We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the speakers on the Vizio SV470XVT. Sound was clear without any distortion, and the simulated surround sound was able to add depth without losing too much detail.

Sound Quality (5.0)
We were quite pleased with the sound quality we got from the Vizio SV470XVT's built-in speakers. Obviously it's nowhere near as good as a real surround sound setup, but those of you who aren't audiophiles should find it clear and clean, without the distortion or lack of detail we have found from some other televisions.
Surround Sound (6.0)
The Vizio SV470XVT does have a simulated surround sound mode, and we found that it did a better than average job. Once again we have to warn you that even a cheap surround sound setup is going to give you better overall quality, however the Vizio SV470XVT's simulated surround sound did a decent job of providing more depth. It did this without losing a lot of the details, like conversation, as we've seen on some other simulated surround sound systems.
Loudness (8.04)
We measured the loudness of the speakers built into the Vizio SV470XVT at 80.4 decibels. This is at the low end of the range of what we've seen from other televisions, but frankly it's quite loud enough that you should have no problems unless you watch TV in a giant cavern.
