REVIEW SUMMARY

Overall this 55” offers big bang for the buck and if you search well you can find a great deal! Picture quality is crisp and clear at 1080p. The dejudder process is great, at 120Hz refresh rate it really delivers clarity in fast action scenes. Black levels are good and color is vivid. No wonder VIZIO sell more flat panel HDTV’s then anyone else in America! We give this one a GO!
