Vizio VO420E
$900.00
Released June, 2009
The Pros:Backlight is uniform and generally doesn't have any darker areas. Color saturation is excellent, capable of very vivid pictures. Black levels are deep enough that you can see lots of detail in the shadows.
The Cons:Generates a lot of heat and will overheat if not in a ventilated space. Sharpness and clarity isn't on the level of higher-end systems, and there's some noticeable blurring especially in fast-moving shots.
