Best bang for buck
I began my quest for a tv at walmart with a budget of $600-700. I first noticed that this tv's image quality was superior to any of the other standard lcds and superior to most of the LED tvs that were hanging on the wall at twice the price. Since it was Walmart, and they are notorious for having crappy tv feeds, I took this with a grain of salt and decided I would visit another walmart to see if the quality differences were the same. They were. I couldn't believe how natural the sharpness of the E420VL was at this pricepoint. I'm a photographer so my eye is trained to spot sharpening artifacts (halos, etc) and this tv had none. The picture had awesome definition with the sharpness set to 1, which is fantastic. Another thing I noticed were the natural looking reds. One thing I've never liked about LCD tvs is the over-blown reds that are almost fluorescent looking. The colors of this Vizio looked like a CRT monitor. I thought to myself "the image quality is good but how will it handle...

Superb!
I work for a Cable TV company installing so ive seen LCD tv's at there best and worst. This is definetly a top tier tv. 480 analog and digital pics have very little distortion and blur. The hi def is amazing. So crisp and vivid. I am very impressed with the tv for its price, and image quality.

Fantastic TV
I generally only write a review if I'm either incredibly disappointed or incredibly impressed with something... Fortunately, this TV falls into the later category... I am definitely very impressed with this TV. I didn't buy it from Amazon (it was $600 at Costco when I got it), so I can't comment on delivery/etc, but I can comment on the quality of the product. It's amazing. I've connected multiple devices to the TV; Blu-Ray, PS3, XBox360, Upconverted DVD, HD Cable, etc... Everything looks great. The menus are very easily navigable, and I've haven't had to adjust anything since the first day that I've had it. 1080p sources really do look amazing (and 720p is NOTHING to sneeze at)... I really have nothing bad to say about this TV. My PS3 and XBox360 look incredible. Highly recommended, man!

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?
 | With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.
