Reviews of the Vizio VP422

CNET Review
The Good: Extremely inexpensive for a 42-inch plasma; plenty of connectivity with three HDMI and one PC input; accurate color decoding; relatively clean image with little low-level video noise.
The Bad: No aspect ratio control for HD sources; highly inaccurate green primary color and poor grayscale tracking mar overall color accuracy.
The Bottom Line: The Vizio VP422 is a 42-inch plasma with a rock-bottom price tag and picture quality that, while certainly not perfect, should satisfy casual viewers.
