Something for consumers to consider, however, is that while the price differences between Vizio sets and brand name televisions may be quite stark in a retail store, online, it’s a whole different story. HDTVs from major manufacturers can often be found between 20 and 30% cheaper online, compared to in-store prices at big box stores like Best Buy, Circuit City, and Wal-Mart. Shipping is often free or quite affordable, as well. Vizio televisions, though an excellent affordable option in the store, isn’t always the absolute lowest price if online merchants and prices are considered.   Read Full Review Here

The VP422/VP423 are VIZIO’s 42-inch Plasma models with 1024 x 768 resolution, 20:000:1 contrast ratio and two HDMI inputs. Two 42" models, the VP422 will sell in discount retailers such as Wal-Mart and K-Mart and the VP423 will head for the shelves at club retailers such as Costco and Sam’s Club, as well as traditional consumer electronics retailers like Circuit City and Sears. Also providing two HDMI inputs, the VP503 is a 50-inch plasma set that delivers a native resolution of 1365 x 768, is compatible with 1080p content, and displays a bright, rich image due to its 30,000:1 contrast ratio.   Read Full Review Here

There is plenty of competition in the 42" 1080p resolution flat screen TV category. This Vizio 42" LCD can be found at large retailers for around $999. Competitive brands with this LCD 42" with 1080p resolution are Samsung, Toshiba, and Sharp, which range from $1200 to $1450 in price. So this Vizio is very competitive at around $200 to $400 less than some top tier models. Picture quality aspects and other considerations put the unit in a very average placement in value ranking due to some the problem issues mentioned in those sections above   Read Full Review Here
