The Big Picture
The max resolution this TV can display is 1920x1080 pixels. This resolution is also known as 1080p resolution. Resolution is measured in pixels and is basically used to determine the clarity of the display. A lot of pixels means a high resolution. Screen resolution is vital to a great picture for a TV as it does for a smartphone, baby monitor or any other product that uses a display. Though vertical refresh rate, backlight type and panel technology does play a part in picture quality, as well.

Others
The D50-D1 is part of the VIZIO D series of TVs.

Cables In, Cables Out
How and what you connect to your VIZIO television is quite vital to overall quality. This 50 inch VIZIO D50-D1 TV has 3 HDMI ports , 1 component input , 1 composite input , 1 USB ports , 2 audio-out port , 1 RF cable input , 1 ethernet port and WiFi. Four HDMI ports would be better but three is fine too. The old composite style connections are not found on many televisions this day and age due to the reasoning that it is thought to be ancient input technology considering televisions of today. Component inputs are much more common on televisions due to the fact the connections can handle up to 1080p resolutions. Built-in WiFi means you are able to connect wirelessly through your home router to the Internet. This gives you an endless world to explore through your VIZIO TV. Having an Ethernet port gives you a reliable way to get connected to the Internet. Connecting through an Ethernet port is much more reliable and will typically be faster than WiFi. All in all, the hardware of a TV is just as vital as the screen of the television itself. All the video inputs, internet connections, and even the audio in connections will determine what kind of shows you watch as well as the quality. Finding and selecting the right TV is impossible without knowing the specs. It is wise to investigate the TV in its entirety, not just the screen size!

All Smart TVs require software to interact with a user. This VIZIO Smart TV runs V.I.A. Plus as its main system software. This Smart TV offers many apps to install and run including Twitter, Amazon video, Showtime, Hulu, and quite a few more!
