As a future college student, I have looked for, researched, and tried out many small HDTV’s to use as a computer monitor/HDTV for my dorm room. The employees at Best Buy stated that if a TV wasn’t over 46 inches big, you couldn’t tell the difference between 1080p and 720p. However, he didn’t know what he was saying. At relatively far distances (i.e. normal watching distance for most TV’s) the difference between 1080p and 720p is small to none. However, from a short distance (like 4 feet for a 42 inch, or 1.5 feet for a 24 inch) you can easily tell the difference in resolution. This is where this T.V. comes in. As a computer monitor, I will be close up to the screen, reading tiny text like the text in this review! Now that the main issue has been sorted out, it’s onto the main review:
Contrast-5000:1 may seem like a big number, but that is only dynamic. Although I couldn’t find the static/typical contrast, it is probably around 900-1000. However, since this set has a relatively low brightness (300 cd/m2), blacks looked blacker than normal, which is a good thing.
Resolution- 1080p…enough said!
Motion- 5 ms means that button presses on any device (like a keyboard or game console) happen with only an unnoticable .05 second delay, which is lightning fast. However, since there is no 120Hz, there will be noticeable motion blur on extremely fast action scenes. This tv is relatively small, so motion blur won’t be a big problem for normal watching and gaming.
Feature Set/Presentation- since this is an ECO HDTV, it uses far less power than previous models, if your into the whole energy saving thing. SRS TruSurround is always a good thing for making movies and other sounds “pop” but when that program is run through 3 Watt speakers, you can’t expect much. The 3D comb filter, now standard with many HDTV’s, helped to put out a wide color scheme; at least that’s what my friends said they saw, I’m colorblind, so color gamut specs really don’t apply to me. The white/black look touches off my 360, but it can only match with so many things.
Overall Value- for a little over 0, you get full 1080p, a relatively “large-small-screen” great for a computer monitor, and the confidence that you got another good HDTV from Vizio.
Hope you liked the review!
