Learn More | | With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. - Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
- Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

| Customer Reviews: Please, do yourself a favor and do not buy Vizio September 5, 2010 Mack Trust I had a Vizio for 2 years and it has now stopped funcioning properly. Apparently, I am experiencing what is called the "black screen of death." Google it and see all of the complaints for yourself. So, do yourself a favor and stay away from Vizio's Tvs. Yeah, they are cheaper and the picture quality is pretty good, but do you really want to pay $700-$900 for Tv that will only last 2-3 years? Oh yeah, and the cost of repairs to the Tv were quoted at $500!!! Thanks Vizio; you just lost another customer.
Where is my TV? August 28, 2010 Bill 0 out of 6 found this review helpful
Estimated delivery date 8/26/10. Actual delivery date 9/2/10. Late but in good condition and the delivery person unwrapped it and we checked to see that it worked before he left. Vizio E420VL 42-Inch Full HD 1080P 120 Hz LCD HDTV, Black
The TV is very good and has even more features than advertised.
Great TV but remote issues 4 months post purchase August 10, 2010 Knoobee 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I really like the TV. It is easy to operate and has a fantastic picture. But lately (about 4 months post purchase) my TV has been acting up insofar as the remote control. I, of course, put in fresh batteries and I also have a universal that does the same thing, which is...
The TV occasionally doesn't react to the remote at all, occasionally reacts so-so to the remote, and occasionally acts as expected with the remote. Initially, it had perfect as expected remote control response.
It's semi-tolerable, but somewhat irritating to have the push the vol. or channel button repeatedly to get a reaction. So far, it eventually reacts every time, with the number of button presses between 1 and 5 times. As I write this, I'm realizing that it's wearing pretty thin.
I Googled the problem and it has been documented on some Vizio TVs, but I didn't find any solutions, including a failed attempt at a replacement remote control from Vizio.
The only other complaint I can think of is that the PIP kind of sucks. One can't "swap" the pictures and it's slow and clumsy to maneuver through the menu to exchange the PIP and main picture if you're channel surfing while waiting for your program to continue.
I'm probably going to take the TV back and exchange for the same TV and give it another try, as I really do like the TV, and think it was a great purchase.
Superb! August 3, 2010 Jacob M. Kroon (Minnesota) 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
