I purchased this tv a few months ago and have held off writing a review just to give it a fair chance. I honestly hate this TV. It's slow, it glitches, it won't open apps (spectrum, Netflix, Hulu, etc) sometimes. Sometimes it takes up to 10 minutes just to open the apps. Sometimes it won't open them at all. The remote lags horribly. If you are watching tv and want to turn the volume up, it takes about 5 seconds to catch up to what you're doing. If you want to pause the tv, it takes about 10-15 seconds to actually pause. I wish I could give it a good review because once you finally have a show/movie on, the quality is good! If I still had the box, the tv would've been returned a long time ago.

not a recommended purchase...

Too many help requests online about updates Vizio has released concerning FORCED options users DO NOT want; such as 'watch free' and FORCED 'smart tv' mode. Many complaints from users concerning Vizio's opinion on this update... originally purchased because of it's OTA capabilities; was mistaken...

Not Sam's Fault

I gave the TV as a gift and when it was opened, the top corner of the TV was shattered! I didn't notice that the box was dented. I've been traveling for work extensively and need to make time to take it back to the store. I was so embarrassed at the party. :-(

slow response to buttons. when using the youtube app, when adds come on and it says you can skip the add, the center button on the controller just pauses the add. it wont let me skip it. when the tv is plugged in, it automatically comes on. so last night the power flickered. when we got up the tv was on and playing music on a screen saver. so for example if you are gone on vacation for a week, and while you are gone the power goes out and comes back on, the tv will come on. i dont know if it will time out and shut itself off or not.

So far I'm not impressed. I'm considering returning it. For some reason I couldn't sink it with my Walmart account. Most movies are not full scream. The remote has a serious delay. I've never had this many problems using a tv. My TLC was much better. Won't go Vizio again.

Nice TV but no user manual included in box.

Had this delivered to my sister for her apartment. A neighbor helped set it up. She doesn't have cable but gets many free channels through the building. But every time she turns on the tv, she has to maneuver thru prompts and then wait for free channels to load. And when the tv is finally running, you cannot hit a channel like say channel 5, can't just hit the number, it does nothing. Instead whatever channel it's on, you have to hit the up or down button and keep scrolling till you get to the channel. That can take forever. This is a new Smart TV. There's got to be a quicker way BUT, it came with no user manual! Can someone from Walmart contact me via email or from information from the order to see what's what with this tv. I did order the three year warranty on it but something can't be wrong this early on! Help. Thanks.

This Vizio Tv doesn't act like a smart tv. Too many glitches, and you always have to reset the tv by turning it on/off or unplugging it. Problems with bluetooth headsets. It took me more than 30 minutes to get it connected. Even at $100 its not worth it. Your apps drop while watching the movie. Pay more for a real smart tv or listen to the radio.

This TV is a pain to install a get working with XFinity cable. menus are not logical. Something as simple as getting the TV to start on the last input is nearly impossible! Thinking seriously about returning it. But I am in a wheelchair and have to pay to change it out.

Great TV but odd setup

The TV is great, works fine, just the right size for my bedroom, lots of free channels to watch and streaming channels already added (netflix etc). It maybe a petty complaint and reason to not give five stars, but I was a bit aggravated when getting the TV set up, that you either have to connect your current Walmart account or sign up for a Walmart account to complete TV setup. Take that as you will, but Walmart already seems to know everything about me, and now my tv is also linked. hmmmm
