Reviews of the Vizio VP50
-
CNET Review
The Good: Relatively inexpensive; solid standard-def and PC monitor performance; custom color-temperature controls.
The Bad: Subpar black level performance; inaccurate primary color of green; no color temperature presets; some false contouring; sometimes unresponsive to remote commands.
The Bottom Line: For many less critical viewers, the Vizio VP50HDTV's bargain pricing will be worth the trade-off in picture quality.
