Customer Reviews
- Great HD TV Review by bwd116
-
This is my first HD TV and I am amazed. Had it up and running in 30 minutes. The picture is awesome ! I thought about tweaking the picture, but it's so good with the factory defaults, I've left it alone. I did over 2 months research before purchasing, and I'm extremely satisfied with this TV. Yes, there are more expensive TV's out there, but , for the price I paid at Sam's, this TV provides the best value!
What a GREAT TV !(Posted on 9/1/10)
- Incredible Review by Cubear

I purchased my Visio Tv after going to visit it several times at Sam's Club. It stood out among its competition. It offered every feature I was looking for. It is energy star with the best picture I have seen. I own 4 other flat screen tv's and I can't wait to upgrade them all to Vizio. This tv is by far outstanding in it's class quality and pricing. Way to go once again vizio give yourselves a hand for a product well designed and manufactured.

- Simply WOW! Review by jwales
-
I picked up this TV, or rather had it shipped to my door, about 4 weeks ago and I have to say that as the owner of a few LCD TVs and a HDTV owner since 2005, this is one impressive TV. By far the best picture I have seen on any TV on the market for LCD/LED. The apps are not very useful but fun nonetheless and the sound is perfectly adequate. But once again I have to say that the picture quality was truly amazing. Tested it out on the free HDX VuDu movie app that comes with the TV (HD IMAX Under The Sea) and it was shockingly clear and crisp and even looked almost 3D at times. I highly recommend this TV and at the price, you simply cant go wrong.

- Worth every penny Review by rick
-
I've owned this TV for 4 months now and it's great. So much more bang for your buck than other "name" brands. Picture quality, sound , wireless connectivity, are all great. My only negative comment would be that all 3 USB ports are not functional at this time. USB connectivity was a factor in my purchase and I hope Vizio will enable these ports soon.

- You're right!, It does rock!! Review by DS
-
I've had my SV472XVT for a couple weeks now and have found myself glued to it. I use the Internet apps all the time and have connected my PC to it via HDMI. Surfing the web in 47" of HD is the only way to go. I only have two things I wish I could do with it that I can't, 1) use the USB ports. THe unit has 3 USB ports and I can't use them. 2) I can't do a PIP with my HDMI ports. I would like to be able to do a PIP with my PC and cable service.. I am hoping that both of these options will be available in future firmware releases. Those to things aside, I brag about my Vizio all the time. :-)

- Was Worth The Wait!!!! Review by BartmanLA
-
I got this model during the VIA VIP promotional campaign, so I got the free BR player and Soundbar. The delivery was fantastic, it was opened to check for damage by the delivery people, I didn't have to lift a finger. Set up was a snap, HDMI cables are a godsend. Since this was my very first big screen HDTV, I was not prepared for the difference, I literally sat there staring at the screen and was blown away how crisp, clear and bright it was! I have had it for about 3 months now and I still marvel at how wonderful it looks, and the quality of the workmanship of the unit is top notch too, fit and finish are very professional looking, the heat output is very low as well. Everyone that see's the TV comments on how great the picture is, and they are very impressed with the VIA Apps too, they're so fun to play with and use. Netflix streaming is flawless, Pandora works great, I have a HTPC connected to it as well so web surfing and playing media files is incredibly good! I have recommended this model to a number of people and 3 others have purchased a Vizio LED model and are just as happy as I am. VIZIO you Rock!

- SV472XVT Review by Dave
-
PIcked this Great TV up at Sams about 3 weeks ago. I LOVE IT! It had been looking and reading about all HDTV's since Jan. and I decided this was the one for me. I went to store and looked at it, not even close to the great picture I had when I hooked this up at home. Easy to get out of box, easy hook up, it leads you through it all. Hooked up to my 5.1 system and I could not get over had great it sounded, even without the 5.1 the TV sounds great on it's own. I am still playing with all the picture settings and Apps. Apps are just a very cool bonus, now there are even games. I cannot wait till football season to watch all the games, I just hope my teams look as good as my TV does.
Vizo thanks for making this TV. Please add a YouTube App also.(Posted on 5/29/10)

This is the first full weekend I had this TV. In my opinion it doesn't get much better than this. You can't go wrong with this TV. If you read the other reviews you get an idea this is one great tv. Never seen reviews for a product where there was no negative comments.

- Pretty cool Review by Stacy

Just got this TV for a steal at Sam's for under $1200, it has a fantastic picture and sound is super. It took a minute to get the picture settings like I wanted, but I am very satisfied with the product. Vizio has great quality and I recommend this set to anyone.
