Introduction
The Vizio SV470XVT is a 47-inch LCD HDTV that is priced at the lower end of the range for this size. Available for around $1400 it sports some high-end features like 120Hz refresh rate. We found the Vizio SV470XVT performed admirably in most of our tests and should represent a good value for most people looking for a budget TV in this size range.

If you can find it a significantly reduced price it would make a great addition to a home theater. Read More...
