- still impressed after almost a year Review by giznan
-
Love, love, love this tv. Went to Costco in May 2011 to get it after much research and they were not carrying it in the warehouse anymore. Happened to talk to the main TV guy at costco and he said that it would be well worth it to pay the extra 99.00 shipping charge and order it online from costco which was still cheaper than anywhere else. He could very well have talked me into something else in the store but told me it was the best picture he had ever seen. I wanted this one mainly because I have such a bright and sunny great room. I am so happy I took his advise. I called directv to order the HD receiver and the guy hooked everything up for me. When he saw my TV he said, "Oh, you got a Vizio, you will love it. The picture quality is the best I have seen yet." You will not be dissapointed with this TV or one similar if they are no longer making this model. I will be a vizio fan from now on.

- 1 year later and still amazed Review by Dave
-
It's not unusual to buy a.new product, turn it on and be impressed. But it is highly uncommon to still be amazed with it a year later and I am with my Vizio television (model XVT473SV). Whether it's a high def TY channel or Blu-ray movie, my visual senses are still tingled by the ultra crisp, clear picture and exceptional colors presented by the Vizio.
In my 60 plus years, this Vizio television is at the top of the list of purchases I'm most pleased with. Thank yuo Vizio for a great product.(Posted on 12/13/11)
- I STILL Love this TV after a year Review by Marybeth
-
I bought this tv as a Christmas gift to myself on Black Friday last year....my brother and nephew helped me set it up and we all were amazed at the clarity and sharpness of the picture. Then my parents came to visit and couldn't get over the quality.
The original set up was totally easy and I needed very few cords (HDMI) for my other equipment (I bought a blu-ray payer at the same time - also terrific and a Vizio) and the HD box etc.).
I did my research before buying and still think I got a great deal ($1149 on Amazon a year ago - now its almost $1500) and compared to the other brands (I shopped in stores to compare until I dropped) the quality to price was unbeatable.
All in all, I STILL think this tv is fantastic - the access to Netflix and other streaming technology is so easy and with the blu ray the clarity of anything HD or 1080P is truly excellent.
BTW: I saw so many comment on the ever present VIZIO logo being lit up - if you all are referring the the On/OFF lite on the frame, it just doesn't stand out to me - it barely registers so I am thinking its the lighting in the room the tv is in.
Happy Thanksgiving!(Posted on 11/23/11)
- so awesome! Review by jaleesarenee

This tv delivers everytime. I've watched my prime movies seamlessly and gone between the uverse and the tv apps like it was nothing. Definitely a vizio fan. Now to get a 3d blu ray and theatre stereo system to go with it...!

- 10 months in and I love it Review by PGM
-
I bought this set at Costco in December of 2010. Here it is November of 2011 and I still love this set.
I must admit that I had buyers remorse at first as I was a dye in the wool Sony guy.
But after I got over the rather large bezel surrounding the screen, and paid attention to the quality, I got over it.
If i had to complain at all it would be to ask for a remote that has a backlight in it.
When you get around to making one would you let me know so I can buy one.
Very good set.

- I Love my XVT473SV additional info Review by Bern
-
I have an error in my review...my L37 was purchased in 2006 not 1996. Though I am sure most people would have figured that out since Vizio is a company that came into the television scene in 2003. Sorry about the mis-information!

- Love my XVT473SV Review by Bern
-
I had been watching the price of the XVT473SV for almost a year now and finally saw a price we couldn't resist. It had been marked down to around $780.00 at our local Sams club. We scooped it up, installed it in less than a half hour and have been living on a cloud since! I am disabled, and spend a great deal of time unfortunately watching TV and streaming Netflix. It has run perfect. The picture is breathtaking and quality is sensational. We have had the TV for about 4 months now and I would buy another in a minute if I needed one. We have an older L37 model Vizio we purchased is 1996 in the bedroom on the wall. It runs perfect, never had a problem (knock on wood)! I have yet to find any other type of television then Vizio that both my husband and I would want and that would meet our needs. I would love to see you tube streaming available, but I am still thrilled with everypart of our TV. As for the VIZIO light, I don't notice it at all anymore, even when watching in a dark room. Do yourself a favor if you are a TV watcher...buy a Vizio!!!

- Getting a new one Review by Bradle
-
Great picture and sound but it keeps turning off with the Vizio light blinking for about 2 to 5 minutes then it comes on again. I've had the master board replaced about 4 months ago because the tv was turning off in the same manner and would not come back on until you unplugged it. I will say the support has been good but not sure about the warranty on the replaced tv. Vizio says I only get 90 days on the replacement. I am requesting a year on the replacement like the new one I bought.

- I want one more Visio,,,, The Best I Love Visio Review by Dan
-
I Didn't know what a sharp picture was untill I bought this visio at wall-Mart. He told me the higer HRZ The better the picture ,( I think he recommended 620hrz) I,ve seen Plasmas Lcd and every thing in between. This Guy at wal-mart led me to the best T.V. there,.(Ask them which TV they like). Maybe I got lucky but I am so happy with this Visio , I think everyone should give them a chance. I did 'nt buy the cheap one. $100.00 more but that T.V. kicks butt...... Watch your GHZ (620 I think) You will love it)
