VIZIO E470VA BEST PRICE
Best valued 47 inch TV full HD with 120hz I could find. I actually bought it at Target on sale for $650. If you don't know anything about tv's I would suggest getting someone to install any tv you buy. Every new tv requires adjustments to picture settings. After I adjusted the settings, I found this to be a great addition to our 24ftx22ft living room. We have it up on the wall and it looks awesome. haven't had any problems after 1 month so I'm sure it will last a long time. Our other Vizio is going on 5 years strong without any issues. The only issue I found with this tv is that it only has one component/composite connection. This is only one combined connection so you can't run component and composite at the same time. It's an issue for me since I don't have all new equipment and I still need a vcr to allow my kids to watch the good ole cartoons. Luckily I had an old receiver I ran everything through and just ran one composite cable to run my dvd, vcr, wii, etc. I have my satellite connected through 1 of the 4 HDMI ports. Picture is awesome....sound....well it's lacking just like all tv's in my opinion but it's not bad. For good sound quality you need a surround sound system. Bottom line is....if you want an excellent tv at a really good price, this is the one for you.

VIZIO E470VA Cheapest 47 Inch I could find, Happy With It.
VIZIO E470VA Cheapest 47 Inch I could find, Happy With It.
This set is replacing a new purchased Samsung plasma 50" that died exactly one year and one week old. So it was out of warranty by one week, and we only used the set for 2 months, the tech said it would cost $500 to fix, forget that. After that bitter pill I was determined to get the cheapest set (NON plasma) I could find at close to that size. Found this as a refurb at many places (first looked at Tiger Direct, with shipping it was over $640, I think) but the Amazon seller "OnSale" had it the cheapest at $545 with shipping included, I just looked since this was purchased 6 weeks ago and OnSale doesn't have any except new ones but that can always change or try ebay
for a refurb, since it's an older model I would be looking at buying a new one because the newer models should be the same $800-900 price listed here.
Got it shipped by a freight company with no setup included. I also need to mention that I am not at home because I'm away working and so whenever I have to replace a TV it's something I will rarely or never use and I hate it. Anyway the Wife picked up on the sound thing the first week and I noticed it while chatting with her by Skype, the volume would come out of nowhere. So since it's only supposed to have a 3 month warranty (refurb) she called Vizio and arraigned for them to service it. They asked her to take 3 pictures of it while it was on, why? I guess there is a hidden bar code that shows up, who knows. I was thinking they were jerking us around with the pictures thing as a inside gag. Anyway I'm sure they are aware of the audio issue with this set beforehand and it would have been nice if they took care of it since it was refurbished but they didn't. My wife was very pleased with the Vizio service people and they sent a tech out (not sure if it was local tech or from Vizio, wife couldn't tell me), the tech replaced a major board on the set that improved the picture a little and fixed the sound so she is happy and I'm happy that I only had to pay $545 for a 47 inch LCD HDTV.
Bottom line, I have no idea what the picture, features, or sound is like as I'm not watching it, but I'm sure it's decent and it was the cheapest I could find, my wife is picky and she's happy and she was used to a Samsung plasma and she says the Vizio is just as nice or maybe better. Now I just hope it holds up but my experience is the cheapest electronics I purchase last the longest in most cases so I'm not sweating it.

VIZIO E470VA Bang for the Buck.
When you factor in price, quality, and performance, this unit is great. Colors are great as with most Vizio TVs, 120hz refresh rate is a great bonus.
If you are looking for good size for the price, this one is great. (Picked it up for $650 on sale)

VIZIO E470VA Good TV for the Price.
VIZIO E470VA Good TV for the Price.
Bought the TV on Amazon for a very good price considering what 47 inch TV's are going for. It has everything I wanted, a great picture for a great price. It does not come with any of the extras new TV's are coming with, 3D and internet connectivity mainly, but that's fine because I did not want 3D and my surround sound does the rest. This TV is not getting 5 stars from me because of the sound, it is unpredictable, commercials are insanely loud and programs are very low even with the "TruSound" option turned on (which it is supposed to normalize all sounds). All that went away when the TV was hooked up to the home theater so don't let that stop you from purchasing it.

VIZIO E470VA REVIEWS
VIZIO E470VA Good bang for the Buck!
I've had this TV about a month now and am generally pleased with its performance VS price. I purchased this TV to replace a 44" 720P Rear Projection that was in my living room. This TV easily out performs that old TV. This TV is really very good when viewing HD sources. I matched a Visio Blu Ray player to use with this TV and there is amazing clarity. But, there is a noticable drop off when viewing non-HD sources like standard TV channels. Seriously, I don't think there are many 1080p sets that offer great standard definition viewing performance. Also, please note that there is an illuminated VISIO faceplate on the face of the TV that stays lit all the time. Now, using the TV in my living room this is not a problem for me, but if I had the TV in my bedroom it would drive me insane as it would probably illuminate half the bedroom! So far the only way I know to turn that light off is to unplug the tv from the power source. Please note that the remote for the VISIO TV was smaller than the remote for the VISIO Blu Ray player-that just seemed a bit odd to me. I also have difficulty menu-editing as when you are done editing they tell you to hit a button with a symbol on it that does not appear on the remote! Note sound output is pretty good-better than my 40" Sony Bravia, but I also am using a 5.1 HDMI theater sound system with it so I can pump it up even to higher levels when needed. On one BD I even had to turn the sharpness down bacause the main actor had 5 o'clock shadow that was so clear it was making me dizzy.
VIZIO E470VA Pretty Good Value.
MY wife actually purchased this TV about a month ago and so far I'd say it was a good purchase; especially for the money spent -just under $700. We replaced a 47in rear projection HD TV with this unit and I can say as far a video quality go, this far exceeds the old unit. Even on non-HD video sources this TV is far superior. When watching HD sources the picture is fantastic. WE have a 1080 up-conversion DVD player hooked to it and it is great to watch all our old movies in new higher definition. The one area that I find lacking is in the sound. The sound from the built in speakers is awfully thin and tiny. We took care of that though by connecting a home theater system for sound. That combo, this Vizio E470VA hooked to a home theater system is just awesome.
VIZIO E470VA Excellent Picture Quality for the Price.
I recently bought this TV to replace a 3 year old 32" Vizio I had in my bedroom (it's a fairly large room). Nothing wrong with the 32", I just wanted to go bigger. The 32" now resides in my daughter's room.
I have a 50" HD Samsung DLP in my living room. But we tend to gravitate towards the bedroom for TV viewing (comfy bed I guess).
I love love love this TV. Great for gaming (PS3), Dish HD looks amazing and blu-ray is unbelievable. Eventually I'll hang it on the wall so I can have the top of my dresser back :).
I purchased this TV at Walmart, about $730 out the door which is about the same price I paid for the 32" Visio.
VIZIO E470VA BEST PRICE, Excellent Picture and Sound.
Assembly and set up was a snap.
We didn't have a good DVD or Blu-ray player, so we use the Xbox360 to play DVDs and it's excellent.
The first movie I watched on it was 'How to Train Your Dragon' and it was incredible. I saw details I never noticed before and the overall experience was fantastic.
Then, I put in 'Sherlock Homles' and it was friggin awesome!
The kids play video games on it (primarily Modern Warfare 2 and Halo Reach) and it looks so real...
One of the best features is the picture presets so you can easily change how it looks for different purposes.
VIZIO E470VA BEST BUY, GRAET VALUE.
Bought this TV as an early Christmas present and couldn't be happier with it. Picture is fantastic, and have not had any issues. Set it up in about 10 minutes. Not sure what went wrong with some of the other reviewers. I would absolutely recommend to friends or family.
