VIZIO E470VL Great TV!!! Best bang for your buck.
I've only had this TV for a month, so I can't comment on its reliability. So far, the picture is awesome, and the base of the TV stand doesn't take up much room, so it fits well on top of our fireplace mantle. Trivial comment, but it looks neat how the "Vizio" light on the front of the TV turns from white to orange when turned off. Great bargain for what you pay. The sound does get very low when there are quiet conversations, and then is too loud during louder moments. I suppose every TV will have its criticisms. The shipping was handed off by Pilot to a local carrier, but luckily no issues. Actually saved some money by going through Amazon vs. Walmart. Hopefully, we'll have this TV for a very long time.

VIZIO E470VL BEST PRICE, Great Picture, Great Price!
VIZIO E470VL BEST PRICE, Great Picture, Great Price!
I have been in the market to upgrade our 3 year old 37 inch Vizio with a bigger model. Finally, this weekend I broke down and bought the Vizio 47 inch LED LCD TV from a local warehouse. Right out of the box, I had problems with it. After tweaking the settings (including turning off the ambient light sensor) I was able to get the picture looking pretty good. But then I noticed a significant buzzing noise coming from the base of the unit. It was very prominent when it was on an input that was not receiving a signal and got a little quieter when a signal was coming in. The buzzing was not loud, but definitely noticeable and something I knew would consistently bug me. Because there have been so many poor reviews on that model, I decided to take it back in favor of another TV. Back at the store, I could not pass up the less than $700 deal on the Vizio E470VL 47" LCD. Although the picture didn't look as good as some of the other models in the store (sony, samsung), I could not justify spending the extra money for the other sets. After getting the new TV home and setting it up, I am glad I stuck with the Vizio! The picture is awesome! I think it looks better than the LED TV I took back! The sound is good and it operates without any noise, buzzing, etc. This is the 4th Vizio I have purchased and I will continue to purchase and recommend their products.

VIZIO E470VL Good big TV for the price and features.
VIZIO E470VL Good big TV for the price and features.
I purchased one of these Vizio E470VL in September in preparation of the football season. I did get this at a big box store because they had some sales prices that even Amazon couldn't beat. If you are not a TV guru needing to have the latest and greatest and want a big TV this is for you. I upgraded from a 40 inch Sony Bravia from a big box store and it is night and day size and quality.
I had always thought Vizio was some junk brand and you'd have to check your "man card" in for buying one. But the 2010 line of Vizio LCD are really good.
When you do get one of these, like the other reviewers mention TURN OFF the auto motion and other supposed settings that are to help picture quality. These are on by default and I immediately though I made a mistake. Watching a football game was like being in a cave and had that silent movie pciture effect going on. Turn those settings off (which make it brighter and probably raise your electric bill) and it was really good.
Note if you are going to buy one to ensure you are getting the E470VL (and not VA) as the VA might be cheaper but it is lesser quality IMO. Also make sure you are getting the 2010 version of this. You'll know because the 2009 version had this ugly very large clear section under the TV. Because I liked this TV so much, I recently purchased an E550VL (the 55" version of this guy) and the big box store I got it from tried pulling a fast one and brought the old one to the register. I am pretty sure all new Vizio LCD at least are in green and black boxes.

VIZIO E470VL Great Deal!
VIZIO E470VL Great Deal!
This is a great product for a great price. The picture quality is wonderful and the delivery went smoothly, the person delivering even helped set it up!
VIZIO E470VL i love this tv!
the good: price- i picked it up on here for a great price right through amazon. ive been checking around and the best prices are typically on amazon. you might want to add a few different tv's to your cart and check back daily, wait until one drops a few hundred... and grab it up.
picture quality- it's awesome. i was worried about buying a tv without seeing it but it looks as good as a tv can look. i've checked out plasmas but i prefer the look of an lcd. they also are supposed to be easier on the electric bill and last longer. plasmas may have a 600hz refresh rate, but at 120hz this thing looks perfect. 60hz looks great, anything more than that is awesome. the color is perfect, it supports 1.06 billion colors and the contrast ratio it double of what most in this price range are [...] everything looks like its right infront of you.
sound- i was a bit worried i wouldn't like the speakers on the vizio but they are as good as any television i've heard. they pack a punch when i dont have the receiver hooked up. i did have to mess with the settings on these a bit but a major plus to this tv is that it has an equlizer. thats right, tweak it.
remote- i had a few problems setting my remote up to all of my other stuff but once i reset it to its original factory settings and put in all of the codes again it worked like a charm. i put away the other two remotes and now i dont have to mess with three, just the vizio remote. awesome!
the not so good... delivery- 3 days late and they didnt call me, i called them. the box was also a big rough... but its here now.
tv stand- it had to be screwed on to the tv. not a huge deal.
hookups- i would've liked two component hookups. i like the look on the tv with my tivo (its only up to 720p) and the wii has that cable. my 2 year old 32" has more hookups (other than one less hdmi.) again not a huge deal.
wrap up- worth the wait and every penny (if it lasts the ten years its supposed to..) im also glad i went with a 47" instead of 42" it looks more like a big screen (obviously).

VIZIO E470VL A great TV just got better
VIZIO E470VL A great TV just got better
I just got my TV a month ago on black Friday, and absolutely love it, what really took me by surprise is the sound quality, sometimes I get a feeling of surround sound just from the TV. The only drawback was what seems to be the most common problem with the ambient sensor, i.e. the picture was dark and my remotes were sluggish. I have turned it off (thanks to reading these reviews) and now everything works fantastic! Great TV

VIZIO E470VL REVIEWS
VIZIO E470VL Fantastic Value- Great 47 inch Flat Screen.
Recently purchased at Sam's Club for $748. TV was easy to set up and has lots of custom adjustments. Image quality is excellent, built in Sound is OK. Has a built in ambient Light sensor that dims brightness of screen automatically depending on room lighting, but I prefer an always bright screen, so turned the Light Sensor off. Very happy with this purchase, and if you are looking for a 47 inch flat screen LCD you have to take a look at this unit, its a great value!
VIZIO E470VL AWESOME!
I've owned this television for about a month now, and after you set it up and customize it to your viewing preference (it has a lot of options to tinker with) it's quite amazing. The picture is brilliant, vivid, sharp, and blacks are nice and dark. The smooth motion effect takes some getting used to because at times it may make a movie or show look like it's in fast forward when the camera is panning- I suggest keeping it on the "Medium" setting to counter this. The speakers are excellent, clear and loud. Vizio has really stepped it up with this t.v.
VIZIO E470VL Amazing Value! Surprisingly fantastic quality!
I've now had this TV for one year and I had purchased it for $80 more than it's going for now. I came back to buy a second one for a friend. The image quality is excellent. Many LCDs pick up glares easily or you can't see them at an angle, but that isn't an issue with this Vizio. I have a kitchen table almost level to the tv and I can still sit there and see the image pretty well.
The only reason I took 1 star away is because of the speakers. The sound is very clear and crisp when listening to TV and most movies. However, some movies with very quiet scenes can barely be heard even when you increase the volume high up. This doesn't happen very often, but I assume a small speaker would fix the issue.
I would recommend this TV to anyone!
VIZIO E470VL Best Price, GREAT TV!
Purchased this at CostCo. I wasn't expecting great things because of the relatively low price but the picture quality is amazing, better than the other 3 LCDs in our home. The HD picture is so clear that it took getting use to because the images seemed so real. It has an ambient light sensor which dims the screen light in dark and brightens it in daylight. I found it gets too dark at night for my liking. To disable the ambient sensor follow this sequence on the remote (Menu - Picture - More - Advanced Picture - Ambinet Light Sensor - off). Good luck.
VIZIO E470VL Best Buy, Works Well.
Picture is great. Works well with my dish remote. Lots of options regarding the picture but their suggested settings are fine. Don't be afraid of this TV. I got for a really good price at Wally World but thought I would put the review here in case someone wanted some info regarding the TV, I think it is the best value out there.
