Vizio released an upgraded model of its D32F-E1 D-Series TV early in 2017. As a result, it is commonly known as the 2017 model D32F-E1. As part of the D-series, it is designed to offer viewers the best possible mix of performance and affordability.
The D-series has proved a hit with consumers thanks to the enormous choice offered throughout the range. Most TV series only include 4 or 5 different model options but the Vizio D-series consists of 13 different models that offer display sizes starting from 24-inch, all the way up to a massive 65-inch model. There is also quite a wide variation in each model’s specs and features. Some of the D-series TV’s have higher display resolution than others, while some are crammed with smart functions where others aren’t etc.
Get the best of Vizio’s D-series with the D32F-E1
The Vizio D32F-E1 is just about all you could ask from a TV within its price range. It offers a really great picture quality and viewing experience. Its 32” display is sizable enough that it is big enough for most small to medium-sized rooms. The TV comes in a really sleek design and is packed full of smart features that will help you get the most from your viewing experience.
Picture Quality
The D32f-E1 features an FHD 1080p 60Hz LED display. It is a fully HDTV display that offers a brilliant picture which is unbeatable for its price bracket. Its 1080p display has more than 2 million pixels that help it to create a crystal clear image. It is also a full-array LED display, which means that it offers full LED coverage over the entire area of the screen, enabling it to create a uniformed well-lit high-quality image.
Thought not 4k resolution, buyers should keep in mind that with a TV of this display size, it is not essential to have the highest resolution as the size is small enough that it simply is not all that noticeable. 1080p/Full HD is therefore ample to give a really top-notch viewing experience for all TVs of this size.
The display has a low level of lag making it an excellent option for those people who love watching fast-paced action movies or those people who want to play games. Another great feature is that the TV’s preset color and contrast ratios are perfectly set on the standard setting.
Many of the latest TVs require quite a bit of playing with to get right as their standard settings are frequently not all that great. The D32f-E1 is literally ready to go straight out of the box, something which is a godsend for all those people who hate having to play around with their TV’s settings.
One area where the Vizio D32f-E1 really stands out from the competition is with its black level and general contrast performance. It has a pretty powerful contrast range and is able to produce some really strong blacks. Not only does this make for great viewing in normal background light environments but also means it is able to handle brightly backlit rooms too.
Sound Quality
Though most people these days tend to supplement their TV’s internal speakers with additional external ones, sound performance is still a very important consideration when buying a new TV. The D32f-E1 is able to deliver a very good level of sound performance for its class.
VIZO’s two built-in speakers are able to create a reasonably good virtual surround sound experience. The sound is very crisp, though it does start to distort at higher volumes. Generally speaking, the two in-built speakers offer a really decent sound quality for a TV of this price bracket.
Design
Vizio has always made really good-looking TVs and the D32f-E1 is really no exception. The display comes most of the way to the edge of the TV so limits the visibility of the borders. The stand has four thin feet rather than being a large one-piece deal, so is more sleek and reduces noticeability.
Measuring 28.7″ wide, and with an ultra-thin thickness of just 2.91″, the D32f-E1 will fit nicely onto all but the smallest TV stands. For those people who would rather hang their TV on the wall, the great news is that the D32f-E1 is designed to be wall mountable too.
Smart Functions
The D32f-E1 is one of the best Smart TVs in the D-series range. It has been designed to try to make the control experience as smooth and easy as possible. The remote control and menus are easy to operate and well laid out.
VIZIO Internet Apps Plus gives you access to a range of popular online apps that include Netflix, YouTube, XUMO, Facebook, Twitter, and Pandora, along with many others. This feature is easy to use and makes downloading apps and streaming content easier than ever. Inbuilt WIFI connectivity comes with every D-series TV, making the whole connection process much easier.
Another advantage of this WIFI connectivity is that users are able to easily connect additional portable speakers to help improve the on the TV’s two inbuilt speakers. Provided they are compatible with this model TV, users can set them up via the TV’s easy to use menu system in only a matter of seconds.
Inputs
Making sure that your TV has all the inputs that you need is one of the most important things you will do when buying a new TV. HDMI and USB ports are essential for connecting up your DVD players, games consoles and other such devices to the TV.
The Vizio D32F-E1 has all the main connection inputs that you will need.
- 2 – HDMI inputs
- 1 – Component/Composite Video
- 1 – Ethernet

Warranty

Its clear 1080p resolution creates crystal clear pictures that will be more than enough for the average viewer. The sound quality is excellent, and with the option of adding additional speakers is certainly enough most people.
