operates at a refresh rate of 120 Hz. And as such, it offers its own aptly named motion-smoothing feature: Smooth Motion. It has two separate adjustments: Smooth Mode Effect and Real Cinema. If the set receives...

Vizio SV420M Review – 42-inch LCD HDTV

 

Vizio SV420M LCD TV. This is indeed a good-looking product from Vizio. It is a slim black bezel with the Vizio name inscribed at the bottom of the set. A review suggests that the Vizio SV420M has 1080p resolution. This will allow for excellent picture...

There are 8 times more high definition inputs which also includes 4 HDMI connections. This is quite a number of inputs which will make your Vizio SV420M the most “connected”. There is also an integrated tuner which will grasp the incoming free signals...

Vizio smart tv

 

Pretty good overall. I bought this tv for my 4 seasons room, and so far it works well. Wifi signal is good even though its located outside away from my router. For the size of my room, I could've went a bit bigger, but overall a nice tv.

Most awesome LCD on the market!

 

This was the perfect TV for my bedroom! Love, love, love the smart apps, HULU, Pandora, etc. Set up was a breeze! When you set it up for the first time, turn off back lighting/ambient lighting for the BEST picture you've ever seen! It's a keeper and...
