Vizio SV470XVT LCD HDTV Review - Conclusion

The Vizio SV470XVT is an excellent HDTV. We were quite impressed at how well the TV performed in our tests of whites, colors and motion. It does lack some of the more advanced features you might see on a more expensive HDTV like a card reader or support for streaming media, but at a $1400 price point we're not surprised to see these features missing. Our biggest problem with the Vizio SV470XVT was the mediocre black-level performance, which also impacted its ability to produce good contrast. If you can live with that, we say this is a good value HDTV.
