The Bottom Line	With picture quality decent enough to satisfy most viewers, the affordable, fully featured Vizio GV42L HDTV is one of the best values among big-screen LCDs.	The Vizio L42 HDTV leads the affordable big-screen LCD charge while managing to produce a perfectly acceptable picture.	The Vizio GV42LF HDTV maintains the balance between competitive pricing and good performance.	Sure, it has a few flaws, but nothing fatal prevents the local dimming, LED-backlit Vizio VF551XVT from exhibiting excellent LCD picture quality for the buck.	The Vizio SV470XVT represents a viable alternative for LCD TV bargain hunters who want 120Hz processing.
