This LCD giant holds up some more refined features which no other HDTV at such low price range are said to possess. It has the ambient digital light sensor which is capable of detecting the lighting conditions of your room. This feature frees you from the botheration of setting the color and brightness options manually. The light detectors give the best possible brightness, color, contrast and sharpness combination under any lighting conditions. The contrast ratio is amazingly high, 100,000:1, which enables the user to get divine audio and video experience. The color temperature settings are very high, around 5400K, 6300K and 9300K, deliberately kept to give the user a crisp picture quality. In spite of the enormous and gigantic size, the weight of the model is only 39.68lbs. This model has the VESA Wall mountable feature, which means that it can be practically fitted anywhere and at any height. It has two powerful built-in 10W speakers which are enough for indoor settings. The panel lamp life is practically 50,000 hours which is around 60 years of viewing. In simple words this product is for a lifetime.

This model is currently priced at $949.99 and it comes with one year parts warranty and labor free lifetime technical support. You can often find it under the MSRP online at sites like Amazon.com.

YouReviewElectronics.com gives Vizio E470VL 4/5 stars!

    This TV is amazing. Had a budget of under $700 and was looking to upgrade my 37″ Visio. Was looking at a couple of 50″ plasma’s but for that money could only get 720 HD. Saw this model at Wal mart for $698 but then found it at Costco for $649 and with Costco they extend the manufacturer warranty an additional year. The picture is absolutely stunning with my Blue Ray player. Other shows are so clear and crisp that its’s you have to not watch in in Vivid picture mode because you see all the flaw of actors make up. You will want to turn off the auto ambient lighting mode found in the picture adjustment menu.
