The 42-inch Vizio's low price doesn't quite excuse its limitations. Even after we adjusted the hell out of it, our test model's picture remained slightly oversaturated and red-tinted. Harsh blacks and whites also detracted from the viewing experience. However, the Vizio's noise reduction was surprisingly smooth and natural.
WIRED: Love it/hate it glowing Vizio logo. Inexpensive. Remote is easy to use. Picture-in-picture.
TIRED: Love it/hate it glowing Vizio logo. Had trouble displaying 24-fps sources smoothly — despite boasts to the contrary. 720p.
