| The Bottom Line | The low-buck, high-value Vizio VP42HDTV deftly avoids most of the picture-quality pitfalls of inexpensive plasmas. | The Vizio L42 HDTV leads the affordable big-screen LCD charge while managing to produce a perfectly acceptable picture. | Discerning viewers won't be satisfied with its home-theater performance, but nobody can deny that the Vizio P42HDTV is a great bargain for casual TV watching. | The Vizio VP422 is a 42-inch plasma with a rock-bottom price tag and picture quality that, while certainly not perfect, should satisfy casual viewers. | The Vizio SV470XVT represents a viable alternative for LCD TV bargain hunters who want 120Hz processing. |
