CNET editors' take

Reviewed by:
CNET staff
Reviewed on: 08/21/2008

Although CNET did not review the 42-inch Vizio SV420XVT, we did review the 47-inch Vizio SV470XVT. Judging from their spec sheets the two Vizio flat-panel LCDs are basically identical but for screen size, so we expect the review of the 47-inch model to give a good indication of how the 42-inch model will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the Vizio SV470XVT.
