Kinda of a good TV

I bought this tv to game on and for the smart tv feature of casting my phone to the tv to watch movies. Well it does not appear to support the windows extend option completely. I can drag my mouse between laptop and tv screen but I can not get the game to launch on the tv screen and have Discord on my laptop. They are both are on the same device either laptop or tv screen. I replaced my sony tv with this one and everything worked just fine. Game on tv and discord on laptop. The vizio seems to have something wrong. When I got it the volume controls on the remote did not work. I talked to customer service and they told me to do a hard reset and sure enough the vol on the remote worked. They indicated it was a know problem but did not seem to be public knowledge. I suspect there is a s/w error but not enough folks have complained for them to fix it. So I gave the TV to my son and bought me a samsung smart tv which allows me to cast my phone to the tv and support my game on the tv and while discord in on my laptop. Bottom line if you want to game or use this tv to miracast your phone get a samsung. If all you want is a smart tv then this tv may scratch your itch. Not mine though.

Couldn't download any other apps

The picture was good. The only problem I had with the tv is that what apps were pre-loaded on the TV that was it. I could not download any other apps to it. What smart tv doesn't offer Sling?! I returned it because I couldn't customize the apps I actually use.

This TV uses our SmartCast Platform which offers a host of built in apps, as well as support for Google's Chromecast, Apple's AirPlay 2, and voice support for SIRI, Google Home, and Alexa. You are not able to manually download additional apps, however new apps are added to the platform often. If you find there is an app you want to watch that is not on SmartCast you may be able to cast it using Chromecast or Apple AirPlay from your phone or mobile device.

Great value!

This TV is awesome! Great size, price & features. This TV has all of my favorite apps and is compatible with all of my streaming. I will most definitely be purchasing another Vizio the next time I need to purchase another TV! Overall great product for the money!

Love my new tv!

I haven't had an upgrade ever that I've bought in my own until this tv. An I love it!!!!! Smooth format from the different options. Remote control is nice. I do wish it had a microphone it it thought to use speech commands. But other than that the design and overall use I am highly satisfied. It also pairs good with my sound bar.

Lots of features but not all work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Only after able 9 months of owning the TV, some is the apps freeze after able five minutes is use or they do not work at all. All user manuals explain how to clear cache in strings but this TV does not have the option in settings. Have to run some apps from phone and cast to tv. Picture even blacks out from time to time. Tried master reboot, reset to factory settings, and unplugging for ten minutes. None help.

Excellent quality TV

I bought the TV a couple weeks ago, I have not had a lot of time to watch it yet, but the few times I have, I have been very pleased. I have not gone through the screen adjustments yet, but the picture is still high-quality and the price point is great. Another excellent product from Vizio

Satisfied

Had the TV about a month. I like it, but the instructions were pretty poor or lacking. I have gotten used to operating it, mostly by trial and error. Still don't like some of the features but have figured it out. The picture is good. I would buy it again and recommend it for a reasonable price.

Fun TV

I've been using this as a monitor / TV combo. It works great as both. Remember WebTV of old? This is the new version. Ha. Except the Web part is via PC and HDMI. The PC can also act as the TV software source (for example, Spectrum TV streaming via the browser). I also use it for other PC work and Tidal streaming. The TV includes its own set of apps as well, some paid, some free. So overall it has been great for binge-watching during the pandemic. The software could perhaps be a little more user friendly and snappy, but hopefully with future updates improvements will be made. The included remote is decent quality and does its job also. The picture / video quality is fine, although I did adjust each source according to my preferences. Keep in mind the only way you'll see the kind of quality demoed in store is if you watch 4k video with a lot of colors. Don't expect every show to be broadcast with that kind of eye popping resolution. The 4k screen will reveal flaws in lower quality video similar to the way high quality speakers reveal flaws in music sources. I have the TV connected to an amp/speaker setup via the optical connector as the internal speaker is basically good enough for speech, but not so much fornsound effects and music. It's enough for you to listen to the dialog as expected.
