Pros-
This telly was really a snap to set up. It has ample inputs (4 HDMI) for hooking up all manner of techno whiz-bangs. I have found it to have an excellent picture with color reproduction as good or better than lcd's costing several hundred dollars more and the black levels are pretty good for an lcd as well. And the sound, both quality and volume, are far better than any other flat panel television that I've checked out. The remote is functional, neither impressive or disappointing. As another reviewer already noted, the menu system could be a little easier to navigate. But on the up-side, in that menu system you will find settings for absolutely everything, allowing you to tweak the picture and sound to your liking. Also, it is a 1080p resolution although you're not likely to notice it on a 42 inch screen. But 1080p costs about as much as 720p does these days, so why not get it?
Cons-
My only complaint is the 120hz "smooth motion". Images moving slowly across the screen or during a slow camera pan are smoothed considerably. This is especially noticeable while watching something film based. However, the technology that Vizio uses to accomplish this isn't very good at handling fast moving images. Something moving quickly across the screen will have a halo around it with images in the immediate background appearing distorted. Worse yet, during a quick camera pan the entire screen appears to stutter and jump. With a 60hz television, especially when watching film based content originally in 24 frames per second, you expect a little jerkiness during a quick camera pan. But the smooth motion settings on this tv actually make that jerkiness worse, so I usually leave it turned off.
Conclusion-
The 120hz thing is pretty useless on this tv, and a selling gimmick on most all lcd's that have it in my opinion. But you can turn it off. And when you do, you have a 60hz flat screen that meets or beats almost every other lcd flat screen out there in terms of picture and sound quality. The fact that this television can be had for several hundred less than comparable models from companies like Samsung, Sony, Sharp, and LG makes it that much better of a deal. I'd recommend this Vizio to anyone looking to buy a flat screen. Buy Vizio 42" 1080p LCD Full 120Hz HDTV (SV420XVT1A)!
