While the TV's 3D effect isn't very well-implemented here, at least you get four pairs of glasses in the box, so watching an occasional 3D movie as a family doesn't require any additional outlay or effort on your part.

Overall Vizio's glasses are fine, especially for the price, and you can always buy other passive glasses for cheap if you don't like the fit.

Colors are excellent and vibrant and the 250 Hz on a screen this size works effortlessly to give very fluid looking movements.

The size of the screen really improves the experience.

I thought it was suppose to help but my old Sony had less of this "judder" look and it was 120-Hz and looked better (and I don't think this opinion has anything to do with the size of the screen).

Missing are a color management system, gamma presets, and more-involved grayscale controls, so the M3D0KD isn't as friendly to tweakers as sets from LG and Samsung, for example.

No, the series doesn't quite match the price-to-picture ratio of some of our favorite plasmas this year, but at least it comes in a screen size smaller than 50 inches.

Sound is very good and does not require additional speakers, although you can add them.
Rated 100% by by Gene-Schwartz (Feb, 2013)
The size is just right, and the 240 Hz refresh rate is perfect IMO.

I'm only using composite, perhaps the optical output works differently?

& viewing the contendors, the choice became clear - Vizio's M3D470KD with local dimming was the surprise (to me) winner.

The Vizio M3D470KD is a great entry level passive 3D LED/LCD set that performs above expectations.

picture quality

I replaced a six year old Sharp Aquos with the M3D470KD and am absolutely convinced the HDTV technology advanced in the last few years.
Vizio M3D Series 46" | Rated 80% by by Sherry-Souva (Nov, 2012)
Very good picture quality and an extremely aggressive price make the Vizio M3D0KD one of the best LED TV values on the market.
