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

Just thought I’d add another review to the mix of those who have come before me.

Like most folks shopping for a hdtv, I did a fair amount of research prior to commiting to this vizio. That consisted of going to several retail stores to compare prices and view their displays, to looking up the reviews on consumer reports and cnet. For those shopping for a new television, I highly recommend this process. There is nothing worse than settling for a tv that may eventually have problems down the line. I did that a couple of years ago when I impulsively bought a 32 inch Emmerson hdtv that was a door buster sale on Black Friday. For the first year, the Emmerson was a decent tv, but it eventually produced horrific results by a distorted screen and sound issues. Now granted, I’ve only had this Vizio unit for a couple of weeks and there is no telling what may happen a year or two from now, but based on the reviews that I have read as well as how impressive it looked in the store, I decided that this was going to be the tv I would invest in. Thus far, I am thoroughly impressed.

I’m certainly not a technical guru, but I can say that the quality of this television matches its samsung/sony counterparts at a more reasonable price. I am very pleased with the vibrant colors and crystal clear screen. What’s more impressive is the smart dimming feature. Whether viewed in a well lit room or in the dark, the screen produces amazing results. Set up was very easy as it only took about 10 minutes to plug in, configure, and enjoy. The system setups are fairly easy to tweak to one’s preference, and there are several screen displays that match the type of media watched, be it football, baseball, movies, games, etc. One can view the screen through nearly any angle. With our seating arrangements, we are pleased to be able to view a quality screen through nearly every angle.

If I had one complaint, it would be the “soap opera effect” this unit has when viewing programs. For those not familiar with the “soap opera effect”, I found a great article that explains it: [...]

Initially, I really enjoyed the soap opera effect because it makes many characters in programs look insanely real, as if one is right there among the scene. I was impressed with this effect when watching shows like “The Office” or any type of sports. However, this effect also seems very unnatural during programs not intended to feel as real. The other day I was watching an animated show with my son and it had the soap opera effect. It seemed a little weird to see a cartoon character move around with a soap opera effect, but it didn’t bother me. Infact, it sort of made the characters look 3D, if that makes any sense. The effect did become a little bothersome when I was watching an old Jimmy Stewart movie. It’s certainly an effect that takes a little getting used to. There is an option on the unit to turn off the smooth motion capability, but in contract to my minor grievances on the effect, my family seems to enjoy it.

Over all, for the price of this unit and the specs that it contains, I feel really good about choosing this unit over the rest. The picture is stunning and clear, the sound quality is fantastic, and the setup options are surpurb in terms of allowing one to perfect their viewing preferences. With positive reviews all around and an affordable price, this television is certainly worth every consideration.

VIZIO SAYS 42-INCH TRU-LED MODELS WILL BE OUT IN “SUMMER OF 2010″ – ENGINEER 10388 – RALEIGH, NC
The other 5-star reviews for this True-LED, 240 Hz model are right on target. I want a smaller size (42-inch) for another room so I got in touch with Vizio to see if one was planned. They said 42-inch versions of their SV472XVT and XVT472SV (non-internet) would be available in the summer of 2010. I presume they will be called the SV422XVT and XVT422SV, respectively. If Amazon stocks them (hint, hint) then I’ll be one of many purchasers.

Everything about this Vizio HDTV is perfect. – William Heinisch – Austin, Texas
Please don’t waste your money on more expensive HDTV’s. This has the greatest picture of any HDTV out there. I spent 6 months researching and checking out all brands and models. I am so happy I chose this one. It is just truly unbelievable. You will love this TV I promise.
Also, I would recommend getting a Vizio sound bar. You do not need to spend a lot on a surround sound system. Just this sound bar is amazing. It is surround sound and can be bought here on Amazon.
But please if you are looking for a top of the line HDTV, this Vizio is the one to get.
