Vizio XVT3SV SERIES Overview
Vizio has built a reputation for manufacturing flat-screen TVs that deliver great value for the money. This is Vizio’s third attempt at using a full array of local dimming LEDs to compete with the other brands’ flagship LCDs, in my book its most successful.
Positive:
Vizio’s accessory is a Bluetooth remote with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Roughly the size of a cell phone (bit thicker), this remote doesn’t require line-of-site proximity to communicate with the TV (no more worrying that your soft drink or your pet may interfere with your channel surfing!)—and the keyboard comes in handy if you use any VIA (Vizio Internet Applications)

The Vizio XVT3SV series’ full-array LED-backlit display held its own in our juried image-quality tests. The Vizio set collected good to very good ratings across the board
The Apps, the remote, and the oodles of other features make the XVT3SV Series stand up to all the other competing brands. The healthy five HDMI inputs give this LED TV lots of versatility.
Not So Negative:
Its minor weaknesses were in details and sharpness.
It’s not perfect, especially when seen from a off-angle view, but for the price it is very tough to complain about the Vizio XVT3SV Series
The all-black styling of the XVT3SV series won’t turn many heads although the sleekness will adapt to every room.
IT’s 3-inch depth is fatter than many LED models, but still plenty slim overall.
Overall:
In any event, the set’s image quality ratings put it in the top 5 HDTV’s of those we’ve looked at during the past few months. As usual, Vizio’s on-screen menus provide tons of customization options
Its audio quality was fairly good, too, pumped out by two 15-watt speakers that use convincing surround-sound simulation technology. It’s also one of the greenest HDTV model lines we’ve tested; the 55-inch model consumed just 66 watts of electricity per hour on average.
Vizio’s attention to HDTV setup continues to raise the bar for competing vendors. With the Vizio XVT3SV series, its first-time setup wizard starts by having you set up your Internet connection, via ethernet or either 2.4GHz or 5GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi.
Having the 5GHz option available on the Vizio XVT3SV can be quite helpful: It supports many more connections, so it’s less prone to interference. (Of course, a wired connection is generally better if you plan to stream media over the Internet—for example, by using Netflix on Demand.)
