I'd do a bit of research using the tvs model number. Check out reviews, etc.

If you're into gaming you'll want low input lag. So out of the two you'd want to check here. If the Vizio TV you're interested in is the E601i-A3 then the input lag is very low for a large HDTV at 31ms. You probably don't want something above 50ms and the lower you can get the better.

TVs aren't just input lag and such though. Read reviews from places like HDTV Test and CNET to see what they say about them there.

Here's a review on the Vizio that I'm assuming is the one in your post.

This is true.

 

I bought the M3 model, the step up unit that has 3D.  Looks great though.
