Vizio XVT472SV Review

Though Vizio often advertises itself as America's TV company, the TVs are actually made in China as anyone can see by looking at the serial tag plate on the back of the TV.The new XVT472SV series (not to be confused with the SV472XVT, what's up with the confusing model numbers?) from Vizio has the latest and greatest that promises to keep Vizio competing with the Tier 1 manufacturers. This series has LED local dimming backlighting, a 240Hz refresh rate (listed as 480Hz but that is back light manipulated spec), and a new black drive system. This is the top end feature and price offering from Vizio for 2010/2011.

Shadow detail in dark scenes suffers greatly with the backlight set to what should be an adequate 40 percent. Above a night scene from the Road Warrier

The XVT472SV is a hefty 4.5" deep but has a nice thin gloss black frame.
