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.

Our research indicates the Vizios with the bad chip assembly were made and offered for sale in the 4th quarter of 2012. We checked our local Costco and verified all the E601i-A3 and E701i-A3 now being sold are new production, past the serial numbers of the recalled models.

“A limited number of VIZIO’s E-Series 60” and 70” LED Smart TVs (model numbers E601i-A3 and E701i-A3) may experience a loss of video due to premature failure of a chip assembly sourced from a supplier.  VIZIO is working with its suppliers, retailers and consumers to resolve the issue as quickly as possible for affected users.  As part of its continued dedication to customer satisfaction, VIZIO is proactively communicating with its customers through direct contact with registered owners, through VIZIO’s retailers and through online and social media about the potential issue, what to look for, and how to reach VIZIO’s dedicated support team to receive help.

In a small percentage of units with serial numbers in the ranges of LFTRNWAN3800001 to LFTRNWAN4805300for Model E601i-A3 and LFTRNXAN4500001 – LFTRNXAN4702936 for Model E701i-A3, users may experience a loss of video on the display although audio can still be heard.  This issue is attributed to a limited batch of chip assemblies from a supplier, in which there is a small percentage chance that the chip assembly prematurely fails; this causes the timing control board to be disabled, which disrupts the video signal to the display.  This potential issue appears to occur typically around the first 500 hours of usage or first few months of normal usage and does not present a safety concern.

VIZIO has promptly notified its customers of the possible issue so that affected users can have their units repaired or replaced free of charge.  In addition, VIZIO is also extending its standard one-year limited warranty to two years from the date of purchase for this specific issue to ensure that customers who purchased the E601i-A3 or E701i-A3 can continue to enjoy their TV with full peace of mind.

If you have a VIZIO E-Series 60” or 70” TV with a serial number that falls within the ranges of LFTRNWAN3800001 to LFTRNWAN4805300 for Model E601i-A3 andLFTRNXAN4500001 – LFTRNXAN4702936 for Model E701i-A3 and experience a loss of video, please call VIZIO’s Customer Care team toll free at [email protected] to directly reach our dedicated service team who will assist in resolving your issue as quickly as possible.

Do note that the symptoms indicated above may have other causes so do be careful in the troubleshooting process. Case in point, if there are no pictures on the screen, you will need to check if it is not a problem with the LED backlights. You will want to perform the “flashlight test” to see if the LCD panel is really creating images but the backlights are just not functioning. This test was performed in repairing a Vizio TV that has sound but no pictures (you may want to check that out). Granted that the TV also has no sound, there’s good likelihood that the issue is not due to faulty LED backlights but it will not hurt to do a quick check as the flashlight test is very easy to do anyway.

Noah, screens that size are almost always unavailable which is simply due to the cost. Even if it would be available, it will cost you far more than a new TV. I personally would try and find the same model TV but has a other issues, then use that for a donor. The only way to hunt down LCD screens is by using the panel number, not the TV"s make and model number.

This TV has the same SRS TruSurround speaker system as many of the other entries in the E-series. The TruSurround system is designed to give you a more immersive experience with deep bass and clear dialogue from speakers specifically designed for use in flat panel TVs.

The Vizio E601I-A3 comes enabled for wireless connection out of the box for access to Vizio"s suite of internet apps. This gets you access to just about all of the best places online to stream media, connect to social networks, or read the news.

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.
