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

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.

Crisp color and easy to set up

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this Vizio on Jan. 15th and its colors are so crisp and was easy to set up. I like the small tv remote which is easy to use. The volume feature needs to be worked on . I have to turn it up to 30 to hear it (sound ) enough. But all in all thus is a wonderful tv !

Great features at a bargain price

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this 43 inch screen. The picture just jumps right out at you. The Black Friday sale price was what made me purchase it now. I was looking at it for a month and decided this Vizio was for me. I'm totally HAPPY.

Amazing tv

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely amazing I corps not be happier with all of the extra functions bells and whistles!! The picture quality us top notch, the sound us high quality and loud and it was affordable… easily. One of the best buys in a long time could've gotten a little bit bigger one but decided to get the smaller one with all the extras, and it was definitely worth it.

5 out of 5 stars review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The delivery was fantastic and the picture quality on this Vizio TV is beautiful. The only issue I've run into is getting to the apps. When I press the button on the remote to move to the side, the TV freezes and won't let me scroll over to the app I want. I'm not sure if it's the remote or the TV itself. Other than that, everything has been great so far.

Astonishing Hi-Def images !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought three different hi-def TV brands this month to replace my two year old Samsung. There was nothing wrong with it, I just wanted a bigger screen. Ultimately, I sent two of them back. ( a 43" Samsung and a 40" Sanyo) I kept the 40" VIZIO with the most fantastic video I have ever seen, and I've been in the TV business for over 50 years!

An amazing upgrade

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was concerned to get a bigger TV onto a mount, but it fits perfect. It's such a smaller frame on the new TV that I have a little bit more room. Picking any of the apps to watch new shows is great.

first time owning a vizio

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] first time owning a vizio tv. our Samsung tv recently died and had to get a tv, so went with a vizio 55" for the bedroom. we dont have cable, and just use antenna and the firestick, but what is nice is that you get the Watchfree that comes with the tv, so that can give you even more channels to watch, and there are a lot of shows on there. nice feature for free. you just need internet and go through the setup process that takes just a few minutes to complete .

Cool features but keeps freezing

I got this tv 2 days ago and it's already acting up. It freezes every 5 seconds and the remote doesn't work so I'm forced to unplug the tv every time it happens. And idk if it's because it's brand new but the tv is very slow sometimes and it takes forever to load an app. I already checked and made sure it's not my WiFi so idk what else could be making it move so slow. Also the sound quality could be a lot better considering it's a smart tv
