Our Verdict
There is no doubt that the Vizio E Series is a great TV for its price. It is an incredible value if you don't need the latest gadgets like 3D, hundreds of apps, or motion interpolation. Demanding users will still want to spend a little bit more, though, to get better screen uniformity.
- Great gaming TV. It has low input lag and an effective blur reduction feature.
- Great overall picture quality, both in dark and bright rooms.
- Poor gray uniformity. You can actually see every single LED behind the screen.
- The full array local dimming feature makes the picture worse. See the Q&A section for more details.
- Limited viewing angle. As with most TVs, the colors change when you view it at an angle.

We buy and test dozens of TVs yearly, taking an objective, data-driven approach to deliver results you can trust. Our testing process is complex, with hundreds of individual tests that take over a week to complete. Most of our tests use specially designed test patterns that mimic real content, but we also use the same sources you have at home to ensure our results match the real-world experience. We use two main tools for our testing: a Colorimetry Research CR-100 colorimeter and a CR-250 spectroradiometer.
