I wish i had done more digging about the vizio smart cast television! No new apps unless you use the chromecast??? What in the world is that all about??? Im having to sacrifice picture quality to see what i want on the SMART! TV!! Ok again thats on me for not looking into it a bit more ill eat that. Fine. Vizio! You make the best TV's the buying public could ask for ok. Im still a fan whole heartedly! I just dont see why u had to be different in this series of TV's. They make for a good drs office TV. Maybe like a mall TV for showing ads maybe, just not private use where the full experience is a must ok. Someone's kids would be ok with it. Im also having trouble casting my tablet screen to it! My phone does it no problem. Im just frustrated about that currently. My review stands true though. That has nothing to do with the inability to cast things. Thanks for the great products overall. Please take this as a serious review. Im a big fan of the screens you put out. I dont comment on a brand unless its used by me. No bad reviews just to do it. Hopefully its considered constructive. Thanks again

I brought this v series tv for the viewing capabilities(4k uhd). I am happy with this aspect. What I have issue with is the audio. What I notice is that if what I'm viewing is not 4k, hd, basically newer then the volume doesn't match the capability that the TV offers. Most things I watch I have I have to turn up to max volume. I am looking into getting a sound bar to remedy this situation hopefully. The other issue is the app selection needs to be updated. There are quite a few apps but apps are not available like hbomax, sling, philo, lifetime, etc. Otherwise good tv.

Just purchased my new smart tv today. I don't have cable but stream like most people seem to be doing. I'm not real thrilled that I'm unable to download an app to watch tv that isn't already pre-loaded onto the TV. Sure, I can mirror from my iPad, smart phone etc, but this doesn't help if I'm not home and someone is housesitting for me? So far I'm unimpressed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this to replace an old 27" 720p tv in our bedroom, and it is such an upgrade. I love the picture, great sound, and easy to use. And I'm a huge fan of the OS and being able to cast from my phone also.

Recently bought this Vizio 50' 4K and couldn't be happier with it, it was a replacement for an older Vizio 42' LCD. The picture quality is superb and the sound is out of this world. I've always been thoroughly impressed with Vizio TV's and this one just cements your company's reputation as maker of great quality products

Tv has great picture when watching 4k/2k resolution. Also does standard 1080 well. My problem is with the built in apps. Netflix, Hulu and sometimes Amazon prime all error out after weeks of use without issue. I have to reset the tv to factory defaults in order for the apps to work again.

Great video when it works. Lousy Audio. Easy to set-up. The day after setting up the audio stopped responding to the remote. We were unable to adjust the audio. I had to Reboot the unit. That appeared to fix the audio volume control. Now the unit will sometimes give an ugly video which only fills about 1/2 of the screen. It will be green with dots and stripes. After turning the unit off and on a few times the video cleared up. I am surprised at these problems. I chose this over a Samsung. Maybe I should have stuck with the Samsung.

Only disappointment I have is: 1)No manual hardcopy. I have no access to internet, 2) do not know how Free Tv button work, 3)when audio is raised over 24 decibel, sound has slight distortion. May not be with all units of this model, but it is the case with mine.

I love it but I do wish that I could load new apps onto the TV and no use chromecast. It's to time consuming doing it this way and I feel that my time is to important to do this every time I want the use an app that is no pre-loaded. I'm hoping for an upgrade that give those of us who prefer to use a smart TV like we've always used it. Please let me know if this ever happens. Thank you, Don

I had a difficult time trying to get my Vizio setup. It didn't have the greatest instruction. Everything was online. I wished I had a paper manuel to refer for assistance. I had to watch several different Youtube videos to figure out the setup. It didn't have the current updates. Since I purchased my tv, I couldn't watch any streaming channels for 4 days. I wasn't really happy with the purchase, but it's better than it was. I am a previous owner of Vizio television and I really enjoyed my old tv, which still works. I wanted an upgrade where I could stream from my WiFi.
