Did a quick search and didn't see an owners thread for this model let alone the e-series model.
Two major reviews out there:

I'm going to give this set a shot for the following reasons:
1) Decent reviews
2) Price
3) Not really wanting a 3D set yet
4) Not really wanting a smart tv - it has it but it seems vizio didn't put too much development into it to keep costs down - won't use the feature.
5) Want to get off an old plasma.
6) Wife will let me spend 999$ on this over the 3500 I wanted to spend on the UN65ES8000
I also have an i1pro meter and both HCFR and Calman so it will be fun tuning it. I plan on getting a higher-end oppo blu-ray player because its simply the best for the money at around 500$.
Feel free to agree/disagree with my opinions / talking points - would love a lively dialogue.
If you have a set, and if you've had it calibrated - please post some pictures! Lets see some uniformity tests/screenshots.
Hopefully, baring the birth of my second kid this weekend I'm going to pick one up (wife is due on the 16h so we're pretty close).
Best regards,
M
