Read our in-depth review of the VL420M, a 42-inch LCD HDTVRead more
Vizio's new VL470M, which boasts the company's distinctive java-brown finish, leans toward the lower end of the company's line, price-wise. This 47-inch, 120Hz LCD uses a traditional CCFL backlight, as opposed to the LED lighting in Vizio's step-up models.Read more

    I believe that Vizio makes the best TVs on the market. I'd recommend them to anyone looking to buy a new HDTV.

    Can I watch Netflix on VL470M
    benedict_emard
    over 1 year ago
    If you don't have a smart TV, there are still ways to stream Netflix on your television. You can use a separate device that connects to your TV and allows you to stream online content. Some options for doing this include streaming sticks, set-top boxes, and Blu-ray players with built-in streaming capabilities. To use these devices, you will need to have a stable internet connection and a subscription to the streaming service you want to use. Once you have done this, you can start streaming content from Netflix and other platforms on your non-smart TV.
