- Vizio VP422
- Vizio has taken aggressive pricing to a new level of low. The company's VP422, a 42-inch flat-panel plasma HDTV, can be had for the extremely low price of $799. While this set doesn't have the picture quality to qualify as the centerpiece of a home theater, it certainly could be...

- Vizio VO47LF
- As Vizio continues to prove itself capable of competing in sales against the Sonys and Samsungs of the world, the company keeps tweaking its formula of offering plenty of bang for the buck, especially in the features department. The newly designed VO47LF, a 47-inch flat-panel LCD, has four HDMI inputs...

- Vizio GV52LF
- Every time Vizio enters a new screen-size category with its flat-panel HDTVs, the company seems to break a new price barrier in the process. The 52-inch GV52LF is another case in point. It's the first 1080p LCD we've seen at this size to dip below $2,000--provided you have the appropriate...

- Vizio VU42LF HDTV
- We have not reviewed the Vizio VU42LF, but we have reviewed a Vizio TV that's very similar. The Vizio GV42LF costs a bit more than the VU42LF, but they share the same picture elements and so should exhibit identical picture-quality characteristics. The GV42LF also has detachable speakers, virtual surround sound,...

- Vizio GV42LF HDTV
- Vizio has sold a lot of HDTVs by undercutting the competition's pricing with key technologies at popular screen sizes. The GV42LF is another example, bringing 1080p resolution to a 42-inch screen at a price that's tough to beat. As usual, we found a lot to like about the GV42LF's picture,...

- Vizio VP50HDTV
- As you can see by reading user opinions on CNET, most people who buy an HDTV, any HDTV, are thrilled with their purchase. They cite numerous reasons, but one of the most common, at least for buyers of Vizio TVs and other bargain brands, is value. The VP50HDTV, for example,...

- ViewSonic N3235w
- For the last three years, we've rated ViewSonic's 32-inch LCD HDTVs as relatively good performers for the price point, and the company's newest model, the N3235w ($679 street), doesn't buck the trend too much. Where this set falls a bit short is around back, where it just doesn't offer the...

- Vizio VP42HDTV
- In case you haven't noticed, the price of plasma TV has officially fallen into the three-figure range. The 42-inch Vizio VP42HDTV, available for $999--and in some cases even less--is the perfect example. This HDTV misses no features, hits the style note nicely, and most importantly, comes through with a picture...

- Vizio VM60PHDTV
- We've come to count on Vizio for offering good-performing HDTVs at extremely competitive prices, but when we first heard about the VM60PHDTV we were still surprised. This is a 60-inch plasma that costs as much as many like-size rear-projection HDTVs: $2,999. That information alone is enough to catapult this television...

- Vizio VX32L HDTV
- Vizio's VX32L HDTV may not be the least-expensive 32-inch flat-panel LCD on the market, but it's still quite affordable. Unlike most bargain-basement LCDs, however, this model provides a well-rounded feature set, including two HDMI inputs and a PC input along with plenty of picture controls. Those features, combined with perfectly...

- Vizio GV47LF HDTV
- Native resolution, which on HDTV spec sheets usually refers to the number of physical pixels used to create the picture, comes in two basic flat-panel LCD flavors: 1,366x768 and 1,920x1,080. The latter, known as 1080p, has become increasingly common even among relatively inexpensive models, and Vizio's GV47LF HDTV is one...

- Vizio VX37L HDTV
- The Vizio VX37L HDTV replaces the company's last 37-inch LCD set, the L37 HDTV, but not much has changed. Vizio revamped the feature set and modified the cosmetics, going for a more compact cabinet and a white backside. The VX37L HDTV demonstrates the virtue found on many other Vizio flat-panel...

- If you've roamed the cavernous halls of discount retailer Costco recently, you may have seen flat-panel HDTVs with the Vizio brand name and wondered whether their prices were too good to be true. Vizio televisions routinely cost a few hundred dollars less than the competition, and lately we've lauded their...

- Vizio GV42L HDTV
- Let's get this out of the way right now: The Vizio GV42L HDTV is a virtual clone of the Vizio L42 HDTV. They're both 42-inch flat-panel LCDs, they have nearly identical feature sets, their image quality is basically the same, and the difference in cost is $100 as of the...

- The plummeting prices of flat-panel HDTVs has been big news for the last couple of years, and in 2006, the latest downward price trend is among flat-panel LCDs in the 40- and 42-inch size range. Vizio, that popular purveyor of price-savvy panels, is once again surging to the bottom with...

- Vizio P50HDTV
- Editors' note: We have not reviewed this model, but according to Vizio, it is almost identical to the P50HDM. The only differences are that the P50HDTV includes an HDTV tuner and that it's slightly more expensive. Otherwise, the performance of the two models should be identical. With...

- Thanks to extremely aggressive pricing, Vizio has risen to become one of the most-popular flat-panel TV brands out there. HDTVs priced as low as the 37-inch flat-panel Vizio L37HDTV ($1,399 and falling) usually have a few major issues with features or picture quality. Vizio has struck a winning balance in...
