Vizio 42" 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV E421VA

Pros: Great when they work!

Cons: Don't last long!

Other Thoughts: I bought a 37 inch refurbished Vizio and it lasted all of 8 months, tried replacing the power supply and had the main board repaired.. worked once and then just got progressively worse until it would not come on again. New eggs attitude is that its refurbished, but there should still be accountability for something that should last longer than 8 months! Buyer beware.

Pros: It worked when I plugged it in. No dead pixels. All required hardware was included. I waited a month to see if would fail. Took a gamble and it seemed to pay off so far. Very nice unit for the price (considering it worked based on other buyer's experience).

Picture quality and audio was good. OTA HD was very clear and crisp.

Cons: Poorly packaged in a thin box that barely survived shipping out west in the rain. The only insulation were the Styrofoam inserts at the corners. The heavy base was not secured in the box (by design) and moved freely during transit, scratching everything.

No instructions or batteries for the remote were included (not sure if they were supposed to be). The remote control, although covered in protective plastic, was worn out: labels were missing characters, VIZIO logo had no paint except on the middle portion of the letters.

I have had positive experience with buying refurbished products in the past. This unit was very hard to tell between refurbished and simply "used".

Other Thoughts: Recommended as a secondary unit for something that you may occasionally use. I do not recommend buying this as a gift for anyone unless they are expecting something of refurbished quality. It would be very awkward to explain to someone why their brand new TV looks like a rent-a-center return.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: I have been shipped 2 now, neither have worked upon arrival. The first had no audio and only displayed magenta and green lines. The second had no video but the audio work just fine. The company refurbishing these is doing very poorly, steer clear.

Other Thoughts: Sohnen is the company that has refurbished these. If this is a the quality they provide, I sincerely hope they go out of business for the sake of the competent.

Pros: Was cheap for a 42" LCD TV good sound as well. Decent design. Got here on time.

Cons: Has vertical lines, tints all kinds of weird colors while watching. Horrible use am returning for a replacement.

Other Thoughts: Was a bad buy overall gave it as a Christmas gift and it didn't even work correctly.

Pros: Great picture and sound

Cons: 2 stuck pixels

Other Thoughts: What could you expect for a $399 television. RMA'd and hopefully I get another one or my money back. Believe I purchased the last one in stock.
