“47
LCD
Rated 100% by by ja64 (Jan, 2011)The Visio picture is much better than the picture on my 32 inch Panasonic HDTV despite the larger screen size.
40”
LED-backlit
Rated 80% by by Gigi-M.I have to wonder, though, what Sony has in mind for the future with four USB ports.
size
47"
40"
M Series by JMM (Sep, 2011)The 22" screen is the perfect size (I am about 3 feet away from the screen).
NSX Series by johnnycab (Mar, 2011)But if you're upgrading to a new screen and are happy with the 40" (or 46") screen size this unit is a good way to go.
thickness
M Series by dc10fun (Sep, 2011)I bought a vizio soundbar for my friend too because the sound isnt great on amy of these thin sets.
Performance Real world tests of Vizio M Series vs Sony NSX Series
power consumption
M Series by Raymond-Pacheco (May, 2011)I picked this model because it has 10W (total) speakers, low power consumption, headphone output, has all the connections you might need and it's not internet ready - (I prefer to use a separate Roku box).
NSX Series by c|net (Nov, 2010)Power consumption: We did not test the power consumption of this size in the Sony NSX-GT1 series, but we did test the 46-inch model.
