Great tv & price.

This tv was a birthday gift from my daughters. I love this Vizio . the picture, sound & color are excellent. Perfect size for my duplex. Has many options as it a smart tv. Still learning all the options for viewing but enjoy the extra options, especially the free movies.

An absolute steal of a deal

I brought this a week ago and have had nothing but positive things to say it’s was all super affordable coming in at an absolute steal for how good the quality is with great HD and multiple screen options, and the easiest set up ever just a couple screws and a few sign in buttons and enjoy.

Good product with a catch

Vizio TV's are great. I have bought two many years ago and they are still pretty good. So, when it was time to get another TV, I knew it had to be a Vizio. However, things have changed since the purchase of my previous Vizio TV. The picture and sound are still top quality, but there is now gatekeeping practices. TV's have changed to be more than just something you can plug a game console into so that you can play your favorite games, or hook up a DVD player or TV service to watch the movies and shows you like. Which means Vizio had made a change to follow the evolution of what a TV is. This change means that you can't just buy a TV now just to use it as a TV right out of the box. I know that TV's bought today are capable of streaming content from the internet and do not need any external devices to do so. A good step in the right direction. However, the execution falls flat for me. I was annoyed and then disappointed. Annoyed because the TV requires access to the internet to even begin setup. Which would not have been so bad, but the TV requires an account to be set up to continue. So, you have to go out of your way to download an app or go to a website to complete this step for a reason that is arbitrary at best. I bought my TV to be used for my PS5 and I had to go through all of these steps that should have been optional. If the internet access and Vizio account were optional, I would not have minded at all But gaming is not the only thing I was going to use the TV for. I use streaming services too. I thought that maybe I didn't need to set up my Chromecast. The Vizio TV would have all of the apps for the services I use, right? I was disappointed to find out that this was not the case. They do have the popular apps you would expect. However, I still had to set up my Chromecast because they didn't have what I was looking for. So, I did not even bother with the apps on the TV. I was left wondering why I had to bother jumping through the hoops of setting up internet access and creating a Vizio account if I was not even going to use them. An old fashioned TV with now "smart features" would have served me perfectly. Overall, the quality of the picture and sound is great, but keep in mind that you can not just take the TV out of the box and plug it in to use it. It requires a lot of set up and updates, which may take a long time for slower Internet connections.

Good picture

Not a bad tv. The price was not bad either. I do not like how you cannot download an app to add to your lineup. The one I wanted was not on your list. Also the controller is heavier at the top. So when I pick it up I always have it upside down. Anyway as of right now I would be happier if I could download the app I want that is not on your list if apps.

Buyer Beware…..hidden activation fees

Maybe it is something I missed , but before I could actually use my new tv inHAD tompurxhase some kind of product service before my new tv could be activated. I requested I wanted to opt out and was told that as if June 2024 all new purchases would require this additional charge. I saw nothing on the packaging and nothing I the product description nor did any reviews mention it. This cost me an additional $80.00 just to activate this tv. I Am livid. I p,an to return this product and never will I buy another Vizio product and I will advise friends and family of hidden fees this company u derhanded,y charged?

It was good but not great

It was a little difficult to set up and then to run through everything. It was even harder to set it up on my phone, but once you got it all set up everything seems to be fine except for the top screen. It gets a little dark, but it only seems like one certain things Are on the screen itself but overall it’s a nice TV but it could use a few improvements but if I could afford the more expensive one, it would’ve been even better you get what you pay for but like I said overall, I’m very happy with the TV thank you and God bless.

So glad I purchased Vizio!

I've had this tv for a few days now and so glad I purchased it. Set up was a breeze and it has a great picture. I think I'll enjoy all the free channels as well. I had originally bought a different brand but had to return it because it was so complicated that I couldn't get it setup and the remote was a total joke.

No Crunchyroll or Hidive app

Bought this T.V. expecting it to be just like any other smart tv only to find it did not support Crunchyroll or Hidive applications. Instead I was presented with a number of apps I've never heard of. I am aware I can cast those apps through my phone to the tv but might as well purchase a tv that supports them.

Great price but disappointed overall

I bought this TV a few days ago hoping it would be as good as my previous Vizio TV which was a predasasor to this one. Sadly, it's nowhere near as good as my old TV. It lacks ports only having two HDMI, an antenna ( who uses these nowadays?), an optical audio and a USB port. My old TV had tons of connections including composite inputs as well as 3 HDMI and more. Also, the picture isn't nearly as clear and there aren't as many customizing options to refine the picture. Viewing angle is terrible. The screws won't screw in tight to hold the feet in place so there's wobble. The setup process forced me to accept an agreement that forces me to connect the TV to my wifi connection which I don't want. I should have had an option to bypass this part of setup. I have a Roku Ultra for streaming content, I don't want or need the TV to be connected to the internet. This TV design was not well thought out. The only two things I can say positive is that the price was low and the audio is pretty good. That's it.

Great features for the price

Just bought a Vizio Smart TV for my extra bedroom/meditation room and love it. I was a bit concerned at first about how the quality would really be for a TV that has such a low price. I am more than impressed. The color is great, the set up was a breeze, connecting a bluetooth headset was simple and connecting my WII game console was easy as well. Plenty of popular apps are built in with more to choose from. I couldn't be happier!
