XVT472SV

Product Review (submitted on May 14, 2010):

Our 5-year old DLP TV finally gave up the ghost, so we did a lot of shopping and researching for a replacement. We finally settled on the Vizio XVT472SV, even though it didn't quite match the apparent picture quality of other showroom sets. Quite simply, we are simply blown away by the picture, the ease of setup, and the overall quality of this TV! It is absolutely true what many say about the showroom images; once in our house and slightly calibrated, the picture quality is beyond compare. Picture quality is so sharp that sometimes I'm not sure if I'm seeing real people or computer-generated images! In my mind, you cannot find another HDTV with this level of quality at such a staggeringly low price!

Setup was a breeze. Attaching the DirecTV receiver and BluRay player were easy as well; from box to up and running in under 30 minutes. The remote is fantastic; the QWERTY keyboard is a nice addition. It would be nice if it were illuminated, though. Built-in Wi-Fi is fantastic; I connected to my wireless network in less than 1 minute.

The VIA Internet apps are a nice addition, although we really only use Netflix's streaming video. The addition of Pandora would be great.

The bottom line: If you are in the market for a new HDTV, the Vizio XVT472SV is a must-have!
