The 1080p image is crisp with the 4K picture looking considerably better.

We can speak, however, to its quality as it relates to other units weвЂ™ve had around the home and office.В This being our first Vizio we found it to be every bit as good as competitive models weвЂ™ve purchased in the pastВ - and spent more money on. There are plenty of great review sites dedicated to the cause ( example) which can help spell out color contrasts, input lag, color gamut, and other fine points.В As we were putting this together we looked around and found that the M50-E1 scored fairly well in most aspects and benchmark tests. We canвЂ™t speak to the absolute specifics of the TV and how it relates to other models on the market. It did not take long for us to appreciate the ease in which we could start a YouTube video on our phone and send it to the Vizio.В ThereвЂ™s a setting you can enable which will automatically wake the monitor up so youвЂ™re not fumbling for a remote or walking over to push any buttons.В Quite often weвЂ™ll queue up a new episode of a show on HBO GO or Netflix and pass it off to the M50-E1. The entire process is straightforward and intuitive. It took aboutВ as much time to take theВ monitor out of the box and set it up as it did to walk through the menus and configure to the network. Setup was incredibly easy, with a few menus to follow along. Often weвЂ™ll turn it on so we can Cast our phone or tablet to the television. This left us with an extra HDMI port as well asВ all other inputs.В Depending onВ what sort of habits weвЂ™re in, weвЂ™ll often turn to the NVIDIA Shield because of its Google smarts and casting ability. We connected an NVIDIA Shield console, DVR, and PlayStation 4.

There are more than enough to connect a game console or two, plus a DVR. Similar to a computer display or traditional monitor, there are multiple inputs available, including 4 HDMI, 2 USB, 1 component, and 1 Ethernet. As to why itвЂ™s not a вЂњTVвЂќ in VizioвЂ™s eyes, itвЂ™s because there is no internal tuner for over-the-air broadcasts.

Moreover, it offers Google Home and Google Assistant technology, something thatвЂ™s also becoming increasingly present.Д«illed as a display and not a TV, the Vizio M50-E1 is, for all practical purposes, a 50-inch television screen. We were asked by Vizio to review one of its latest displays (TVs) because a key selling point was its internal Chromecast capabilities. ItвЂ™s built into speakers and monitors and considered an industry standard. It was not all that long ago that these little dongles and built-in smarts were just a concept. Now we cover smartwatches, wearables, and other tech that didnвЂ™t even exist until a few years back.
