VIZIO - 70" Class - LED - E-Series - 2160p - Smart - 4K UHD Home Theater Display with HDR

Picked this up for my Living room... Vizio has built a pretty solid rep over the last 10yrs or so. I read some reviews online and took a shot with this set. I remember reading about this display online and I was very concerned about the comments regarding the limitations of the remote. I struggled for days with that. However I pulled the trigger anyway. NOTE: Typically I would install a front Projector for my Home Theater needs but things are a bit different now that I have a wife. She wasn't having it so we settled on a 70" display. So far I must say I am alot more than impressed with this display. And the Smartcast software from your phone works brilliantly with this display. If you are on the ropes because of the "remote issue", take my word for it and trust me, it's not an issue once you sync this display to your smartphone or tablet. It's smooth and intuitive. Now... The dreaded lack of built in apps... That really had me on the ropes. reading about how this TV has no real menu and you have to basically use individual apps from a phone/tablet to cast content to this display seemed problematic and clunky to me. However, I can say now since I have been using this display for a little over a month now, trust me it works very well. Just install your Wifi router as close to this TV as possible and you should be just fine. For those who feel this is not a SmartTV, you are correct. This is not a TV at all. It has NO tuner. But who needs a tuner built into their TV in 2017?? I mean, really. ... The display works just as advertised. And to clarify, when you are using the display to cast from Netflix, Hulu, HBOGo, etc... You are not downloading to your phone so that you can upload to the display... That would be a tremendous strain on your home bandwidth and would make a device like this not very appealing. The way this display and others like it works is by using your phone/tablet as a remote control for the existing software and apps built into the display. So when you cast to the display you are essentially just pointing the display to a URL. Anyone with Chromecast knows how this works. (Apps like AllCast for local content are different of course) My only real issue with this display is that it does bleed light from the bottom left. So when u wall-mount this baby, once the lights go out u will notice light shining onto the wall behind the display. For those who are Home Theater hobbyists and videophiles of some sort, that could be a deal killer. That is my only gripe with this set. Oh and of course the lack of HDR. But I knew what I was paying for. 4K content looks amazing on this display. 1080p upscaled to 4K is amazing as well. No issues there. I have an HTPC with 1920 x 1080 output via HDMI connected to how display and the upscale engine of this display does a wonderful job. Again... FOR THIS PRICE, you cannot get a better 70" display... Legally.

Our Vizio E70E3 display has started to die - the left side of the screen is dark and nearly impossible to watch, darker the further to the left of screen. The defect occupies most of the left side. It has been an excellent display to this point, but I believe one should expect more than four years service from a $1000.00 appliance. This is a common defect with this Vizio model and many consumers get far less than four years of service. I guess we should feel blessed. Another negative is that the display has no tuner. We had to buy an external tuner in order to cut the cord and use an over the air antenna. Had I realized this up front, I would have never purchased this Vizio flat screen TV. I won't be buying another Vizio product.

I upgraded to this TV from a Vizio 70” 1080P tv i bought in 2015, i needed a 4K TV for my Xbox One X, everything connected perfectly, the Xbox recognized the Newer 4K tv once everything was connected. For the price this TV was a steal, i bought the Vizio Smart Cast 36 5.1 channel soundbar system w/ wireless subwoofer, it has changed my gaming experience for the better and I’m so impressed with how smoothly everything runs together, the TV is perfect & Netflix now offers a “4K Ultra HD” that I’ve never seen before until i got The Xbox One X & 4K tv, it consists of only Netflix originals but they’re in true 4K quality showing off the true power of this amazing 4K TV! Would recommend 100% to anyone and everyone

So I enjoy this TV that said the smart TV part is fussy and does not always want to work but I have Apple TV so I just ignore it lol the screen itself is great it’s big and the picture is clear and the sound is good for 70@ under $1000

I was going to give it 3 stars, because it is average quality. However it is a good tv for the price. You can't get a 4k tv at 70 inches for close to it. The chrome cast feature works great with my iphone. The built in apps are limited, but great. It has about 6 or 7. Netflix are two of them. Pluto Tv is pretty cool its like free streamed cable. The picture quality looks awesome on 4k bright scenes and not so great on any dark scenes. Its blotchy. Its not too heavy and while it doesn't feel as nice as my LG it doesn't feel cheap. I have had it for about a month so I cannot attest to reliability yet, but it does much better than my LG did with connecting to the wifi. I had to use ethernet for a reliable connection on my LG from two years ago.

I want to first off brag about the packaging in the box for the tv. They really pull out all the stops to secure these TVs in the box. Being that it’s 70” it has a lot of surface area to be worried about. Second, this is my second smart VIZIO 70” tv. I had my first one for about 5+ years before the pixels started going out. That included 3 moves and one being across the country and yet it still held up (active duty military). This 4K version is as clean as vibrant as expected. And I enjoy the black finished and Y shaped legs on either end of the tv as opposed to a center base. Sound is sub par as usual, but we use a sound bar hook up anyway.

We purchased this TV in January 2018 and it worked great until October 2020. It now has several dark “blackout” areas scattered throughout the screen - you can see these areas in the photo provided with my review. The blackout patches are growing in number and have expanded significantly since October. We splurged and paid over $1,000 for this TV and it didn’t even last 2 years. Never again. I’ve since read that this issue is common with this VIZIO in particular and that their customer service is terrible. Never again for us. We just bought a LG to replace this dying VIZIO.

i just brought the vizio 70 inch television from best buy, an open box special for a never could i believe deal. wow God is good. the television looks great in my living room with my new furniture, and the picture is to die for. also my son loves it because its a smart tv he can watch hulu and netflix all day and i did not have to bother about buying a box nor a firestick to hook it up. also the best buy team gets a 2 thumbs up for wonderful coustomer service, they wrapped the television and made sure i was able to place it in my truck with no problems.
