  1. Product Review : Vizio SV470XVT 47-inch LCD

    Reviewer: Audioholics
    24 September 2008

    Vizio has always intrigued me. And their top of the line SV470XVT 47-inch LCD TV is no exception. It's the brand I get asked about the most - probably because it's available in a majority of big box stores like SAMs, Costco and Sears. Heck, even Dell sells them online. So it's almost a monthly (sometimes weekly) event where I'll get a call from somebody asking me about the latest Vizio deal they found while they were shopping for lawn gnomes and 5 pound bags of white...

    Vizio has wisely chosen to enter the 120Hz market, and the SV470XVT represents one of the best deals in town for a 47-inch, 1080p HDTV with a 120Hz frame rate. Its features and connection options aren't quite as generous as those of some higher-end TVs, but all the necessities are in place to make this a good HDTV option. Read more

    The Vizio SV470XVT is not a bad choice for the price of it, you’re most likely not going to find a 120Hz HDTV for this price from any other manufacturer. Vizio has done well with this HDTV, though there are some improvements that could be made to it, especially the cluttered inputs and the remote. The other problems I mentioned are more personal preference than anything, like things looking live and not having enough inputs. Read more

    High definition television, for most readers, is almost passé. OK, not quite, but it’s certainly nothing that amazes our readers in and of itself. For the most part, any display can get HD content to the screen. The key to visual bliss is found in one of two categories: a) which displays do it best, or b) which displays do it “good enough” that they become bargains for consumers. Nobody wants a TV that sucks, but they might take a cheaper model if it still… Read more

    Loved the tv and got it at a good price, but then after about 3 months it got into a state where it would work for about 30 mins, then the picture would go black with weird lines all over the place. Need to read more reviews before I buy cheap stuff :( Gonna go get a samsung tonight. Read more

  2. Breathtaking!!!!!

    Reviewer: RAYMOND, vizio.com

    I wanted to replace a 7 year old rear projection 53" Sony TV and had liked the quality of the Vizio, Sony and LG. I looked in several stores and saw the Vizio VL470m and Sony Bravia 47" 120 hz side by side, the only way I could sum up the picture on the Vizio was that there were only 3 times I had a jaw dropping experience in my life, 1) when my wife accepted my marriage proposal, 2) when I first laid eyes on my newborn son and 3) when I turned on my new Vizio set....
