 Solid Purchase February 25, 2010
Colter H (Arlington, VA)
Overall I would consider this TV a solid investment. While it may not have the newest LED technology or sport a fancier name (Sony, Samsung, Pioneer), the setup was super easy, the sound quality is solid, the picture quality is great (especially for sports), and the packaging is stylish. You can't ask for much more for under $900 these days.
 Can't beat it for the price. February 16, 2010

I purchased the Vizio SV421VXT from Amazon on February 6th, got it on February 12th. That's six days, and it didn't move for one of them due to bad weather. You'll see some complaints around about the shipping company for large items (CEVA) but I had no issues at all with them. Delivery company called, I told them I was at work, but could be home at any time for them to deliver, they just brought it to my work instead (at my request). This may not be an option for some, but it worked out great for me since I didn't have to take any time off from work to have it delivered. However, this review is for the TV, not the delivery company.
The set works great. I upgraded from a 27" CRT television to this 42" LCD, and obviously, the difference is stunning. We don't have HDTV yet, but even my standard definition Dish Network looks pretty good, as does my regular DVD player over S-Video. Blu-Ray and games on my PS3 look simply amazing. I find the sound quality to be very good without external speakers, but my living room is on the small side (the seating is about 8' from the TV)
Probably the only complaint I could say about this TV yet is that the cable they provide to hook to the wall so it won't fall over (if you aren't wall mounting) is kind of unsightly. However, most people probably won't use it, and this is a very minor detail. I just used it because, for one, this is a big purchase for me and I don't want to take any chances, and we have two cats that like to climb on top of the TV where it's warm...I don't think they could even lay on top of this TV, but I'm sure they will try.
I did months of research on HDTVs before settling on this model from Vizio. Overall, I found that no matter which TV you look at, there are negative reviews. Given that, no matter which TV I purchased, I would have gotten an extended warranty to cover it in case I got one of the bad ones. With the Vizio, I was able to get a quality set with the extended warranty for less that I could have gotten a bigger name brand without the extended warranty.
Of note to anyone that is looking at 240Hz, Vizio uses a different technology to achieve 240Hz than does Sony. I'm not saying this makes it better or worse, because I haven't compared them, but take that into consideration.
Amazing HD picture February 14, 2010

I thought long and hard about making this purchase. I even saw the same exact t.v. at Costco for a slightly less price but had to factor in the tax and labor of taking it home. The better deal was with Amazon with free shipping, no tax and having it set up by the delivery guys. It was nice to see the t.v. at Costco and the picture quality. I think the picture quality is even better at home. So for the price that I got at Amazon and the ease of delivery and set up, I am extremely happy with my purchase. I believe the sound is clear and crisp. It also has the feature where the commercials will come on at a softer level but I don't use it because of my Tivo. My Tivo doesn't make that annoying sound with the fast forward or rewind which is another bonus with this T.V. The H.D. quality is amazing and I had H.D. before on my previous Visio set. It must have to do with the speed I think. All in all, one of my best purchases with Amazon.
An excellent HDTV in its class February 8, 2010

I purchased this 42" 240hz LCD TV from costco, during a sale event lately for only $699. It is of the same price to the 120hz model, thus I went for this one.
The picture quality is superb. I really cannot distinquish it from those of the other high end name brands. The set up is like a breeze. The interface to HDMI is very easy to use. It plays the fast motion scene smoothly. Watching the HD channels on this TV is a blown away experience. The only complaint is that its manual does not explain the lack of caption through HDMI input at all. It took me some research online to control the caption from the cable box.
The sound quality from the speaker is so so. I probably will add a sound bar to enhance it.
I have owned it too short to comment on the durability of the product. Only time can tell if its quality control is trustworthy.
If it does last, the price is really a bargain, given the quality of the picture. I rather save the price premium from the name brand TV for buying another newer generation TV later than to get one which lasts forever.
Overall a great tv. February 8, 2010

My only disappointment is that two weeks after I bought it from Amazon Sam's dropped the price on them $150. This TV has a great picture. As others have said this tv smelled funny for about the first two weeks. The only other issue I have had is when I hook a computer up to it sometimes it takes a couple of tries before it recognizes the connection. It is the best TV on the market for the money.
