Vizio M701d-A3R

The Vizio M-Series M1d-A3R is an excellent value with great design and a snappy picture; great shadow detail, fairly deep black levels, and excellent video processing.It also offers sleek styling and an improved Smart TV system.

It doesn't have as deep a black level as a plasma; suffers from more blooming than many LCDs; skin tones appear a little red; similar motion resolution to a 120Hz TV; reflective screen; Yahoo apps seem clunky; remote sensor isn't very responsive.

The 60-inch Vizio M1d-A3R doesn't quite offer the very best value for money in the company's range, but nevertheless features fine picture quality in a large size.

Great TV

I am overall impressed with the purchase of this tv in all aspects. I did notice that the vizio remote has to be pointed at the sensor, I changed it over to a satellite remote and have had no issues with it since then. This tv has exceeded my...

Too many issues would NEVER recommend to anyone.

This is the first Vizio TV I have ever purchased. I was quite optimistic about it and did my research before purchasing this TV. My friend who is a bit of a nerd when it comes to electronics tried to talk me out of purchasing this but I did not listen...

Great TV so far.

My 4-year old 46” Samsung in the bedroom died. Moved a 52” Samsung from the den to the bedroom and purchased the 70” Vizio for the den. Picture quality is great with ample inputs and adjustments. I see no reflective increase with this TV; actually, the...

Great picture and value in a large screen TV

After looking at every TV that I could find in the 65"-70" class, I was pretty set on the Samsung's picture and features (I still like the speech recognition remote) I have to admit. But I wanted to see the new Vizio M Series, as I'd heard they were...

Beautiful picture & design

This is a great TV for the money, not sure what the others were complaining about. I've had it for around a month and so far the only problem was that the remote was a bit laggy. A quick call to their OUTSTANDING tech support fixed the issue with a...

picture quality, system design, power efficiency, does not heat up room like plasma, relatively cost-effective, excellent lifetime us-based support

remote was laggy but easily fixed, wish it already included the wifi-ac connectivity

VIZIO M701D-A3 70 vs Sony KDL-70R550A

I returned a Sony Sony KDL-70R550A (also purchased from Costco) after it started rebooting on me but I am glad I did. The Vizio has much better picture quality and MUCH better blacks due to its local dimming. No dirty screen effect like I had with the...

Great TV, if it has 2D to 3D Conversion

Everything about the TV is great which includes price. YES remote is some times shaky. I connected the TV via Either net cable and the browsing speed sucks. Did the speed test and found out its not the download speed.
