If your Vizio smart TV no longer works, you may need to replace its display. Before you choose a replacement screen, make sure you have the TVs model number and screen size in inches. You need to ensure the replacement unit you select is a match for your Vizio TV. Screens manufactured for one brand are usually not compatible for use with other brands. Also keep in mind that some Vizio displays come with a video card already attached.

How Does An LCD TV Work?Most flat screen TVs use liquid crystal display panels that control the light appearance on the screen. When an electric current is sent through the LCD fluid, the crystals arrange to either pass or block the light to create the image.

Vizio"s 60-inch product is of a similar package and quality to last years. There are a few upgrades and downgrades. Price is of course one of the most attractive features. The E60-C1 features full-array LED backlighting instead of the edge-lit variety on most low to mid grade LED TV products. The 60 inch size has 12 zones of Active dimming for enhanced contrast, more than the smaller sizes and same as last year. Vizio Internet Apps Plus is also included in the E series for the first time.

The Vizio E60 is an excellent choice for an entry level TV. The “E” stands for “Entry” level after all. One attribute that makes the E-series compelling is the 12 active full array backlighting zones resulting in a more even distribution of backlighting with less clouding/blooming than mid grade edge lit LED backlit TVs. The 65”-70” have 16 zones, the 50” to 60” have 12 zones while the 48 inch and lower have a still ample 6. More zones are better because their divisions become less noticable to a watchful eye, but the smaller screen sizes do not need as many since the zones are smaller. While the full array backlighting delivers better screen uniformity when displaying blacks and dark scenes, we did not see a better contrast benefit from the local dimming on the E-series. Colors also going benefit from this backlighting scheme, as there is less washout and uniformity issues. Also, the 120Hz effective refresh rate with a 480 Clear Action Rate backlight scanning feature improves judder and motion blur. The Clear Action Rate feature may produce negative effects in some circumstances and is better left off for movies and regular TV programs.

The Film Mode does cut down slightly on judder from movie-source programming with no noted side effects. We"re typically skeptical of this type of de-judder feature but on the Vizio e-series the effects are subtle enough to be of good use.

The Vizio E-series has a dedicated picture mode for gaming. This is for optimal performance when it comes to input lag. The TV responds fairly well in our tests. We measured input lag at 40ms. That"s not too bad at all for the average to hardcore console gamer. Shooters, racing, and action games play just fine on this TV. 30ms and below are considered excellent measurements, so this Vizio stands with the best of them. Since the Game mode is its own picture setting, you may have to dial in some of the calibration settings again to get the best picture. Do it once and you are all set.

Choosing the best picture mode for the E-series is extremely important and Vizio provides some strong choices: Standard (energy saving mode), Calibrated, Calibrated Dark, Game, Computer, and Vivid. The calibrated and calibrated dark modes are the best choices, with only the backlight strength being the difference between the two. I think that Calibrated mode is my choice mode for most situations. Here I saw plenty of dark shadow detail combined with a full backlight setting to give the picture much needed punch. Overall, the two calibrated modes available are the way to go when you want the best picture out of this TV. Try the others out if you need to push the brightness a bit more depending on the room the TV is located in. From Calibrated Mode use the following settings for calibrated picture settings:

The OPC (Optimum Power Control) control is very hidden in the menu of the E-series Vizio TV, but it can and should be turned off due to the distracting influx and outflow of light/brightness produced by the backlight. Out of the box, it will be set to On position for any of the preset picture settings. When I recently retested the e-series from Vizio I found it added unnecessary picture noise when light flow moved up or down lagging the picture image. The OPC"s purpose is to save energy by manipulating the backlight through the 18 backlight zones, or probably more accurately to lower the Energy rating for Vizio"s TVs. But at less than $1 a month total, and just a few cents per month for the OPC feature, you probably prefer a better picture. To turn it off: Go to Picture Settings, scroll down to More, Scroll down and click Advanced Picture at he bottom of the menu, this will finally bring up the Backlight Control as the very last setting. Turn Off.

Normal, Wide, Stretch, and Zoom modes are controlled by the diminutive "wide" button on the bottom left of the remote control face. With HD programming your normal and wide selection will appear the same and of course there is no problem with this aspect rendering. With non-HD programming you will have a tough choice as the Vizio aspect ratio algorithms are not great. The Zoom mode looks decent but stretches content too much verttially. The Stretch mode is not very good with noticeable disproportion in the left and right width of images, especially people.

The Vizio E-series includes Wifi and the Vizio Internet Apps Plus platform. Wifi performance is good, and allows for instant access and plenty of speed for HD content streaming. The "Plus" in the name means the interface is much more user friendly and the overall performance is faster than before. Some of the most useful apps included are Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, VUDU, MGO, Hulu Plus, YouTube, Pandora, iHeartRadio, and Facebook. There are plenty more too.

Spotify: This music streaming app gives your Vizio access to just about all the music you"ll need. You can search albums, tracks, and artists to create personalized playlists instead of leaving it up to the app to decide what is next. There are ads, but premium subscription models are offered for those who really enjoy the experience.

Lyve: LyveHome gives the TV the ability to compile all of your content from Android, Apple, and Windows devices and access them from one place. Vizio Internet Apps Plus users can easily sort, view, share and their photos and videos right on the big screen.

The Vizio E-series does not include a remote with any special capabilities. No motion control, voice recognition, or QWERTY keyboard. But that"s okay. It"s a small remote with efficiently laid out small keys that give quick access to the necessary controls. That"s really all we need in a remote after all. The buttons to access video streaming apps quickly will be some of the most used.

The Vizio E60 presents a strong value on all fronts for an entry level LED TV. The $799 is a great deal for a 60” panel of this quality. Similar TV"s from major brands sell in the mid to high $800 range. Strong contrast and picture depth from front and center is the highlight in the picture quality realm. Vizio Internet Apps Plus don"t do anything new for the platform, but everything works well and doesn"t leave much to be desired. Some downsides are a non-backlit basic non QWERTY remote, 2-point white balance picture settings, and a non-swivel stand. But these aren"t deal breakers by any means.

Vizio"s E series is a tremendous value, and its picture quality, style and features are robust enough to please just about everybody. This TV doesn"t have 4K resolution and the future-proofy feeling that goes along with it, but its price is so low, you"ll probably be able to afford a larger size with the savings over a 4K model. The 50-inch M series, for example, currently costs as much as a 60-inch E series ($800), while the difference between a 4K M and a 1080p E at 65- and 70-inches is $700. In our book, assuming good picture quality, screen size is the best use of your TV dollar.

According to Vizio our observations about the 40-inch size should also apply to the 43-inch and 48-inch models; our observations about the 55-inch size should also apply to the 50-inch, the 60-inch and 65-inch E65x-C3 (a Walmart exclusive); and our observations about the 65-inch E65-C3 (the mainstream version) should also apply to the 70-inch model. The smaller 24-, 28-, and 32-inch sets lack local dimming, so they"re not included in this review.

Minimalist to the extreme, the all-black E series is characterized by a pleasingly thin frame around the picture, a matte-black accent strip along the bottom and the trademark right-justified Vizio logo, flush against the bottom rather than dangling like a misplaced browser tab as it did last year. Seen from the side these sets are thicker than many LCD TVs, but still slim enough to wall-mount and still look good.

New for this year Vizio has implemented a two-footed stand design, with feet splayed out under either side, as opposed to a pedestal-style support in the middle. It certainly feels sturdier than last year"s, where we complained about wobble, and Vizio even

I like Vizio"s menu system. It"s clean and easy to navigate, and I appreciate the helpful on-screen touches, including descriptions of various menu items and access to the full user manual.

Vizio is still the only TV maker to divulge the number of dimming zones on its so-equipped TVs. It varies according to size between 5 and 16 zones. The M series has 32 dimmable zones, and the P series 64. More zones generally equates to more precise control of dimming, and again, superior picture quality.

According to Vizio, the E65X-C2 is exclusive to Walmart. The E65-C3 is sold everywhere else aside from Walmart. The E40x-C2, meanwhile, is exclusive to Target, while the E40-C2 is sold everywhere else. I wasn"t given a reason for the existence of two different 55-inch sizes. The only differences between the two 40-inch models and the two 55-inch models is slightly different bezel widths; they otherwise have the same features and picture quality, according to Vizio. The company"s rep also said that the number after the C doesn"t signify anything important.

VA or IPS:As you may have noticed in the chart above, Vizio is also mixing in two different types of LCD panels. Most of the E series, including all three we tested for this review, use VA (Vertical Alignment) panels, which in our experience deliver superior black level performance and overall picture quality compared to IPS (In-Plane Switching) panels.

In the 43-inch and 55-inch sizes, the TVs will start shipping with VA panels and then move to IPS panel technology later in the year. The reason for this unusual step, according to Vizio? "Since our volume in E-Series is so large, panel suppliers cannot keep up with the demand for certain sizes."

Vizio"s rep added that it"s difficult to say exactly when the IPS panels will cut in, but you can tell from the serial numbers. "If the 4th digit of the serial number is a J or 7, that unit uses an IPS panel. For example, LWZJSEARxxxxxxx or LTM7SHARxxxxxxx. All other serial numbers for 2015 E-Series will be units using VA panels."

In short, IPS panels will only be used in the 43- and 55-inch sizes, and the only way to tell one from another is via the serial number. Given past experience, I recommend avoiding buying a Vizio E series equipped with an IPS panel. See the

Smart TV:Pretty much identical to last year, the 2015 Vizio Internet Apps (VIA) Plus smart TV suite doesn"t try to do too much--no fancy external device like a Roku anyway.

If you decide to use Vizio for your apps instead of a streaming box or stick, you"ll be greeted by a simple line of seven icons along the bottom when you hit the remote"s central "V" key. Scrolling to the right brings up more, or you can hit "V" again for a full-screen interface. There you"ll find all of the available apps neatly categorized, along with the ability to add, remove and reorder apps within the band.

Vizio"s content selection is very good. HBO Go isn"t available, and there are no major sports apps like MLB TV, NHL GameCenter, or NBA League Pass, but most of the other heavy-hitters for video are here, including Netflix, YouTube, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, Vudu and Plex. Audio support is also solid, with iHeartRadio, TuneIn, Pandora and Spotify.

It"s worth noting here that Vizio still uses the same involuntary software update system, and it"s a drag. You can"t simply check for updates manually -- you have to wait for them to be rolled out, and there"s no way to opt out of receiving them (aside from disconnecting the TV from the network). I prefer the system used by most other TV makers, where you can manually check and opt out of automatic updates if you want.

Black level:All three of the 2015 E series sets delivered very impressive contrast performance, anchored by deep black levels. Each bested the three non-Vizio sets in the lineup, none of which have true local dimming, at achieving an inky black in the darkest parts of the shadowfest "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For."

All of the comparison TVs looked good enough in these scenes, although the TCL and the Sharp lagged behind the others. That said the Samsung showed no major advantage over the Vizios, and the E series more than kept up with the M and the P in this arena.

Uniformity:As I"d expect from a direct-lit LCD, the E series was very good in this category, with no major blotchiness or uneven lighting on the screens of any of the three review samples I tested. The Sharp and the Samsung, if you"re keeping track, were a good deal worse, but the others were similarly uniform.

With test patterns including bright and mid-bright (gray) full fields, some backlight structure and vignetting (where the edges of the screen are darker than the middle) was visible, but again it was minor for LCD TVs and didn"t show up in program material. The vignetting was more visible on th 55- and 65-inch sets, while the 40-incher did show a very slightly brighter bottom area.

From off-angle they were typical of VA panels, evincing some color shift and worse black level fidelity as I moved to either side. None of the other sets had a big advantage or disadvantage in this category. Bright lighting: The matte screens of the E series are ideal for brightly lit rooms, minimizing reflections and doing a very good job preserving black levels. None of the sets in my lineup this time use a glossy screen, and they"re all more or less great in this category.

The design of the Vizio E is quite nice. It’s not the thinnest TV in the world, but its bezel is quite slim, and the feet for the stand are pretty good-looking.

The feet are not adjustable, and they are set far apart. For larger TVs, this will necessitate a big surface on which to set the TV. It’s a stabler solution than the old Vizio E mount, but could be inconvenient.

You get a bit more leeway with the Vizio E than with the more expensive Vizio P (the P loses picture quality at 19 degrees), but the viewing angle on this TV is still not ideal for off-axis viewing.

Update:From further testing we have concluded that all current Vizio TVs that we have reviewed do not display 4:4:4, but 4:2:2. This is due to the TV inputs accepting 4:4:4 but actually displaying 4:2:2. 4:2:2 is better than 4:2:0, but slightly blurrier for text than 4:4:4.

You don’t get the QWERTY remote on the back of this like you do with the Vizio M and P-series, but the slimness and feel of this remote almost makes up for that. The glossy finish might be a nuisance for some – our remote picked up smudges and fingerprints very quickly.
