Introduction
The Vizio M470NV is a fairly basic internet-capable LED LCD. The TV lets you access Vizio’s online content either through a wired connection or via its built-in 802.11n wifi connection. The TV doesn’t have many features besides online connectivity, however. It does have three USB ports, but they don’t provide the same functionality you’d usually expect from USB ports: the TV comes with a set of adapters that turn the ports into another set of A/V inputs.
Editorial Note: This is a review of the VIZIO M470NV. Test results are for this model, but should indicate the general performance of other sizes in the Mxx0NV series. The Mxx0NV series includes the following models: M220NV, M320NV, M370NV, M420NV, M470NV and M550NV. Read here for more details on series differences.
