Love this TV

It is beautiful, shows sharp, clear images - and the fact that it's a smart TV makes it even better. All of the smart TV features have been working very well so far (I say so far because my parent's have an older smart Vizio that has slowed down a bit with time). I'm very happy with this purchase and I would definitely recommend it.

Great Buy

I live on the east coast. I purchased this TV and had it shipped to my daughter in Arizona. Until now she had been watching a small 21" tv. She found it easy to install and says it has a great picture and features. Her neighbors simply love the quality of the picture and the price. This is definitely one of the best buys I ever made.

Amazing TV

We love the Vizio brand and this was TV is no exception. The picture is amazing, although was slightly dark upon first setup, but nothing a few simple and quick tweeks didn't fix. Picture quality is AMAZING, even for gamers, there is no lag what so ever and as my husband says "I can go pro now!" The aps are meh, like all our vizios have been, but they get the job done, netflix, facebook we just do the basics. The only con is the sound which is fine if you don't have screaming kids, but since you get the slimmer frame the speakers are on the back of the TV making it difficult to hear, so I will be buying a sound bar for this one. But over all this is the TV to get.

LOVE IT!!!

I just love Vizio TVs. I have replaced all my tvs with Vizio brand. Easy setup with home theater system, DVD players, game systems, etc. It has a beautiful picture. Guests have commented on the sharpness of the picture and have gone out and bought their own Vizio television. I would recommend this TV and this brand to everyone.

Half and Half

The sound quality is not fantastic. So, you will want to consider getting a sound bar. Also, I have had the TV a month now and on occasion it just shuts off. Probably a handful of times since I bought it. The shipping is awful and I would recommend never having anything shipped through Sams Club. Fed Ex left my television on my back porch in the rain. My television could have been stolen and I will never buy anything online from Sams Club again.

This TV surprised me

I was a little skeptical at first but the more I walked up and down the TV wall in store, I kept going back to this TV. The price was great for this size and the LED picture quality. I love the Smart TV features. On the remote, it has a Netflix button which launches the service automatically and you're ready to watch Netflix, you only have to sign into your account the first time. Before, I had to turn the Wii on to get Netflix going and go through that process. The only thing that kinda sorta bothers me about this TV compared to other TV's is it takes several seconds to turn on after hitting the power button whereas other TVs I have you hit the power button and the image comes on instantly. It's such a minor detail that I didn't think it deserved less than a 5 star rating. We're really enjoying this TV!

Black Friday Purchase

I had been looking at this model for a few months before the Black Friday sales came out. When I saw the price, i decided right then I was going to make the purchase. Have had the unit for almost a month now and am pleased with this purchase. Great picture, Visio apps are nice, although have not taken advantage of them all. I would definitely recommend this model.

Remote/sensor would not work properly

After the second day of purchase the remote control would not work. We replaced the batteries with new ones and tried to use it again. The television would come on but you could not change the channels (it would freeze up). Searched Google and found out that this is a very common problem with Vizio products. Returned product to store.

REALLY Great TV for the price.

Everything is great about this TV with the exception of the navigation of the Smart TV app stuff. It's slow and inefficient but the reviewers are saying this is the case with all of them. You can still get it done, just not as easily say, as with a computer (keyboard, etc). Great picture. Sound is OK. We got a sound bar system to go with it and it works great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this television as a replacement for our Sony plasma that finally died. We bought a VIZIO because my brother-in-law buys their televisions and swears by them. We haven't been disappointed with the brand either, but this E series isn't perfect. First off, the sound is incredibly thin, so a soundbar is an absolute must. The picutre is good but there are flaws. If you're watching ice hockey, the LED arrays stand out by creating bright "box shapes" and darker areas in between the arrays. Game of Thrones is nearly unwatchable. So those are the two extremes. Sports such as baseball, football, etc. are beautiful to watch; news and other programming are bright and clear. The remote is weak, however the downloadable VIZIO app is awesome! Overall, the television is great and we hope that it lasts for a long time.
