VIZIO Class XVT Series TruLED XVT472SV 47-Inch 240 Hz sps LCD HDTV (Black) Review



$1,449.99




Before purchasing this TV I purchased 2 Samsungs and 1 LG. Both of those were on sale at best buy for 999. The first two samsungs were the 120hz non LED and were nice TVs however both came out of the box with a dead pixel so they were returned. I previoulsy had a Samsung 32in and it had been great, so needless to say I lost a little faith in Samsung and I’ve been a long time Samsung fan. The LG I bought also had a dead pixel out of the box! (and overall I wasnt that impressed with the picture quality aside from that.)

I decided to get my money back and take a break, then I saw this TV on amazon. Aside from the horrible delivery service, this TV is great. The picture quality is stunning. The low profile and thin bezel really make this set even more attractive. The universal remote is nice for connectivity. The lack of internet did not affect me because I have an xbox 360 and I am soon buying a PS3. I picked this up for 1299 on amazon but even at 1450 its a great deal. However considering this set went up to the same price as the same set with internet, it would make sense to just get the one with internet I suppose. The LED backlighting creates a very vibrant picture and the color is just breath taking. SD programming is so so but I blame my cable box and comcast for the little quirks that are seen during SD programming. Another thing that drew me to this set is that it has a matte finish on the screen. The samsung was a semi-gloss and was rather reflective. Even in low lighting, during dark video games I could see myself. Not cool. The vizio reflects a little light but is a matte screen so it’s a world of difference.

The only complaint I have is there seems to be very slight edge distortion (that is the very edge of the picture where you are never looking) on certain input types but again I dont blame the TV because when I put my Windows 7 PC on input there is not a flaw to be found. I’ve also been told vizio has great customer support and offer a year in home repairs on TV’s this size. Vizio also offers a zero bright defective pixel gaurentee.

Sound is as good as any TV. I dont weigh this in usually because I use a surround sound receiver.
