VIZIO M501D-A2R Review: “Editors’ Choice” And “7.9 Rating”

The Story
Strap on your spurs and dump out that tea: This edge-LED LCD from Vizio is our first taste of the American company's 2013 line-up. Yeehaw! Okay, so maybe they're as much Taiwanese as American—they still make major rounds in stateside retail branches.

Now, I know what you're thinking—Wasn't the M-Series around last year? That may be the case (same for the E-Series), but both have survived, thrived, and multiplived. At least as far as screen sizes go: At CES 2013, I saw something like twenty different E-Series sizes advertised. Pretty wild.

As for this 50-incher, it's the M501D-A2R. While it may be a mouthful to say, it's a treat to watch and use. With this TV, Vizio packaged a quality panel with decent smart features to offer consumers an awful lot of value. If you're in the market for a 50-inch smart TV, keep an eye on this one.
