Vizio LCD 42 TV 1080p Full 120Hz HD Reviews
"This TV provides great capabilities for hooking up equipment... 4 HDMI's, 2 Component Video's, S Video, VGA, and importantly (for me) an Audio out. I like to run my audio from the TV to my surround sound system. The Magnavox that I returned didn't have audio out and fewer of everything else.
Setup was very easy. I had a picture on it in 5 minutes after removing the TV from the box. Overall quality of the build is much, much superior to the Magnavox and I would rate it first class.
The picture is absolutely amazing. It almost appears to be 3D. Sound from the built-in speakers is actually pretty good. I'm extremely happy with everything about this TV."
VIZIO LCD 42 TV 1080p Review
"This is a better than average set. The feature set is excellent 4xHDMI etc.
Compared to the VU42 (which we had also), this has a nicer picture and much more control through the menus for Picture and Sound tweaking.
The HDMI worked perfectly with our laptops and good screen controls allows you to adjust margins to use the full screen.
I've had many HD sets over the years, for the money this is a good deal.
Tuner Tip: In our area, Cable doesn't scramble many digital channels, but many are just sound, duplicates or unwanted. This set seems to have a cap of 500+ channels, because while we could tune in more channels, The Channel skip did not show them. But this set has "Partial channel search", which allowed us to manually seek ranges of channels and customize the channels the way we wanted. The VU did not have this and forced us to flip through 50 or so "bad" channels with no way to remove them."
