| Vizio are well known for delivering affordable TV's | | | | good 720p model. And when it comes to the 50" size, |

| lump them into the 'cheap and nasty' category juts yet. | | | | The panel on the JV50P is from LG and it's a quality |
| They are in fact just as good (and sometimes much | | | | choice. But Vizio have gone a step further and added |
| better) than their more famous yet often over priced | | | | many other features that are simply not found on |

| extra? | | | | "Where Vision Meets Value" is Vizio's catch phrase |
| Marketing hype and promotions tout the great benefit | | | | and it is certainly valid in this case. The JV50P is an |
