Editorial Reviews
From the Manufacturer
Winner of Popular Science's Best of What's New 2011, Theater 3D is next-generation 3D that's better and brighter than conventional 3D. It also includes four pairs of lightweight, battery-free 3D glasses you can use at home or the theater. And don't worry—traditional HD movies and TV shows still look fantastic!
It also features Edge Lit Razor LED backlighting with Smart Dimming, 120 Hz refresh rate, 1080p Full HD and 1 million to 1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio. So whether its 2D or 3D, this HDTV renders both with amazing clarity, color and contrast. And VIZIO makes no compromises when it comes to sound with SRS StudioSound HD. This HDTV is truly like no other.
This set is roughly 59" diagonal image at 2.35:1... to put that into perspective...
- a normal 2.35 movie on this set ends up at the same size it would be on a 65 inch normal HDTV displaying black bars / letterbox
- however, this TV does it using 2560x1080 resolution vs 1920x817 on a normal TV... so the Vizio has a huge resolution advantage, and given a good source / upscaling engine... will look a lot better than a normal TV
- for web apps or if you are using a HTPC, that extra resolution is a HUGE advantage
In short, if you are a hardcore Home Theater person that will enjoy these advantages, this TV is completely awesome... esp when you consider you are getting a equal size and much better image than a 65 inch TV for a significant savings...
Thanks to a helpful comment from Joseph L on the Amazon review by Bobby Player, I have been experimenting with the Picture Size controls and have found a way to achieve the proper display of films formatted wider than 2.40:1. In the Automatic mode, some films formatted wider than 2.40:1 aren't properly detected by the TV and display window boxed and letter boxed in the 16X9 frame, making them look pretty small. This shortcoming has been noted by many professional reviews, including Consumer Reports, CNET and others, but I've not found a description of how to overcome it, so will offer this solution here.
In the "Wide" menu, select either ZOOM 1 or AUTO STRETCH. That should cause the movie to horizontally fill the 21:9 screen. Then, go into the PICTURE settings, choose "More" at the bottom of the list on the first page, and find the Size & Position settings. Use Vertical Size to achieve the proper geometry--I've found that a setting of between + 75 to +80 seems about right. I used the geometry pattern on the test disc Video Essentials HD Basics, as well as several movies to determine the range of settings, but your own eyes may lead you to apply more or less vertical stretch--there is lots of range to work with. I find pausing the picture and looking at a still frame much easier to judge than moving images. Don't forget to put the Vertical Size control back to 0 and the Wide control back to automatic when you're done watching the film--otherwise whatever you watch next will look distorted.
Note that this applies to an input of 1080p--usually even a regular DVD is upscaled to that resolution in the player. I don't know if this would work if the TV were fed a 480i or 480p signal directly, or with broadcast TV signals. I don't know that it wouldn't--I just haven't tried.
Sometimes the TV will properly display an extra wide movie in the Auto mode--mine displays the How the West Was Won Blu-ray (2.89:1) like a champ--and even displays the "Smilebox" version with the corners cut off, but across the full screen. But Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World ( 2.55:1) just parks in the middle and looks small until I apply the correction. The standard def. DVD of Oklahoma has a Cinemascope version ( 2.55:1) that also won't display properly until the correction is applied. On the other hand, the standard def. A Star Is Born (approx. 2.55:1) displays properly without the added correction.
I hope this is of some assistance to other owners of this television who have some extra wide films in their collections and would like to enjoy them on the "big" screen.
