Vizio SV470XVT LCD HDTV Review - Connectivity

The Vizio SV470XVT has a good selection of connectivity options but lacks advanced features like wireless connectivity, support for memory cards or USB connections. Most of the ports are inconveniently placed on the back, but you do have access to a few on the right side of the HDTV.

Input Ports (7.5)
The Vizio SV470XVT has a reasonable selection of input ports. We especially liked the four HDMI ports. You also have two component video inputs, two composite video inputs, VGA, Antenna, three analog audio inputs and a 3.5mm audio port for use with the VGA port.

Most of the ports on the Vizio SV470XVT are found on the back but there are a few useful ones on the right side.

Output Ports (2.0)
As with most HDTVs the only output ports on the Vizio SV470XVT are one digital audio out and one analog audio out.

Other Connections (0.0)
The Vizio SV470XVT does not support Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or any other connectivity solutions.

Media (0.0)
There is no support for memory cards or connecting a hard drive to the Vizio SV470XVT.

Placement (6.5)
Most of the Vizio SV470XVT's ports are located on a single strip on the back of the television near the bottom. These ports are very difficult to reach, especially if you have the TV up against a wall or corner. Thankfully there are a handful of ports located on the right side of the HDTV, with two HDMI, one Composite, one Component and one Analog Audio input. These are much easier to reach if you want to quicklly connect a device to the TV.
