Everything You Need in One Package

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This set-up provides a greater variety of diverse interest channels than you can imagine. Programming was intuitive and surprisingly easy. The price was very affordable. All in all, an excellent choice!

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.

Use to watch, not to actually use.

I'm not a fan of this TV, but as my parents told me; you get what you pay for. This is the newest TV in the house, so you would think it would be the best, right? Wrong. If I could return this TV, I would. The clarity isn't an issue, it's the features, or lack of, that I do not like. I purchased this TV to replace my older 42" Vizio because the old TV is app-less, cannot connect to the Wi-Fi, and screen sharing also didn't exist at the time. So with the older TV still working, why not just get a new replacement from the same company, right? Wrong. I have this TV set up in my work office, for days when I can work remote from home. 1) Spotify, YouTube, Crunchyroll, and other apps. - These apps are either unreliable or unavailable. There is no app for Spotify or Crunchyroll despite having an "app store". My guess, is whoever has more money than needed to buy their app into Vizio. So I am forced to connect to the TV through the app on my phone. While streaming music from my phone to the TV, it never auto-plays, despite having that feature ON on Spotify. So after every single song, I have to operate my phone and select the next track. I do not have that problem with my TCL from 3 years ago, my Roku from 4 years ago, or my Sony from 10 years ago. After about 1-2 hours of playing music, it automatically closes Spotify and goes back to the Home Screen, despite me clicking skip songs or repeat the previous, aka it's not "sleeping". -The Youtube app is lackluster. - No Crunchyroll app despite having an "app store". 2) Google Chromecast, Air-Play, and Crunchyroll streaming. - The company must have signed a deal with Apple. There is a dedicated Air-Play mode, but no Google Chromecast. So my tablet and phone (Fold 7) have difficulty with the TV. Despite having stable internet speeds of 700 MBs, it still loses connection, appears laggy, and pixelated on some screen sharing. - Cannot comment on Air-Play as I don't own any Apple products. My guess, it's the best thing about the TV. 3) Visually, the TV isnt bad. Colors are okay. 4) Audibly, the sound is decent. Somewhat liking the surround sound option. 5) No issues with major streaming services like Disney or Paramount. For the price, if you just want a viewing screen, this is a solid choice. If you want more features, definitely go with a different brand.

Too Many Ads, Confusing

This TV was purchased for my 80 year old father who does not do well with new technology. He had to download an app just to get to the home screen. I had to help him with this. The home screen is also very confusing for him. The apps he uses are at the bottom of the screen. The rest of the screen is filled with ads. I will never buy another Vizio TV.

I'm impressed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My cable company shot themselves in the foot. My old 25 year old TV always worked great.. all if a sudden out of the blue my tv wouldn't channels and the cable company said I needed a 4g tv, so I bought a Visio… Now I'm finding out I don't need cable! It's going to save me a lot. Plus the picture is way better than my old TV

Why do I need an account for my TV?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the tv, but I was required to create an account, which is not what I wanted to do. That just seems like one more place where my private information can get exposed or hacked. I would probably not buy another TV that requires me to create an account.

A perfectly adequate secondary television

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just bought this tv for our basement game room for the teens of the family to have a place to retreat during family Christmas gathering. The TV is perfectly fine for that use, but just in the couple of days it's been in use, the UI has proven to be slow and a bit glitchy. I have had to do a full power cycle a couple of times to get it to function as desired following hangs on load screens and settings menu. For the price, this is a perfectly functional tv, but it is clearly not powerful enough to handle the Vizio UI well and consistently. Sound is adequate, and the ports are plentiful.
