Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?
 | With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

PRO: I bought this TV at my local Costco for $799 and it's a SMOKING deal. This TV has everything you could want in a TV. 4 HDMI hook up's, it's got a tiny thin profile (less than 2"), 1080p, 120h, and is LED lit.
I liked the LED-LCD tv's better than the LCD's because they are brighter and the colors show more detail especially when there are dark colors, you are able to view the contrast between blacks and grays.
I shopped around a while before finding this item, looking at Samsung's, Sony's, and even some LG's. After looking online, at Fry's electronics, and Costco I decided this was the best deal for my $. I was looking towards a TV with internet capability but did not want to compromise on TV size or quality to do that. Maybe I'll get a converter for this one sometime, but at the moment...I do love my TV!
One downside for all Vizio previous owners...the preset picture settings are not as many as on other Vizio models. I have another 47" LCD in my house from Vizio and there are like 20 different picture settings, this one only has 4 or 5, but they do cover the main ones. There is a "home", "game", "movie", "retail" and "photo". I think the "retail" is the most like the "vivid" setting on my other TV and I like watching things with brilliant colors, otherwise it doesn't feel like hi-def anyways.
Good TV if your on the fence....go look at Costco they have it on display, it's a beautiful TV :)
CON: This model DOES NOT HAVE INTERNET! This is not correct, it has every other feature, minus the VIA internet apps. It is 1080p, 120h, and is an LED-LCD. But correction DOES NOT have wireless built in like this amazon post describes.

Yes this TV does dim with adaptive lumina enabled. Anytime there is inactivity or a dim scene it will dim. To fix this you go to DISPLAY mode in the menu and select CUSTOM. It is here that you turn off Adaptive Lumina. I confirmed this fixed the problem in a scene in Iton Man II (where stark kisses pepper).
That said, the picture is spectacular. It cannot be beaten for the price. So while Adaptive Lumina is an issue... If you stay in the CUSTOM display mode Adaptive Lumina will turn off. So I do not understand when I see reviews that say this is still an issue even with Adaptive Lumina off. Perhaps they are not staying in the CUSTOM display mode?
Also if you have a Harmony universal remote, you need to program some of the keys in RAW mode to get them to act right. Mainly any of the input selects.
The tuner on the TV is fine with an over the air antenna (OTA). It even pulls in channel 2-1 in chicago with no problems. I did see on review question the quality of the OTA tuner. But so far it is fine.
I gave the FEATURES for this TV 3 stars because of Adaptive Lumnina. It is the same reason I gave the TV (as a whole) 4 stars instead of 5 - which it really deserves if it were not for Adaptive Lumina. So far Adaptive Lumina is not a deal breaker.

This t.v. has a feature called "Adaptive Luma" which claims to automatically decrease the brightness of the screen in response to changes in lighting in your room. However, my t.v. automatically darkens the screen whenever there is a dark scene onscreen, regardless of the darkness in my room. For example, when a scene is taking place at night, the screen automatically becomes so dark that you cannot see anything on screen at all; it is nearly pure black. This problem occurs even when Adaptive Luma is OFF. Having bright lights in my room failed to fix the problem, as well. Extremely disappointing; I have to return the t.v.
