"All of the top-line 2010 buzz in television land may be about 3D, but until those sets arrive later this year, LED backlit flat panels remain the technology to watch, since these models deliver mouth-watering picture quality. As long-time plasma fansthe tech still remains our benchmarkweve marveled at the way backlit LED LCD HDTVs have closed the quality gap with plasma over the past 18 months. Finally, were seeing LCD HDTVs with deep blacks and excellent contrast. Our main squawk with LED is cost, however, since typically these sets are far more expensive than similarly-sized plasma flat panels. Happily, now Vizio has entered the scene to shrink the dollar gap. Vizio came out of nowhere to be the number-two TV seller in the U.S. by offering decent sets at good prices. And following on this success, the manufacturer is moving from low-priced 37-inchers to loaded displays that compete with the best from Samsung, LG, Panasonic and Sony. Lets see if these upstarts can match up with the big boys."

When it comes to HDTVs, bigger and more expensive means a higher profile in the press and a much greater techno-lust factor. Everyone would love to own a 60-inch Pioneer Kuro plasma set but who has $7K to buy one? Enter the real "meat and potatoes" of HDTV Land, sets like the 32-inch Vizio VO32L, one of the current best sellers. This 720P LCD HDTV has a list price of $649 USD and is readily available online or the local Costco and other warehouse clubs for around $599 USD. This is a good price and one of the reasons Vizio has come out of nowhere to garner serious market share from the likes of Sony, Samsung and Sharp. According to research firm DisplaySearch, Vizio had the strongest year-to-year growth of any top-five flat panel TV brand. Low prices and good distribution will do that for you in today's tough economic climes. Now is this 32-inch LCD HDTV any good? That's what we were determined to find out.

When VIZIO became the biggest seller of HDTVs in the U.S. in Q3 of this year, I wondered how well their HDTVs performed. To answer this question today we are looking at the VIZIO GV52L 52-inch HDTV. The biggest feature of the VIZIO GV52L HDTV is definitely the price. At $2299.99 for a full 1080p HDTV with a 52-inch screen size no one can deny it is a bargain. Another fantastic feature that I really wish the other big makers of HDTVs would adopt is the four HDMI ports on the rear that the VIZIO GV52L HDTV has.
