Enjoy HDTV to the fullest on this advanced model. It features a tuner that receives both ATSC digital channels, including HDTV broadcasts where available, and NTSC analog channels. The digital tuner also has QAM demodulation so it can receive unscrambled digital cable channels. A full complement of video connections, including three HDMI inputs, and audio outputs are provided. And the detachable stand allows it to be wall-mounted with an optional wall mount kit (not included). Note: You must have a source of HD programming in order to take full advantage of an HDTV. Otherwise, the picture quality of an HDTV without an HD source may not be much better than that of a standard-definition TV. Please contact your local cable or satellite TV provider for details on how to upgrade to HD programming.

I got the vizio and the rca surround sound package deal and it has been great. I listen to regular t.v. and dvds in surround sound and it sounds great. This is a grat package deal.

Review 2 for Vizio 42" Class Full-HD 1080p 60Hz LCD HDTV w/ Digital Tuner, VW42LF

Purchased this after weeks of research. Very happy with the HD picture. Do yourself a favor and make sure you have access to a decent amount of HD channels (we have Direct T.v. for example)and all of our local channels are also in HD. If you don't, stick with an old picture tube tv. I know alot of people who spent twice what this costs and are not any happier despite their tv having a well known name and lighter pockets. My only complaint is not with the TV as I just hope more stations go to HD asap as non-HD is a noticable step-down in picture quality.

I have had this TV for over 2 weeks. I absolutely LOVE IT. The only thing I have connected to it is a DVD player with and upscaling capability. Otherwise it is directly connected to the cable from the wall. However I get the HD channels of the local broadcast companies, I think it is through the digital antenna receiver, or at least that is all I can think of. This is my first HDTV, but I absolutely love it. Setup was super quick. When I got the product there was a hole in the box so I made the fedex guy stay until I opened it. He even helped me take it out of the box to make sure everything was ok. The TV is super light. I was able to easily move it into position where my old super heavy tv was.
I really don't have any "tips" the TV was so simple and easy to set up it was awesome. I am extremely happy with my purchase.

I've waited a few months before writing this review to see how good this TV really is. One word, EXCELLENT! No problems at all, just a great TV for a great price. Even the non-HD channels come in clear as a bell. Digital TV tuner is great and yes it picks up the analog channels too. Sound is not the greatest but is OK & has plenty of volume. Buy it, you'll love it.
Im sorry the attached photo was not very clear, I kept shaking the camera when I pressed the button.
Thanks :)

After a long debate and researching LCD TVs this one won my vote. I'm very happy with this TV in all aspects. The picture and overall Quality is amazing. The picture and sound are better then the higher priced ones. This TV also has more ports for computer and DVD's and sound systems and so on.. I'm using the HDMI port and the quality is outstanding. I would highly recommend this LCD HD TV. They are flying off the shelves so I would recommend to get this while you can.

Well,I ve had it for about a week, and over all Im happy with my purchase. I only notice a real high quality when I watch My dvd player since thats the only one that has the HDMI cable connected for now.The regular TV is kinda disapointing I dont have HD TV YET! I bought the package with the surround sound system, very good value for the buck. I know there are better tvs out there but i set a budget and got more than what i expected for what i set aside to spend. I also hooked up the nintendo wii to it and the kids love it. This is the first big screen Ive owned so Im really happy. I did however buy an extended warranty from the manufacture since I heard things from salesmen and other consumers, hopfully I wont have any problems.

Love the light weight of TV. Set up was quick and easy. So much nicer than the old tv's.
Multiple hook-up for DVD, Stereo, Game System, VCR made things easy.
Picture quality was not as exceptional as I would have thought, but not bad. Bang for Bucks its worth every penny.

Simply stated, this TV was a great buy and has all of the features and perks of some twice the price. Hint: When connecting a true 1080p Full HD TV, don't short yourself on cables. Spend the money and get quality stuff designed for moving lots of data across those wires. Your picture will look just like it did in the store. Also get a quality surge suppression system and run your cable TV through it first before connecting to the desktop box. Cleaning filters will clean the signal. Plan on spending $75 or so for one.

We are very pleased with our purchase of a Vizio TV from Walmart. It was very easy to use the site to store feature. It saved us shipping charges. The quality of this TV is every bit as good as our previously owned Sonys. I would definintely recommend VIZIO. Love the 42" flat screen.

After much research I purchased this TV and boy am I glad I did so. The picture quality is awesome! And so was the price. I got this as a bundle with the RCA Home Theater. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a new television. I used site to store and was able to pick the merchandise up within 7 days. Set up was easy as ever. All I needed to do was take it out of the box and plug it in. Thank you Walmart!

I am very pleased with the tv, even the devices to open the box are great, just squeese the four plastic locks and the box lifts off the tv thus eliminating the possibility of dropping the tv when removing the carton. The picture and sound are very good. I didn't even think of the theatre system that came with this tv as the sound was so good. I'm into I can either hear it clearly or I can't.
