Best TV Pictures For Bright Rooms; VIZIO E500i-A1 Featured

Vizio E500i-A1
CNET rating: 3.5 stars out of 5

The good: The E500i-A1 shows deep black levels, a uniform screen and commendable bright-room performance, making it a solid midlevel LCD TV. The Smart content selection is excellent. With its thin bezel, the set has a more compact, sleeker look than many competitors.

The bad: The local-dimming system can cause crushing; the dimming effect can be obvious on some scenes; the advertised 120-Hz refresh rate does nothing to improve picture quality.

The cost: $598 to $915

The bottom line: The Vizio E series offers picture quality nearing the more expensive Vizio M series, and is a very good choice if you value its Smart TV features and styling.
