    Great Picture, Not so Great Reliability

    This TV replaced a 10 year old 1080p 60" Sharp Aquos LCD fluorescent backlit TV that was ~$2,400 new. Have never had a single problem with the Sharp, it still works good as new to this day. The picture quality of this Vizio E Series is superior in every way to that of the old Sharp. Not even a comparison. Colors are more vibrant, blacks are deeper, motion is better and the image is more fine. I'm going so far as to say it's an incredible picture in 1080p, even more so in 4k, especially at $800. So are the features. Local Dimming is non-existent in the other TVs in this price range which gives the Vizio a huge advantage in picture quality. With SmartCast and all the built in apps such as Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video etc etc providing some 4k content, I've found myself using SmartCast more than my Firestick TV and other peripherals because my receiver's HDMI is not 4k capable. This $800 TV can be controlled by Alexa and I'm also able to cast my Android devices directly to the TV! Really really impressive feature set at this price point. The TV is mounted on a wall in my home and is thinner than my old Sharp 60", although certainly not as thin as most of the more expensive models available today. It works for me. Connections are ample. I have an ethernet cable connecting the TV directly to my router, a single HDMI input from my receiver, and there is a Toslink optical audio return so that multi-channel audio can be returned to your home theater receiver when using SmartCast etc etc. While there are multiple HDMI inputs, I only use the one. There is also an HDMI input with audio return to your receiver via the same cable, which is really cool, but since my receiver is not capable of using that feature, I was limited to the Toslink for digital audio return. The pro reviews say that the appearance of this model is "dated". All I have to compare it to is the 10 year old Sharp, and by comparison the thin bezel and general appearance of this TV are MUCH more modern than the Sharp. I like the look, and the thinner bezels gave me the ability to put more screen between my in-wall speakers, a legitimate part of why I was able to upgrade from the old 60" to this new 70". All that being said, there are problems, which is why I'm only giving 3 stars. 2 months in, the TV developed a flicker in 1/12th of the screen, top left corner. This indicates that one of the local dimming zones is malfunctioning. Every time there is a significant change in brightness on the screen, that corner flickers for a second or two. Vizio tech support had me change a Local Dimming Zone "Active Full Array" setting on the TV from "high" to "medium" which rectified the issue. They then tried to say that since changing the setting solved the problem, the case was closed. My response was that since the flicker only developed after 2 months of use, and prevented me from being able to fully use a feature of the TV, it was a manufacturing defect and should be covered under warranty. They ultimately agreed and are sending a repair technician who is scheduled to work on the TV in my home today (5/31/19) or authorize a replacement, Further, as I mentioned earlier, I have the TV hard wired to the internet. Despite that, it lost it's internet connection around the same time the flicker began. SmartCast would not start up at all and testing the internet connection through the onscreen menus showed that there was no connection. I verified my router was working properly and tried different ethernet cables to no avail. I tried connecting the TV via wifi to no avail. Vizio tech support then walked me through a 15 minute series of steps which involved unplugging the power for a certain time, pressing combinations of buttons etc etc and I think amounted to a hard reset which I could not find any reference to in user manuals. That solved the problem. The TV found the ethernet connection, began working properly, and SmartCast began to function again. Interestingly, I did not have to run through the setup process on the TV after performing these steps, it just magically found the internet again. None the less, I'm again comparing this TV to a 10 year old Sharp 60" LCD which has had lots of use with no problems of any kind and still performs just as well as it did when it was new. I have a 40" version of that same Sharp and just like it's big brother, it has never experienced a single issue. I'm therefore disappointed in the reliability of the Vizio. I should not be having these problems only a few months into ownership, even at the relative "bargain-basement price" of $800. Without the technical problems, I would have given the TV 5 stars.

    Ok so I researched TV’s for months....drove myself bonkers learning all the new tech lingo, reading every review, comparing every model, watching every YouTube video etc... and for me it all came down to value. This TV is unquestionably the most bang for the buck right now. Are there better TVs? Sure, but in order to get a better picture you have to spend a ton more and even then it’s only slightly better. My point of reference was a 60” 2013 Panasonic Plasma that was considered one of the best TVs ever made and 3 times the price of this ...and I have ZERO complaints going to this TV. The picture is fantastic, handles motion like a champ, lots of calibration tools, easy to navigate interface, intuitive remote control, and even the sound is very good (I recommend turning off the surround for clearer voice audio and using the “calibrated dark” preset for a nice deep rich picture). If you’re worried about compromising picture quality because it’s less expensive than an LG or Samsung, don’t. This picture easily rivals much more expensive TVs. While it’s too early to speak about it’s long term reliability I know Vizio has a good overall record of being just as reliable as other major brands so hopefully this model follows that trend. For a 70” TV with an outstanding picture for a more than fair price, this is a no brainer. Nothing currently comes close to the value (which is why I gave it 5 stars) so I’d suggest you stop agonizing over all the tech-talk like I did and JUST BUY IT!

    Amazing TV

    This tv is beautiful! I was hesitant to veer away from the “big names” (Sony, Samsung) but to be honest the pic quality and ease of use - remote/settings put the others to shame. Also, having no cable for many years, I hooked up the same $20 antenna that was on my older Sony and got 40 channels in HD as opposed to 3 on the old tv in terrible quality. Highly recommmend. It’s amazing the tech advancements in just a few short years. If you are a cord cutter - this is for you.

    Absolutely fantastic picture and good sound quality. Does weigh about 60 pounds so 2 people should do the wall mounting. Big plus is the wall bracket mounts on the TV are 16" apart and line up with wall studs. Great for support. Only drawback is tightening the tilt feature on the mount. Need a socket with about 2 feet of extensions. Still worth it.

    The picture is everything you'd expect from Vizio. I haven't been able to take full advantage of the 4k display because I don't have any hardware that supports it, but games on my XBOX One look terrific, even local HD stations look good. My favorite thing is the thin bezel, almost edge to edge display. 4 HDMI inputs are very handy for multiple gaming/media systems, one does ARC for a sound bar. All of the inputs are inline with the tv (not perpendicular), so if you're mounting you don't have to worry about needing a lot of space between the wall. Some people may be bothered that the power cable is on the opposite side from the rest of the inputs, depending on how you feel about cable management. I would recommend a sound bar though, as the sound comes out the back straight into the wall. Watching TV is fine but for games and movies the sound bar makes a big difference. The smart software is very intuitive, everything about this tv is user friendly. I picked this up on sales for $800 and I couldn't be happier.

    My house was struck by lightning and it took out my 65” LG LED. I had to start shopping around. I was able to find this tv under $1000 and I couldn’t be happier! The picture is amazing, just as good as some Samsung’s. The streaming is blazing fast on my Gig-a-blast att.

    This is the 3rd Vizio TV in the house. Not on purpose ..it just happened that way. Vizio has the best pricing and this 4k TV is hard to beat, especially for the features it has (Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG). Don't pay more unless you really need OLED or a specific brand.
