I upgraded my 120hz Vizio to this model for my family room and can’t believe the clearity! The colors are crisp, the picture is 2nd to none. You can actually see the laces on a football while in the air on a spiral. For the difference in price from the 120 to the 240hz spend it! I did and have 0 regrets. The best TV I’ve ever watched mutchless in my own home!

I did my research and did my research and this is a GREAT TV. Perfect! Easy to set up – simply remove from package and power it on! Remote Control and inputs are clearly marked and easy to use. If you need to look at the user manual, it is NOT technical so you can figure out how to hook up your computer/mp3 player or whatever!
And the delivery – I was a little nervous when I learned it would be a “carrier” and not UPS/FEDEX….but they were AWESOME! I’d buy again just for the AWESOME customer service from the carrier.

I purchased the Vizio SV421VXT from Amazon on February 6th, got it on February 12th. That’s six days, and it didn’t move for one of them due to bad weather. You’ll see some complaints around about the shipping company for large items (CEVA) but I had no issues at all with them. Delivery company called, I told them I was at work, but could be home at any time for them to deliver, they just brought it to my work instead (at my request). This may not be an option for some, but it worked out great for me since I didn’t have to take any time off from work to have it delivered. However, this review is for the TV, not the delivery company.
The set works great. I upgraded from a 27″ CRT television to this 42″ LCD, and obviously, the difference is stunning. We don’t have HDTV yet, but even my standard definition Dish Network looks pretty good, as does my regular DVD player over S-Video. Blu-Ray and games on my PS3 look simply amazing. I find the sound quality to be very good without external speakers, but my living room is on the small side (the seating is about 8′ from the TV)
Probably the only complaint I could say about this TV yet is that the cable they provide to hook to the wall so it won’t fall over (if you aren’t wall mounting) is kind of unsightly. However, most people probably won’t use it, and this is a very minor detail. I just used it because, for one, this is a big purchase for me and I don’t want to take any chances, and we have two cats that like to climb on top of the TV where it’s warm…I don’t think they could even lay on top of this TV, but I’m sure they will try.
I did months of research on HDTVs before settling on this model from Vizio. Overall, I found that no matter which TV you look at, there are negative reviews. Given that, no matter which TV I purchased, I would have gotten an extended warranty to cover it in case I got one of the bad ones. With the Vizio, I was able to get a quality set with the extended warranty for less that I could have gotten a bigger name brand without the extended warranty.
Of note to anyone that is looking at 240Hz, Vizio uses a different technology to achieve 240Hz than does Sony. I’m not saying this makes it better or worse, because I haven’t compared them, but take that into consideration.
