So I'm in the market for a new TV. Depending on what I choose, will directly related to when I can get the TV. Could be next month, or a few months. Honestly I just started looking again yesterday, so I'm by no means set. A quick Google search and checking out CNet, leads me to some Vizio TVs. Now I have a couple of options here. I can go cheaper and bigger, or more expensive and smaller. As my title says, I'm looking at the E vs M series. The CNet review stated there really wasn't much of a difference between these two lines of TVs. So assuming I'd like to save some money, is there any reason to jump up to the M series for the extra money? However, saving money aside, I saw the P series, an affordable 4k, with what seems to be great reviews. however this costs a good chunk more. My original budget for TVs was $1000. So I'd be looking into the 50" model, whereas for the E/Ms I could get a 60". Now I'll have to double check, but I should have no problem fitting a 60" in my living room. also 60" I think would be as big as I'd want to go.
A little more info: As I said, my budget is ~$1000. If I can buy a TV for less, eg. the E/M TVs then great, means I can get a TV sooner, where as a P TV would mean more saving ofc. My apartment is small, I'm probably around 10 feet from where the TV would be. The room is a very well lit room. The TV would be in front of a large window, and on the side of my room, to the left is another large window, which always has a shade pulled down. there is no light source from a window to the right, or coming from where I'd be sitting. So nothing straight on. The TV would mostly be used to movies (Blu-Ray) via PS3 (and someday a PS4 haha), or Netflix, light TV watching (DirectTV), and medium to light video game playing. I would not consider myself a videophile. I'm coming from a 36" ~10y/o LED/LCD? not even 100% sure, so Any upgrade will be huge.
Long story short, I'm looking for the differences between the E and M series. If I'm to go that route, is it worth paying the extra money for the M series? or should I consider the jump up to the P series? If I go cheap, I'd be looking at the 60" models, where as the P series, I'd be looking at the 50" model, to stay closer to my budget.
Thank you for your help! If there is a thread that would help me, to save anyone from writing too much, I'd be happy to be directed towards it. If there are other TVs I should consider to fit my needs, I'll also take recommendations on those. I am by no means set on these Vizio TVs, however they do seem like stellar TVs for my price range and needs. And if there is any more information I can give to help you guys give opinions more tailored to me, by all means ask! I'll continue to look up info myself, But I wanted to come here early because this is the best place in the internet that I've found, for info regarding TVs!
Thanks,

EDIT: I wanted to be more specific then just saying E/M/P series in case that makes a difference, as I'm seeing many things from the beginning of 2014 and want to make sure we are all on the same page haha. I'm looking at the E0i-B and the M2i-B and the P2ui-B TV's. Thank You.
