Native resolution, which on HDTV spec sheets usually refers to the number of physical pixels used to create the picture, comes in two basic flat-panel LCD flavors: 1,366x768 and 1,920x1,080. The latter, known as 1080p, has become increasingly common even among relatively inexpensive models, and Vizio's GV47LF HDTV is one example. Another is the Westinghouse LVM-47w1, which we reviewed last October and considered a good value. The Vizio has better styling and a more consumer-friendly feature set compared to the Westinghouse, and while both offer decent, if not spectacular, picture quality, we give the slight nod to the Westinghouse. Both sets also compete directly against similarly priced 50-inch plasmas, such as Vizio's own P50HDM and Panasonic's TH-50PH9UK, both of which scored better in our performance tests.
