Go with something else

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this tv and you gotta download an app just to turn on the tv and they want half your life information and access to take most of your privacy away. It's gotten outta hand. Never will I buy a Vizio again.

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.

Great, with one exception.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my Vizio about 2 weeks ago and I am very pleased with all the great TV shows. Movies and more that I get for Free. I like being able to control and even schedule my TV watching experience with my phone. There seems to be so much more I can do with the Vizio app, I am still exploring and learning. One of the selling points I live is the Bluetooth capability. I am hard of hearing so I generally have the TV so loud it disturbs my family - in other rooms. With Bluetooth o am able to connect my headphones, and possibly my hearing aids to the TV and listen in private, hearing every word and possibly better sound quality. The family appreciates it as well. The only complaint I might have, and it's certainly no deal breaker, when I turn on my TV, it automatically goes to the Vizio access instead of my Satellite TV Access. Requiring I have both my Vizio remote and my Satellite remote available so on the Vizio remote can be used to select Satellite, and then it takes me to my regular Satellite programs and I use my Satellite remote. Not a deal breaker, just a bit of inconvenience. Outside of that, a great purchase. The picture quality is superb, and the entertainment access seems endless, and most is Free. U would highly recommend the Vizio TV to anyone. Go out and get you one. You won't regret it.

Picture fine. Smart features poor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought 2 days ago. Navigation in apps very slow. Sometimes freezes in app (ex Hulu) requiring exit and restart, only to freeze again. Not a big issue for me, as I was using Roku on a smaller, dumb TV, so just moved it to this one and works fine.

You get what you pay for!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the 3rd Vizio TV I've purchased, and each one has been a little worse than the previous. This one is slow to respond to the remote, and it doesn't bring up the channel I select; I have to use the +channel button to get to the right place after numerically entering the channel I really want.

Excellent Product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this product to have as a TV in my bedroom. It's the perfect size, the set-up was super simple, the screen is so clear and it makes even older movies look great. I'm very, very pleased with my purchase.

TV is great except for the stands

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always bought vizio -- very happy. But COME ON, the little stands are a PITA, and you have to have just the right size screwdriver (#10). This is archaic. Surely if IKEA can develop easy put together, snap in, stands, Vizio can?

Good enough for the price

Purchased this on a Monday. The quality of the picture was great but I noticed there's a lag with the remote even though the batteries are new and the wifi connection is strong. The tiles on the home screen also seem to go out and force me to unplug/plug the television often. Minor issues that shouldn't happen within the first three days of purchase.

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.

Excellent picture, complicated navigation

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Needed a tv this particular size. I wanted a roku operating system. Its easier to set up and navigate. But the store didnt have one in the size i needed. This vizio has an excellent picture. But set up, navigation and the app interface are more difficult to work with
