Unfortunately, you will most probably find that it is cheaper and easier to buy a new TV than to source a replacement LCD screen. You may be able to offset the cost of the new TV by selling the old TV as "faulty for parts"

The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. They provide 18-, 24-, and 30-bit color, respectively.8 bits

The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC.16777216 colors

The backlight is the source of light of the LCD display panels. The type of backlight determines the image quality and the color space of the display. There are various backlights such as CCFL, LED, WLED, RGB-LED, and etc.Direct LED (Full-Array Local Dimming)

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 the company’s high bang-for-the-buck, entry-level HDTV line—the only 1080p series it sells. And at $1,000 for 65 diagonal inches of screen real estate, the E65-C3 delivers fairly serious bang. The big achievement with the E series is that Vizio has managed to bring a feature usually found only in expensive, high-end sets—a full-array LED backlight with local dimming—to the company’s most affordable TVs. Local-dimming zone count varies with screen size, but with the 65- and 70-inch models, that number is 16. A higher number is better, of course, and more expensive local dimmers from other manufacturers do offer more zones and more precise control of the backlight. But this is still a great feature to find in a budget television. The E series also boasts a 240-hertz “effective” refresh rate (essentially, 120 Hz with backlight scanning) plus a new six-core processor (quad-core central processing and dual-core graphics processing) for smoother, speedier navigation of its smart TV user interface, now called VIA (Vizio Internet Apps) Plus.

To calibrate the E65-C3, I selected its Calibrated Dark picture mode and made adjustments in the 11-Point White Balance and Color Tuner (color management system) submenus. These are also nice features to find in a value-priced HDTV, though perhaps lost on the purchaser of a $1,000 set who is unlikely to spend several hundred dollars more for professional calibration. Fortunately, the out-of-box measurements for this picture mode were very good (see Test Bench). Other advanced picture adjustments include Gamma presets, Active LED Zones (turns local dimming on/off), and a Black Detail setting. There are also sliders to independently tweak levels of Judder and Motion Blur in the image.

Turning on Active LED Zones improved the Vizio’s contrast ratio dramatically, bumping it up from 3,314:1 to 17,800:1. I also found that images had significantly better shadow detail with the Medium Black Detail preset selected. Enabling judder reduction added an expected level of soap-opera effect, though this wasn’t as noticeable when judder reduction was applied sparingly. There’s also a mode called Clear Action that further helps reduce motion blur, though that setting limits the TV’s overall brightness capability.

The E65-C3 had some glitches that I haven’t experienced with other Vizio TVs I’ve tested. With HDMI CEC enabled, it wouldn’t recognize my Oppo BDP-105 universal disc player, even after running a Device Discovery scan. (I usually like to tap this feature to control a Blu-ray player using the TV’s remote.)

It also wouldn’t pass a DTS soundtrack from its HDMI input to its analog audio output, a connection I usually make for the old soundbar I use when evaluating video displays. On the other hand, using my Xbox One as a source (though, oddly, not the Oppo), the Vizio successfully played both Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks through its internal speakers and, critically, passed Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel bitstreams from its HDMI input to its optical output. The latter means that modern multichannel soundbars hooked up to the optical connection will see those signals with all surround information intact, provided the Vizio’s audio menu is properly set.

After transferring the E65-C3 to my home theater system—which has a preamp/processor and a multichannel amp to independently handle audio—I checked out a new Blu-ray of It Follows. This was one of the creepiest, smartest, and most visually interesting horror movies I’d seen in years, and I was stoked to watch it again.

When I viewed a scene where Jay and her date sit in a dim movie palace, shadows in the theater looked deep and black, and there was a decent amount of detail in the clothes of other moviegoers behind them. Highlights such as accent lights on the theater walls and white plastic lids of soda cups popped on the Vizio, creating an impressive sense of depth.

In a later scene outside an abandoned building where Jay and her date park, the nighttime sky in the background appeared as a uniform shade of black. Letterbox bars in the image showed no spotlights or other backlight-related weirdness, though the set’s viewing angle was fairly tight, with contrast fading quickly when I moved to a seat 15 degrees or more off center. This isn’t unusual with LCDs that don’t use IPS (in-plane switching) panels, though the Vizio’s window was a bit tighter than most.

While the E65-C3 did a good job handling dark scenes, it didn’t fare as well with more challenging shots having an equal mix of dark and light content. For example, in an outdoor scene where Jay and her sister take a late afternoon stroll through their suburban Detroit neighborhood, shadows in the trees lining the streets looked somewhat crushed, and that was with the Black Detail setting switched to Medium to help optimize shadow detail.

The Vizio’s color rendition, on the whole, was very good. In another scene from It Follows, a car pulls up to a lake house where the teens flee to elude “It.” Here, the autumn trees displayed a rich range of green, yellow, and orange hues. The lake itself came across as a natural blue-green, while the teens’ colorful ’80s-era clothes looked vivid. Characters’ skintones were natural, showing clear differences in Jay’s milky-white complexion and her sister Kelly’s olive tone.

At $1,000, Vizio’s E65-C3 is a good deal for a 65-inch smart HDTV sporting a full-array LED backlight with local dimming. I like its classy, streamlined look, as well as the no-nonsense Vizio Internet Apps Plus interface that mostly just feeds you, well, apps. On the performance side, the E65-C3’s excellent screen uniformity, deep blacks, and accurate color are all big pluses. Where this set could stand improvement is in its rendering of shadow detail, though the impact of this can vary significantly with the content you’re watching. Vizio also apparently needs to work out those glitches with the set’s audio processing and HDMI CEC features, perhaps for a future firmware update. Overall, though, if you’re on a tight budget and don’t mind opting for a traditional 1080p set as the rest of the world shifts to Ultra HD, the E65-C3 is a great option.

On a value-per-dollar basis, Vizio ranks at the top, delivering a satisfying mix of quality and cost. In addition to featuring great visual screens, their HDTVs include some of the best software you can get. However, they too have some problems from time to time.

Smart TVs have been popular for years, and in that time, the software from all brands has gone from sluggish and confusing to sleek and speedy. Of course, no Smart TV has perfect software, and as much as Vizio’s features stand out, they aren’t perfect either. Their HDTVs can occasionally run into issues too, including but not limited to the following:

A hard reset is more serious. Not only does it do everything a soft reset does, but it will also reset the firmware or configuration of the device to their factory defaults, clear the memory, and reset the device entirely. A hard reset is basically the same as going back in time to when you first took the Vizio Smart TV out of the box.

A hard reset of a Vizio Smart TV will wipe all configurations and settings. It will remove all account details for any smart apps, reset network data, and trigger a firmware update if one is available. You should always do a soft reset first to see if that resolves the issues you are having with your TV.

The above method should work on most of the recent Vizio Smart TVs. If you’ve lost or damaged the original remote, you may be able to use an RCA universal remote to reset your TV too.

Regardless, the Vizio Smart TV reset options mentioned here should “refresh” your model without trouble, whether they fix the problem or not. Bear in mind that the processes don’t work on all Vizio HDTVs, but they usually function with newer models. Some older Vizio TVs don’t have an actual reset option listed in the menu directly, but the choice is still there under a certain category or wording.

Furthermore, older Vizio TVs have other buttons on the front panel so read the manual for more information on resetting to factory defaults. Lastly, if you have issues such as when your Vizio TV won’t turn on, it doesn’t mean the Smart TV is broken. Therefore, there is no need to panic just yet! Try some of the above steps and see if you can get things back up and running!
