Vizio sent the M50-D1 Home Theater Display so that I can review it. Note that it's a home theater display and not a TV because it does not have a TV tuner. Not a negative for those who will connect a cable box, a gaming console or BluRay/DVD player anyway. If you need a TV tuner, you'll need to get one separately. I loved that it has an Android tablet as a remote aside from the regular remote. You can also use your phone as a remote; just download the VIZIO app. Setup is easy. It turned on as soon as we plugged it in. Then it asked for the tablet remote to be paired, after which it started downloading updates for the display. After the update was done, we just had to choose the source, and we were ready to start watching. Picture quality is good and isn't grainy. I think it handles scaling pretty well. Quality is still good when playing regular DVDs and BluRays.

The VIZIO M50-D1 SmartCast Home Theater Display definitely gives you good value for your money. You get a big screen with good picture quality, a regular remote, a tablet remote, and Chromecast built in. And that's all for a pretty affordable price of $849.99. Some retailers offer it for a lower price depending on current promotions.
