VIZIO - 50" Class (49.5" Diag.) - LED - 1080p - Smart - HDTV

I Really wanted to love this tv especially that I got it at a very good price. Netflix and hulu plus loaded fast considering I was using Hughesnet broadband. The only problem I had was I faint purple hue that I just couldn't get over. I spent about 6 hours trying to configure it to no avail. At first I thought it was just how the movies and tv shows were but it was happening too much that I had to compare it with other TV's and true enough, the purplish hue were actually white light and not purple. I was going to return it for the same model but upon looking at the display unit, it actually have the same purplish hue and even the sales associate noticed it too. I went ahead and replaced it with a smaller Sony Bravia which is $60 less but is only a 40 inch. I wish I could've just gotten over the hue but it was bothering me too much I had to go with a trusted brand

This Vizio is a very good tv for the money. It does everything well as expected. the only thing that caused me not to give 5 stars is the picture itself. I have 2 Sony Bravias and the pictures are 1 star better. My Sonys are upstairs and the 2 Vizios are in the Rec rooms downstairs. I put the picture on Vivid and it is passable that way.

Love my Vizio - E-Series 50 Class (49.5 Diag.) - LED - 1080p - Smart - HDTV - Black. This is the second one of this kind that I have bought from Best Buy and I love both of them.

I bought a 50" smart tv and love it. I got it for a good price.

I love my TV n all the features it has. It was a Great home entertainment system.

Excellent TV, great image, great display, vizio tv is a great brand.

I have had the TV approximately 2 months. First let me say that since we do not care about movie rentals or games, I do not use the available apps nor do I sync with my router. Therefore I cannot speak to those features. That said, overall I am very, very pleased with the Vizio 50” TV. Before purchasing I did a lot of research on LED backlight Smart HDTV’s. Before looking at prices, I research reviews from several different websites on Vizio, Samsung, Sony and others. I had my desired minimum features, and I stuck with those. In the end, I had narrowed it down to the Vizio and Sony. I settled on the Vizio because of the actual viewing angle in the store vs. the Sony. In the reviews there was a lot of talk about setting the proper adjustments to achieve the quality of picture you wanted. One reviewer even suggested a particular software that was designed just for calibrating an HDTV. The only thing I had to do to get a high-quality picture was to set the picture (“Pic” on remote) to “Vivid” and turn off the “Auto Brightness Control”. While auto brightness sounds like a good idea, I found that it did not adjust the picture brightness to my likening. It made the picture too dark in both lighted and unlighted rooms. As far as setup, it was exceptionally easy. I had to refer to the users online manual for one item and the rest was simple. I am using Time Warner with a Set Top box which was simple to interface, and the TW remote was easy to set to the Vizio TV. There was also a lot of criticism in reviews about the remote. Although I seldom use the Vizio remote I do not agree that the remote is as flimsy as many reviewers said. It certainly is not made of steel but it is not as bad as others have said. On the other hand, we do not have children to throw the remote around the room. Given that I do not use the features mentioned above and am not including those features in my rating, I give the Vizio E50-C1 LED Smart HDTV with 1080p screen a full 5 stars. I also give the salesman at Best Buy a thumbs up for his professional service and help.

I purchased this TV the Saturday before Black Friday. I've had it now for two months and I love it. The picture is great. The inputs are easy to reach and well setup. It works with the Vizio speaker bar I bought to go with it. I don't have to use two remotes, which is even better! The picture is crystal clear. I've had no issues. I used an online guide to set it up for the room I'm in and it looks better than it did in the show room. It was a great buy! It's a large TV. So make sure to measure the stand you're putting it on before you buy it. I had to go out the night of and buy a stand because I didn't, and it was too large for the one I'd had previously. When you get this TV, you will need a flat surface to lay it on in order to mount the leg stands. You will need two people to lift and manipulate this TV.
