Good

6.6

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 6.6 out of 10
Reviewed by David Katzmaier
Review date: 9/13/07
Release date: 9/1/07

The good: Relatively accurate color; includes custom color temperature controls; comparatively uniform backlight; solid PC performance; excellent connectivity with four HDMI inputs; detachable speakers.

The bad: Produces a light shade of black; below-average shadow detail; poor off-angle viewing; backlight control not independent per input; emits faint humming sound when backlight is turned down.

The bottom line: Although a bargain by big-screen LCD standards, the 52-inch Vizio GV52LF has a hard time competing against similarly sized plasmas.
