You Get What You Pay For

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is nothing exceptional about this television…not the picture it sounds quality. This tv is extremely glitchy. Since my purchase one week ago, there have been numerous instances of no responsiveness with delays in powering on, powering off, transitioning to other apps, and volume control. I've changed batteries and done a factory reset to see if things would change, but they have not. I'm very disappointed. Heck, the hyperlink in the email requesting a review didn't even work.

This TV Changed My Household Dynamic

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 43” Vizio expecting a TV. What I got was a full-blown experience. The picture is so crisp it makes real life look slightly blurry. The sound? Loud enough to make me feel like I'm in the movie, but respectful enough not to scare the dog. Setup was fast, simple, and didn't require a tech degree or a prayer. This TV has already survived binge-watching, late-night YouTube spirals, and full-volume Sunday movies without a single hiccup. If this TV were a person, it would be reliable, attractive, and mind its business. I don't write reviews, but this one earned it.

Limited functionality for a smart TV

I have several smart TVs; various brands. I bought my first Vizio TV the other day. All of my other TVs allow me to use my DirecTv remote to turn on the TV and to set the appropriate input - so I only have to use one remote. The Vizio TV only allows the DirecTv remote to turn the TV on or off. However, it navigates you to the smart TV menu where you then have to manually select the input to use. This is a serious shortcoming of Vizio. Further, you can't program the Vizio remote to operate the DirecTv (which other smart TVs allow). The only work around is to buy a smart remote (now a third remote in this ecosystem) to achieve my simple goal of using one remote to control the TV and my DirecTv box. Very disappointing

32' Smart TV

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was given to me as a Christmas gift, and I could NOT be happier. There are so many great things to choose to watch. I have seen YouTube in a format I had no idea was possible. VIZIO has really hit the mark on this one.

Controlled by an APP!

Not happy that my TV is controlled by a mobile app. Remote control is ridiculously small and hard to manipulate with arthritic fingers! Can't find a way to load my Dish program so I can watch all my channels, not 10 year old programs. Lousy selection of programs available.

Good tv so far.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this tv only about three days ago, so I've only used it a couple times so far. I bought it for the bedroom. It was easy to mount on my tv stand, includes all the streaming apps I use, and even an app option to stream other shows and movies. I've been liking it so far.

Easy to set up, my main concern.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Only had it working for a day and my 1st. one but so far very impressed with it! I am a U tuber and it came with it so happy about that. I wish it had the same format as my computer but oh well, there is going to be a learning curve anyway. It was a great price for the value you get. The pic. is crystal clear and sharp. The only drawback is the sound quality , maybe a sound bar would solve that .

I bought this TV about 6-9 months ago. It was great at first but the last 1-2 months, it would buffer constantly but now it says "Channel not available" for 5-15 seconds and then it will come back on.It is usually when I am watching Watchfree+. Earlier this week, I reset to factory, hoping that it would help, but there is no difference.

The TV is Great but setting it up was Difficult

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Once set up, the TV is great. It is easy to use and has tremendous features. While I have no interest in thousands of programs/movies, it is nice to have apps like Netflix, YouTube etc. readily available. The set up difficulty was partially my fault because I did not see the HMDI ports on the back. Having said that, the set up instructions from VIZIO were not helpful in that they only mentioned connecting an antenna or a cable, neither of which worked to enable our cable box to work. The instructions made no mention of attaching the HMDI cable. From what I could tell from the instructions the onloyt thing to connect from the cable box was the antenna. Wrong! I finally turned to CoPilot AI which clearly explained that the HMDI cable needed to be connected, and then made me take a second look for HMDI ports on the TV. Having finally found them and attaching the HMDI cable, the TV worked perfectly. Igt only took me a whole afternoon to figure this out. Bottom Line: I wish VIZIO had provided clear concise installation instructions.
