VIZIO M470NV

 

A scientific, in-depth analysis with side-by-side comparisons

The Vizio M470NV certainly didn’t wow us with it’s performance. The black level and contrast ratio disappointed. The color curves were terrible, completely losing the highlights in the blue channel. It’s also not a terribly attractive TV, with hips...

Nice value

 

Use this as my "man cave" TV for sports and movies. I Like it has apps, good quality no issues. Picture quality is better than a Sony Bravia I had bought years ago. I have it hoooked up to a vizio surround sound via optical output and works excellent....

Can't browse the internet. Wish you could stream "live" YouTube shows. Remote could be better done

Excellent Buy for the Price!

 

I bought this VIZIO on January 30 2011, but not from Newegg. Wal*M had the same model in-store that Newegg had at that time. No shipping charge if I bring it home from there. Could not get free shipping, so I bought there. PLUS, got $200 off the listed...

All resolutions supported from standard to 1080i/p, 120Hz refresh rate, Side-Lit LED LCD, 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, every input imaginable eg; 75 Ohm (coaxial) RGB (computer connectivity) composite (red, yellow, white), component (red, blue, green...

Wireless ethernet can't be WPA2, as my home network *is*. Had to "dumb down" the wireless G from WPA2 64 bit password to WPA & a 14 bit password to connect. Finally ran a CAT5 cable to the set for better reliability compared to wireless. Other devices...

M470NV

 

I bought this model after thanksgiving and really like the built in wireless connectivity and netflix apps. They work really well. It still needs an app to surf the web using Google. The picture is pretty good. The sound is good

I returned the TV because it would turn off in the middle of watching it about once every two weeks. It then would require unplugging and replugging the power to reset it. When I returned it the salesman said that he had one other customer return one...

Awesome TV

 

This TV is huge but light, the apps are cool, but too bad they don't have like a yahoo search widget to use to look up info. Maybe they will soon. The colors and HD are awesome and I use it to play call of duty: black ops for PS3 and it rocks. Great...
