CNet.com has one of the best reviews of the 47-inch Vizio SV470XVT. The report clearly identifies pluses and minuses, and the set's Editors' Rating accurately puts it in context against what else is available. PC World also weighs in on this LCD TV, but its review is not nearly as informative. HDTVSolutions.com and HDTVExpert.com don't cover the Vizio SV470XVT, but do weigh in on its smaller-sized line-mate, the 42-inch Vizio SV420XVT, which should perform similarly.
Reviewers say that the 47-inch Vizio SV470XVT is an excellent all-around performer and an impressive value. It's loaded with features normally reserved for LCD TVs costing considerably more, including a 120Hz refresh rate and associated signal processing technology to smooth out motion in movies. While that feature isn't appreciated by everyone, and its implementation isn't entirely successful here, colors are accurate, and a wide range of picture controls lets viewers customize the image. With four HDMI inputs, connectivity is first-rate as well. The biggest negative is black levels that don't compare well to some high-end sets, such as the Sony BRAVIA KDL-46XBR6 (*est. $2,120) or the Samsung LN46A650 (*est. $1,515), but this Vizio LCD TV sells for considerably less.
Strength :
* Good value
* Good colors
* Lots of features
* Advanced signal processing
Weakness :
* Unimpressive black levels
* Motion-smoothing technology not completely successful
* Limited off-angle viewing
