The Bottom Line The decent picture quality and excellent feature set of the VX32L HDTV make good on Vizio's bang-for-the-buck promise. 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. Samsung's PNB650 series can't quite match the best plasmas on the market, but it comes close enough to offer a viable alternative. The high-end Panasonic TC-PV10 series of plasmas delivers the overall best picture quality of any flat-panel HDTV we've tested so far this year.
