So, I finally retired my 6 year old 73" DLP TV and stepped down in size a hair with the Vizio E70-e3 (on sale at Sam's for just under $1K).
Since I only paid $1100 for the DLP and I have always successively spent less and went up in size on each "big screen" TV I've bought over the last 25 or so years, I figured a $1K 70" TV sounded just about right.
The picture on the E70 is outstanding to me! I know there is better out there, but the picture on the Vizio beats my old Mitsubishi hands-down. FYI, I am only judging the 1080p performance here as I don't have any 4K sources as of yet.
But...and it's a BIG but...the clouding/flashlighting on the Vizio is absolutely unacceptable.
I can't believe that this level of imperfection is considered "normal" or "acceptable" with a TV costing $1K (and on some TVs that cost much, much more!). What the hell is wrong with this industry when they can't even make a black screen BLACK....I mean, c'mon!
So...is it true that only OLED is free from these issues and can produce a truly black, uniform screen?? I guess it's that or an old, used plasma.....
When will the OLEDs come down enough in price for me to afford a +70" version? 2 years? 3? More??
Thanks for reading my rant! Just needed to vent.
