As per my research: According to Vizio site (http://www.vizio.com/e-series), E series LED is Direct LED(contains LED(s) throughout the screen), and according to Vizio page (http://www.vizio.com/m-series/features) M Series Razor LED is Edge Lit (contains LED's at the edges of the screen).Since this is E series this TV would be Direct LED.

Hey Amit, I have had the TV for 4 months, and have almost exclusively played my xbox 360 on it. If there are any burn in issues, I dont see them! I think a little common sense with regards to setting the TV to dim after inactivity, or even shut off (mine does automatically after fifteen minutes of inactivity). Anyway, Ive had no problems! Games look beautiful on this TV, by the way.

If you're looking at the system there is a flat area that runs along the back top portion of the system ... It appears like a smooth black space that runs from one side to the other ... After turning it on touch the right side near the edge with your finger and it should light up... Keep hitting it until you find the "channel" you are looking for.. I thought one day my xbox wouldn't play through if and It was because I didn't toggle to HDMI from AV... If that's too weird and confusing let me know

This TV has different "Scene" settings which it selects based on the input type. You can also change them by the remote control. I find all of them to look dark and have a color cast except for the "standard" one.

Maybe try re-installing? Also note, this is a projection TV....not best visibility in direct sunlight. Mine is often dark in my bright living room during daytime hours.

The manual at the TV's site may help - download at bottom of pagehttp://www.axessusa.com/led-television-with-dvd-combo/tvd1801-15-15.6-high-definition-led-tv-with-dvd-player.html

A lil higher than middle of the back of the tv ..and not too close to the top ..you'll want to ensure you see just the reflection and glow of the light around the tv..and not any of the led's

Yes, I did! On the short side, where the power plug goes in, there is a half-moon shaped hole with nothing in it. My tv screen is rolling and I think the dip switches are supposed to be in the hole, so I could switch to NTSC. Do you have the rolling screen problem too?

It is not back-lit. The remote is programmable, not sure if it is learnable. You can find the users guides online.

This is not a TV, it's a light which is projected on a screen. It does look great when lit and you can dim the intensity of the light. The heater outlet is on the underside center bottom. Will warm a 12 x 15' room within minutes.

i have the 46". Sales info says its LED but the manual says it's an LCD. i think it's a generic manual.The box says it's an LED and 240 refresh rate. We've had it 2 months now and we love it.

I think both the 7000 and 8000 are side lit. You may be thinking of the 8500 as that is back lit. We have the 7000 and really like it. The only thing I have noticed since I bought it is the screen is not glass like Samsung 550/650 plasma models. We have ours on a stand and my little todler has climbed up and marked up the screen. It has not affected the picture, but there are some marks on the screen that would not be on a glass screen tv.

It's bright but not extremely bright. At night I had it across the room and pointed it toward the window but with a light on in the room, you could not see the fake TV. It's no different than having your TV on during the day. You probably couldn't see a real TV flickering light against your blinds or curtains either. If you position it too close to the window, then it's obvious it's a small light source pointed at the window. I think it's excellent on a second story with the blinds slightly open. With blinds, you need the room dark. During the day, you'll need the blinds open (but fake TV can't be visible) or sheer blinds. It's bright but not extremely bright.

I gave the unit as a gift, but I believe was backlit, I did try it out before I gave it away. The person I gave it too loves it by the way.

Yes my tv's corners are bright. This tv is not worth the money. It also is not 120hz.

I don't know if this description will help, but I would term the screen either a Light Matte or Semi-Gloss finish. When the TV is off and you're starring at a blank screen, if you're in a well lit room, you will see your faint reflection but it's a very soft reflection (no real detail). If you've ever sat at a desktop computer like a new iMac when the screen is blank you can see your reflection quite clearly (like on a lot of plasma TVs). The LN5600 screen is nothing like that. The room our TV is in has two large windows that run along the side of the wall about four feet away from the screen. When all the lights are on, or the window blinds are open they have no real impact on the visibility of the image on the screen. Now if the windows were directly behind me as I was watching the screen, you could have an issue without a doubt. My current problem is that I have a six foot tall lamp that sits off to the side of our sofa that faces the TV. In the evening when we're watching something, if what's playing is dark (like a night scene, or outer space) you can see the soft reflection of the light in the upper corner of the screen. This could be easily fixed by just moving the position of the lamp (or if the TV was mounted on a wall) just angling the tilt of the screen more steeply. My advice would be, as long as you don't have any light sources (aka, lamps, windows, etc.) that fall directly within a visual triangle that spreads from your screen out to where you'll be viewing you should be perfectly fine. Windows and lamp light that run along the peripheral of this imaginary triangle shouldn't cause you any real noticeable issues. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me again. Best of luck!
