Second Vizio tv that doesn't work properly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased a new Vizio tv for my bedroom since the one we had decided to start glitching and doing things on its own. I set the new tv up Monday evening and immediately noticed the sound quality was not great. Last night we could barely hear the show. In order to hear what is on the screen the volume has to be above 50. Then out of nowhere this tv started doing the same as the older one. When you tap the button to change the channel or the volume. It will speed through the channels or turn the volume all the way up or down. The tv is also very slow when moving through different channels or applications. It is extremely annoying, especially when it is a brand new tv.

Just ok

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this based on reviews. I was pleased with the picture, for me the actual set up was simple. The remote takes some getting used to but again for me it's easy to use. I am VERY disappointed with the sound! It is very difficult to hear, I tried several settings but nothing made it better! The control goes from 1-100 and just to hear a typical conversation of the character's in a show at night when it's quiet in my house, I had it at 70! I'm guessing that is why the soundbar is spoken about a lot in connection with this TV. The TV it replaced I only needed it at a 17 on the sound out of 100!

A real bargain

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this Vizio 40" tv for our exercise room never expecting a quality unit. We were pleasantly surprised to learn it is a quality tv with superb picture quality and clear audio. My first Vizio; but not my last!

Awful Tv

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this TV on Saturday October 4th 2025 the quality of the picture is awful, it was tedious to set the TV up and when I was watching a movie it would snap out of the movie and go back to the home screen so today October 6th 2025 I'm taking his TV back and buying a different brand of a television.

Good TV, cheap price, stupidest setup ever

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just wanted a TV with an HDMI input. I did not want to download another app, sign up for more accounts, or have my TV usage monitored. In the end, I just wanted to plug in my device and use what I had already set up. I know being tracked and having my data sold is part of the price of buying a cheap TV, but there seems to be no option other than to do the most basic sign-up using fake information so they won't track you.

Can't Use Xfinity Stream

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple of weeks ago because I needed a smart TV to stream using Xfinity Stream since Xfinity is my internet provider. Well, you cannot do that on this smart TV. I wish I knew that before I bought it.

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 .

Great picture, Streaming apps are buggy

The picture quality is excellent. Set-up was easy and straight forward. However, when using applications like Hulu, and Paramount +, ESPN, etc..the video stream is choppy, almost to the point of stop motion. The only remedies I could find in support are soft resets (uplugging for 10 minutes) or accomplishing a factory reset. The factory is a pain, because I had to input my log-in information in again. These still did not solve the problem. Most other TVs you can uninstall the apps and reinstall them and this will, more often than not, resolve these types of issues. However, with Vizio this is not an option. You can only remove certain applications. So, In order to make this TV watchable, I have to use a Roku player. There is no issues with stream quality with the Roku player, so the issue is with this TV. It's a relatively inexpensive solution, but why should I have to purchase a Roku player to be able to watch my brand new smart TV. Bad product Vizio.

wow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought a few weeks ago, my old one was 13 years old and a vizio. It still works I just needed the smart part of the new one. The picture is amazing, so much better than the old one. Was easy to set up, and I was worried cause I read some reviews that said it was hard and long. I am 67yr so sometimes the new technology is a challenge.
