In the past few years, Vizio has built a good reputation as a company that provides solid picture quality at budget prices, both with Plasma and LCD displays. Their motto is "Where Vision Meets Value," clearly positioning them in the second-tier display market. The GV42L is priced lower than most other 42" LCDs and many of the more popular 40" sized LCDs.
Just released last month, the Vizio GV42L was launched alongside another 42" LCD, the L42. The GV42L is part of Vizio's new Gallevia line, which offers modest upgrades compared to their regular displays, such as a backlit remote, removable speakers and stand and a new upgraded cosmetic appearance.
Some of the key features of the GV42L include:
8 bit processing 8 ms response time 500 cd/m2 brightness 1600:1 dynamic contrast ratio 50,000 hour half-life Built-In HDTV TunerSponsored
