Thumbs-Up Review by DaveOfMaine

I've only owned mine for two days now, having bought it at Sam's Club on Saturday, April 3rd. Got it home, set it up. Once I figured out one minor mistake I made setting it up (forgot to switch the input from composite to HDMI, duh), it was great.

The picture, fantastic. The colors? Superb. The first DVD (not BlueRay...DVD...), we watched on it was "Up", which was spectacular.

Last night, we watched the season opener Red Sox/Yankees game, which was also spectacular.

So far, I can't say enough good about it. Having only had it two days, and watched two things on it, who knows? But so far, I'm blown-away by the quality, the picture, the features, and the price. From what I can see, the Sony Bravia, which was what I used as the benchmark, is the only TV that's even in the same league, and that's at a much higher price.

Worth considering...Ask me again in a month...but I expect to continue to be satisfied...

VIZIO --i love you !!----- Review by rgue

i did research the heck out of hdtvs... but the ultimate decision came with the old tried and true test................. standing in front of all brands for a half hour ,

critiquing them in my head ,,,, and the answer was painlessly effortless.............

in addition to the picture awesomeness, the integrated audio features are incredible.

i M HOOKED ON VIZIO FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE...........
soooooo worth the money

VERY IMPRESSED Review by BOB AND PJ

My husband and I went "looking" at TV's today in 5 different stores. Finally when walking into Sams we were both drawn to the screen of a 47 inch Vizio. We had pretty much decided that we wanted an LED TV for the clear picture but this LCD looked much better. We decided to take a chance and... it is fantastic! We brought it home and I had it set up in 5 minutes. We are so very impressed with the picture quality we will definitely recommend this TV to our friends and family!

Absolutely Amazing Review by Dave

My first HD TV was/is a Toshiba 42 in LCD. We were very pleased with the Toshiba and still use it daily. We then added a Panasonic 32 inch LCD for our bedroom. However last December while at Sams Club, intending to buy a large format Panasonic for our basement family room, we ran across a Vizio on display. Granted they were playing a blue ray "Ice Age" dvd, but it sure took us by surprize. My wife and I just stood there in amazement. It was almost as if you could reach in and pet the Ice age animals. The color balance and definition was about as perfect as I can imagine. Not being totally convinced, we asked to have the same blue ray movie put into another player hooked up to a similarly priced, but slightly larger 50" Panasonic. Both my wife and I looked at each other, and then without talking shook our heads in unison.

We bought the 47" Vizio. On our way out of the store, a kindly old man offered to help load the tv into our van. He said he bought his first Vizio last spring. He then said we will really like this TV. Boy was he right. We had the TV on for Christmas family get-togethers and everyone said boy what a great TV. And then for the SuperBowl party everyone was glued to the set. Many never heard of a Vizio, but they all went away VERY impressed. We just finished adding a receiver and speakers, plus a Vizio Blue Ray player. I just can't imagine how it can get any better than this !! Go Vizio.

love it Review by Adam

This is my first Vizio a SV471XVT it looks so good right out of the box I could not believe it. I call all of my friends over to see it they all loved it. I wanted bigger for my living room so off the bedroom with this 47". ( would buy again) it work great for a master bedroom.
Then I had to buy the VF551XVT for the living room. Out of the box had to adjust the picture some but now it WOW the blacks are so black. Would buy both again well ( maybe not) next TV will be a VIZIO but not a 47" or 55" I want the 72" so I am looking forward to that

BEST BUY I HAVE! Review by THEGUY

I looked at SAMSUNG, SONY, SHARP and VIZIO. At first SAMSUNG was my first pick but then I found VIZIO and it looked cheap so I researched all of VIZIOS tvs and found this was the one. Why you ask, well I will tell you. Great to play games on, watch movies on and to see HD is amazing with this one. The sound was great to (It's hard to find good sound these days.) The remote is so cool and never stops working (To bad I have to use the sattlites remote the most.) Although It only has a contrast ratio of 50,000 it has stunning results. So I would recommend it to anybody. There is onemore word Ihave to say.

THE BEST TV EVER THAT I BOUGHT!

Quality, value and a sexy remote Review by CruzOne1

I must say, the picture on this TV is mind blowing. I passed up on a samsung 610 series and a Sony Bravia VL for the exact same price and I am not dissapointed. So many video watching options and lets be clear all LCD's have motion or pixel issues, it's the nature of the beast but I have very few issues with this TV and the 240 SPS which is the same as 24p in the Sony, LG, and Samsung just a different name. The one thing this TV has that surpases what the high end TV manufacturer will skimp on is a sleek and Sexy remote. It has black laquer on top, chrome in the middle and the battery or bottom area is charcoal with grip, you have to see it and it is very functional. Manufacturers just don't undersatnd how aesthetics mean so much to the consumer and this was another reason I chose this TV. Vizio, in the future, could you put a XVT logo in the top left corner, like the Bravia and Regza have.....I'm just saying...lol. Great buy!

LOVE THE VALUE! Review by kipandden

We just HAD to replace a 1 year old 42 inch magnavox that the motherboard went out on that we purchased at Samsclub. First let me say that Sams were GREAT! even though it was just beyond the 1 year warranty...they offered us a store credit for the entire purchase price on the magnavox for a new tv. We went with the 47 inch this time. We could not be happier! The visio is FAR superior to the magnavox in every way. Can not wait to get the 55 inch that they offer next for the walk out basement!!! BRAVO VIZIO!!!!!
