This is a very nice TV at a nice pricepoint at $598. The picture quality and audio quality are both above my expectations. Barely anyone can tell the difference between 60Hz and 120 Hz, and I don't feel that paying the extra is worth any more in picture quality. Vizio is a quality company, based in California.

This TV is to replace a Samsung 52 in LCD that stopped working (flickering continuously on-off) in past weeks. From a quick look at Samsung at online forums, it seems all models of Samsung are prone to this type of failure, and I simply did not want to go back to a company that disappointed me. A TV should last until you are ready to replace it with a new one.

As for this not being a Smart TV, it is pretty clear it is not a Smart TV from doing your due diligence beforehand. Regardless, VIZIO E500AR 50-inch 1080p 60Hz LCD HDTV I look at the new technology of smart TV's as just another useless addition that increases the chance of it failing prematurely. This is a great TV if you don't need the Smart TV option.

Overall, it is a quality TV. No complaints

TV was delivered, unpacked, tested and has been used for the last several weeks. It's a no-frills TV that won't arrange for videoconferencing or allow you to do email, but will enable you to watch TV, period. Multiple HDMI ports on the back, one RGB port. Works well.
