Vizio XVT553SV 55-Inch LCD TV

Vizio has built a reputation for manufacturing flat-screen TVs that deliver great value for the money, and the company's top-of-the-line 55-inch LED-backlit LCD TV, the XVT553SV, does not disappoint. Its suggested retail price of $2200 (as of October 1), is about two-thirds that of the top-rated model on our Top 5 50-, 52-, and 55-Inch HDTVs chart, which it almost matches in features and image quality--and outperforms in energy efficiency. One nice Vizio accessory is a Bluetooth remote with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Roughly the size of a smartphone (but thicker than most), this remote doesn't require line-of-site proximity to communicate with the set (no more worrying that your soft drink or your pet may interfere with your channel surfing)--and the keyboard comes in handy if you use any VIA (Vizio Internet Applications) features that require data entry. The keyboard's keys aren't that large, and holding down the function key while typing can be awkward--but using it sure beats relying on a conventional remote's arrow keypad to navigate an on-screen software keyboard, which is what most sets require. The XVT553SV's full-array LED-backlit display held its own in our juried image-quality tests.

Vizio XVT553SV

If you're in the market for a big-screen HDTV with the latest technology but you have a limited budget, consider Vizio's XVT553SV ($2,199.99 list). No, it's not 3D-ready, and it won't win any style awards, but this 55-inch HDTV delivers a sharp, detailed picture and excellent black level performance, and it features LED backlighting with local dimming, a 240Hz refresh rate, a multitude of I/O connections, and a Bluetooth remote with full QWERTY keyboard for all the Web apps the set offers. The backlighting does produce some blooming, however, and the set struggled a bit on our standard-definition noise tests. For the price, though, it's difficult to find an LED-based HDTV with this many features and a screen this large. There's nothing extraordinary about the XVT553SV's cabinet design; it sports wide 2.3-inch piano-black bezels with two 2.5-inch high black speaker enclosures mounted beneath the lower bezel. Style-wise, it's not in the same league as the gorgeous LG 47LX9500 ($4,299, ) with its edge-to-edge glass design, but it is an improvement over its older sibling, the VF551XVT ($2,199, ).
