VIZIO VX42L - 42" LCD TV - widescreen - 720p - HDTV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my first HD television.I know, it's about time!Well, I didn't want to spend $5,000 for a TV set.A friend told us about this set at Sam's Club that was on sale for less than $900.We compared it to other brands and were amazed at the clarity and sharpness.Side by side with other sets, LCD and plasma, the picture on this Vizio set was in the top of the pack.

When we got it home, we couldn't wait to see it in action in our living room.After unpacking our new HD DVD player and a new HD DVD disc, we were finally able to see it under actual home viewing conditions.The first thing that we noticed was that the new TV, out of the box, needed color, contrast, brightness, and tint adjustments.So, for about 30 minutes we tweaked, adjusted, and scrutinized the adjustments until they were almost perfect.

Although my wife and I are in our early 50s and our eyesight isn't as great as it once was, I found the optimum viewing distance to be closer than I had thought; about 12 feet works better than 16 feet.This makes the set ideal for most bedrooms and living rooms.

One of the more impressive technical features is the myriad of input connections that are available on the set, including two HDMI inputs.You can even use it as a computer monitor!

I am sure that there are bigger and better sets out there, but for the price it is a fantastic value ($897).We saved enough to buy the HD DVD player, some HD Video discs, and upgrade our DirecTv system to HD.
