5 out of 5 stars 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!


5 out of 5 stars 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.



5 out of 5 stars 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.

Purchased this model last week on line through amazon.The carrier delivered it to my address quickly and the box was in great shape.Good news for those use to UPS or FEDEX,and worried about a unknown shipping company.
Depending upon your cable provider you might need a Digital HD box, but Time Warner supplied me one in a day and adjusted it, to ease my beginners luck experience.
It comes attached to its stand right out of the box so for me that was a big yes.
There is a smell to the unit as noted by other customers, but It is almost gone at this point, and for me it was like almost any new smell.
Using the HDMI cable, makes the cable box, and dvd player setup a breeze, literally in a minute or two.
The picture is awesome, and playing with the sound and equalizer resulted in great sound with little or no learning curve.Plus the remote makes it easy to fool around if you need to adjust it.
The colors are very exciting and again with the remote tweaking them is simple, and stable between different stations.
The 42" is a perfect size without taking over the whole space, and the viewing area is very good for wide screen viewing too.
I did some research before going for this model, and I will recommend this to any family.
Best Regards
