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.
