The Vizio XVT3SV series comes in a handful of sizes—from 42 and to 55-inches. The 42 and 47-inch models can be found on Amazon for a little under $1100 and $1500 respectively. It's time to get over whatever reputational shortcomings Vizio might evoke in your mind. The sets deliver, period. Close your eyes. Pretend that's an A-list logo on the bezel. Open your eyes. The critical consensus is that they—especially for the price—easily keep up with the big brands. Actually, forget the price. If you're looking for a pixel-popping HDTV, these sets deserve a serious look. Just think of the price tag as a bonus.
