VIZIO SV471XVT

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.
