⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars — Vizio Never Misse

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just picked up the 43‑inch Vizio TV, and it continues the streak: this is our third Vizio in the last eight years, and every single one has delivered way above its price point. The picture quality is crisp, the colors look great right out of the box, and the interface is smooth without feeling overloaded. What keeps us coming back is the consistency — Vizio manages to hit that sweet spot of excellent quality at an actually affordable price, without making you feel like you're compromising. Setup was quick, the sound is solid for a built‑in system, and it fits perfectly in our space. If you want a reliable TV that performs like something more expensive, Vizio is the brand that keeps proving itself.

The worst purchase I made!

I can't afford most smart televisions, that's why I purchase this one that was on sale. What a mistake! I've had this product just over a week and Every Day while watching the tv in any one of my apps the tv freezes. When it freezes it takes 10 to 60 seconds, or never refreshes. While enduring the permanent freezing process the power button will not work, leaving me to unplug it for a reboot. During the frequent buffering before it freezes the volume button causes the tv to freeze temporarily and hitting the volume button several times the tv freezes and the volume goes up or down and and freezes again for only one notch of the several times I pressed the volume button, then I have to wait for the volume button to activate once with for the three or more times it was pressed, leaving me to wait for it to complete the action of the volume button complete the action of going up or down and waiting for it to go up or down just once and it freezes refreshes freeze again, go up or down another level just once and I have to wait for the process to complete because I hit the volume button several times. For example, if I hit the volume button several times or more I have to endure the volume to go up or down Just once freeze and go up or down another level freeze, go up or down one level freeze refresh and go up or down another level, if I had hit the bottom 10 times I have to wait for the volume process to complete One level freeze and refresh 10 times. Most days if it it permanently freezes I have to unplug the tv to reboot. The experience of watching a tv is supposed to be relaxing, all these freezing problems causes frustration and annoyance.

Slow, freezes very often

My platform constantly freezes up. Apps don't load and I have to restart it. My internet modem is about 10 feet away so it's not a connection issue. Would not buy again. Just over 3 months old and I want to throw it out. Only great this is the price, but you get what you pay for.

Wow..amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tv was purchased from my in-laws for my daughter as a Christmas gift. Once the tv was set up, it was time to sign into all the streaming services & I was in awe at how quick and easy it was. The best part..you can download an app where you can use your phone as a remote control. My daughter is enjoying it!

Stupid

Why do I have to give so much personal information to start up the TV. If I would have known I would have bought something else. I will not recommend to the hundreds of people that I know. I give you the money for the TV and that's the freaking end of our relationship forever.

Good by for the price but it has it's issues

II needed to replace a broken 12 year old RCA last fall and found the reviews and price just what I was looking for. I don't regret buying it, but it does have issues. I had to replace the remote already. It will lose acces to the installed apps.... have to dig in back doors to connect to them. It resets itself every couple of weeks and I need to log back into some things again.

JUST AMAZING!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't realize how bad my TV speakers were until I got this VIZIO sound bar. The sound is crisp, full, and makes everything more enjoyable to watch. Super easy to set up and looks great too. I absolutely love this product and feel like it was money well spent.

Vizio 40" TV

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had 3 Vizio TVs and all three are slow to load and struggle with the WiFi signal. I have two other brands of TV that don't have the same problems. I am disappointed since I paid more for a Vizio.

Not up to par

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have bought Vizio TVs for about 10 years. This one was a huge disappointment. The remote no longer includes a voice feature. The 40" TV I bought is still 60hz refresh when it really needs 120 for action. There is also an issue with color distortion no matter which setting I have it on...there is a block about 2/3 of the way up the screen which is off sometimes. I initially LOVED Vizio about 10 years ago at this price point but this has gone down. If I have to buy another TV it will NOT be a Vizio. I am so disappointed in a product I raved about to so many people.

Pleasant Surprise

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 20 year old flat screen went dark! I've had other Visio flat screens that worked well so I bought one off the shelf to replace it. I thought it would take a while to get it performing and to get used to the controls but it was up and running in less than 10 minutes. The voice prompts made it an easy process. It was affordable, had a great picture and the programming was easy to tweak to our satisfaction. We're really happy with this Visio! I'd give it 5 stars but I'm sure something could be improved. I don't know what…
