VIZIO E3D470VX Great tv for the price.
dollar for dollar this tv is hands down the best. hundreds less than base model 3d's from other brands with less features. the internet apps are pretty awesome and really easy to use. hd picture is a little less than "name brand" tvs, but hardly noticeable unless you put them literally side by side. the 3d is surprisingly nice. looks good from practically any angle, except if you're higher than the screen looking down.
It has a butt load of inputs, built in wifi is super easy to setup, and the remote with a full qwerty keyboard is super easy to use. I use a Logitech Harmony universal remote because i have 3 other things to control, but when I'm just using the tv, like with the internet apps like hulu, its fast and easy.
overall I give it a 9/10. but i like it more and more every day.

VIZIO E3D470VX Terrific Picture.
VIZIO E3D470VX Terrific Picture.
Great picture...I cannot say anything but superlatives about it...the 3D was new to me--it is pretty neat, a bit of a novelty...I think our grandkids will enjoy it for some things.
Some say Vizio has bad audio, but it was pretty good before I hooked up our receiver to it with surround sound.
Price was low for what we got--about $800 from Amazon

VIZIO E3D470VX Love It!!
VIZIO E3D470VX Love It!!
I think this TV is fantastic! I didn't buy it for the 3D but that is just a added bonus! Easy to operate with wifi apps. Nice picture/ sound is so/so. I will probably get some type of surround sound system anyway.Price was about the same at Wal Mart. But with no tax and free delivery ($3.99 actually) It was a much better deal!! Overnight shipment- fedex brought into my entryway for me! Great service! My son can't wait to play call of duty in 3d!! I Love it! Cant wait to watch lots of great movies on it!

VIZIO E3D470VX BEST BUY, Fantastic.
VIZIO E3D470VX BEST BUY, Fantastic.
I would just like to start by saying I LOVE THIS TV, I went from a 32" Vizio to the 47"3D Vizio. It took a bit to get it from wherever it came from in amazon land....but when it got here today I couldn't be happier. I set it up fairly easily by myself, hooked it up to my wifi network very easily, found the 3D functions easily, and found the channels available in my area,(5 channels), how cool is 3D I love this stuff!!!! checked out espn 3D and wow the football game was awsome; watched some x-games and felt like the water drops from the motorcycles got me wet; (felt like anyway), found a Pandora app and love the music it plays from the tv. Can there be a better tv for this price? I HIGHLY DOUBT IT (unless it came from a Black Friday sale)...awsome buy from amazon.com. I highly recomend buying this tv, and one more thing BIGGER is definitly BETTER...LOL

VIZIO E3D470VX BEST PRICE, Great value!
VIZIO E3D470VX BEST PRICE, Great value!
I decided to buy the Vizio E3D470VX passive 3D rather than buy active glasses and adapter for my Mitsu 73". I'm extremely happy with the decision so far. For the cost of 8 glasses and the adapter I've replace my 12 year old 32" tube with a TV that is outstanding so far. I've watched some broadcast 3D and streaming and have been very impressed with both. The standard 2D picture is outstanding as well. The sound isn't good but expected from a TV. A sound bar and wireless sub should help with that. I also considered an LG model but I don't have much interest in 2D to 3D conversion and couldn't justify the additional $200 price.
The whole family is loving it and the wife is even happy we bought it!

VIZIO E3D470VX WOW! AMAZING!
Can't begin to say how amazing this TV is! The 3d is breathtaking, the web apps are very simple, the picture is amazing! The price was almost unbelievable, the shipping was extremely fast. The only thing that was not perfect with this tv was the sound it was below average, but it was all solved with a vizio soundbar. Overall very pleased!!

VIZIO E3D470VX Great, bargain 3D TV - Great for the price, Really Good in comparison to what's out there.
VIZIO E3D470VX Great, bargain 3D TV - Great for the price, Really Good in comparison to what's out there.
I bought this TV back in April, so I've had it a little over six months now. It was an upgrade from a 32" HD (non-3D). I chose it because it had a great picture in the store, uses passive glasses, and it was a steal. I have not once regretted my purchase, although there are some flaws. So let's skip the pros for now and get right to the cons:
1) The remote is pretty bad. Lots of little buttons all scrunched up together with no intuitive layout and you have to press them pretty firmly to get a response. I do like that there's a full qwerty keyboard on the flip side of the remote. I don't use it that often, but it's convenient when I need it. A non-essential but very cool gizmo feature. If I were rating the remote by itself, I'd give it 1 star, 2 tops. But I only need that remote occasionally (to access Netflix, for instance.) Otherwise, I just volley between the Comcast universal remote and the PS3 remote. This isn't a dealbreaker, by any means.
2) SD picture is not great for sports (but fine for just about everything else). I get a ton of sports channels that aren't offered in HD yet (at least not on Comcast in my area), and the SD picture on sports with fast action leaves quite a bit to be desired - significant motion blur, indistinct images, poor resolution. Some of it may be the signal coming through these channels in the first place - but not all of it. I've gotten good pictures on these channels from other TVs. To me, this is kind of a biggie because that's what separates the good HDTVs from the great ones - how well they can play NON-HD stations. It would've cost the rating more than one star except that this makes up such a small percentage of my watching - and the rest of my experience has been excellent - that it was only worth knocking off one star for me. For some, though, it might be worth more.
That's really all the bad I can say. Yeah, the sound's not fantastic, but I knew going into it that I'd be buying a sound bar eventually. I still haven't bought that sound bar yet, and the TV's sound is still acceptable. Not great, but you can't expect to shake the house with a TV's built-in speakers. It just doesn't happen. I'm ok with it.
Other than those few things, though, I truly enjoy this purchase.
1) It plays 3D extremely well, both through Bluray on my PS3 as well as through the 3D channels Comcast offers. (Football in 3D still leaves a heckuva lot to be desired, by the way. Woof.) The picture is crystal clear,and the 3D images are just that. 3D. Never had a problem with it - aside from when I picked the wrong setting to watch 3D, and that was user error. You're best off, by the way, letting the TV tell you when it gets a 3D signal, rather than trying to select the 3D signal from the TV's settings before the signal actually comes through. You're liable to get it wrong, but the TV picks the right setting every time. Just let it do its thing.
2) I really like the fact that it uses passive 3D glasses. I have a ton of them lying around, and they all work fine. I've had 8 people watching in 3D at once before, and active shutter glasses would've cost me $500 minimum to allow that (and probably more). I do see a bit of a difference between active and passive (to my eyes, active seems to jump out at you a little more while passive seems to have more depth to it), but personally I like the way the passive looks better. I wasn't super keen on the active sets I looked at and thought they would probably give me a headache after watching them a while. I've never had any issues with watching through these passive glasses.
3) WiFi enabled out of the box. Set up was easy, signal is strong, nary a problem here. One of the instances where the qwerty keyboard was nice, typing in my wpa key.
4) I've played around with a couple of the pre-installed internet applications (and there are lots more you can download), but I've really only dug into Netflix. No problems here either. The only times a show's ever stopped to buffer have been when either Netflix or my Internet connection was having problems (as verified by the fact that the issues followed me to other Netflix-connected devices in the house.) Streaming's been great - no concerns.
5) It seems nearly infinitely adjustable. A ton of settings to tweak to your heart's desire. You may need to play around a little to get the picture just the way YOU want it (because many of the customizations are really for personal preference), but it looked great right out of the box, and my tweaking made minor changes at best. Nevertheless, it's nice to be ABLE to tweak. In fact, the only tweak I really NEEDED to make was turning off the Smooth Motion motion compensation. It created a noticeable "soap opera effect", which was distracting when watching regular shows, and I really only need it, want it, and turn it back on when watching sports.
6) Great price. I got it on special at the time for a little less than $800. Looks like it's about $800 now, so there you go. Still a great price now.
So there you have it. Really great set for the price. Not perfect but perfectly enjoyable. Are there better 3DHDTVs out there? Yeah probably. But would you pay a ton more money for them? Definitely.

VIZIO E3D470VX REVIEWS
VIZIO E3D470VX ROCK!
This vizio 3dTV sold here on amazon is amazing! the price was way lower than the active shutter 3d tv's out there...this is a passive 3d tv wich basicaly means no charging of the glasses, a feature im enjoying verry much! :)At first i was a little disapointed with the color out of the box,but theres just so many settings for you to get it just the way you like it, took me hours and every day this week i tweeked the settings a bit until now its crisp clear and bright and so much better than out of the box! the colors are amazing! i had the tv hooked up to comcast cable with component cables and the standard tv channels were horrible but the hd ones were great..well today i got the new cable box from comcast with "HDMI" inputs and WOW! everything is fantastic!.im also realy enjoying the 3d content that comcast offers, although its limited atleast i got to test out the 3d feature wich is awesome by the way!I had been wanting a 3d tv for some while but figured i could never afford the $1000-$2000+ dollar priced sets that i saw in the stores, but then i came accross this jem at a walmart and started researching it.I found that this tv is way too cool to be at this low price so i decided to buy it..no mistake at all! i love this tv!
the apps are cool and having the wifi is so great! it was so easy to setup my wireless network too. i heard some bad reviews about vizio tv's on walmart's website and a few on youtube etc.. i think most of the reviews were posotive though. I guess the people probably just had some bad luck with a defective tv thats all. i think vizio is a great brand and would definetaly recomend buying this tv especialy if you want a cheap 3d tv,not cheap quality just a cheap price, lets get that straight! its probably worth more than they are selling it for so dont let that be a factor its definetaly not bad quality at all.The only thing that would have made this tv better would be the power light...its white and bland, i wish they had made it colored like my last lcd tv but its still a great tv! I cant wait to get the blu ray player and watch blu-ray movies, if its as great or better than my comcast in high def, then im going to be one happy camper!! i suggest if you are afraid of buying a vizio because of the brand name and its generic advertising status then just get over your fear and buy this baby because its just about the best tv iv owned so far! and im a techy guy too!!A++ VIZIO!!! oh and the 3d glasses at the theatre will work with this set, so save them each time you go..vizios included glasses are slightly better but the galsses from theatres will stil work with this tv! Oh and thank you to amazon for price matching!the main reason why i bought it here and not a walmart!! THANKS!!
VIZIO E3D470VX Amazing 3D TV!
I just got this and it is an amazing television. The remote has a Netflix and Hulu button. I don't even have to turn the consoles on to stream anything. You have to adjust the color out of the box but it still looks pretty great. The picture on this television is amazing. The 2D image almost looks 3D, it is so sharp. I highly recommend this amazing television.
VIZIO E3D470VX Great 2D, with optional 3d.
I wanted a flat screen that worked, no soap opera and had built in wifi/apps. I'm not a TV expert but just judge it base on its General function/look.
The 2d picture is great, the internet apps were easy to set up and the 3d works well when I set it up. I don't know about this angle or that angle. It just works..period
It shipped with motion smoothing turned on which created the soap opera effect, a quick trip to the settings and that was turned off and it looks great.
VIZIO E3D470VX Best Price, BEST DEAL!
Great TV. I got this over the summer and I am very happy with it. The 3D is the best I have seen. Better then the Real3d that plays in the movie theater. You can even take the glasses from the theater and use it with this tv! No charging the glasses, 3d is easy to set up, you can't go wrong. If you want to make the switch to 3D (which is a smart thing to do) then get this TV.
Highlights:
Price is GREAT!
Perfect 3D picture
TV is also 2D
Full HD
WiFi connected
Easy Set- Up
Great Sound
VIZIO E3D470VX Best Buy, AWESOME 3D!
This was my first "nice" tv I purchased and I couldn't be happier. Before this tv, I had a 27 inch box of crap that I could barely stand to watch. I feel like some sort of Saudi Prince every time I turn on this work of art. The built in wifi and apps are the bees knees. I enjoy watching Rambo and all sorts of manly movies on Netflix and going on Faceook to tell people which manly movie I am currently watching. The picture quality is downright stupendous. WARNING: The excellent picture quality this tv possesses is a double edged sword. This tv can bring out beauty of nature while watching a documentary about sharks or it can haunt your dreams by seeing sarah jessica parker in 1080p (Don't hate, I had a lady friend that insisted on watching the sex and the city movie....never again The 3d capability is the icing on the cake. I can now pwn noobz all day in 3d thanks to this wonderful contraption. Best part is you don't need those expensive active shutter glasses, you can just use the 3d glasses you get from the movie theater. WINNING This tv deserves 6 stars, but amazon wouldn't let me do that. Fix that amazon..
