The Bottom Line	CNET did not review the Vizio SV420XVT, but we did review a larger model in the series.	The Vizio SV470XVT represents a viable alternative for LCD TV bargain hunters who want 120Hz processing.		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 commendable picture quality of Sony's entry-level 120Hz-equipped LCD makes it a very good value.
