CNET Reviews the Vizio SV470XVT 47-inch 1080p LCD HDTV

Vizio SV470XVT 1080p LCD HDTV

CNET has reviewed the Vizio SV470XVT, a 47-inch 1080p LCD HDTV with a 120Hz refresh rate. They gave it a 7.3 out of 10, making it their highest-rated Vizio HDTV.

They liked the Vizio’s inexpensive price, “highly accurate color,” extensive picture controls, and 4 HDMI inputs and PC input. They didn’t like the poor black levels, somewhat “pedestrian design,” and some artifacts with the dejuddering processing.

The Vizio SV470XVT has a a msrp of $1,699, which is a big jump compared with Vizio’s other 47-inch 1080p LCD, the $1,199 Vizio V047LF. What do you get for that extra $500? Check out the chart:

Vizio’s new XVT line is an attempt at breaking into the higher end LCD and plasma market. The CNET review score puts in on the same level as comparably featured sets from Sony and Samsung at an aggressive price. With Vizio’s history of price cutting, this should be a set to watch.
