Vizio has released new 42 inch plasma VP422 with average performance as some tests reports. VP422 has a native resolution 1,024×768, not like most of plasmas the 1080p. On the rear side you get two HDMI inputs, one component video input, AV input with a choice of S-Video or composite video, RF input, and a 15-pin VGA input for PC. From the specs 30000:1 contrast ratio, 1500 cd/m2 brightness, 178 degrees viewing angle, 0.001 ms response and 60,000 hours backlight life. A digital optical audio output and a set of analog audio outputs round out the rear, while a third HDMI input is all alone on the side panel. There is no aspect ratio control for HD sources and VP422 gets highly inaccurate green primary color and poor grayscale tracking mar overall color accuracy. With this not so good facts you will consider buying one for $799.99.
