Vizio SV420XVT

LCD HDTVs that feature fast, 120-Hz frame-refresh technology produce a picture with improved clarity and detail when compared with standard 60Hz LCDs, which update the screen half as often. The 42-inch Vizio SV420XVT ($1,399.99 list) is one of the most...

Affordable price for cutting-edge technology. Very good picture quality once calibrated. Four HDMI ports. Bundled HDMI cable

Out-of-box color is slightly off and requires manual calibration. Occasional visual artifacts from 120-Hz technology

Despite some occasional visual quirks, the Vizio SV420XVT delivers high-performance LCD technology at an amazing price.

Vizio SV420XVT Review – 42-inch LCD HDTV

I bought this Vizio model from BJ’s last April of 2009 and it’s been over a year and a half and it’s still a beautiful HDTV, no problems with the remote either, it’s been dropped plenty of times and work’s very well, well rounded product.

First bad experience

This is the first refurbished product I have purchased that had this kind of problem. Makes me unsure of the replacement I will get, but at this point I have no other choice. I have been satisfied with Newegg in the past, but will think twice about...

This model TV seems fine. We like the picture and the features. Plenty of connections for equipment was one thing that sold us. Not so interested in the SmartTV features, but they could be good -- Netflix and other streaming video -- they do seem a...

Here's where we had problems. The unit we received was defective. It works, but the frame around the tv screen was loose on one side and there was a 1/8 inch gap. It appeared to have been installed incorrectly when refurbished. Chatted with Newegg and...

Outstanding buy

The additional price for the 3D was small enough to go for it. And I am glad I did. The kids love the size and picture for video games. It's great for movies and we watched Avatar 3D the first night and it was great. The picture is really very good.

picture is excellent, very quick to set up, delivered without any issues, 3d is a novelty but fun for blurays, sound is fine!, wireless built in is great

have not seen one yet

Second shipment

I could not review this with my first delivery as it arrived with very significant damage to the screen. I am happy to say Costco was helpful with the return process and the second unit has performed very well since arrival. I have not tried the 3D...

Wicked Cool

I have a 3D projector so I'm old hat with 3D. I was surprised at the vivid image and love the movie screen glasses rather than the powered glasses. But you pay a price - you have to be directly in front of it or you get ghost images. But so what? The...

low cost, vivid pricture

must be directly in front

Great Quality to Price Ratio!

I love the new Television!! The internet apps are great, now I can watch my sports and tweet about them at the same time, and not miss a second of the action! The remote keyboard was a nice feature, and the 3D (I feel) looks better than active glasses...

3d is great. no eye strain., internet apps are a nice addition, smooth picture

I recommend this television

I read some of the other reviews before purchasing this tv. I also compared it to the other tv's at my local Costco and I gotta say the brightness and clarity were even better than the Samsung LED tv. Sure it's not as slim but it works great. There was...

contrast, clarity, easy setup, energy efficient, all around good television, internet apps are cool and easy

startup takes a few seconds, netflix takes a minute to setup
