Excellent Picture and resolution

Pros: excellent picture and resolution 4 hdmi ports
Cons: sound really needs a soundbar
Model Number: E420VA
"As with almost every LCD or LCD/LED HD TV, the built in sound is not good. I also picked up the Vizio sound-bar and that was all I needed (great price!). I also have it hooked up to my stereo, but that's more for blu-ray movies. Have had absolutely no problems for 7 1/2 months. 4 HDMI ports make setup a snap."

Wouldn't buy again

"We bought this Vizio a couple of years ago because the picture looked good in the store and the price was great. But over time it hasn't been a well functioning TV.
At least once a month the sound won't work or the sound will work and the picture won't come on when you turn the TV on and you have to turn it off at the power source and restart it. I'd recommend spending a little more and getting a different brand.

Great flat screen

Model Number: E422VA
"Beautiful picture, easy to hang, and complete with access to online services with wireless built in. Great value. We were looking at the 37" but moved up to the 42" because it was complete. Only issue was that we found it the next day on line (we bought in store) for $40.00 less. Will call Monday to see what that is all about."
