Introduction The $1499 Vizio SV471XVT is an update to the SV470XVT, which was one of last years top performers. And this new display is very similar, with the addition of a USB port. We found that performance was mostly unchanged from the SV470XVT, with the exception of an increase in brightness. This also meant that the blacks were not very deep, and images had a muddy look. But otherwise, the SV471XVT was an excellent performer at a very reasonable price.      Page 1 of 18 Tour & Design   Section The Good The Bad Tour & Design Clean, simple design Vizio logo is a little large Blacks & Whites Decent contrast ratio Blacks are very light, leading to a somewhat muddy look Color Accuracy Clean whites and smooth RGB curves Color gamut is a little off Motion Motion is smooth, with little loss of detail Somem minor artifacts; edges get jaggy Viewing Effects Screen does not reflect lights Viewing angle is small Remote Control Remote fits well in the hand, can be programmed to control other devices Some controls require reaching Connectivity Plenty of HDMI and analog inputs No problems Audio & Menus Speakers have good volume and sound quality Surround sound doesn't have much of a surround feel Formats & Media   A1080p screen that can handle all HD signals Some minor issues displaying lower resolution signals Power Consumption Costs about $25 a year to run at our standard brightness Cost rises to $47 if you put brightness at maximum   Other Models in the XVT Series SV32XVT 32 inches SV422XVT 42 inches VF551XVT 55 inches VF552XVT 55 inches For more information see our Series Comparison Page   Compare the Vizio SV471XVT to other HDTVs Samsung LN46A750 46 inches Sony KDL-46Z5100 46 inches Vizio SV470XVT 47 inches
