A member of Vizio’s XVT-3SV family of HD flat panel sets, the XVT473SV is the second largest of the four sizes available. Even at 47 inches, the television shares all the capabilities of its larger sibling.

It features Vizio TruLED technology running at 240Hz producing 240 scenes per second. This 47-inch (diagonal) LCD XVT473SV delivers its beautiful 1080p HD picture with full LED backlighting, great clarity and color. From the latest on demand film to sports broadcasts in HD, the XVT473SV’s screen can adjust its display for optimal color presentation. Its 10,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio provides bright whites and deep blacks preserved in any lighting with Smart Dimming capability.

What better than to test an HDTV by viewing Blu-ray rendition of Walt Disney Studio’s A Bug’s Life. Pixar is absolutely brilliant at creating colorful and fun movies. You get the feeling that the blue ants are ready to pop off the screen into your hair. The detail and texture is delivered by the Vizio XVT473SV with brilliant clarity thanks to the full LED backlighting and 1080p HD picture. This HDTV’s delivery on a 47-inch diagonal screen is stunning in every way.

Sound

The Vizio XVT473SV produces SRS TruSurround HD and SRS TruVolume from its dual 15-watt speakers. TruSurround HD virtually expands the two speakers into a true surround sound experience. SRS TruVolume takes the dynamic sound spikes and intelligently flattens them for an even listening experience. No more volume jolts to make you lunge for the remote.

As for the audio in our review movie, A Bug’s Life, this is a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track mixed the voices so that they make the best use of the SRS TruSurround HD in the Visio XVT473SV. The dialogue is clear and never obscured. That says a lot when you get all the ants, grasshoppers, dragonflies, beetles, and other characters speaking all at once. The effect is something you will applaud.

Streaming Internet

Bypassing DVD or gaming systems for use in streaming movies and content, the Vizio XVT473SV comes with an internal wireless 802.11n Wi Fi connection and an Ethernet port for a wired connection to your home network. Once connected, using the custom Bluetooth wireless remote control and the included Vizio Internet Apps you can stream movies and TV series to your heart’s content. With the remote’s slide out QWERTY keyboard you can even update your social network accounts during commercial breaks. Plus, for privacy, you can directly pair Bluetooth powered stereo headphones to the XVT473SV.

Cabinet

The XVT473SV has a 3-inch thickness when wall mounted or 11-inches depth on a table top with the supplied base. At about 55 pounds, it is quite light for a flat panel of this size. The Vizio XVT473SV has a viewing angle of 178 degrees horizontally and vertically so you can enjoy the picture without loss from anyplace in the room.

Set-Up

Turn on the Vizio XVT473SV for the first time and the menus pop up and take you through a 10 minute setup process. Using the remote and its QWERTY keyboard you can program the set from anywhere in the room. The Bluetooth connectivity does not require line of sight for the remote to work with the set. If you don’t have cable or satellite, the on-board HDTV (ATSC/QAM) tuner can run through and lock in the available over the air local HD TV stations.
