What Happened

I had the same vizio TV for 15 years, so long that the numbers rubbed off of the remote. I loved that TV. My cat was chasing a bug and knocked the TV to the floor. So I bought this TV to replace it. After a week I packed it up and sent it back because the volume is terrible. You have to turn it up super high to hear it and it also crackles like a speaker is broken. It's in my bedroom (not a large area). I searched all over the internet and tried all the different settings. I'm so sad. I really wanted to love this. Everything else is great.

NO PICTURE SIZE ADJUSTMENT!!

This piece of crap will not allow you to adjust the aspect ratio or even zoom the movie or tv show so that it fits your tv screen! ALL tv's have that option these days! So almost all of the movies available to watch will appear as a narrow strip across your tv screen. I HATE THAT!! The "WatchFree" app isn't any better than using tubi, free online. As a matter of fact, most of it is tubi tv. But the interface is worse making you spend more time looking for something to watch than actually watching something. Otherwise the tv is okay. I may return it just because it doesn't have a working aspect ratio adjuster or zoom feature!! GRRR!!!!!!!!!!

Great

Great TV, 3rd one I've bought for my house. 70" 65" 40" Ever size has an amazing picture easy set up easy to use for older people just now getting into smart TVs with all the apps. I highly recommend Vizio tvs at Walmart. Also, you can't beat the price.

meh

it's an average tv when it comes to display however i've had it just over a year now and it drives me insane. it will randomly go into “store mode” for no reason, constantly makes me go through setup and the buttons lag when trying to change volume or make selections. needless to say if it's for a kids room it's probably fine but for any thing else i wouldn't buy it.

Initial thoughts, etc.

No damage on arrival. Opened project looked stunning. Setup is relatively easy (screws were a bit tough for the leg supports). The update when you first turn on the tv takes about 10-15 min (maybe less with better wifi, idk). Picture quality looks great ( primary use for video games). Sound is quite nice as well. Would definitely recommend this TV. Will give future update if anything changes…

DO NOT BUY

I purchased this tv twice, and had to returned twice. It keeps freezing. On my second one, it was not only freezing, but apps wouldn't work. I called Vizio and they told it was defective and will send new one within 5 to 7 business days. Never got replacement, so returned to Walmart. Don't waist your time and money. Don't get a Vizio.

No Spectrum

Went through all the trouble of setting this television up, mounting it on the wall and it will not accept our cable television app. It even has a screen saying contact Spectrum with an 800 number for Spectrum. In addition the television screen is not the most vibrant or clear.

Vizio has WatchFree Channels and lots of apps

I have bought several Vizio TV's and this is the FIRST one that didn't take over 2 hours to set up and continuously 'update'. It does take some time to set up, so be prepared to do that and not watch something as soon as you take it out of the box. I buy for the WatchFree channels as well as the various apps you can use like Sirium XM and Pandora.

Do not buy

I've had this tv for three months. In that time, I've needed to reset it multiple times, as it was glitchy and wouldn't function properly. Now, after three months and a new update, it won't work at all. Frustrated with the tv and with myself for not taking the reviews of others with similar experiences more seriously. I bought it fingers-crossed it wouldn't happen to me, because it was the right size and a good deal, but it did. Unfortunately, the negative reviews may be more realistic than the positive ones. Good for those who haven't had any issues. I just can't imagine how. Two stars for the viewing experience when it actually worked.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a few Vizio TVs and they are very reliable. I needed a new one as a gift for a friend who was hosting me at his nearby ranch. I love shopping the Walmart in my hometown (Rocklin, CA) so I thought it was convenient to shop at your Walmart. I needed groceries and a few other items while I was staying in Hammett, so I naturally went to the nearby Mountain Home Walmart. Thank you for maintaining a great store and making my week in Idaho an enjoyable stay.
