A:AnswerThe M series is a more superior TV. The 2014 model has more LED's for backlighting and more areas of local dimming than the E series TV giving the picture better contrast between dark and light.
Another advantage of the M series, is the screen is a higher refresh rate of 120hz vs 60hz on the E series which will allow for smoother motion if you use your TV with a lot of fast movement programming such as sports or action films. Some people notice it more than others but 60hz TVs give off a 'blur' behind fast moving objects, where as a faster refresh rate reduces that 'blur'. Also, pay no attention to Clear Motion Refresh Rate as it is a lingo term most TV manufacturers use to say that they can artificially make the refresh rate faster than the actual hardware will allow, however, it will typically have more negative effects than positive effects when the feature is turned on.
A:AnswerYes, there is a USB port If the TV is up against a wall, it might be difficult to get at since you can't see what your doing when you plug it in. It has dealt with many image and video formats -- but I haven't seen a complete list. I have used jpg's and mpeg4's in various resolutions. It works well, but navigating the "file system" via the tv remote is awkward and slow (large lag when pressing buttons).
A:AnswerIt can go either way. Visio suggest that you hard wire for faster speed. I have used both methods and found no difference. Wifi speed depends a lot on the route between the TV and your computer. The less walls, closed doors and large objects between the TV and computer the faster the speed.
A:AnswerThe picture, sound, controls are amazing.. I watch alot of hd movies and most of the time its like your watching the movie on the side as they was filming so im sure youll have the best seats in the house.
A:AnswerThe smart features are not activated unless you select them on the remote. There is a quick button for Netflix and a V button that brings up a list of all available apps.
A:AnswerCannot connect these two. Apple is the biggest problem. You should be able to do it through a HDMI connection based on what version your Macbook is.
A:AnswerThe E series is "entry level" - that's the one I have (and I'm happy with it). Not sure about the others, but I would guess the difference is in the features you get.
