VL470M *** FREE SHIPPING ***

Product Review (submitted on April 7, 2010):

I had an old 19" CRT TV until I bought the vl470m a couple of months ago. I couldn't find a lot of professional reviews for this model online, but the few I did find all gave it higher scores than more expensive models from the bigger brands. Just comparing it side by side to the other models at Walmart I was very impressed. The picture quality is really amazing. I can see where others are coming from who say the smooth motion mode makes things look "weird" in some cases. I usually turn it off when I'm watching movies, but for some things it really works amazingly well. I got the Planet Earth series on blu-ray, and a lot of the aerial panning shots look kind of jerky, but with the smooth motion mode on looks so smooth it's like water flowing or something. District 9, which was shot in kind of a documentary style, also benefited greatly from the smooth motion mode in my opinion. I've heard it works great for sports as well, although I couldn't care less about sports myself. And gaming with my ps3 just looks great either way. The 4 HDMI inputs are a nice addition, as is the ability to play video files off a jump drive, although I haven't tried that yet.

I do wish the remote had a button to change the zoom mode for HDTV and a button to change the smooth motion setting without going into the menu, but that's about my only complaint.

All in all I have to say it was worth every penny.
