Looking for a Smart TV that's almost 6 feet across?


At a Pepcom event in NYC, in mid-November, (2012) Vizio premiered their biggest LCD TV ever! It’s the 70” 701i Smart TV. With built-in WiFi, VIZIO Internet Apps like Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, VUDU, Hulu Plus, YouTube, Pandora, Facebook and Twitter, you can instantly enjoy online movies, TV shows, music, and more. My own personal opinion is that tweeting on a 70” screen will remove a bit of the coziness of Twitter and Facebook. Vizio says their new E-Series units, are the first of many large-size models to offer more screen space with a narrower border around the picture. The frame is little less than 1" thick and the entire TV is less than 2" thick. The unit comes with a two-sided smart remote. One side has the smart TV controls and the other side features a full QWERTY keyboard. The 701i offer 1080p Full HD resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Like it’s smaller brother, the 60", 601i model, the 70" unit auto-adjusts the picture to room lighting and features SRS StudioSound HD. The E-Series 701i 70" model retails for $1,999.99. If you can live with the slightly smaller 601i 60” TV, the MSRP drops in half, to $999.99. And if you happen to be reading this before Black Friday, Walmart & the Samsung website are offering the 60" model for $688. That's a lot of TV for not a lot of money considering the size and features. There's more info at the Vizio site, but they don't have the best price.
