VIZIO M470SV Simply Outstanding for the Money.
I really researched this TV before buying it and found that it has so many more features that others in the same price and category. I was concerned that others had written reviews and were unhappy with the TV because it was turning itself off. I have Verizon fios service and have 3 standard TVs in my home. One of the TVs started turning itself off and I was unable to turn the TV back on using the fios remote. I had to wiggle the wires and reboot the STB to get it back on. After wrestling with the problem with Verizon....Here is what we found out. Nothing was wrong with the TV. It was the STB (set box top). The set top box was replaced by Verizon with the same model which I had sent back. TILT! Had the same problem. However, a technician with Verizon who knew his business, had me remove all connection cables in and out of the STB then clean them with alcohol. I have not experienced the problem again. I made sure the new Vizio TV had the proper size cable and clean connections going into and out of the STB..No Problems. Simply amazed with the Vizio TV.

VIZIO M470SV Absolutely beautiful TV.
VIZIO M470SV Absolutely beautiful TV.
This TV is amazing. The picture is perfect. The sound is fine. I have it connected to my dolby stereo system and it sounds great. It makes all dvd's played on my Panasonic dvd recorder look HD. Even old old shows from the 60's. I almost didn't buy this brand because of negative reviews of the support from Vizio. Well, I have called them 3 times so far. Each time was for a minor problem, such as I couldn't find the Yahoo widgets. Turned out they changed the name of that app. Similar results from the other two calls...immediate resolution of problem The tech support people are the best. They are patient with dumb questions, they answer the call almost immediately without being on hold, they don't sound bored, and you can understand them, they speak English. I will be buying Vizio products from now on

VIZIO M470SV Great TV.
VIZIO M470SV Great TV.
This TV has been great. I was a little skeptical at first but I am 5 months with the TV and it has been sensational. Came in original box, with remote, batteries, easy to follow user guide. Color, contrast, wifi is all great on this TV. I wish there were more APPs but its still a great TV. Best TV I have every owned.

VIZIO M470SV So Far So Good.
VIZIO M470SV So Far So Good.
So far the unit has preformed fine. I have not experienced any of the "turn off" issues described in many of the reviews. It will turn off after several minutes of no signal, as described in the manual. We do not have any HD content though our rural cable provider but have watched some std. DVD's and the Quality looks good. Our internet connection is fairly slow (< 1MB/sec download) but have watched several streaming movies from Netflix and Amazon via plain G WiFi router. I'm sure a better N router with a high speed BB connection would give us great quality. I like the internet widgets(apps) more than I thought. Netflix and amazon streaming, pandora radio etc. are nice. The facebook interface is clunky and the news feeds have found little use. We REALLY WISH it had a Skype widget with a compatible USB camera as both of our kids live a few states away and this would be better than huddling around a computer to Skype. Very pleased so far with none of the annoying issues I read in a few of the reviews. Can't wait till our provider starts transmitting HD in a few weeks so we can get more bang for our buck!

VIZIO M470SV REVIEWS
VIZIO M470SV Stellar HDTV for watching live sports!!!
I have had zero problems with this gem. I see bad reviews for this set turning off or something similar. No such problems here. The picture quality is so good, it is SCARY real!!! It was very easy to hook up to Direct TV and the TV remote cloned the satellite remote in a snap. The sound is very good for a flat screen tv. Watching HD sports on this is just stunning and awesome. The 240 HZ refresh rate is just BADASS for hockey! All in all I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a big tv with a perfect, clear, bright picture. :-D
VIZIO M470SV Outstanding TV. Outstanding service.
I've had my Vizio for close to three months. It is fantastic. This thing weighs less than half what my old Sony did. The picture is great and I love the apps. I'm on Facebook almost every day now, looking for new pictures of my Grandaughter. We spent months looking and pricing TV's and finally settled on this one. This was close to the least expensive one I found but don't let that scare you, It's awsome! What set-up? This thing pretty much sets itself up. It found my WYFI connection before I was able to do the set-up. I saw a lot of complaints about the speakers. I must tell you, I don't know. I hooked my surround sound system to it and I don't think I ever heard the built-in speakers. Beleave me, watch this TV and you will want great sound to go with it. The built in speakers are not a deal breaker, you won't use them either. As usual with Amazon, the unit came sooner than expected. The delivery person even brought into the house for my wife since I wasn't there. It arrived in perfect condition. The rest is history. My thanks to Vizio for a great product and to Amazon.Com for a great buying experience.
