What’s not to like?,
I was looking for a 55-inch but was stopped by the Vizio’s price. Given that it had my minimum requirement of wi-fi and three HDMI outlets and that I had previous excellent experience with Vizio (apart from the annoying Ambient Light Sensor feature), it was not much of a gamble.
This is not a super slim model but the bezel around the screen is small and unobtrusive. The picture is bright, clear and detailed — once you have turned off the entirely useless and annoying (to me) Ambient Light Sensor, which brightens and darkens the screen at random and for no apparent reason. The sound from the Vizio is almost as good as the sound from my Panasonic sound bar and certainly better than the sound from my 37-inch Toshiba and 42-inch Vizio (both of which were more expensive than this 50-inch Vizio).
The Vizio is very easy to set up. It is, quite literally, plug and play. And within a very few minutes of filling in on-screen answers, the wi-fi was working and Netflix was playing. The remote is small, as are the keys (for my somewhat large fingers). But everything is clearly labeled, which makes it is easy to use. The learning process for the remote is short. I only had to refer to the ‘Quick Start’ guide once.
The 55-inch LCD televisions I was considering buying were all three to four hundred dollars more than the Vizio. They were slimmer — but not $300-400 worth. I came across the Vizio almost by accident, bought it on impulse, and am very glad that I did.
One last good point. Unlike the 42-inch Vizio, the bright backlit Vizio name on the front of the 50-inch can be turned off. On the 42-inch I covered it with a small, almost unnoticeable piece of black duct tape.
I paid $649.99 (before tax) at Costco. The list price (before tax and shipping) at Vizio.com is $679.99

The E502AR: 50 Inch.,
*I’ll start with a quick note; one that should be noted – As stated in a previous review of this television, the remote issue is very confusing. Especially when you first start up your tv in hopes of a quick set-up. The quick start guide wasn’t very helpful. Should have come with the keyboard remote
The TV for the price was hard to pass up. Was in the market for a new television and had to jump on it.
The delivery was on-time and the service Amazon used was courteous. Very easy to work with. A good note to start off my journey for this mystical new land known as a 50in television.
Initial set-up was straight forward; up to the part where I would point again to my quick note*. It was very confusing when there was no keyboard within the remote provided. After reading the other review upon my confusion helped me out. Hitting OK opened up the on-screen keyboard. Fairly easy to navigate from there.
After that hiccup, the picture quality is great and as of writing this: I’m pleased, aside from the remote issue. You’ll be kicking yourself in the butt when setting it up if you haven’t figured out the remote issue.
