Vizio E320i-B2
The Vizio E320i-B2 is a worthy entry-level LED TV for a great budget price (the high $200 range). As a perk, it includes a range of upgrades, such as the full-array LED backlighting, which enhances the contrast and uniformity of the picture. It creates better peak whites and deep blacks as a result. Be aware that this TV, at 32 inches, does not have the active dimming found on larger models. Also, this size TV does not offer 1080p or a 120Hz refresh rate, but these features would likely bump up the price significantly. However, this E series includes the Vizio Internet Apps Plus for the first time. If you’re watching non-HD cable, be aware that it will be tough to find the optimal aspect ratio without losing screen space or cutting off/stretching the image.
