NICE TV Review by I4nI

Just purchased the 55 E series, real nice TV for the price, kudos Vizio. Every thing works fine. 3D is awesome, picture is great. Set up is easy and also operation is quite easy The tv adds up to all the more expensive brands with a more economical price. Like all slim tvs you will just want to add a sound bar, or connect to a theater system . Remember your tv is as only as good as your cable provider and your accessories, Way to go Vizio
