VIZIO VO47L

Front
From the front the Vizio V047L is dominated by the 47-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1080p. Below the screen is the Vizio logo, which lights up white when turned on and orange when turned off. On the same glossy bar as the Vizio logo to the far right is the remote control sensor. Below this glossy bar is the main speaker for the TV, which is textured in a grid pattern that extends up and around the LCD. Back
On the back of the Vizio V047L you find all of the TV's ports, arranged in a single strip that sits in a cutout near the bottom of the TV facing down. Below the ports is a legend that tells you what each port is for, and is color coded. Left
There are no features on the right side of the Vizio V047L. Right
On the right side of the Vizio V047L you find the control panel for turning the TV on/off, changing channels and volume as well as navigating the menu. Normally you'll use the remote for these functions, but if you ever feel like getting off your couch, or if the remote has gone missing, this is where you'll find the stuff. Stand/Mount
The Vizio VO47L sits on a removable stand that does not rotate. In order to remove the stand you will need to remove the four screws that hold it in place. The TV can also be wall mounted with four mounting points found on the back of the Vizio VO47L. Controls
TV controls are found on the right side of the Vizio VO47L, arranged vertically near the bottom of the right edge. From top to bottom you find Power, Menu, CH+, CH-, VOL+, VOL- and Input controls. Remote
The Vizio VO47L ships with a universal remote that is black with silver highlights. The remote takes two AA batteries. In The Box (6.0)
The Vizio VO47L ships with the TV itself, a universal remote with batteries, HDMI Cable, Power Cord, Safety Strap, Cleaning Cloth and User Manual. Getting it out of the box is a typical affair, nothing special here. Aesthetics (6.0)
The Vizio VO47L is styled in black with a glossy bezel around the LCD and a textured edging around that. The TV measures 4.5 inches deep without the stand, which is not super slim, but better than average. The Vizio VO47L's styling is not particularly impressive, but it's not ugly either. Those who don't need their TV to make a fashion statement will likely find it's styling just fine.
