Disappointed in the features or lack thereof

I just bought 2 Vizio TVs. After setting them up and trying to make other devices connect, I am very disappointed in what. is either the lack of features or the lack of clear instructions with the TVs. I can't paid my AirPods Pro, and from what I've read, even if you get them connected, there is no way to change the volume. The built-in speakers are horrible. I have tried multiple times to connect an external speaker that I used with my previous TV without problem, and there is no easy way to do this.I tried connecting via Bluetooth without success so used an audio cord--but the speaker doesn't stay connected if the TV is idle or turns off. So I have to manually turn it on before each use. The remote control needs a mute button. on many apps, the ads or blasted at a higher volume and there is no easy way to mute it, which is a problem when others in the home are sleeping or need quiet for some reason. I wouldn't buy this brand again.

Unstable streaming

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before I get into the meat of this brief review, I will state that this is my 4th Vizio product, so I have no issue with the brand. TV picture is decent and sound is as expected. however this TV will not stop “freezing” while streaming. This includes slow or no response to input from the remote control. I have reconnected to the network, rebooted the network, rebooted the TV, reset the TV, looked for firmware updates…anything I could think of…but the TV just keeps freezing. I have only owned it for 5 days now, but am seriously considering returning it.

My only complaint is that I cannot lower the sound or mute it before the actual picture come on as I could with my previous Vizio tv. It was a nice feature that is now missing. Also the sound is not quite as loud as the previous model, but it's okay.

Sluggish

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having issues with paramount and peacock apps not loading and having to reinstall them and then also having to constantly reset the tv to factory defaults so that we can get the latest updates so the apps work better

Overall great inexpensive tv!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this tv for using my n64 as it still has composite hookups. Hdmi is a perk, but man i didnt realize how much id love the smart tv function! I dont normally like smart tvs, but this is really well done.

I would be fired from the TV industry for such UI

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I spent 20 years in the digital TV industry and I would be fired forever if I implemented such a dumb, slow, unresponsive, terrible user interface. It turns out that the Smartcast section was designed, managed and developed by a team of junior programmers from a kindergarten. "Vizio Watch Free+" is even worse: switching channels (up/down) takes 7 seconds, direct access by channel number - 13 seconds!! No more comments...

Do not purchase this tv. I bought this tv 13 months ago and now I have vertical lines. The warranty has expired. Also about a month ago, when you turned on the tv the apps stopped loading and you constantly had to reset tv. Truly a waste of money.

Great Television!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The picture color and clarity made my viewing more pleasurable. The sound lets music sound like it should and sound effects in movies seem like they are in the room with you. Easy to adjust anything you want on settings. The main picture has SO many things to choose from to watch! I can watch all the things I have on Roku after I download them on it except one app which is not bad at all. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Worst TV We Have Ever Owned

This TV has been nothing but problems since we bought it. Repeated calls do not bring satisfaction. A long call yesterday after the remote no longer works, the TV turns off by itself, the sound cannot be adjusted, the input changes on it own and on and on resulted in the representative saying she was going to talk to her supervisor. The call was immediately disconnected and no return call even after verifying our number. Terrible product and terrible customer service!

A Large Improvement

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've had our new TV for one month and love it. Living in a rural area and so tech issues are always a challenge. Setup was straightforward and we now have a much improved connection to our Wifi. Picture quality is very good, audio also. We are very pleased.
