CNET Review
The Good: Reproduces relatively deep black levels; includes custom color temperature controls; solid PC performance; relatively uniform backlight; excellent PC performance.
The Bad: Inconsistent color; below-average shadow detail; backlight control not independent per input.
The Bottom Line: The Vizio GV42LF HDTV maintains the balance between competitive pricing and good performance.
