The 70-inch Vizio E701i-A3 does cost twice as much as its 60-inch brother, however, and if you"re spending two grand on a TV, it"s worth considering the alternatives. Sharp"s LC-70LE640U is a better performer, Panasonic"s 65-inch TC-P65ST50 is better still in pretty much every way, and both can be had for just a few hundred more than this Vizio. But if you"re OK with that and just want a huge, very good LED TV, Vizio E701i-A3 is a spectacular value.

The E1-A3 series, whether 60 or 70 inches, is the nicest-looking Vizio TV I can remember. The frame on the 70-incher is mighty thin albeit a bit thicker than the 60- along the sides -- about an inch. It"s less than that along the top and a bit thicker along the bottom. The 70-inch Vizio"s bezel is about the same size as that of the 60-inch Sharp"s LC-60LE640U.

To make it easier to enter searches and other information into Smart TV apps, the E701i-A3 comes with a remote with a full QWERTY keyboard on its flip side. While not up to the standards of a good

The E701i-A3 sits in the features sweet spot for LED-based LCD TVs. Its edge-lit LED backlight forgoes the local dimming found on models like Vizio"s own M3D0KD, but the company does include 120Hz processing. Also left off the list is 3D, although in my book that"s no big loss, especially on a TV priced this competitively. If you want a 3D Vizio, your largest screen choice so far is the Sharp"s LC-70LE745U is the closest 70-inch 3D competitor.

Picture settings: The E701i-A3 has Vizio"s trademark list of picture modes named after sports -- Football, Golf, Baseball, and Basketball -- that have little to do with improving image quality when watching those sports. Advanced settings include two-point color temperature and a couple of

Connectivity: The back presents a strength for the E701i-A3, with four HDMI ports, one component-video port (shared with the single composite video port), a PC input, and two USB ports.

Viewed next to the Sharp, its natural competitor, the E701i-A3 showed more washed-out and less punchy dark areas, like the nighttime ship scenes in chapter 5 of "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World"s End." The letterbox bars and dark objects, like Will"s shirt as he approaches Elizabeth (29:39), were lighter in our dark room, robbing them of some impact. The 65-inch Vizio wasn"t much better in terms of black level, but the 55-inch Vizio along with the Panasonic plasma were both superior in this area.

Color accuracy: Again both sizes of E1i-A3 Vizio looked largely identical, and color accuracy in all but the darkest areas was a major strength. The face of Elizabeth in the moonlight came closer to the excellent ST50 than on any of the other TVs, and in particular I appreciated the lack of bluish tinge seen on the other LCD sets. The Sharp was also quite close, however. Later on the beach under bright sunlight (40:18) Elizabeth"s skin tone again looked better than on the other sets. For what it"s worth the 70-incher also showed less greenish tint in the sky behind Jack (40:37) then did the 60-incher, but that"s an extremely minor advantage.

More obvious was the E1i-A3 series" discoloration, specifically bluish tinge, in black areas like the letterbox bars. It was more obvious than on the Sharp or the Vizio 55-incher, and as usual the plasma didn"t have this problem. That said, both the 65-inch Vizio showed even more discolored blacks.

Video processing: The E701i-A3 acquitted itself well and even managed to outperform the M3D0KD in this category, primarily because it rendered 1080p/24 sources with the proper film cadence. When I watched the helicopter flyover from chapter 7 of "I Am Legend," for example, the E701i-A3 delivered the smooth but not soap-opera-like look of film, while the Sharps, for example, evinced the stuttering cadence indicative of 3:2 pull-down.

As usual, there"s a trade-off: if you minimize smoothing by using Off/Off, the E701i-A3 scores basically the same as a 60Hz TV on our motion resolution test. Engaging any of the smoothing modes causes that score to improve. I"ll personally take a smoothing-free image over a better motion resolution score any day because for me it"s quite difficult to see any blurring in program material, even when the E701i-A3 is set to Off/Off.

The E701i-A3 also lost black-level fidelity when seen from off-angle faster than the M3D0KD or the Sharp. I did appreciate that its color stayed relatively true, however, instead of dipping into blue or red as I saw on a few of the other sets. As usual both sizes performed the same from off-angle.

Bright lighting: Although not quite as aggressively matte as the Sharp"s screen, the Vizio E701i-A3"s screen did a similarly superb job under the lights. It outdid the Panasonic, the M3D550KD and of course the mirrorlike M3D651SV at deadening reflections, and preserved black level well. GEEK BOX: Test Result Score

Black Friday — the day after Thanksgiving, and the biggest shopping day of the year. It’s a day when hordes of Americans head out to the local mall or Walmart, ready to fill their carts and, if necessary, take you out should you stand in the way between them and a good deal. TV maker Vizio has traditionally released a new model or two just in time for Black Friday — often at prices well below the norm for sets in their category/screen size. The E601i-A3, a 60-inch edge-lit LED LCD, was one such special, having reportedly sold for $699 on that day — a price that is, well, insane. But now that the E601i has bobbed back to a more real-world, though still very affordable, $999, it’s time to check out how it stacks up against the competition.

Vizio’s sizeable 60-inch screen sports what the company calls a “Razor” design. This basically means it has a slim bezel and an under-2-inch depth. The set’s A/V inputs, which include 4 HDMI jacks and a pair of USB ports, are all located on the rear panel. The E601i’s screen has a reflective coating, although glare from overhead lights didn’t prove to be much of an issue. I found myself more annoyed by glare coming off of the screen’s bezel, which has a highly reflective gloss-black finish.

The E601i counts as one of Vizio’s “Smart TV” offerings. In this case that means it connects to a home network via wired Ethernet or Wi-Fi, and streams content from a wide range of services, including Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, Vudu, and M-GO (a forthcoming movie/TV show pay-per-view portal). On the audio front you get Rhapsody, Pandora, iHeartRadio, and TuneIn Radio, while Social media apps include Twitter and Facebook.

It’s long been true that if you wait long enough, the price of technology will drop down to meet your budget. Flat-screen HDTVs are prime examples. We’ve recently seen manufacturers respond to the current global financial malaise by squeezing their beans hard enough to produce decent sets for around $1,000. While it’s difficult to say if this trend is due to economic conditions or pressure from price-aggressive new manufacturers, Vizio has been in the vanguard of the young guns making life difficult for traditional HDTV companies. And the company’s not standing still. Exhibit A: Vizio’s new $1,000 E601i-A3. Like its big brother, the 70-inch, $2000 E701i-A3, it’s a true budget buster, but for a change, the budget they’re busting isn’t yours.

The E601i-A3 is remarkably thin for the price, though a bulge in the back panel makes it closer to 2 inches overall rather than the specified 1 inch. The provided stand does not rotate, and the screen is reflective—though less so than some of its pricey competitors. All of its back-panel connections face either down or to the side where they won’t interfere significantly with a wall-mount installation.

The E601i-A3 can perform motion smoothing via two controls: Smooth Motion Effect and Real Cinema Mode. They must be used together if you want motion compensation. With Real Cinema Mode off, all motion compensation is disabled. If you like motion smoothing via frame interpolation, the Vizio’s is as effective as most. It does what it was designed to do on most source material. But apart from checking this feature, I didn’t use it; the slick smoothness of motion interpolation looks bizarre and distracting to me on film-based sources. A good plasma set, which doesn’t need interpolation, can do better than the Vizio (even with motion interpolation) on horizontal movement, though with its Smooth Motion Effect on high, the Vizio excelled on vertical and diagonal motion.

The Vizio offers the usual wide range of Web-based goodies, accessible either through the wired Ethernet port or wirelessly from your home network via the set’s built-in Wi-Fi receiver. You can also view and/or listen to your own photographs, videos, and music through the E601i-A3. The directly available Internet sites include Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, Vudu, Facebook, Pandora, news, weather, and sports sites, and more. The pictures on several HD Hulu Plus trailers were respectable, though such HD streaming, as we’ve noted before, was still not up to full Blu-ray quality.

Up to now, a 60-inch flat-screen HDTV for less than a grand was a fantasy. But with the E601i-A3, that’s no longer true—at least in size and price. But can it stack up against the big boys? In most important respects, definitely. Its video processing was outstanding, equal to or better than that of some significantly more expensive sets. It passed all of our standard processing tests, and even some nonstandard ones, without a misstep.

The Vizio’s off-axis performance could be an issue with some viewers, but no more so than with most LCD sets. The color saturation starts to lighten a bit as you move about 20 degrees off center, and while it remains viewable well beyond that, it deteriorates progressively at wider angles. In screen uniformity, there was a slight unevenness in the set’s reproduction of a full black screen image, but it was barely visible. With a full white field, I sensed a trace of magenta discoloration here and there, but it was almost subliminal and never an issue in real-world viewing.

Bit depth is the number of bits used to indicate the color of a single pixel. The more bits, the more color range a panel displays. An 8-bit panel uses 256 levels per channel and displays 16.7 million colors, while a 10-bit one reaches 1024 and displays 1.07 billion colors.

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.10 bits

Frame Rate Control (FRC) is a method, which allows the pixels to show more color tones. With quick cyclic switching between different color tones, an illusion for a new intermediate color tone is created. For example, by using FRC, a 6-bit display panel is able to show 16.7 millioin colors, which are typical for 8-bit display panels, and not the standard 262200 colors, instead. There are different FRC algorithms.No

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.1073741824 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.Edge LED
