1 0

Review of VIZIO E-Series 50" (E50-F2) powered by the Slant community.

In its price range, the 50" VIZIO E-Series is among a few TVs that offer excellent SDR performance. It reproduces deep and solid blacks thanks to its reasonably high native contrast ratio and high black uniformity. The colors look vividly accurate because of the TVs high peak brightness and excellent color accuracy. The TV also supports all the critical HDR formats, such as DolbyVision, HDR10, and Hybrid Log Gamma.

What are the best TVs?

Pros

Pro
Good performance in a dark room

The VIZIO E-Series is a good home theater TV because it offers good picture quality when placed in a dark environment where it can reproduce beautiful images that have inky blacks and bright and colorful highlights.

The blacks look good thanks to the TV's high native contrast ratio that measures at 5900:1 which is a decent result for a TV in this price range. Additionally, the blacks don't look cloudy thanks to their high uniformity.

Pro
Requires no calibration

You'll not need to spend time calibrating this TV because its out-of-the-box color accuracy is quite high. The color inaccuracies cannot be spotted by a human eye because of the TV's average color inaccuracy measures at the dE of 1.97.

Cons

Con
Poor viewing angles

Those who view the TV at an angle will see a degraded picture because of the TV's bad overall viewing angles. For example, the image's black levels will start to shift once the viewing angle gets larger than 13 degrees.
