Great TV - but of all the stupid idiotic retro designs - WHY would they use an amber glow to their logo on the face of the TV? Had I known of that, it might have been enough to send me in another direction for a Mfg. Why would they choose amber when there are so many other colors available?

Review 2 for VIZIO 42" Class LCD 1080p 60Hz HDTV, E421VO
Bought this TV to mount on the wall in my bedroom. TV was extremely easy to set up, and I do recommend doing your own picture settings since the initial setting is okay, but TV is capable of better if you put in a couple minutes using the menul and video set up under the menu. It has an excellent picture once I adjusted it, and I found the sound quality to be satisfactory for use in my master bedroom. For the price ($378 at the time) it was a real steal since other places had similar TVs for way over $400.

Beautiful Picture!!!

I had initially purchased a 42 in LCD Sanyo for $398 and was disappointed with the picture: I had to mess around with the contrast and brightness and whatever and that got tiresome pretty quick. I too did alot of research, so one day. I was speaking with an associate at Walmart and he suggested the Visio because of the sound quality and contrast which was 100,000 to 1, the Sanyo was 4,000 to 1. Boy what a difference!!!
I don't have HD with my cable set up, but the digital channels show a brilliant, beautiful picture. In the menu, I can decide what kind of picture I want, i.e. movie, game, basketball, vivid, etc. It features tru surround and sounds wonderful, it can get very, very loud! (because you know i had to turn it up loud to test it, not to just annoy my noisy neighbors, LOL).
YouTube, Netflix, all of that shows well on this tv. My DVD's look great as well as my still pics which i view through my computer. I am thrilled that this set has VGA, but I will be purchasing a smaller tv to use as a monitor, because the tv is "large" and somewhat overwhelming when youa re viewing Microsoft Office. . Love it, love it, love it.
True I purchased it in the middle of January, but my sister has had her for over 3 years and no problems and they watch it everynight, so perhaps I will have the same luck! I never buy warranties: my VCR, remember those?) lasted almost 19 years, the CD player and Kenwood Stereo bought around the same time is still running, (crossing fingers). Clapping hands, applauding for this really cool tv.

Review 5 for VIZIO 42" Class LCD 1080p 60Hz HDTV, E421VO
SOUND QUALITY IS VERY DISAPPOINTING. BACKGROUND NOISE SUCH AS A CROWD AT SPORTING EVENTS OR BACKGROUND MUSIC IN A PROGRAM DROWN OUT THE VOICES. THE HD PICTURE IS NOT ALL THAT MUCH BETTER THAN THE OLD CLUNKER 27" PANASONIC TV THAT THIS TV REPLACED. FOR THE PRICE I PAID, $425.00 I GUESS I CAN'T COMPLAIN TOO MUCH.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TV WITH RESERVATIONS.

Review 8 for VIZIO 42" Class LCD 1080p 60Hz HDTV, E421VO
This is our third VIZIO HDTV we purchased from Walmart and the picture quality and sound is fabulous. After a lot of researching online and in stores, this was the only TV that had the surround sound built in the front of the TV. There is no need to purchase a sound bar or speakers because the sound is very clear without having to turn the volume up high. We actually purchased this product for my mother who has hearing aids and she loves it. The price was fabulous compared to other retailers. I would definitely recommend a VIZIO for anyone who is searching for an LCD HDTV.

Vizio Is Getting Really Good I Must Say

Ive had my Vizio 42" inch for about close to a month and all I have connected to mine is Cable TV no games and computers and all that I think sometimes those things burn your tv out a tad bit faster...my personnal opion...but this tv is extremely nice and its big perfect for a living room or entertainment room. The picture quality is excellent once you adjust it to your specifications. Its big and bold and makes its own statement and if you have hi definition it really shows nice. I would highly recommend this tv so much. Vizio TV"s have seem to become better and beteer from when they first came out they have definitely improved on thier quality of televisions. So who knows maybe next year if the price is right like this one I'll get a 50" inch...well see..But so far this tv is EXCELLENT!!!

Review 11 for VIZIO 42" Class LCD 1080p 60Hz HDTV, E421VO
It was so easy to order and the instructions were easy enough for anyone to follow. I was very pleased with the timing. I ordered and the product was available that same day for pick-up in the store. I had reviewed the tv's in the store and knew that the Vizio tv is a good product with great color and picture quality...I did not know that our's was going to give up the ghost so soon though. Therefore when ours went out I decided to try ordering online. Super way to go!

Cheap TV

I bought this TV 3 years ago and it is soooo cheap. While wiping it to clean the screan the TV got scratched. After only 2 years there would be a large black line about 4 inch wide and all the way up the screen. For about 6 months you could turn the TV on and off and it would go away but now its done and stays on there. I have never had a TV that only lasted a couple years. I still have 2 other smaller TV's that are like 16 years and older that still work great. These things are made soooo cheaply and are not worth it. I will never buy a VIZIO ever again. I paid 700 dollars for this piece of junk 3 years ago but never again.

Not good for USB movies, Media APP no good

Vizio Media App no good! Locks up when browsing directories, can not tag more then one file, does not Play MKV and some AVI"S give you a codec error.. If you want to play these files your better off with a WD LIVE TV box for 90 bucks and then you can get a cheaper TV (non Smart) WD Live box does everything even has Wi-Fi!

Review 17 for VIZIO 42" Class LCD 1080p 60Hz HDTV, E421VO
I wasn't able to read or see how many device ports are available on this model (E421V0) when I seen it on the website. I had hoped it would allow me to connect more than one device at a time. Thus the AVERAGE RATING. Otherwise it is a great 2nd or a better 3rd TV to own. The set up instructions were very simple and easy to follow. I think this model is great for someone who dosen't need or want a TV that accepts more than one device. Which is a perfect gift for the person I bought this unit for.
