vizio 46 lcd panel replacement pricelist

There’s never been a better time to be in the market for a high-end TV. Whether you want an LED or a UHD display, you’re sure to find the perfect fit for your living room. When looking at specific television brands, Samsung and Vizio are two names likely to show up on your shopping list. We regularly get e-mails and comments from TechJunkie readers asking for our advice about which one of these two brands to buy from.

But what we can do is provide you with an overview of both brands. We’ll also highlight the things an informed consumer should be looking for when they shop for a new TV, regardless of what brand(s) they prefer. This overview of Vizio and Samsung TVs should help you choose the one that is the best fit for your needs and budget.

For example, the iPhone has been using Samsung screen panels ever since the iPhone X, as no other company was able to produce the quantity and quality of screens that Apple needed to make that phone a success.

Vizio is an American consumer electronics corporation headquartered in Irving, California. Vizio produces a variety of audio and video equipment but mainly concentrates on TVs, sound equipment, and associated hardware. The Vizio brand isn’t quite as well-known as Samsung yet but it’s definitely on the rise. Vizio was originally a warehouse brand that operated as a club before going mainstream.

Vizio products are of outstanding quality, but rather than focus on screens and traditional measurements, Vizio emphasizes smart technology. It concentrates on how users are evolving in their use of technology. For example, some Vizio TVs don’t have TV tuners (i.e., buttons for changing the channel) because broadcast TV is on its way out. On the other hand, some Vizios come with an Android tablet that enables SmartCast streaming, making modern television viewing more accessible.

Vizio does make good TVs, and at a competitive price as well. Let’s look at the positives and negatives of Vizio televisions and select our favorite of their lineup.

PositivesCompetitively Priced: Vizio TVs have similar features to Samsung TVs, but for a much lower price. In many cases, the cost can be over a hundred dollars cheaper.

Dark Room Picture Quality is Amazing: Vizio TVs have a full-array dimming backlight. This produces deeper blacks and less glare, so your television is more comfortable to watch.

The Vizio P Series Quantum is the better of the Vizio televisions. It has optimal picture quality, excellent motion handling, and exceptionally low input lag. It’s also one of the brightest televisions on the market. This means there will be no problem overcoming glare. The contrast, uniformity, and dimming system are fantastic. It comes with five HDMI ports as well, allowing you to connect all of your devices at once.

No, Samsung doesn’t manufacture Vizio televisions. Vizio is an independent company that outsources the manufacture of its televisions in Taiwan by AmTran Technology. This Taiwanese company operates multiple locations across Asia.

Both companies offer great quality products. Samsung is almost unbeatable in terms of screen quality, audio, and usability. Vizio delivers good products with excellent screens at very competitive prices and focuses on innovation and user experience. Vizio’s known for pricing its HDTV products lower than the competition.

Putting brands aside for the moment, what should you be looking for in a new TV? Shopping for a new TV is now more complicated than ever, thanks to more options, new features, and competing standards. LED, LCD, OLED, QLED, 4K, 8K, HD, UHD, 1080p, and other features will be stickered across screens in the store. But what does it all mean?

LCD and LED have fairly limited viewing angles, meaning the further away from the front of the TV you are, the worse your viewing experience. Viewing angles differ by manufacturer so test before you buy.

Vizio sells more small LCD TVs in the U.S. than any other manufacturer so it"s worth putting one of these hot sellers which can be found at Costco, Sams Club or Target through some testing to find out what the consumer is getting.

Sources from non-HD programming look a bit dim with our calibrated picture settings. In Movie Picture mode we lost a lot of color and the picture appeared too dim and lifeless, however when switching to Standard Picture mode, the color saturation improved significantly but we sacrificed dark shadow detail. Dark shadows detail is nearly completely lost. So I recommend using both our settings and the Standard Picture Mode setting depending upon what type of programming your watching. HD programming seems fine with our Movie Mode settings. So that"s one of my main complaints with this TVs picture quality – inconsistency. There is some judder, jerkiness during slow pannning from the 60Hz LCD panel.

Appearance: The E321VL is not bad looking with a black gloss frame that triangulates in the front as in bevels. It adds a little touch of design to what would otherwise be an overly boring layout. The TV comes with a black gloss plastic rectangle table stand which the TV must be screwed into. Vizio includes the screws and screwdriver in the box.

Currently the Vizio E371VL costs around $400 from authorized Internet dealers and retailers. It offers a decent feature set and quality in this size and there just isn"t as much in the 37" size anymore. Competition is from the LG 37LK450.

The average price figures we show are a bit higher than the average for all big TVs on the market. That’s both because the largest sets carry a premium and because CR tends to purchase a lot of expensive, high-end sets. That allows us to test the latest features, such as Mini LED backlights in LCD/LED TVs, which can help boost contrast and reduce halos, and high dynamic range (HDR), which can produce brighter, more vibrant images.

TCL, Vizio, and Hisense are additional brands to consider, especially if you’re on a budget. With TCL and Hisense, higher-end sets (the 6- and 8-series TVs from TCL, and 8-series sets from Hisense) have done very well in our tests, offering a lot of bang for the buck in terms of both picture quality and high dynamic range (HDR) experience. TCL’s higher average price is due to its top-tier sets having newer technologies (Mini LED, 8K resolution), plus a push into very large screen sizes. The company also offers many low-priced sets that haven’t done as well, lowering the brand’s Overall Score. Vizio sets have done well for overall picture quality across the board, though they generally fall behind a bit when it comes to HDR.

In this size category, we again see much greater differences in pricing between the least and most expensive sets from major brands than from smaller players. For example, there’s a $600 difference between the cheapest ($400) and priciest ($1,000) 65-inch Hisense TVs in our current ratings. With Samsung and Sony, that difference is a whopping $2,400. One reason for Samsung’s large spread is the debut of itsfirst QD OLED TV ($3,000), which is now in our ratings (though it arrived too late this year for our statistical analysis). Sony TVs tend to be expensive in part because the company offers several OLED TVs, which tend to cost more, and because it stopped making lower-end LED/LCD sets. (See the best 65-inch TVs under $1,000.)

As in the 70-inch size category, Hisense, TCL, and Vizio appear to be good options for those on tighter budgets. Their better-performing sets tend to be pricier but still less expensive than comparable TVs from LG, Samsung, and Sony. Hisense has the best balance of price and performance of the group. But given the wide differences in performance and price between the best- and worst-performing models within these brands, you should look at specific models to determine the best value.

Average prices go from a low of $342 (for Toshiba, which makes Fire TV Edition sets sold at Amazon and Best Buy) to a high of $1,034 (Sony’s average). As we note above, Sony focuses on higher-priced sets, and both Sony and LG’s average prices are pulled up by their OLED sets—these TVs can look great, but they tend to cost more than all but the very best LED/LCD models.

Two years ago, Vizio began offering OLED TVs, but that hasn’t yet had a big impact on its average price, because the majority of its sales are still less expensive LED/LCD TVs.

In term of Overall Score, there’s a bit of drop-off after LG. Some models from Hisense, Insignia (Best Buy’s house brand), TCL, Toshiba, and Vizio might be worth considering for less finicky viewers who are on an even tighter budget. As we mentioned earlier, some higher-end Hisense and TCL sets deliver very satisfying overall picture quality and enjoyable HDR. Many sets from the other brands do well for overall picture quality, but the trade-off is a less satisfying HDR experience. Insignia seems to be a decent choice for budget-minded consumers, earning a higher average Overall Score than Toshiba despite having a lower average price.

In fact, the price range is fairly narrow in this size category once you get past those top three brands. Hisense and TCL emerge as good possible options for those on the tightest TV budgets because their average price is actually lower than a few brands’, such as Vizio and Toshiba, that have lower average scores.

Apart from LG, there’s not much of a difference among the other brands in either average price or performance, but Hisense has the lowest overall average price, while Vizio has the highest.

During the recent Labor Day weekend, many retailers were advertising delicious deals and fantastic financing offers on HDTVs. Some of the sales were so appetizing, so hard to pass up, that they managed to get my good, fence-sitting friend to finally hop down from his lofty vantage point and accompany me to the store. With hopes of finding a new flat panel for his living room, we headed on down to the bright lights of the big city. Interestingly, although countless press releases and HDTV-related emails pass through my inbox on a daily basis, it had been quite some time since I last walked The Wall of Televisions and confronted the truly dizzying array of flat panel choices facing today"s TV shopper. Where does one begin?

Size is usually a good place to start. 42 inches has become a popular option, but in many rooms it can seem a tad small and commonplace. My friend"s better half had already informed him that 50 inches was NOT allowed - that"s just way too big, apparently. Consequently, we landed on the 46/47-inch size range - not too big, not too small. Next came the inevitable LCD versus plasma debate.

On account of its superior performance during daytime viewing and its (typically) lower rate of power consumption, we decided to focus on LCD flat panels as opposed to plasma. There are also considerably more LCD models to choose from. Plasma, despite its superior picture quality in a darkened theater, seems to be losing its allure among TV makers.

The final decision had to do with options. The only "Must Haves" in my book were a healthy array of HDMI inputs and picture calibration flexibility. 120Hz or 240Hz processing was not high on the list, but more on that later. Although the LED backlighting available on select LCD models can sometimes deliver deeper blacks - and in turn a more attractive picture - its novelty will still add several hundred dollars to your bottom line. So, to recap, my friend and I were on the prowl for a high value LCD flat panel in the 46/47-inch size category. The store we were at didn"t carry VIZIO brand displays, but if they had, I have no doubt that the SV471XVT would have made the short list of final contenders.

Like its predecessor/sibling, the SV470XVT, Vizio"s SV471XVT continues the manufacturer"s tradition of delivering solid-performing, well-equipped displays at an affordable price. The 471 offers a handful of improvements over the 470, chief among them a brighter panel, (arguably) improved motion processing and a USB port for photo and video playback.

Upon plugging in and powering up the SV471XVT, I immediately formed two first impressions. One was good, the other not so much. The latter came from the large "VIZIO" light which sits front and center below the screen. The prominent logo glows orange when the TV is in standby mode and white when the set is powered on. For the same reason I always insist car dealers leave their name badges and license plate frames off my new car, I would prefer not to see a constant, glowing reminder of who made my television. I hoped to find a menu setting which would disable this power status indicator, but no such luck. This minor irritant certainly wouldn"t stop me from buying the SV471XVT, but it does blemish the face of an otherwise attractive television.

Once I unwrinkled my nose and stopped staring at the logo, a smile replaced my mild frown. The SV471XVT features an attractive and intuitive wizard which quickly guides you through the display"s initial setup. Since I live in the rural backwoods of northeast Connecticut where over-the-air HDTV reception is sketchy at best (and because cable television operators are collectively The Devil), I"m a DISH Network satellite customer. So, although the SV471XVT offers built-in ATSC, NTSC and QAM tuners, I didn"t have much use for them. This greatly reduced the time needed to pass though the setup wizard, but I do give VIZIO props for an elegant and well-executed welcome for new users.

The SV471XVT comes well equipped to handle the bulk of your connectivity needs. On the rear jack pack you"ll find three HDMI ports with a fourth conveniently located on the side panel. For analog HD connections, you get one component video input out back and another on the side panel. Composite and S-video ports are also available but if you know what"s good for you you"ll avoid using these at all costs. Flat panel HDTVs have a hard enough time with standard definition programming as it is. If you deliver it via composite or S-video, you"re just asking for trouble. Rounding out the connections, you"ll find a VGA/PC input on the back panel and a USB port on the side panel - a convenient location when connecting flash drives or an external hard drive.  I tried the former and browsed a few photos with relative ease. It should also be noted that the SV471XVT lacks internet connectivity, so you won"t find an ethernet port or integrated wireless on this display.

While we"re on the subject of volume, I should mention that the SV471XVT"s audio performance was above average for flat panel displays. Though I wouldn"t trade it for my Noble Fidelity in-wall setup, the Vizio"s SRS TruSurround HD option provided the most satisfying and immersive experience of the choices available. One other feature that" was fun to play with is SRS TruVolume, which attempts to reduce volume inconsistencies between regular programming and commercials, not to mention the sometimes vast volume differences that can exist between two different stations.  Although not a cure-all, it certainly did help minimize this irritating phenomenon on more than a few occasions.

The SV471XVT"s on-screen menu system was frustrating at first but soon became easy enough to live with.  I like to be able to see everything a menu contains without scrolling, but the Vizio engineers opted for a less-is-more approach. Consequently, the menu is rather small and its confusing text layout makes accessing sub-menus less than intuitive. (Do I click ENTER here or do I click left and right?) Once you get the hang of it, it"s easy enough to live with, but there is definitely some room for improvement.

Let"s take those in reverse order and start with the ugly. 120Hz and 240Hz "smooth motion" technology is all the rage in LCD flat panels right now, but I"m not among its fans. Attempting to reduce judder from film sources and make on-screen motion appear less blurry -- historically a problem for LCDs -- these "smoothing" algorithms have the nasty side effect of making 24fps film look like the evening news and just plain wrong. It"s quite disconcerting for many viewers (including yours truly) and you really have to see it firsthand to fully appreciate its effect. The SV471XVT offers 120Hz processing combined with a scanning backlight to achieve what VIZIO calls "240 SPS" or 240 "Scenes Per Second."  Except for those times where I verified my continued dislike for this feature, I left the "Smooth Motion" setting in the OFF position.  Your tastes may vary, though, so experiment with this setting on your own.

Using my Philips BDP7200 Blu-ray player connected via component video, I fired up the HQV Benchmark DVD and Blu-ray version using 480i and 1080i output, respectively. Although the SV471XVT passed the high def jaggies tests, the standard definition version presented some unsightly stair-stepping on the second and third moving bars within the circle. This means the set"s diagonal filter algorithm is not ideal.  The flower and sailboat noise tests revealed a fair amount of video noise at times, but engaging the "Low" mode on the Vizio"s Noise Reduction feature did help minimize the offense.

Processing issues aside, it"s real world programming that matters most and for the most part, the SV471XVT was a pleasure to watch.  Although standard definition programming and regular DVDs looked less than fantastic on the SV471XVT, I have yet to encounter a flat panel display where those sources have looked much better. Like all flat panel HDTVs, the SV471XVT does its best work when fed a high resolution HD signal, preferably via HDMI. With the exception of blacks, which often looked more charcoal gray than black, the SV471XVT was an able performer.

Yes, you can usually fix a flat screen TV. Whether you have a plasma, LED, OLED, HDR, HD or even LCD, TV repair pros can repair your TV. Flat screen TVs are expensive, and when they stop working it can make your heart stop. But TV repair technicians have advanced along with TV technology and are equipped with the proper tools and training for major and minor repairs. If your flat screen is too massive to transport, most repair companies have pickup and drop-off service. For the most common problems, TV repair pricing might range between $175 and $200 on average. Here are examples of the most common problems:

Nationally, the average price range for TV repair is $60-$90. LCD TV repairs are one of the most common TV repair requests. A liquid crystal display (LCD) TV uses the same technology as your smartphone and most computer screens. Images are created on an LCD screen by electric currents that pass or block light through liquid crystals that are encased between two polarized, glass-like sheets. LCD TVs can be very thin and are relatively affordable, making them one of the most prevalent types of TV on the market. If you have a broken LCD TV, it can probably be repaired. Common problems that can be repaired include a blank screen, sound issues, power problems and digital connection problems. Here is one example of LCD TV repair cost:

The LCD was intermittently powering up and powering off. Replacing the main circuit board solved the problem.How do you fix a TV with no picture but has sound?

You may be able to remove scratches from your flat-screen TV by using an LCD scratch repair kit. If that doesn’t work, consider hiring a technician to fix it or buy a new TV.
