    CNET Review

    May 29, 2007

    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.
