Vizio increases its offerings with a top of the line 1080p Full HD flat panel. The VU42LF (also listed as VU42LFHDTV and vu42LFHDTV10a) is a very attractively priced LCD TV. You will have an extremely hard time finding a 1080p LCD TV any cheaper. Typically, you expect the cheapest TV to be the worst but this definitely isn’t the case. You can’t quite expect the Vizio VU42LFHDTV to match up with a 1080p Pioneer or Panasonic but Vizio is definitely a respectable, middle of the line HDTV manufacturer. The VU42LF didn’t skimp on looks either with a black bezel and bottom mounted silver speakers. It’s definitely a great looking TV whether mounted on the wall or by using the included TV stand.

User Reviews
I’ve had this tv for a month now, and wanted to wait to write a review for it. I have only 2 issues with it. Brought at wal mart i had to bring it back twice becuase of a bright dead pixel on each, the third tv had a black one which i decided to live with. The other issue is that in book it says it don’t support 1080p via HDMI with a pc and it tv actually does. Great Tv great price id have to give this tv a 9/10 for its price value. No other issues to report.
Just a update, the TV as been craping out the last 3 months, tech support won’t get back to me and its not even a year old. STAY AWAY FROM VIZIO! Ill never buy another one.
TV won’t turn on, take 2 tries usually. Strange smudgy track like lines going from the bottom to the top on the left and right side in sets of 3, its really hard to explain. Stuck pixels all over the place. What a peice of junk!
Its July 2011 Now, and the TV is still running. It still takes 2 turn ons for the tv to power up. I learn’t to live with it. I’ve gotten my use out of it.
