- Well Done Review by House Cat

We are very pleased with our new Vizio Smart TV!
I had purchased a Hisense Flat Screen; but was not happy with the picture quality.
Returned it and spent $150.00 more on the Vizio Smart TV!! So glad I did.(Posted on 3/28/13)
- VERY GOOD BUY! Review by Kelly

I am usually a strict Samsung TV buyer, but over the weekend I went to Sam's Club. I spent about 2 hours looking at the different array of TVs, large and not-so-large, and I came across the Vizio LED E5000i-A0. I was a little skeptic at first because I'm truly picky when it comes to what I want in electronics. I wanted to make sure it was LED, have at least 120 hz refresh rate, have Wifi, and be at least 50 inches. I had the Samsung 55" in my cart for about an hour of this time before I came across the Vizio. It took me quite a well to give up the 5-inch difference and not get my usual Samsung in TVs, but I decided to give Vizio a try. I brought it home, set it up myself (and I'm a female and still this TV wasn't too heavy to lift up on my own), and completed the prompts for set up. I've gotta tell you how impressed I am with this TV. It has immediate wireless access to my cable modem, and therefore, a push of a button and I'm already online. It also has several apps already loaded (with the option to load more if I want) including Amazon, Netflix, Facebook, and Yahoo. I was quite impressed with the layout of the amenities, the volume, and the picture quality for HD is awesome! I decided to keep this TV as long as it will have me. Great purchase!
