Great Deal VIZIO M470NV 47-Inch 1080p LED LCD HDTV with VIZIO Internet Application, Black
OK, so this review is based on ownership for one week. TV was VERY easy to set up and to hook up to our wireless G network (there is NO benefit from having a wireless N network), it is all about the speed of your internet and has nothing to do with the speed of your network since the internet speed will be the bottleneck, DSL will probably be to slow, the internet app VUDU said I should download movies in 1080P. The Bluetooth remote control that came with the TV controls our cable box (Comcast - Motorola), the remote is AMAZING!!! Net flick looks AMAZING!!! The other internet features are pretty good. I HOPE that the hulu deal that Vizio has done will be playable with this TV. The picture looks awesome!!! BUT there is better technology out there and local dimming is supposed to give you a better picture but it is more expensive. While watching the Home Network (house hunters) I did notice some blue bleeding from the top left corner, I am not sure if it was filmed that way or was the fault of the TV because I did not notice this blue bleeding any other time. Blacks look great, but I don't have twenty TV's next to mine to point out that another TV has better blacks, this TV has a 1:1,000,000 contrast ratio and I am very happy with the picture. I have not played much with the picture options, so the settings that come with the TV are pretty GREAT. I am also happy with the sound; yes there is no bass... its TV speakers.
OK, the TV looks Amazing in standard definition (I was very surprised because usually standard def does not look good with these new 1080P TV's) and High definition. I only watched a preview in 1080P through the internet with VUDU (did not want to spend the $$$ to watch more) and the TV looked amazing. I do not have a blue ray player since I don't like to spend $$$ and I just signed up for Netflix, so I did not even watch a DVD to experiment with. I did not try over the air HDTV, I live in NH where we only get 4 channels and two of them SUCK...lol.
OK, now for the problems. While playing around with the remote, I some how got the TV to freeze within the first 5 hours of ownership. Had to call Vizio (was upgraded to a level three tec), they told me how to reset the firmware by pressing down on the power button on the TV for 30 seconds, but first unplug all cables (this took about 45 minutes). Since then the TV has worked flawless. I thought that there would be a feature that would UPGRADE the firmware... you know... since it is able to hook up to the internet, but I could not find it :(... don't know if this is good or bad. The TV has three USB plugs that do not work, it is suppose to work later on when Vizio fixes their firmware (even though I don't see how it is possible to upgrade it)... so I have read online... I am not to worried, but it would be a nice feature to be able to plug in a usb thumb drive and watch an avi file... personally I would much rather have Hulu going and CANCEL my cable service (this is a dream of mine...lol)
typical cheap quality vizio - Shawn Gregory -
The tv looks ok, but works horrible. The control on the tv and remote completely quit working at least once a day. You cant even turn off the tv by using the power button that is actually on the tv. The only way you can turn it off when you does this is to unplug it. The wireless capability doesnt work. Most of the vizio apps dont work at all, work improperly or are too difficult to use. Dont waste your money go, with a brand with a solid reputation for quality.
Great LED LCD - Jordan -
This tv does everything they say and more. Having netflix built in is awesome. 4 hdmi's is plenty and the 120hz gives very smooth motion on blu rays and sports!!! I am loving this tv right now and I am sure you will too!!

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?
 | With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.
