Watching shows off Netflix seems to look better using the Smart App built in rather than using a PC and going to their site, if you're going to be viewing in 384p or 480p. For the shows I watch in that resolution on Netflix, with the noise cancelling options turned to high, even 384p looks great.

Check rtings.com for a general idea of what you 'd be getting with the E-series. Read the review, the Q&A, and use the compare tool to see what the competition (Samsung) is like. Also read up on the calibration of colors for these sets. Do keep in mind they say each set of a different size will need to be calibrated differently, but you'll know how complicated of a task you're in for just by checking theirs for the 55" and 60". Using the color tuner as they did would be a daunting task, requiring a $100+ tool or $100+ service by a professional. For the 40" color tuner I followed a CNET review's calibrations, but I also turned the color up to 60. The optimal amounts of backlight, brightness, and contrast are going to be different for practically everything.

Different shows look better with different settings, even games that switch between day and night. It will drive you crazy finding the perfect presets, but you can save up to 6 of them and change individual ones in the little ways needed. I have a separate one for regular PC viewing, PC gaming, Wii U gaming, TV watching, and Netflix. After enough practice I know exactly what to change, but believe me I screwed with the settings for over 24 hours in total before being comfortable with each source. You wouldn't notice on a TV with hardly any settings to change, so really I'm quite satisfied with being able to bring the optimal picture, even to shows that may have filmed with a strangely warm filter added on top. You can set it and forget it if you aren't that technical about it.

Different sizes of the E-series have different amounts of lag input, and I know at least 40" and above has game mode to reduce the latency. It doesn't have much of an affect on the picture, other than its intended job in aiding gamers. I suspect the different sized models may have different amounts of motion blur. With 60fps sources I don't really notice it. That's the problem with this TV though - most film is 24fps. Watching nature films in 1080p looks great - until they, while close, pan the camera around a mountain. With or without trees, these scenes give the most noticeable amount of motion blur. Because of the amount of blur, you can't enjoy the detail of 1080p. Turning on Clear Action alleviates the problem, somewhat. While it does decrease motion blur, it also turns the backlight way down and you will notice a flicker. Not just 'sensitive' users as they claim. It's so obvious. I do not use it for anything, but I don't take points off for it being available. Just know there are better sets for watching documentaries and movies. It is still awesome for gaming.

I can just put a USB dongle into the TV and use a wireless keyboard, and the only thing I really used it for was for putting in my Netflix login info. Having to make sure you have each input's calibrations right can be a pain, and would be pretty annoying for someone that just can't decide on which settings look best. I obsessed over my presets for longer than most anyone would care to, or that would even consider the difference to be worth the time consumed.The 40" i received has WAY better gray scale uniformity than what rtings.com reviewed it.

Off, ignore the people complaining about the TV they had shipped received as damage. Some claim they can't even hear the voices of people on TV it's so loud - they're full of it. You have to stick your head behind the TV with nothing else on to even hear it.

That's a problem with the shipping service, not Vizio. Giving a TV a 1 star rating for a UPS screw up is absolutely stupid. Don't let those complaining of a buzz coming from the back ruin your chance at a great product. Some claim they can't even hear the voices of people on TV it's so loud - they're full of it. I have a subwoofer with an amp that makes a way louder buzzing sound that is completely inaudible with just a PC fan running. This TV has a tiny hum, not a BUZZ. You have to stick your head behind the TV with nothing else on to even hear it. It's just electricity and in no way signifies damage. Angry nerds will be angry nerds.
