For anyone interested in a Vizio 56" DLP, you should read the review found at the following link:

I thought perhaps someone might be considering the purchase of a new tv and since you usually don't
see reviews like this one I'm posting the link, FWIW.

Please note that this review did not check the color decoder nor was any attempt made to calibrate the display.

None the less it has wonderful information and also shows what real world contrast ratio is rather than the manufacturers typical 1000 to 3000:1 ratios.

Note the blue primary is off significantly. Even with a correct color decoder you will not get the right colors. Being a DLP a calibrator might be able to correct this problem. This would be required to get the correct color temperature of D65.

Also note they did not feed this display DVD content with a DVI enabled player. To their credit they did check the internal scaler with 480I and 480P.
