The list goes on and on.

Apps can’t be the whole story when looking at televisions. No, the picture counts… a lot. And the good news here is that the new Vizio televisions deliver thanks to the latest advanced technologies like Full-Array LED backlighting “for superior light uniformity” and up to 16 Active LED Zones. Sports and action fans will be pleased to know that the VIZIO E-Series includes “Clear Action 240.” This technology combines powerful image processing with a 120Hz effective refresh rate for enhanced detail when it comes to fast action scenes. These come together to serve up what VIZIO describes as, “vivid details with deeper, more pure black levels.”
