Pros: Worth for its pricing, Passive 3D, Facilitate internet features, Good picture quality
Cons: Black levels are not that brilliant, Reduced resolution when watching 3D
VIZIO's 47" Theater 3D LCD HDTV generates remarkable, cinema-style 3D. Whether you're watching the latest blockbuster or any sport, Theater 3D means you see crystal-clear, flicker-free 3D that's up to 2 times brighter than conventional 3D. Includes 2 pairs of 3D glasses, so you can share the excitement with friends and family! Featuring 120 Hz refresh rate, 1080p Full HD and 200,000 to 1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio, this superb HDTV renders both 2D and 3D with superior clarity, color and contrast at an amazing value. Also includes VIZIO Internet Apps and built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi, giving you the convenience of on-demand movies, TV shows, social networking, music, photos, and more-all at the push of a button on the Two-sided IR QWERTY remote. The E-Series main objective is to make 3D not only more affordable but more enjoyable for the average consumer since so many first generation 3D displays was marred by unreasonably high prices and silly active shutter glasses.

As a 2D display the E3D470VX can more than hold its own with the competition providing an accurate and natural image that appears more organic and cinematic in its rendering than anything you're going to find at its asking price. In terms of its 3D performance, the E3D470VX is this reviewer's current favorite, providing for 3D enjoyment that's crisp and flicker free but more importantly not nauseating.
Speaking of performance the E3D470VX is a native 1080p display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a reported contrast ratio of 200:000:1 (dynamic). The E3D470VX's internal 10-Watt speakers feature SRS sound technology, which includes SRS TruSurround HD and SRS TruVolume. The E3D470VX is a passive 3D display meaning it uses passive or polarized glasses to view 3D content much the same way you would at your local theater. Because the E3D470VX is a passive 3D design, the included glasses (two pairs) are both lightweight and comfortable and also easy to replace should they become damaged and/or lost, which is something that can't be said for their active counterparts. Along with its 3D support the E3D470VX also features built in 802.11n WiFi, allowing the E3D470VX to connect freely with the Internet (via your wireless home network) and the various included Apps.
In terms of connection options the E3D470VX has four, 3D compliant HDMI inputs along with component, composite, S-video (yuck), RF and Ethernet inputs as well. There are two USB 2.0 inputs along the side, which are MP3 and JPEG compatible. Other notable features include: Vizio's Ambient Light Sensor technology, which automatically adjusts the brightness of your image to changing lighting conditions and the full Qwerty keyboard located on the back of the E3D470VX's remote control.
In terms of design the E3D470VX looks like the rest of its E-Series stablemates only larger, measuring in at nearly 45 inches wide by 30 inches tall and 10 and a half inches deep when resting on its included stand. Without the stand the E3D470VX is a touch over three inches deep, which may seem like a lot but remember the E3D470VX is not an LED backlit design. The E3D470VX's total weight with its stand is 45 pounds and 40 pounds without. Once calibrated, the E3D470VX's picture, both in 2D and 3D, is a sight to behold, especially considering its sub-$1,000 asking price. Colors are rich and natural in their rendering. Black levels are deep, not class leading but solid with tremendous detail and texture throughout. Whites are largely pristine with only faint traces of a vignette at the edges during brightly lit scenes or when viewing white text cards or test patterns. Motion is smooth and when viewing HD source material, largely artifact free.
The E3D470VX's 3D performance is crisp with virtually zero flicker (to my eyes at least) and suffers from none of the maladies that plague active 3D designs.
E3D470VX manages to make 3D enjoyable and trouble free for home viewers. The E3D470VX's built in WiFi is a nice addition and the included Internet Apps are functional and convenient - though I can't say the same for the E3D470VX's remote, which almost manages to ruin the day. Still, at and even a bit above its asking price, the E3D470VX is a good 2D and 3D HDTV and worth your consideration.
