SV471XVT *** FREE SHIPPING ***

Product Review (submitted on December 7, 2009):

General Comments:
Just purchased this tv for our basement family room. It replaced an old rear projection tv. True, no comparison to the older technology, however, this tv is way above the competition. We have a 1080p 60hz Toshiba upstairs that we use daily. I can honestly say that the Vizio is a superior television is all respects. The picture from direct tv is so crisp it is almost 3D !! The high def. pictures from our local channels via antenna are also top shelf. Definitely recommend this tv to any looking for high quality at an affordable price.

Specifics:
1) The remote is excellent. It allows you to change the aspect ratio with one button by toggling through the choices. Also has buttons for various inputs, such as tv, hdmi and so on. We normally switch between tv and satelite (direct tv) and the remote remembers which hdmi input you last came from. So when switching, its simply a one button move. Going to the blue ray player or another dvd source, you just have to toggle it to the correct input. Way simpler than our toshiba. A fine remote, and I must say a highly attractive one too.
2) The screen looks great with equal lighting over the entire area. No dark spots at the corners or edges. I'd say its about as perfect as it can get !
3) The resolution is awsome. We watched the Alabama Florida game and were absolutely blown away by the detail and 240hz frame speed.
4) All the inputs are there. Three hdmi inputs on the back, as well as component video and optical digital audio output to our sound system. An additional hdmi is on the side for temporary input of various sources, plus a set of rca inputs. All you need is there.
5) The menu is excellent. You have the ability to setup the tv just how you want it, and can adjust the picture levels to your preference. There are presets for football, basketball, baseball, movies, and more. Again, .....amazing.

You'll be very happy with your Vizio !!
