I've had this TV for a 1 1/2 months now and it has been amazing. The picture quality is outstanding - the only way you are going to get better picture is to buy an LED TV, but those have their downside as well.

The built-in speakers are very weak and the audio level sometimes fluctuates a bit. That being said, if you hook it up to an external sound system you won't need the built-in speakers.

This TV works extremely well with my cable box, DVD player and even my Nintendo Wii.

Highly recommended.
Did everything I wanted it to do.

Was going to get a phillips tv but was sold out so I looked at the vizio. build quality looked solid and everything worked as it should. Havent had any issues thus far. Only thing that will ever show that the tv was cheaper then normal is the manual with its cheap photos but thats nothing to complain about.

Also to fix the change in volume from the speakers turn off the srs true volume. It tends to over correct the volume and thus creates the random volume levels.
Excellent TV

Great picture. No dead pixels. I do think 120hz makes a difference in motion.

Now that I've got the vt420m, I wish I'd bought the VT470m instead.
Love my new Vizio

My Vizio 42" HDTV is just the right size for my living room. Picture quality is excellent for HD programs and very good on others. I purchased a Vizio soundbar and sub-woofer to provide a fuller sound, and I am very satisfied with the results. I had planned to purchase a Sony Bravia, but it has a lot more features that I didn't need and didn't want to pay for. I'm happy with my Vizio.
VT420M Solid price/performance

My old Sony Trinitron XBR finally died and I needed an affordable new TV. This Vizio fit the bill nicely. I picked it up from Walmart for $698.

The picture is crisp and clear, no blurring is apparent and black levels appear excellent in our living room. I haven't used the onboard sound so I'm uncertain how that is.

I've had the TV for only about two weeks, but everyone in my home is thrilled with it. It's connected to FIOS HD via a Yamaha receiver that supports HDMI. With the money that I saved, I bought a Panasonic Blu-ray with internet connectivity.

Very easy to setup, lightweight, reasonably well balanced on its stand.
VIZIO vt420m great bang for your buck

I tried really hard to find a comparable difference between SONY , SAMSUNG, VIZIO on tvs under 800 dollars. I couldn't find one. I stared at all three televisions for 45 minutes straight...not a considerable difference. For the money, you can't go wrong. its the right balance of size, picture quality and price. I hooked up my ps3 to compare the quality between this tv and a 46" xbr from SONY. I was shocked to see that this tv had by far produced a better picture (although the sony is 2 years old). Audio is poor and does fluctuate from time to time. I've had it for a month and cant say that I've seen any green lines or issues. If you wan't a television under 1000 dollars, i would highly recommend you take a look at this vizio. I don't think vizio can hold a candle when it gets to the higher priced tv's, but when it competes in this price range...it excels
First Visio, not bad at all.

This is my first LCD and first Visio. I must say it is all I expected in an LCD. This VT420M satisfies my thirst for viewing movies at home. It doesn't have a whole lot of bells and whistles, but the picture is awesome.
