Vizio 47'' Class 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV, SV470XVT

Vizio 47'' Class 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV, SV470XVT

This full-HD model delivers the smooth motion that only a 120Hz refresh rate can provide. And 1920 x 1080p resolution means you see more than two million pixels for terrific picture detail. Additional highlights include a high dynamic contrast ratio of 6500:1, four HDMI inputs for the highest digital picture quality, a computer input, and a remote control. Note: You must have a source of HD programming in order to take full advantage of an HDTV. Otherwise, the picture quality of an HDTV without an HD source may not be much better than that of a standard-definition TV. Please contact your local cable or satellite TV provider for details on how to upgrade to HD programming.

don't buy any Vizio TV, 07/11/2009
By TexasGramy1, Texas
Overall Rating: 1 out of 5 1 out of 5

Have had nothing but trouble with Vizio since we bought it last Christmas (2008). Got extended warranty and they have been very responsive to come out and replace the entire insides, but the TV keeps turning itself off and/or going mute all on it's own. Will not buy another Vizio or Samsung, who makes Vizio.

I spent several weeks researching flat-screen TVs before finally deciding on this Vizio model. It was the least expensive, highest-rated, biggest LCD I could find. Now, 6 months later, I'm still thrilled with it.

At the store the tv had an ok pic - got it home worked ok for about a year and then it made some noise went a little crazy w/ green stripes and died. Vizio was not at all helpful in this situation! Poor customer service!! I feel like after you pay over $1000 for a tv it should last longer than 12 months!! Our mistake was not purchasing the extended warranty but we honestly thought that we could get longer than 12 months out of a tv!! The part to fix the tv is just as expensive as replacing it - which we will not do with another VIZIO!!! We knew we were taking a chance on the brand we've never heard of - don't make the mistake we made!!

We already owned a 37'' Vizio, but wanted to upgrade. Last time we bought from Cosco, but were pleased to see that Walmart's price's were better. We also loved the site to store option, which saved ALOT on shipping...

It took about 5 day's total, then we picked it up all in one piece and wonderful. We couldn't be happier.

Ordered the Visio 47" 120Hz HDTV and picked up at the store about 2 weeks later. Right out of the box the picture looked like nothing I had ever seen before. Programs in HD on Discovery channel or Survivor almost look like they are in 3D. The TV is at a great price, and looks and sounds awesome. I recommend this TV to my fellow co-workers and friends (as well as people I don't know online, like yourself).

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

we have owned this Vizio for about 2 weeks, It is a 47 inch and it is just the berries. Wonderful picture and very easy to setup. I would recommend this television to anyone wanting to buy a new tv. I ordered it as a ship to store and it took a little longer to get then I expected but it was worth the wait. If I have any problem with the set it is that it doesn' have a clock, if it does I sure can't find where it is or the settings for the thing. When you change channels the time doesn't show which is something we were use to. All in All this is a dandy set and I would buy another one and probably will based on 2 weeks using it.

First time purchasing a big screen TV. Did some research about all factors involved and the name Vizio kept coming up in all the reviews I read. Wanted something bigger than the 25" inch we have had for years but didn't want the biggest either. Settled on the 47" Vizio LCD. TV is excellent for watching sports.

I bought this TV 4 weeks ago. After 2 weeks the red bled into all black areas. Called Vizio and they stated they would have someone out to fix this in 3-5 business days. 2 weeks later someone came to fix this. The picture is not as good as it use to be prior to this.

We brought this TV home, set up the bracket to put it on the wall and plugged the TV in. It was easy to use, set up and get going. If even came with the HDMI cable. This is the best TV! I would definately recommed to anyone looking for a great picture at an affordable price. We are not disappointed!

We purchased Vizio in Dec 2007. Twenty days after warranty went out the tv quit working. Vizio was not helpful at all. They said it was the lamp. The lamp was suppose to be good for 50,000 thousand hours. I had only been used about 1,800 hours. We took the tv to the tv repair man and he said Vizio is one of the most expensive to fix. He had a very hard time getting any information from Vizio to do the repairs. Minimum repair bill for 1 year old tv was $580.00 dollars. Needless to say we did not have it repaired. We have now purchased another brand with a warranty. I would not recommend purchase of this television.

I purchased a 50" Vizio Plasma in march of 08.. the only minor problem is the sound,, other then that, an excellent buy. was very impressed for the money paid.. I cant find any plasma 50" Vizio on this site,, plasma's in my opinion are best, 1080i, 178 degree viewing, bright, clear, and all of the above.
