VIZIO VP322 $599 42

VIZIO’s VP422 is the larger sibling to its VP322. The VP422 has identical specifications as the VP322, except for the larger 42″ plasma display panel (PDP). The VP422 42″ plasma TV is available in Wal-Mart stores. The specifications, identical to those of the VP322, are not going to impress anyone, but at just $799 it’s a great deal. Note that VIZIO incorporated three HDMI ports, which are standard on higher priced models. Just like the VP322, the VP422 has a cool feature: a dynamic contrast ratio of 30,000:1 that will make the images on the most affordable 42″ plasma TV pretty good.
