Vizio SV472XVT Review – 47-inch LCD HDTV
Originally Reviewed on July 24th, 2009Vizio SV472XVT Review: 47” LCD HDTV
Up for Review: Vizio SV472XVT LCD TV. Vizio introduced three new models to stay afloat in the highly competitive HDTV market. These models include the all new Internet connected technology with widgets marking the display panel of your TV. With Samsung taking away all the top honors, Vizio was not one to be left behind. It has brought together its show with the new Internet connected fare. The next technology to be integrated will certainly be the LED technology, introduced by Samsung.
The other significant features of these new HDTVs are an integrated wireless networking, widget technology and an innovative remote. The remote is something to be proud of. It resembles the modern day cell phone with a sliding qwerty keyboard. It also has a Bluetooth feature which will help transfer data from the Internet. The sliding feature saves a lot of space and makes the remote look rather sleek. The remote also has all the modern features of the Universal remote. The essential buttons are also well designed on the remote.

This upcoming model is due to be launched towards the end of 2009 and is expected to contain the Smart Dimming LED backlight. These backlights will be helpful in preserving essential power and will also produce less heat. The Vizio SV472XVT also adheres to the Energy Star 3.0 requirements. In fact, it consumes a lot less power than the stipulated requirements.
The audio of the Vizio SV472XVT is just outstanding. SRS TruSurround technology makes sure that the sound is very pleasing to the ears. Even if you are sitting very far from the TV, you will be able to distinctly hear the dialogues and the music. Along with the audio, the video is also very good. It has full 1080p resolution and 240 Hz refresh rate. This means that the picture quality is stunning with absence of blurring and artifacts. If you are interested in trying out the new LED technology, then this HDTV is the one you should consider. You are sure to get a good HDTV on your hands with a price tag of $1699.99 MSRP.

We have 4 of these and purchased them from Sam’s Club.
They are perfect for all sports action, as the refresh rate is tremendous.
The picture is extremely clear and detailed.
The picture, given the 240hz, really makes the action appear 3D.
Check these out – they are an excellent TV and the on-screen menu is very easy to follow and make adjustments with.
I give this tv a 5 star rating.

Purchased at Sam’s Club for $1199 Excellent TV. Easy setup, with great picture and sound. The on screen menu is easy to use, great remote control makes adjustments painless. Variety of video (football-golf-movie) / audio (pop-rock-classical) settings.
Rate this 5 stars.

Amherst guy is not talking about this tv- he is talking about a different model without wifi & internet apps- not vizio sv472xvt but vizio xvt472sv. How shady of Vizio is that, the way they try to confuse people?
Sofaking Nasty's reviewFebruary 17, 2010
Is the 472xvt model available for sale at any other site other than vizio.com?
