Thanks for the help. I have Vizio come put and replace the mainboard. That is what they said the problem is. They came out and the TV is still doing it. Vizio is replacing the TV with a new one. Thanks again for the suggestion

This is not a setting problem, either the digital board is going bad or the analog board, could be a loose LVDS cable, that hooks to the power board and the logic board, if you take the back off and hook it back up to the source, then get a plastic probe, do not use any thing metal, you will get shocked or damage the boards inside, take the plastic probe and while the tv is playing move around some cable and see if the picture gets the same problem, if so make sure all the cables are securely seated

My vizio 42 inch, the green light at the bottom comes on but the tv screen wont and every 21 seconds the turns off then come back on over and over every 21 seconds.
I don't know if your refresh rate on your TV is adjustable or the signal being fed is inadequate. What connection are you using with the TV? If it's HDMI, make sure the cables are HDCP-certified. Otherwise this will always happen. If it is simply your TV, are environmental variables (dust, cold, heat, etc.) causing the TV to malfunction? Give it room to breathe and avoid cases without holes for the TV to breathe. TVs don't operate properly when they are stressed out.

Can you connect a 2 yr old 42 in vizio to your computer to watch shows ????????// what type of cord is used and who sells them?/ Best buy , hh gregg, sam waltons house line opps wall mart / sams ???
Easiest will be the VGA cable (15 pins on each end), you will also have to set the PC to the native resolution of your TV otherwise you will get the message on the screen saying "format not supported".
You will also need an audio cable, it has male mini stereo phone plug at each end, one end will go into the green audio out athe PC sound card, the other end will go into TV PC audio line input (green jack).
Best Buy should have them.
You should down load the user manual and read all about your TV.

My Vizio LCD TV screen fades to dark. Sound stays on.
I w having this same issue when watching a Blu-Ray disc. I found it to be dependent upon what picture mode the TV was set to. By this I mean certain picture modes would cause the TV to dim during dark scenes of a movie. Changing the picture mode helped a lot.

replace the sustainer boards should correct this problem. New sustainer boards may cause red and green pixilation. If this happen, replace control board and TV is as good as new.

One green vertical line in HDTV Vizio 42
Try changing the H/V position in the TV Set Up menu. You can adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the screen and move it enough that the green line disappears from the screen.
