My wife and I bought this TV at Walmart for $548. It is our first HDTV. We looked at a lot of them in various stores. I did a considerable amount of research and we finally decided on this one. Thought about a 120HZ model but didn't want to spend the extra money. It fits our budget and we are very satisfied with the quality and functionality. Don't have a blu-ray player yet but have watched standard DVDs with component video connection and picture quality is very very good. Streamed a Netflix movie or two in from our PC via HDMI cable and have viewed a considerable amount of satellite and over-the-air programming for the last month or so. Both standard def and HD picture quality, very nice. The volume leveling function is not perfect but it does help quite a bit. Sound with built-in speakers is good. Menus are user friendly and easy to navigate. Overall we are very pleased and would recommend this product to others.

This review is from: Vizio E420VO 42 42-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Black (Electronics)
I ordered this TV after hours of
reseaching the different brands of Flat Screen LCD (and plasma) TV's. I
chose this one based on the excellent reviews that the professional
reviewers gave it. Their main comment was that it was a good value for
the price. It has a lot of options that you would expect on higher end
TV's. It was very easy to hook up too. I'm a 5 foot lady whose husband
was out of town when it was delivered. It wasn't too hard or heavy for
me to unpack and hook up. Another good thing is that I have not had to
use the instruction book at all yet. The buttons on the remote are easy
to understand when trying to access different features of the TV.
One thing that seems small, but is something I really like is that when
you hit the 'on' button, the Vizio logo changes from white to orange so
you know the TV received the signal. It only takes a couple seconds for
the screen to display, but you could actually turn it back off thinking
you didn't hit the button right without that signal.
