 Football games won't be the same! December 3, 2009

I upgraded my 120hz Vizio to this model for my family room and can't believe the clearity! The colors are crisp, the picture is 2nd to none. You can actually see the laces on a football while in the air on a spiral. For the difference in price from the 120 to the 240hz spend it! I did and have 0 regrets. The best TV I've ever watched mutchless in my own home!
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.
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.
Love this TV! January 6, 2010

This TV has been precisely what I wanted. I did a LOT of research before purchasing this TV, and kept coming back to Vizio. My brother-in-law has an older Vizio plasma, and I was always impressed with it, so I initially looked at Vizio's anyway, but wanting to make sure I did my due-diligence, I studied just about everything I could. Even ignoring the prices of different TVs, I kept coming back to the Vizio brand based on the quality reviews I heard/read, and the technical offerings for each of their products. Once you add in the relatively low prices for Vizios compared to anything else on the market, it became a no-brainer.
I was a bit skeptical about ordering an HDTV over the internet, but everything worked out perfectly. The delivery guys even helped get it out of the box and up onto my TV stand. It has worked perfectly so far since day one, and we use it quite heavily. My wife had foot surgery the same week the TV was delivered, so she was off her feet, and spent a lot of time with the TV on the first few weeks, and yet we've had not one single problem yet.
The only complaint I have with this unit has to do with Sound. The built-in speakers themselves are just fine, and have good volume. But I have a surround sound stereo system, and getting the two synched up was VERY difficult at first. Ultimately, it came down to adjusting some settings in the stereo, and nothing was necessarily the TVs fault, so this is quite likely something that might be experienced with all HDTVs (never had this problem with my old SDTV). At first, we were having a lot of lag issues with the stereo not matching up with the TV signal, or with Blu-rays/DVDs. Now that we've got it sorted out, everything sounds great. I do have to leave the TVs internal speakers turned off though, as they are still just slightly out-of-sync with the stereo system. But the stereo pushes enough sound that it really makes no difference.
Overall, I'm SO pleased with this purchase, and highly recommend this TV.

I just got this tv delivered from amazon today, and my mind has been properly blown. Granted, I was switching to this from a standard tube set, but this tv is incredible. I looked around a lot before the purchase and was weary at first, but I'm very happy I went with this tv. I went with the 3 year extended warranty to add peace of mind, and still saved money compared to other brands. I'm sold on Vizio.
