The 46-inch Vizio GV46L HDTV costs less than the big-screen LCD competition, but its picture quality isn't up to par with the company's other bargain efforts.
The Vizio VX32L high-definition TV's decent picture quality and excellent feature set make good on Vizio's bang-for-the-buck promise.

Vizio VF551XVT Review
The good: Inexpensive for a local dimming LED-based LCD; can produce extremely deep black levels; less blooming than many local dimming models; relatively accurate color; solid dejudder processing; plenty of connectivity with five HDMI and one PC input; energy efficient.
The bad: Backlight fluctuates with program content; below-average shadow detail; fewer picture controls than some high-end HDTVs; ho-hum styling.
The bottom line: Sure, it has a few flaws, but nothing fatal prevents the local dimming, LED-backlit Vizio VF551XVT from exhibiting excellent LCD picture quality for the buck.
