5.0 out of 5 stars Wouldnt buy any other brand, September 1, 2011
This review is from: VIZIO E421VO 42-Inch Class LCD HDTV (Electronics)
I bought this exact tv from Walmart. Never had any issues with it at all. Great picture, the sound was great for us for internal speakers, obviously if you want surround sound or theater quality get surround sound speakers. Lasted us 2 years and probably would have lasted much longer, but our son decided to swing one of my husbands golf clubs in our living room...oops! Since the prices for Vizio tvs have drastically reduced since our original purchase we can get a much larger size for the same price we originally paid! I am now shopping for the same exact tv for our bedroom, and a larger Vizio for our living room. Great brand in our opinions!

5.0 out of 5 stars Vizio surprised me., October 24, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: VIZIO E421VO 42-Inch Class LCD HDTV (Electronics)
I looked for two months at HD tv's. I wanted the best 42 inch I could get for around $550.00. Needles to say, there is a bunch of TV's that fit this criteria. They all look good in the store and all the specs are pretty much the same. Lo and behold, I saw this Vizio for 480.00 at Amazon. Crossed my fingers and took a chance. This Vizio is Great. Easy to set up, just the right amount of connections in the rear, and what a great picture. In my small dark living room, TV programs VIA antenna is super and my DVD's never looked so good, not to mention my Blu-Ray's. Fantastic. Some people might not be satisfied with only 2 HDMI plugs, but I run everything thru an AV receiver. So two HDMI is more than enough for me. I don't play video games so the 60Hz refresh rate is fine for me. I watch a lot of sports, but I have not noticed any shadows or trailer effects. I have had this set for more than a month and I have not had any problems. Don't be turned off by the low price... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars I like it!, October 24, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: VIZIO E421VO 42-Inch Class LCD HDTV (Electronics)
You can read all the technical reviews you want elsewhere. I got this TV after researching what I wanted and it fit the bill.

- 1080p HDTV
- 2 HDMI inputs
- 42" screen so I can actually SEE what's on from across the room
- LCD TV = lower usage costs than my old tube tellie
- SRS technology for easing the impact of commercials

With the Amazon TV Low Price Guarantee and free shipping with Amazon Prime, I was convinced to buy it here. Ordering and delivery was pain-free, just as I like it.

Next on the list will be the SquareTrade warranty.
