CNET reviews the Vizio SV470XVT, the least-expensive HDTV with 120Hz processing.

Almost EVERY time I go to my local Costco, there's AT LEAST one Vizio LCD set returned and sitting next to the customer service desk with all the rest of the...uh...failures that customers finally got fed up with. Maybe it's due to the sales volume, but perhaps it's also indicative of the quality, or lack thereof???

I have owned my 1080p Vizio for almost 2 years. I have not had a single problem with it. Quality shouldn't be an issue here.

I bet the returns are due to stupid consumers not knowing how to set it up properly, or thinking that HD tvs mean an HD picture, or even better they don't read the manual! I just fixed a neighbors tv Vizio tv tonight that he has had for 3 months. He had it set to 480i and the set is a 1080iHDMI wired set. I "fixed" his set up and he and his wife sat in awe at the picture quality. All this time he has been looking at standard def, thinking HD was not "all that great" afterall.
Ooops! Stupid consumers make returns.

Costco is a big proponent of this monitor, and they usually pick relatively good quality (but good value) stuff. A story on Vizio can be read in the latest Costco Connection http://www.costcoconnection.com/connection/200809/?pg=26, which is actually pretty interesting.

There's a 50 inch plasma XVT model coming out soon. I wonder how it will compare to the LCD.
