High pitched whine when the TV is on. This TV has some fantastic features covered well in other reviews but it produces a high pitched whine while turned on. And it is loud enough that i can hear it over the tv volume at level 10 whichmis our listening level for most shows. We upgraded from a LG to this tv and had it mounted on our wall before testing it out. We would not have kept it if we knew about the noise before we mounted it. I will update after I contact Vizio support.
This TV is AMAZING!! I can not say enough about this TV! Right out of the box the picture quality is superb. There are settings for almost every sport as well as movies or you can customize the settings to your liking. It was very easy to sync the remote and connect components such as cable and bluray. Also very easy to sync remote to these components. Connecting to a WiFi network is a breeze as well.One of my favorite features is the SRS Audio Technology. With previous TV's I always hated how commercials would get really loud I'd turn it down then when the show came back on I'd have to turn it back upannoying! Not with this TV! Very consistent sound.Love the internet appsAmazon NetFlix YouTube Facebook Pandora and many more. I love being able to stream video instantly you have access to pretty much any movie or tv show in seconds.There are ample HDMI ports 5 2 USB ports an ethernet port as well as standard component ports. I have a blu ray player connected which looks amazing! and I have also hooked up my laptop via an HDMI port to view video on the big screenworks great!Also the remote with the slideout QWERTY keyboard is an ingenious idea! It does have a few bugs that need to be worked out but it is SO much easier and faster than using the arrows to go back and forth up and down to select letters.
Still love this TV after a year! I bought this tv as a Christmas gift to myself on Black Friday last year.my brother and nephew helped me set it up and we all were amazed at the clarity and sharpness of the picture. Then my parents came to visit and couldn't get over the quality.The original set up was totally easy and I needed very few cords HDMI for my other equipment I bought a bluray player at the same time also terrific and a Vizio and the HD box etc.I did my research before buying and still think I got a great deal $1149 on Amazon a year ago now its almost the original retail over $1500 list and compared to the other brands I shopped in stores to compare until I dropped the quality to price was unbeatable.All in all I STILL think this tv is fantastic the access to Netflix and other streaming technology is so easy and with the blu ray the clarity of anything HD or 1080P is truly excellent.BTW I saw so many comments on the ever present VIZIO logo being lit up if you all are referring the the On/OFF lite on the frame it just doesn't stand out to me it barely registers so I am thinking its the lighting in the room the tv is in. Didn't have any issues with blanking out etc.
$1400 Doorstop My $1400 VIZIO XVT473 experienced what VIZIO called an exceptional and unfixable failure just past warrantee. But even in this exceptional failure situation where the device was clearly defective VIZIO's suggested resolution is to sell me a previouslyreturned unit with significantly fewer features and just a 90day warranteefor about the price I can find that lesser model at online retailers. In summary my personal experience and observation is that when one of their products is clearly defective VIZIO's strategy is not to stand behind the product and make the customer whole but rather to entice the customer into sending them more money. I should not have listened so exclusively to the editors' reviews who look only at features during a moment in time. I should have paid more attention to the many consumers who were then and still are posting their negative experiences with VIZIO products. I am now the proud owner of a $1400 doorstop.
Huge vertical purple stripe on left side! Purchased this unit via Amazon on 1/2/11. It arrived a few days later.Recently when turned on in the morning a 18 wide purple stripe appeared on the left side of the screen 18 !!Purple showed up in the image where dark shading would be normally. Very distracting.I thanked my lucky stars that I bought a Square Trade 3 year warranty. Service repair contacted me and I sent some photos.They assessed the problem and on determining that it was not cost effective to repair gave me my full purchase price back! Hallelujah.DO NOT PURCHASE a VIZIO.Great picture and sound for one year then garbage.I have a Zenith that is on EVERY morning. It's over 20 years old!I'm leaning toward a Sony to replace it. Every review I've read give 5 stars.I just hope this is not an endemic problem with LCD screens.
Don't Be A SuckerLots of These Die Right after warranty period expires Don't be a sucker! I bought this TV not paying attention to those product reviews that said the screen went out flickers to black just after the warranty period expired. Well it just happened to me. Vizio help was nice but clueless. They spent 15 minutes trying to help by resetting all functions. Screen went out again in the middle of everything. Now nothing works and can't get a picture to fix it. They gave me the phone number of a national tech service I can call. Great help.For the 12 months it was under warranty it was a terrific set just like the multistar reviews said. But thirteen months later almost to the day the thing went out. When I read the reviews I figured there were only one or two lemons. Boy was I wrong. Don't you make the same mistake unless you want to buy a new $1200 TV every 12 or 13 months.Roger LernerPSStay posted legal action to follow maybe a class action here in Maryland. Avoid the hassel don't buy this junk.
never received never received it. order 11/30/11. wrote to them no response..will anyone respond to the email?????send my order asap. please send my order.
Black/blacking out still happens as of 12/31/11 This review is mostly geared towards providing an update on the blacking out issue and my issues with the tv's sound mostly because I think the quality of the TV while it's working has been written about extensively here. I've been using this tv for about 1.5 years and although it's not the best image I've seen I would for the most part agree that it is really good.My Vizio like others posted here will randomly shut off while doing nothing other than watching tv. The screen goes black and then the Vizio light on the front of the tv will blink from orange to white repeatedly for around 2030 seconds. During this time you can't do anything and then the tv will randomly start up again. This happens roughly 23 times a week. This used to be much worse Occuring >10 times a week a few months ago but seems to have gotten better. On a side note the tv sound also cracks on both my satellite signal and PS3 both HDMI connectedwhen I start up the tv. Sometimes there is no sound and sometimes the crackling lasts for quite a long time >5 min before reverting back to normal. This is usually solved by turning the tv on and off but irritating nonetheless.I called customer service today 12/31/11 and they ran me through resetting the tv and checking the firmware. The firmware is current. The sound still seems to crack and the representative has approved professional service of the tv pending confirmation of purchase. But he could not provide a solution for the random shutting down. He told me that they are working on a solution for a firmware update that will be automatically downloaded via wifi but could not provide a timeline.He acknowledged that this is a major performance issue with the tv and apologized. My impression of Vizio's customer service was for the most part positive. But he was unable to provide a solution. Because of this I would recommend to everyone considering this tv not to purchase it at least until there is a confirmed solution that works.So to summarize 4/5 stars for overall picture quality 2/5 stars for overall functionality.
VIZIO XVT473SV 47inch Class Full Array TruLED LCD HDTV 240 Hz SPS with VIZIO Internet Apps I must say that this TV meets and exceeds our greatest expectations. All of the great reviews were correct both here at Amazon and across the Internet. It comes with Internet access including wireless and some great widgets. We get a lot of use from Pandora VUDU and Netflix as well as current weather and forecast widgets. We have our TVs via ethernet cable however so I have not tested the wireless. No 3D but we didn't want any at this point. Maybe in a few more years when there is more available and hopefully the glasses have improved so as not to cause headaches. Fantastic picture very little reflection distraction excellent instructions with a very easy setup and navigation intuitive and most amazing of all the TV speaker audio handles the medium and high freqs very well. By far the best I've ever heard from TV speakers. We just added a small 150 watt subwoofer Yamaha YSTFSW150BL see reviewto it and it is very nice in our medium sized open ended family room. Anything that comes close to this TV is far more expensive. We couldn't be happier. And of course Amazon got it here like greased lightening and packed perfectly.
Awesome TV but have had it a year and am just not getting the most out of it. I just wanted to start off saying that I love this TV and every feature on it works great as I would expect it to. I just wanted to write this review to detail some good settings for the picture quality area to get the most out of it. It was just until the last few days when I found the best settings for the set and it always used to hurt my eyes before and give me a headache with a high back light setting. Vizio makes amazing quality TVs but their picture settings are the worst tools I've ever had to use. I have spent many hours tweaking the TV over and over to get it right and now that it is right I cannot believe how amazing it looks.The secret is switching the picture mode to Movie Mode which prevents the light from ever being too bright. The rest of the settings are for a slightly higher saturated color setting from completely natural colors. These settings should apply to newer and older models of this TV too. Hope you enjoy!Menu Button > TV Settings > PicturePicture Mode MovieBacklight 85Brightness 48Contrast 45Color 47Tint 0Sharpness 10Menu Button > TV Settings > Picture > More > Color TemperatureNormalMenu Button > TV Settings > Picture > More > Advanced PictureSmooth Motion Effect HighReal Cinema Mode OffNoise Reduction LowColor Enhancement Rich ColorAdaptive Luma OffFilm Mode AutoSmart Dimming OnThis should be perfect for most things. Many of these options are able to be tweaked with to the user's preference but this provides a good idea of what the default settings should be when the TV comes out of the box.If the person is looking to play a game that requires low delay / latency / response time / ms between the controller and the TV the best thing to do is set all the settings under the Advanced Picture area to off. Then you can turn game mode on which is available under TV Settings.
