hi everybody this is videos eseries one of the company's least expensive TVs for 2015 but it still has great picture quality and is excellent overall value no it doesn't have 4k resolution but for a 1080p TV this thing produces a really good picture we'll get to all that in a little bit but first let's check out the styling of this set it's black all around there's really very little accent going on here along the edge is a very thin bezel seen from the side it's actually going to be deeper than some of the LCD TVs out there but again nobody watches TV from the side the big difference from last year styling wise is it uses these two feet on either side which are splayed relatively wide instead of a central stand it's a little bit more stable than we tested last year but on the flip side if you have a relatively narrow cabinet you want to put this thing on top of you got to watch it make sure this TV fits the e-series is available in sizes from 24 all the way up to 70 inches above but only the 40 inch and larger sizes get local dimming local dimming is the real feature improvement here it allows the TV to dim different areas of the screen according to picture content to create great contrast and in the lab that really improved the picture compared to some other LCDs the TVs that don't have local dimming we really like the contrast and pop on this TV and again for a 1080p TV that's relatively inexpensive great picture quality good enough for pretty much everybody color accuracy and bright word performance on this TV were also very good in terms of features you get Smart TV which includes a good selection of apps they're available through a relatively simple interface here along the bottom now it's not going to be updated or respond as quickly as something like a Roku or an Apple TV but on the other hand it's pretty good for a smart TV suite depending on size the e-series has from 2 to 4 HDMI inputs and plenty of connectivity in terms of analog and other jacks there's also a USB port for photo video and music playback otherwise the feature set is pretty basic including a relatively simple remote which is what you'd expect from TV in this price range and that's a look at videos eseries when the least expensive and best values for 2015 I'm David Katz my resina
