Very poor

Very slow and difficult time to turn the tv on, tv had to be registered before I found out the tv wouldn’t work with the antenna port. The location of this tv only has spectrum as a tv service. I replaced a Vizio with another Vizio thinking it was the tv. I plugged in an old used Samsung and the tv immediately worked, I returned the tv and will not buy another Vizio product. By the way when registering the tv there was a QR code or app option to register the tv. Ya that QR code doesn’t work. Had to spend over another 30 minutes to find a it how and where to registration the tv . This should be an option- because the location of this tv has a very poor WiFi signal, which added to the frustrations. Personally think registering should be an option.

Beautiful Picture!

I never buy anything BUT Vizio because they have always been a solid product. The picture is excellent and when Sharpness is turned up, it looks as good as UHD. I left one star off for the speed of the processor. Slower than my internet but excellent for the price!

Better than the fire TV I had

Overall, it's a beautiful picture, I love the sound, for the most part it's pretty user friendly. One of the main issues I think that I have with it is on the home screen there are advertisements for different shows or movies and I cannot find a way to have sound with those advertisements. The sound works great on the TV if I'm actually watching a show however on the home screen there's no sound at all. I have been through all of the settings and I don't know why it does that

Beautiful picture, and selections

Quite easy to set up. I am 83 years young and I did full set up from opening the box to sitting down and watching. Even watching streamed channels. Service from help desk was the best. Very helpful and easy to contact. I have purchased Vizio for 3 times.

Sound glitch

I have a soundbar hooked up to my Vizio TV at any time I use YouTube or Pluto TV you hear a weird glitching sound coming up the sound bar but when I revert it back to TV sound I don't hear it no more so it doesn't work with my soundbar but when I play video games it doesn't do this

Worst VIZIO TV I have ever owned out of 5 total TV

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just doesnt work right. Cant use all ootiins likr skip channels. Slow streaming with spinning circle and my wifi is 300 bps and older TV works better on streaming so its not my wifi. Have to restart often when it gets "frozen".

NAS access is not easy

I bought 4 of these for our house (kids rooms) fairly easy to set up but since we stream most everything and have a personal NAS when internet is sketchy access is not working. I havent been able to find an "app store" to see other options. The kids love the picture. sound quality is decent . remote doesn't have mic for voice to text search

2 things Need Fixing

Redesign the way the feet are added. The well where the screws go in is deeper than the length of the provided screws, and you can't use your fingers to straighten them so they drop through the holes. It would help a lot if each hole had a funnel to direct the screws when you drop them in. As it is, it's a nightmare for older folks like me just to screw the feet on. Also, I can see that the intent of the setup screen when you first turn it on is to make setup a snap for the user. Despite automatically updating itself, I was still trapped on the page where it makes you choose to scan a QR code or visit a website to enter a setup code. I do not own a fancy app-running mobile phone, so option 1 is out. Option 2 gives you a URL that takes you to a black page where the user cannot enter anything. The support chatbot doesn't have an answer, but thankfully it connected me to a person, who had to lead me through a series of clicks on the website so that I could finally get to the page where I could enter my code. But by this time I had to turn the TV off and on in order to get a new code. It's a huge and unnecessary hassle. Please fix this so that future customers aren't forced to go through it. I have no other complaints. The picture and sound are beautiful, and it is appreciated that the TV can offer so many other entertainment choices besides the OTA channels. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the two frustrations, both of which are easy to fix.

Vizio Only

We gave ourselves a Vizio 55" Smartcast for Christmas to replace the 55" Sanyo flatpanel, which required FireTV Stick or Cube for streaming. It's so nice to turn it and have it get right to work. Love the Bluetooth feature. The 4K is awesome. And everything flows out from our Vizio Soundbar perfectly.

Tv requires usage data to be shared.

I've enjoyed Vizio TVs over the years as it's always been a better quality choice next to brands like Onn, TCL, Hisense... the TV looks great, the LCD looks rich and the brightness is uniform. However... I use a firestick and have no interest in Vizios Smart-hub. Buyer BEWARE, this TV cannot be used if you decline Vizio's data sharing agreements to enable as it WILL TURN ITSELF ON constantly after you power it off and present you with the terms and agreements page. I didn't want yet another IoT device on my network flooding DNS requests all the time. I was forced to enable this in order to use a TV im the way it was originally designed for. Bad design. That is all.
