HDTV Reviews

The Vizio GV46L is a 46-inch well priced LCD with good connectivity, but does it do the job well? Cnet has a review of the GV46L and wites: The 46-inch Vizio GV46L HDTV looks exactly like a bigger version of the 42-inch GV42L HDTV on the outside. Glossy black is the new black in TV country, and the Vizio follows suit nicely, framing its wide screen in a relatively thin, 1.5-inch-wide, glossy black border. The speakers and the stand below the screen are silver, and the Gallevia sub-brand is printed across the middle under the Vizio logo.
Like many LCD panels and most 50-inch plasmas, the Vizio GV46L HDTV has a native resolution of 1,366×768 pixels. That’s not as many as you’ll find on higher-end 1080p LCDs, but it’s still enough to display every detail of incoming 720p HDTV programming. All sources, be they 1080i or 720p HDTV, DVD, standard-def TV, or computer, are scaled to fit the native resolution.

The Vizio GV46L HDTV boasts a commendable array of inputs for such a budget big-screen. There are two HDMI ports, a pair of component-video inputs, and a PC input that can handle sources up to the full native resolution of the TV (1,366×768). Both of the HDMI ports have audio inputs, a welcome sight for people connecting DVI equipment.

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.
