The Vizio Internet Apps of this HDTV is really awesome. I also like the dimming effects. Thank you.
Ive been saving money to be buy an HDTV. Vizios xvt line with via feature is very appealing to me. It has all the applications I love…facebook, twitter, rhapsody, Pandora and Netflix
What’s the hold up on the SV422XVT? I’ve read that this tv was supposed to be available at retailers in October and then November but it’s nowhere to be found? I’ve checked my local Costco and they still only have the SV421XVT and I’ve looked on line and there’s no retailers that appear to be offering the SV422XVT. It seems to me Vizio is shooting themselves in the foot by not having such a highly reviewed and anticipated not available for the retail season ( especially Black Friday & Cyber Monday ).
