I have the 2013 E series in 60". It's the one that CNET gave such a good review on. I used to have a 46" Samsung LED/LCD. Honestly the Vizio picture is just as good as the previous Samsung. I have had some niggling firmware issues with the Vizio though, most of which have been ironed out with firmware updates. The one thing that still remains is that Game mode sometimes doesn't activate when I turn on the TV, even though the setting says Game Mode = On. If I just go to Game Mode and click On (even though it already says it's on), it will turn it on. Most of the time Game Mode DOES turn on when I turn on the TV, but sometimes not. It's gotten to the point where every time I turn on the TV I just go turn Game Mode On just to be sure. The difference in input lag is extremely noticeable. I think it's around 30 ms with game mode on. Not the best, but tolerable for me.
