Compare to Sony or Pioneer? Probably Not

One of Vizio’s more popular models is the VX42LHDTV10A, which is 42″ diagonally and available at many retailers like Costco and Walmart. According to the experts, it is a worthy entry into HDTV, and worth a look before you spend more money on another product. While not enjoying the reputation of Sony, Pioneer or other established manufacturers, it still may be a good choice compared to other brands because of the features that are normally only found on higher end HDTV’s.

This modelo has a picture-in-picture feature as well as built-in HD antenna, which will allow you to pick up broadcasts in HDTV without additional expense. It also features lots of input ports for connectivity to other components, like DVD players and games. The downside seems to be a rather poor quality of audio, that can be corrected with a good surround system plugged in.

The Vizio HDTV is a composite of many components that combine high-end specifications with low cost. The strategy of Vizio has been to offer many higher-end features in the hope that the low price will result in high volume sales. Vizio will always be one of the better priced units you can buy.

Vizio is assembled in Thailand, where manufacturing costs are low, but there are many consumers that will associate the low cost with low quality. If you don’t get the performance or the quality you want, then the investment is hardly worth it, but Vizio has established it’s niche in the market. It is priced around $2000 and comes with remote control PIP and has good contrast as well. Many will find the Vizio product a perfect combination of features and price, so don’t overlook Vizio when you do your testing and research of the various HDTV products.
