Vizio E470VA 47-inch LCD HDTV 120Hz

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2011

Verified Purchase

Did NOT work properly from day 1! The display looks great on reg. television, BUT when we hooked up the HDMI cable for the Blu-ray player it did not work. We even switched the cables out just to make sure it was not a bad cable. NO HDMI so Vizio first sent a flash drive with new drivers to install. That did not work so they sent out some third party techs to the house and they changed out the board and that did not work. So Vizio brought us a refurbished HDTV like the one we bought at the NEW PRICE! Oh if you are wondering why we just didn't send it back it's because Vizio took so long to fix the television Amazon would not take it back! Anyway, very bad taste for my sister-laws first online television purchase. I have to say Amazon could have done better as well !!!!

Picture was great and the functions were easy but, the darn thing kept shutting off by itself. The volume would all of a sudden get louder and then the thing would shut down and sometimes restart. I returned it. This is the 2nd Vizio I had to return. Amazon was and has been very good with the service in delivery and return, but I just could not take a chance on another Vizio.

Good but could be better.

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2010

We purchased this TV from the Sams club website. It was on sale for $680 which made it a great deal. As far as the image quality and sound I would rate this TV pretty decent. There are some issues with it that you might want to be aware of before purchasing though.

The first issue I noticed was IR interference. As soon as we replaced the old TV with this one, all of the remotes in the living room stopped working. For instance the Dish network remote works about 25% of the time. Sometimes its impossible to get the volume to go up or down without holding the remote just a couple feet from the box. This wasn't just a dish problem because the issue also prevented my WDTV remote from working. I have turned off the Ambient Light Sensor and this has resolved the interference. This could just be me, but why include a feature that someone is surely going to use if a direct result is that all other remotes no longer function.

The second issue I noticed was the smooth motion feature. This could be a defect in the TV I got but the Smooth Motion Demo mode is supposed to display the screen split, allowing you to see what it looks like with smooth motion on vs smooth motion off... This doesn't even work on my TV. You turn the demo on, it does absolutely nothing. On top of that I notice a lot of stuttering and lag on my television. The two sources I tried were SD Dish Network programming (plugged in Coax), and HD and SD content from the WDTV box (plugged in HDMI). Both of these show screen lag when fast motion scenes occur, and camera panning. I know smooth motion is supposed to resolve this issue, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't work properly.

I have to give this one a 3.5 out of 5.

GREAT TV, but low sound.. ;(

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2011

I did extensive research before buying a TV. i went to walmart, costco, best buy..EVERYWHERE..it seems like Amazon had the best price.

The tv is a great size. I live in a about 980 sq foot apartment and teh 47 inches suit our living room well. The picture quality is great. No complaints there.. It's bright and clear.

The only issue is the sound. It's sort of low. I'm in the process of trying to find a sound system to add to our TV. I wish the sound was louder, it's not a huge big deal , we just put it up to 38-45 when watching movies.

Other than the sound not being great this TV is the best bang for you buck. I don't really write reviews because in all honesty i'm lazy but i figured i should start and help out those since i rely on them when i make my purchases on amazon.

If you're looking for a good priced TV, this price can't be beat. with no tax and free shipping it's a steal.

The TV worked perfect out of the box. We got it super fast and my husband set it up and we watched tangled. If i have time i'll add pictures to this review.

oh and one more thing this review is about 3 weeks late. we rcvd our TV may 3, 2011.

Hope this helps.
