Vizio VL420M
$900.00
Released January, 2009
The Pros:1080p, 120Hz. Affordable price. High-end technology from last year in a mid-range set.
The Cons:Dark Java Brown Finish may not be everyone's cup of coffee. Stand doesn't rotate. Buttons on the TV are all the same, evenly spaced - difficult to know what you're pressing unless you look at the labels.
