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!!!!!

First Class... Review by Jim-PA

After weeks of research and reading reviews on Vizio we bought this system for our family room, I felt we needed to write about our LCD to help others who are researching and need to weed out the good and bad reviews..

for those who just want the skinny.. It is Awesome.. NO issue.. The setup (we have dish) was a snap, plugged in the receive to tv, turned on dish and TV (using vizio remote) let the wizard setup find 1 channel which is 3 for the receiver, clicked exit , Tv did a few things and it turned on with the dish receiver and TV setup and ready to go!!! Wow, that was easy...

Turned to the Dish remote and hit TV and setup the dish remote, codes were on the setup from Vizio... Way to easy...

Made some changes to the TV Audio, If your sound is loud and low off and on, then adjust the SRS.. This will change that ... Not a problem with the TV it is for HTS....

Also note your remote bottom keys can change the screen view mode..

All in ALL this TV is FIRST CLASS and is a great buy....

Watch the people who post negative about the picture and audio they did not read and adjust to their liking.. If you come across something you do not like read the guide and you will find a setting to your liking..

PS.. the WII is awesome with this TV.. and the Football setting can not be topped..
