VIZIO E472VL BEST PRICE, GREAT TV.

VIZIO E472VL BEST PRICE, GREAT TV.
I spent the better part of 2 hours looking at an array of TV's side by side. Finally I bought the VIZIO for its picture quality and competitive pricing. There was an immediate need so Costco was the source, even though I had to pay CA sales tax.

Assembly of the stand was simple, I appreciated the restraint cable and will install it as soon as the TV's final location is determined. Setup went quickly, including the interface with Direct TV which I was using with an old TV. The setup guide was refreshingly brief.

If you loose the remote, the basic controls are on the side of the tv and easily reachable. There's lots of input options on the rear of the tv and thoughtfully there are extra input ports on the side so that you do not need to get behind the TV to make a temporary connection. Multiple input sources pretty much cover the entire spectrum of technology.

HDMI with HDCP: 3 Rear, 1 Side
Component Video (YCrCB): 1 Rear
Composite Video: 1 Rear
Computer RGB: 1 Rear
RF Connector for Internal Tuner: 1 Rear
Ethernet: 1 Rear
USB 2.0: 2 Side
Optical Digital Out (SPDIF): 1
Analog Audio Out (RCA): 1

Sound is great. I planned to buy a sound system to go with the TV but will defer that decision for a while. It passes the real test with music only from the Direct TV system. Quality is excellent. It's not a $thousands sound system but great for most applications.

At the end the key question is always , would you make the same purchase decision and the answer is yes. This is a great TV.
