Q: How wide apart are the legs?

A: Outside of one leg to outside of other leg is 38 inches. The outside of each leg is 2.25 inches from the edge of the screen. The feet are 10 inches deep.

Q: More specific, digital tuner

A: The Vizio E-Series 48" Class LED - 1080p - Smart - HDTV has a built-in digital tuner which means you can connect an antenna and the tuner will allow reception of digital television (DTV) channels transmitted by television stations that use ATSC standards.

Q: what is native refresh rate?

A: This is advertised as a 120 refresh rate, but it is actually only 60Hz.

Q: Would I be able to use my Samsung tablet or external storage hardware device for movies with the Vizio Smart TV? If so, would it be wireless?

A: You need to connect the tablet through the HDMI port and external storage device through USB port to play movies.

Q: Will my bluetooth speaker work with this model?

A: This TV does not have Bluetooth.

Q: EXCESS DATA USAGE

A: Are you comparing this to watching on your computer? Because a computer vs a 1080p 48" TV will use a lot more data to stream videos

Q: How is the TV connected to internet content?

A: All you need is a Wifi (or router if you want to run ethernet cable into the TV), keep in mind that the Facebook app never has worked and it was recently (automatically) removed from my App menu. You do not need a computer or any sort of storage device. Overall this is really plug-n-play.

Q: Internet Access

A: I was after the same thing so I installed an antenna in my attic to pick up all of the local stations that are ~25 miles from my home. While we live in a hilly area, I am able to view many local stations quite well. But to answer specifically, you cannot access the internet as you would with a PC.
