The Razor LED backlighting system is the highight of the picture quality on the E701I-A3. A refresh rate of 120Hz and a 6ms response time ensure smooth and stable images. This TV has a dynamic contrast ratio of 200,000:1 and 16.7 million colors to make for great picture reproduction. The TV produces deep blacks and bright whites while keeping colors bright and accurate. This models also incoporates an ambient light sensor for automatically adjusting brightness of the TV according the current light in the room.

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 E701I-A3 comes wireless enabled out of the box for connection 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.

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.

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.

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

This T-Con board failure is happening at 500 hours of usage and according to VIZIO affects those E701i-A3 TVs with serial numbers from LFTRNXAN4500001 to LFTRNXAN4702936.

If your VIZIO E701i-A3 is older than a year, your warranty will not cover the replacement costs for a new T-Con board. Fortunately the replacement RUNTK5261TPZH T-Con board is available for sale online for under $150.

The RUNTK5261TPZH T-Con board is located in the middle top of the back panel, usually under an aluminum cover held in place by four corner screws. It may also be held in place with foil tape at the top. It’s connected to the Main board through a black LVDS cable and flat ribbon cables.

Thank you for this article. I purchased my E701i-A3 in April 2014. I called the number you provided above and a professional-behaving, English-speaking American assisted me. My new TV is on the way. I hope it lasts. I was told the new TV carries a 90 day warranty or the original TVs warranty…which ever is longer. So for me it’s the 90 day warranty. We’ll see…fingers crossed.

I purchased my M701d-A3 in 2014. It has the same dark shadow spot as shown above on the E701i-A3 that Vizio has admitted to being their problem by extending the warranty. I called customer service and was told it was out of warranty and I would have to have it repaired myself. Someone had to be the first to report the E701i-A3 problem. I would think after paying $2200 for a TV it would las more than 24 months and Vizio would stand behind their product. I’ll just watch it until it completely blacks out then buy a more reputable brand. If you are considering a Vizio, go to another brand. Vizio is a disposable brand.
