3.0 out of 5 stars Nice TV, Short on inputs and technical support mediocre, March 29, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: VIZIO E422VA 42-Inch LCD 1080p HDTV with VIZIO Internet Apps, Black (Electronics)
This is my first review. Purchased this TV as a gift for my mother.

Out of the Box - easy to assemble TV. Vizio has the best boxes. No tape to cut. Just pull out 4 clips and lift the box top off. TV assemlbes easy. Screws for stand can be turned by hand, no tools needed.

Internet Connectivity - Lots of problems here. TV would find our Netgear router, but would not connect to it (the security password was correct as I could connect other computers, phones and Blu-Ray players to it). Called technical support. First wait wasn't too long, but the person I spoke to wasn't trained to support internet TVs. After a much longer wait I spoke to a person who was trained. That person said that the TV doesn't work with Netgear routers (allegedly due to some Netgear firmware upgrade). Very upsetting. But its a pain to ship it back so we bought a Linksys router. Well, that didn't work either. Called Vizio back. Long wait to get to first person who then had to... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars changed the way i watch tv, March 29, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: VIZIO E422VA 42-Inch LCD 1080p HDTV with VIZIO Internet Apps, Black (Electronics)
set-up was a breeze, and i had no problem connecting it to my wifi. i really wanted an internet-ready tv, and don't plan on getting cable! the apps are great: mostly, i use vudu for movies, pandora for music, and hulu plus for tv shows - having weather/news apps is also nice. as promised, hulu plus came after an upgrade (to figure this out, i did some research, then contacted vizio customer service through their online chat support, they were very helpful - basically as long as your tv is connected to the internet you'll get it automatically). this is my first HDTV and i think the picture/sound quality are fantastic. the remote is ok but the buttons are sometimes inconsistent - i really wish we had the option to upgrade to the fancier vizio remote with the qwerty keyboard. overall, im very happy with it, especially at this price point - it feels like a smart tv (and i joke about relinquishing my phd to it)!

3.0 out of 5 stars Bumpy Start but Improving [UPDATED], March 26, 2011

This review is from: VIZIO E422VA 42-Inch LCD 1080p HDTV with VIZIO Internet Apps, Black (Electronics)
I just bought this TV from Costco and wanted to share my initial impressions. A more detailed review will follow after a bit of use.

Unpacking and Initial Setup: Very easy and smooth. It took me about 5mins to unpack and setup the hardware and another 5mins to go through the on-screen setup.

Apps: It was disappointing that Hulu Plus as NOT working out of the box. I spent over an hour researching the issue and finally found buried in the manual that the firmware updates automatically when the TV is off. That did happen and hulu and blockbuster apps were added. I still would want more music options such as rdio.

Remote: Terrible. Feels cheap and buttons are hard to press and unreliable. Does not support the supposedly much better blue tooth remote.

Image: Good for the price.

Sound: Better than most TVs but not comparable to an external audio setup.
