Want to enjoy the picture improving benefits of a full-array/local dimming LED HDTV? Then check out Vizio's E500i-B1.Read more
A bright picture, vivid colors and slim design make Vizio’s E500i-A1 a solid value, but it is this set’s excellent Smart TV platform that helps it rise above the competition. Though its smart dimming feature doesn’t work well and there are motion blur issues, it’s still a great deal at $650.Read more

    I’ve always been satisfied with Vizio TVs, and I don’t know what other people think about them because I don’t usually ask.
