LCD TV Reviews Everything You Need To Know About Seriously Mean TV’s

If you are looking at buying a 42″ Vizio widescreen LCD HDTV then you have to make a decisino between several models. For this article I have chosen two of the best selling Vizio 42″ televisions and put them side by side. You will see that the specs are almost the same besides in a few key areas and feature sets, with one having the whole Vizio she-bang and the other being a toned down version.

Specification Comparison
When comparing these two TV’s on paper, things look very similar. Both are full high definition models.

The main difference is that the SV420XVT comes with all the top of the line features from Vizio, whereas the V042LF is a TV with similar specs but without the bells and whistles (Although the price difference between the two is not huge. The main differences are:

The SV420XVT is part of Vizio’s XVT series (Extreme VIZIO technology) and marks their top of the line range. It includes 120Hz processing and SRS TruSurround XT Sound.

120Hz Processing
SV420XVT is a 120Hz processing model and this is the main difference between the two. 120Hz is the best processing speed currently and in combination with Vizio’s Smooth Motion Video technology you will get increased smoothness and fluidity in the picture. The detail is also much better.

SRS TruSurround XT
Also unique to the SV420XVT is SRS TruSurround XT which is a state of the art sound system.

Colors
V042LF: 16.77 million
SV420XVT: 1.06 Billion

Contrast Ratio
V042LF: 5000:1 (w/DCR)
SV420XVT: 6500:1 (w/DCR)

As you can see the V042LF is simply the cheaper version of the full featured SV420XVT. Both are excellent TV’s so your choice will depend upon your budget and your need for all the top features and latest technology.

Conclusion - Which Should You Choose?

The SV420XVT, whilst only costing a little more than the VO42LF, has all the bells and whistles of a top of the range Vizio TV therefore it gets my full recommendation.

The Vizio SV420XVT has continually come out on top in reviews and ratings and with good reason. It truly is an amazing TV and deserves the praise.

It only costs a bit more than the V042LF so I can highly recommend it as your next 42″ Vizio Widescreen LCD HDTV.

If you have decided that 42 inches is the right size TV to get, you now just have to narrow your choice down to brand and model. But as you might have noticed, this is not as easy as it sounds. Just walking into any television or electronics store will have you wondering where to look. All of the TV’s look great on display and the sales people generally direct you to the ones that will make them the biggest commissions.

So how do you really tell which is the best TV for you?
