VIZIO SV422XVT 42-Inch Class XVT Series 240Hz sps LCD VIZIO Internet Apps HDTV CustomerReview

Bought this on Amazon for 0 a few months ago (thanks tax return!) with free shipping, awesome! It was delivered by a specialty delivery service 1 week later (3 weeks earlier than i was told in my confirmation, sweet). Before i begin my praise, I just want to mention that this is my first big flat screen TV, aside from my 24″ Samsung T240HD LCD HDTV/monitor that has extraordinary picture quality and really lives up to the ‘HDTV’ description. But I’m also a tech junkie and aside from knowing a lot about consumer electronics to begin with, i did a good deal of research into LCD TV’s prior to purchasing this tv. br /br /When I was researching HDTV’s I was drawn to Vizio b/c I had read on TechCrunch that several big name manufacturers were releasing their new ‘high-end’ tvs soon and they had wifi built in and would incorporate apps directly into the TV. When looking at the prices of those tvs, i was disappointed b/c they were way out of my budget so when i came across the Vizio SV422XVT, i got a little dizzy with excitement. At 0, it was the perfect tv for me since it had Wifi – N, a bluetooth keyboard remote, Netflix and Amazon Video on Demand apps and, of course, Vizio’s reputation for high quality. I bought it the same day (after clearing it with the wife) for 0. The shipping was free but i quickly realized it was b/c i wasn’t set to receive it for 4 weeks. Long time to wait but for the price and features, i was prepared. Like a little kid, i excitedly looked at the product page on Amazon everyday while awaiting the delivery date. And at least this one time acting like a kid saved me when around 3 days after i placed my order, Amazon dropped the price to 0. I was pissed at first but quickly researched the return/cancellation policy and since my order hadn’t moved past the initial order placement stage, i was able to cancel the first order and purchase it at the lower price which included the same free shipping and same 4 week wait. However, as i said before, it actually got delivered about a week later.br /br /Once i set it up and plugged my cable box, PS3, junker surround system and PC into the HDMI ports and set up the wifi, i actually started watching TV. I was impressed with the HD channels and March Madness was really great to watch on this baby. I think the colors are accurate and very vivid so i’m thinking that a couple of the other reviews i read on here probably did have defective units. The internet apps are great, i use Amazon Video On Demand the most and netflix about a little. THe video and sound quality are great but my only complaint is that the internet can be… finicky… as in, Amazon shows/movies can buffer several times, netflix not as much but i don’t use it as much but Pandora plays just fine. This could be my router’s fault and most probably is but i still believe the wifi connectoin in the TV isn’t 100% stable. Since 802.11 N is still in draft format, that could be why also…not sure.br /br /On to the other features. MY PS3 had to step its game up when i first played Modern Warfare 2 on this TV but once it woke from its non-HDTV slumber, the quality was excellent and i would say playing on this TV has definitely improved my gaming skills. Blu-rays are really amazing too though i think some older blu-ray movies aren’t formatted to play on this high of quality tv b/c the camera shots seem really strange some times. I attribute it to the refresh rate, 240hz. The refresh rate is really important and i can say with confidence that there were no other brands with 240HZ refresh rates at this price. Most are 120 but some are even 60 which just doesn’t do HD justice IMO. Anyways, using my pc with this thing was really cool too. it is a giant monitor and having 42″ of gmail is pretty cool. i only use that pc for casual searching, some Google Reader and occasionally watching movies i purchased (mistakenly) through iTunes last year. The video quality of the PC isn’t quite as good as the PS3 but the PC is also older so I don’t think its the Vizio’s fault. br /br /I’d also like to review the Bluetooth quality of the TV. First, the remote is amazing since it is both universal for other devices (uses IR) and Bluetooth for the TV itself. This means for things like using the internet apps and adjusting the volume (tv volume only on my setup)are controlled thru a Bluetooth connection which doesn’t require you point it directly at the device. I have a cable box hooked up to it and the remote does work for that box but since it uses IR, i have to point it at the box still to change the channel. Oh well. The QWERTY Bluetooth keyboard is great for searching on amazon and even typing in username/password on any/all of the apps. It does not, however, connect to my PS3 as a Bluetooth keyboard . I knew that was just wishful thinking anyways. My last comment about the Bluetooth is the quality of the receiver inside the TV. I use Bluetooth headphones for my computer and phone and i recently realized i could use them with the TV as well. Once paired, i found i could use both headphones and tv speakers together or just the headphones. Also, the range on the Bluetooth is really good. i’ve been outside of the house (about 35 feet away thru 100+ year old brick walls) with no crackling or skipping of the audio at all. I’m guessing its an EDR Class 1 device (audio up to 300ft) but i haven’t been able to locate the specs of the Bluetooth inside the TV yet. Please leave a comment if you know the specifics of the bluetooth chip inside the tv. br /br /In summary, i don’t recommend this TV to my friends b/c i really enjoy having the most high tech/best quality TV among them. BUT since you’re an anonymous reader, i highly recommend you buy this TV. Literally the only thing it can’t do is 3D, yet(firmware update maybe?). Other than that, this TV is the most features packed, highest quality TV you will find at this price for at least a year.
