hi this is ty pendlebury with a review of the vizio m 601 da3 our television with plasma now out of contention in 2014 it's up to companies like vizio to make the best of a bad lot and produce decent pictures from an LCD TV the way Vizio is doing this is with a local dimming system as featured on its 60-inch em series apart from local living this TV also features passive 3d and a smart TV suite with apps such as netflix and pandora connections on this include four hdmi ports and two USB the sign of this television is excellent with a very streamlined look but there are computer like elements such as the browser tab like logo and the monitor like stand the remote control is a combined Wi-Fi infrared model and while it's supposed to be a learning remote unfortunately we couldn't get that to work so I'd suggest get a Logitech Harmony instead while watching this TV you aren't fooled into thinking you're watching a plasma but it is capable of much better black levels than any other TV at its price picture quality is solid even if it can't compete with a Panasonic st60 for example but try finding one of them anymore color is acceptable though red is a little off and can't be corrected with the minimal color controls with the vizio M 601 da 3r you'd get a big screen a decent picture and living room friendly design even the closest competitor sharp finds it hard to compete on all three points this has been ty pendlebury for cnet.com you
