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.

I bought this television from a local supplier and when I hooked it up I noticed right away there may be a problem. I noticed the backlights flickering ever once in a while, but thought it was just my cable signal. I switched over to the DVD player and had the same symptoms. Mind you it’s not clearly evident at first, but once you notice it, it will drive you nuts. I took it back and explained the problem, so they hooked it up and didn’t see anything wrong but gave me the benefit of the doubt and exchanged it. On to TV #2…..
I got the second set home with high hopes that the problem was resolved and I could carry on with a pleasurable TV viewing experience. Boy was I wrong! The second TV backlighting flickered worse than the first one did, I saw it flicker at least 10 times in the 30-45 minutes I had it hooked up, so back in the box it went and I was off to the store once more for the day. Again, the store personnell listened to my complaints, then hooked the second set up to see if the problem would pop up for them. This time I stayed with them while they viewed it and I saw it flicker twice within 10 minutes. Naturally they didn’t see it and thought I was just “seeing things.” I’m not blind, I know what I saw and what it was doing. They wouldn’t exchange it again even after I told them the floor models weren’t doing it, so they refunded my money, now I’m back to square one searching for an affordable TV with a comparable picture. Sorry to say, but this was my third Vizio experience and there won’t be a fourth.

Bought this on Amazon for $900 a few months ago (thanks tax return!) with free shipping, awesome! It was delivered by a specialty delivery service 1 week later (3 weeks earlier than i was told in my confirmation, sweet). Before i begin my praise, I just want to mention that this is my first big flat screen TV, aside from my 24″ Samsung T240HD LCD HDTV/monitor that has extraordinary picture quality and really lives up to the ‘HDTV’ description. But I’m also a tech junkie and aside from knowing a lot about consumer electronics to begin with, i did a good deal of research into LCD TV’s prior to purchasing this tv.
When I was researching HDTV’s I was drawn to Vizio b/c I had read on TechCrunch that several big name manufacturers were releasing their new ‘high-end’ tvs soon and they had wifi built in and would incorporate apps directly into the TV. When looking at the prices of those tvs, i was disappointed b/c they were way out of my budget so when i came across the Vizio SV422XVT, i got a little dizzy with excitement. At $950, it was the perfect tv for me since it had Wifi – N, a bluetooth keyboard remote, Netflix and Amazon Video on Demand apps and, of course, Vizio’s reputation for high quality. I bought it the same day (after clearing it with the wife) for $950. The shipping was free but i quickly realized it was b/c i wasn’t set to receive it for 4 weeks. Long time to wait but for the price and features, i was prepared. Like a little kid, i excitedly looked at the product page on Amazon everyday while awaiting the delivery date. And at least this one time acting like a kid saved me $50 when around 3 days after i placed my order, Amazon dropped the price to $900. I was pissed at first but quickly researched the return/cancellation policy and since my order hadn’t moved past the initial order placement stage, i was able to cancel the first order and purchase it at the lower price which included the same free shipping and same 4 week wait. However, as i said before, it actually got delivered about a week later.
Once i set it up and plugged my cable box, PS3, junker surround system and PC into the HDMI ports and set up the wifi, i actually started watching TV. I was impressed with the HD channels and March Madness was really great to watch on this baby. I think the colors are accurate and very vivid so i’m thinking that a couple of the other reviews i read on here probably did have defective units. The internet apps are great, i use Amazon Video On Demand the most and netflix about a little. THe video and sound quality are great but my only complaint is that the internet can be… finicky… as in, Amazon shows/movies can buffer several times, netflix not as much but i don’t use it as much but Pandora plays just fine. This could be my router’s fault and most probably is but i still believe the wifi connectoin in the TV isn’t 100% stable. Since 802.11 N is still in draft format, that could be why also…not sure.
On to the other features. MY PS3 had to step its game up when i first played Modern Warfare 2 on this TV but once it woke from its non-HDTV slumber, the quality was excellent and i would say playing on this TV has definitely improved my gaming skills. Blu-rays are really amazing too though i think some older blu-ray movies aren’t formatted to play on this high of quality tv b/c the camera shots seem really strange some times. I attribute it to the refresh rate, 240hz. The refresh rate is really important and i can say with confidence that there were no other brands with 240HZ refresh rates at this price. Most are 120 but some are even 60 which just doesn’t do HD justice IMO. Anyways, using my pc with this thing was really cool too. it is a giant monitor and having 42″ of gmail is pretty cool. i only use that pc for casual searching, some Google Reader and occasionally watching movies i purchased (mistakenly) through iTunes last year. The video quality of the PC isn’t quite as good as the PS3 but the PC is also older so I don’t think its the Vizio’s fault.
I’d also like to review the Bluetooth quality of the TV. First, the remote is amazing since it is both universal for other devices (uses IR) and Bluetooth for the TV itself. This means for things like using the internet apps and adjusting the volume (tv volume only on my setup)are controlled thru a Bluetooth connection which doesn’t require you point it directly at the device. I have a cable box hooked up to it and the remote does work for that box but since it uses IR, i have to point it at the box still to change the channel. Oh well. The QWERTY Bluetooth keyboard is great for searching on amazon and even typing in username/password on any/all of the apps. It does not, however, connect to my PS3 as a Bluetooth keyboard
. I knew that was just wishful thinking anyways. My last comment about the Bluetooth is the quality of the receiver inside the TV. I use Bluetooth headphones for my computer and phone and i recently realized i could use them with the TV as well. Once paired, i found i could use both headphones and tv speakers together or just the headphones. Also, the range on the Bluetooth is really good. i’ve been outside of the house (about 35 feet away thru 100+ year old brick walls) with no crackling or skipping of the audio at all. I’m guessing its an EDR Class 1 device (audio up to 300ft) but i haven’t been able to locate the specs of the Bluetooth inside the TV yet. Please leave a comment if you know the specifics of the bluetooth chip inside the tv.
In summary, i don’t recommend this TV to my friends b/c i really enjoy having the most high tech/best quality TV among them. BUT since you’re an anonymous reader, i highly recommend you buy this TV. Literally the only thing it can’t do is 3D, yet(firmware update maybe?). Other than that, this TV is the most features packed, highest quality TV you will find at this price for at least a year.

I brought Vizio 42 inch with internet 2 months ago from Amazon .Great picture. Sound is good. Menu is very good. apps are great. Only improvement I would suggest is the Remote. The buttons are not easy to navigate. I suggest raised round buttons,which would be much easier to use.

This is a Great TV. I have another Vizio that is a 1080 LCD and the picture on this VIZIO SV422XVT is clearer, brighter, and the features are amazing. If you are looking to get a new TV with todays features be sure to research this one.

Guys….I got this yesterday from Costco $849 plus taxes. You would not believe what happened. Next to it there was a Sony 40″ EX501 model ($799) and it was being promoted by a SONY staff in red T-shirt. I was torn between these 2. SO I challenged the Sony sales guy to sell me the Sony. We started doing a feature to feature comparison. Outcome – Vizio exceeded Sony in many. Not to mention Wifi N, Internet apps (Netflix, Vudu, Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon Video, Yahoo widgets – News, Finance, Weather, Pandora, Rhapsody). But ultimate aim was picture quality. There was a Blu-Ray playing a movie and both got the same source inputs. We did some adjustments to get the best picture settings. Believe me, the Vizio simply outshone the SONY. The next SONY model that was close or matching Vizio was a $1399 LED backlit model and without any of the Internet features. Ofcourse I was not going to pay $600 more. I did not enforce anything, but simply asked the guy to help me put on the cart the TV he thought was best. Without a word, he loaded the Vizio box on my cart. I earlier had a 32″ ViZio XVT and was very impressed with it. But needed a bigger one for living room. So when I went for shopping, I was not even having Vizion in mind. Bigger models I was thinking should be the realm of SONY, Panasonics, Samsungs etc…but how wrong I was…
After having set-up the TV, the internet apps (which I was sceptical on the ease of integration) are wonderful. Neflix streaming is flawless and you have to see it to believe. Since then I have set-up my Pandora and Rhapsody accounts (For the first time validation, you need to enter a Vizio provided code in your PC).
So for those sitting on fence on this TV or for that matter any other TV of this size or near to it and do not want to spend 600 to 700 more for the LED TVs, this is one of the best out there and certainly the best considering the Internet Apps. As they say you do not know what you missed till you started using it. For example checking weather, I need to bring up the yahoo weather widget and customize for my city. The widget takes only about 1/4th space on the left to display news, weather etc so your favorite program is still viewed on the rest 3/4th of the screen. This is cool, I browse news while kids and the wife watch their shows…Only the Apps that need full screen (Netflix, etc) switch to full screen.
Only wish is for Vizio to add more apps or allow custom additions of widgets (like ESPN, Formula 1 etc)
