Vizio E601I-A3

 

One thousand dollars is a sweet spot for HDTVs. When the price tag rolls over to four digits, it can be a lot harder to swallow than a product just brushing against costing a Cleveland, even if it's a big-ticket item. The Vizio E601I-A3 offers a pretty...

Inexpensive for its size. Very bright. Built-in Wi-fi

Not that energy efficient for an LED HDTV. Modest black levels. Colors run slightly cool

The Vizio E601I-A3 is a 60-inch LED HDTV you can get for less than $1,000, but you can spend a lot less on a slightly smaller screen.

Vizio E601i-A3

 

Vizio's low-priced, high-value formula has a couple of new incarnations in the 60- and 70-inch E1i-A3 TVs, which are priced at one and two grand respectively at press time. Those prices are bargain-basement for such massive, LED-powered screens alone,...

The Vizio E601i-A3 is an outstanding value as the least expensive LED TV of its size that also offers Smart TV. Its picture boasts highly accurate color and very good bright-room performance. Plenty of Smart content is on hand within a responsive...

The E1i-A3's picture can't match the black-level performance of some competing LED TVs, and suffers from some uniformity issues. Its Smart TV interface design seems a bit dated and cumbersome.

The Vizio E601i-A3 is the best value yet among big-screen LED TVs.

Vizio E601i-A3 60-inch LED HDTV Reviewed

 

Vizio has made a monster of a display with the 60-inch LED E601i-A3 HDTV. The television is large and affordable objectively. Andrew Robinson investigates the question of how it performs.

Once again, Vizio has managed to take a popular segment of the HDTV marketplace and make it accessible to more people without sacrificing performance or functionality with their E601i-A3 60-inch LED HDTV. It's not that the E601i is perfect - no display...

"Great picture but potential problems."

 

I LOVE this tv. It was a great deal for a 60" and the picture looks awesome. I am very happy with my purchase. However, after digging around on the support site, I happened to find this page buried in the Q&A section:...

Great picture, great price - $888 at Sam's Club, price match to other retailers. Lots of picture configuration options. Internet apps

potential for hardware failure (see full review), still some glare in bright room

"Very happy with our purchase"

 

My wife and I were in the market for a new TV, and after going to the store and looking at half a hundred different models, we settled on the Vizio 60" LED Smart TV.

Picture was absolutely stunning.

Built-in speaker is not good.

"This is my first flat-screen and it is a great value!"

 

Excellent picture, great size and great value.

Easy to use, very helpful, SmartTV functions. Matte screen, which is perfect for the high levels of ambient light. Great size! Very thin and light. Set up was very simple and quick. I love the QWERTY key pad on the back...it's very useful!

The screen definition and color is very nice, but not what you'd get on a Plasma or more expensive TV, but there's a big price to pay for that better picture. The speaker quality is poor, so plan on buying some external speakers of some sort.

"This is outstanding LED HDTV that you must get"

 

I highly recommend you get this HDTV for doing anything during daytime or nighttime, for its image quality and price. Also, feel free to check out http://www.squidoo.com/best-hdtv for information on best HDTV to get this year.

Pretty good audio quality and excellent image quality producing good black level. This HDTV has very accurate color and good performance for a great price. Great for watching movie or gaming during daytime and nighttime.

The sound quality is not as good as home theater system.

"BEWARE! Internet TV without the Internet"

 

How do you have a "smart" or "internet" TV and remove the capability of browsing the web? No built in browser makes this TV a joke. I spoke with Vizio support and they suggested buying their $99 set top box that turns a normal TV into an "internet" TV...

Cheap Big Screen

"Everything I Needed x 2"

 

An older 52" Samsung went died on me so I went to check out new TVs. I ran across a review on this TV on another site that encouraged me to head out to Costco to check it out. It looked great and at 980 bucks it seems like a steal. I already needed a...

"Large; economical; amazing picture and features"

 

Very happy so far with the E601i-A3. While the remote only allows input switching by progressing through all inputs, the TV accepts discrete commands for each of the inputs. This allows much better control with universal remotes like the Logitech...

- Big and bright; nice color; matte screen for bright rooms

- Still some glare in bright room
