This was the perfect buy.
|Posted .Great everything! Great picture, great apps, great size for my living room. I already have a Vizio in the Master Bedroom, so made sense to look only for Vizio sense I knew their quality and reputation.

Vizio is Awesome!
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendThis is my second Vizio TV. We enjoy our 60" so much that we purchased this second 50" Vizio for another room. Consumer reports ranked Vizio highest in it's class of smart TV's. That is why we made the initial purchase of the 60". We could not be more pleased. Vizio TV's are simple to set up. The smart TV is very user friendly and when we needed to connect with Vizio customer service, we were very pleasantly surprised to find that the tecks that helped us with whatever issue we had were a JOY to work with! They are AMERICAN based so there is no need to struggle with foreign accents while discussing technical issues. The Tecks are good listeners, they are focused and they offer solutions that work. They are very pleased to work with you even for the slightest issue. The almost invisible frame 's on the Vizio's make the viewing screen much more enjoyable than other TV's with a larger frame. We had a small issue with the internet strength in the room the 50" is in although with the suggestion of the Vizio rep. to add an internet extender, the issue was total solved and all is working well now. Without the extender, the internet apps did not function. It added a bit to the cost although the functionality is now much greater as we choose an extender that provides 4 Ethernet plug ins so we have the option of adding additional boxes (XBox, CoStar, etc.) as we may choose and all the apps are working properly. When we are in the market for another TV, we will again select another Vizio. We also added Vizio's sound bar to the 50" that has added an additional dimension to the audio. Vizio is the BEST! Buy Vizio with confidence!

Great product for price!!
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendWe bought the Vizio 50" E-Series even though this is a relatively new model which meant not many reviews available in the market and some reviews available on amazon. But we liked the screen size and the price of course, under $600 is pretty good for a 50" smart TV. At the time of buying and researching I only thought the this smart TV plays youtube/netflix through its inbuilt application. Although I had chromecast for casting through my mobile I was a touch dissappointed before buying that I would have to use the chromecast on a brand new smart TV for casting videos etc. As compared to samsung which has its own mobile app for pairing with the samsung smart TV. However after purchase, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the youtube app and the netflix app on your smart phone can cast to the vizio tv directly. Awesome!!! You can't beat the features with that price. Overall the picture quality, refresh rate, sound and internet connectivity are great and it works really well. Totally recommend buying this from best buy, you can go see the TV on display and decide for yourself in best buy. The best buy personnel would load the TV in your car. Another important point, I have a camry and was sceptical if the 50" would fit in my trunk or back seat. It fit comfortably!!

Love Vizio!!!
|Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I bought this tv over 7 years ago and it still works great. Especially after buying a brand new Sony 4K TV less than 3 years ago for $1K and it already stopped working. Nothing bu a black screen. Can’t get a hold of anyone from Sony which is mind blowing if there supposed to be the top tier tv company. But This Vizio was the first purchase at me new apt in 2014 and between my roommate and I we put many hours into that thing and still works wonderful!!!!

Good TV for the Price, Hidden Tech Problems
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendI bought this TV over a Samsung due to it being that much cheaper, but for a while after i bought it i wished i had gone with the "higher class." I was able to watch TV and movies through my HDMI connected laptop just fine, but access the internet was a pain. Knowing a decent amount of networking through work i determined the TV was accessing my in home WIFI network successfully through pinging all devices from my laptop over-the-air and locally yet the Netflix app could not reach it's database. After reading through countless forums i found one specifying you need to set the security standard of your router to WPAPSK-TKIP and no other method would work. Hope this helps for anyone in the future buying this TV or currently has it. Besides this aspect the TV is flawless and would 100% purchase again and recommend it to others.
Q: QuestionM and E seriesWhat is the difference between the "M series and the "E series" of the Vizio smart Television?
Asked by Gerardo.
- A:Answer The 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.

Q: QuestionDoes this TV have a USB port & what formats does it play?Have hard drive with various video formats mostly AVI and mpeg .
Asked by Vero beach boy.
- A:Answer Yes, 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).

Q: QuestionCan this TV be hardwired to the internet or can it only connect via wifi?Can this TV be hardwired to the internet or can it only connect via wifi?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer It 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.
