Sound could use a little improvement, but overall it is a little disadvantage. “Get a surround sound system!”

No S-video inputs.

Slightly lower DCR “Dynamic Contrast ratio then it’s higher end models, thus resulting in some areas that are not as black but pretty much unnoticeable to the untrained eye.

REVIEW SUMMARY

This affordable VT Series shows up the competition! Displaying a 1080p full high definition resolution it packs a punch, not to mention a 120Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time. We like the sound feature which monitors and balances the sound levels, no more playing with the volume levels! All-in-all this 42” VT series offers lots for the price and it produces crisp clear motion blur free images!
