[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To put this review in context, we already own three other Vizio TVs - a 75" P-Series, a 75" M-Series, and a 70" E-Series (as well as multiple 3.1 and 5.1 soundbars and Crave Pro smart speakers). First impressions on opening the box are this is more of the same - a sleek modern design with the typically excellent fit and finish we have come to expect of Vizio products. The bezel is extremely thin with a very attractive brushed finish, so no distractions from glare or reflections from lights. The feet are the same concept throughout all the various series, again a matt black finish to ensure they don't detract from the viewing experience. The main difference between the V-Series and the other more expensive models is the materials are plastic rather than metal, but that is to be expected at this price point. Visually however, it's impossible to tell and is no less pleasing to look at. The remote control is very similar to the ones we have for the other TVs but it has had an update and redesign with additional buttons and pleasingly, it now has a flat base so rests in a horizontal position, rather than dipping down at the front. Oh, and before I forget, the bag the TV comes in with the grab handles is an ingenious idea. It makes it easy for one person to remove it from the box, without having to try and stretch your arms around each side. The power, input and volume controls are all on the rear of the TV - which is how the bezel is able to be so thin - and gives it a very clean look. In 5 years though I don't think we've ever touched the controls on any of the TVs - we use the remote, a phone/tablet (SmartCast Mobile), or Google Assistant to control them all. Also on the rear are all the inputs and outputs you will ever need: a coaxial input for cable or satellite, composite analog input and audio output (it's debatable whether anyone uses those these days), an optical output for a receiver or soundbar, an ethernet port (although it has wi-fi built in so likely won't be used), a USB port for playing media from a thumb drive, and three HDMI ports, one of which is ARC enabled. First power on goes through the standard set up - choosing the language, country, etc. then connect to the network using the built in wi-fi, and finally a software update check. A couple of updates were required which took around 10 minutes to complete and then the TV was ready to use. Out of the box, the display is set to "Bright" mode. I always find this a little bit too vivid and artificial and as all of our TV watching is in the evening, it's just too intense. Fortunately, Vizio TVs have built in pre-set modes and "Calibrated Dark" is the one all of our TVs are set to. A quick word on the menu operation - it's one of the easiest I've used: simple, straightforward, and intuitive. It just works. The picture quality across all of the various inputs is superb - sharp and clear, good colour rendition, and decent blacks, and as it's 4K Ultra HD, incredibiy detailed. Blu-ray is particularly impressive but even the various streaming services produce great depth with no smearing or streaking. The huge number of built in apps such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ AppleTV, etc. makes finding and viewing content simple and avoids the need to cast from a device to the TV, although you can still do that if you wish. There's also a dedicated set of free channels, as well as Crackle, Pluto TV, and others, so you don't need to subscribe to multiple paid services to find something to watch. The one thing this TV doesn't have is a dedicated HDMI input for gaming, but at my age, any kind of input lag is the least of my problems when battling hordes of zombies! Sound is adequate considering the size of the speakers - you're not going to get any room shaking bass but it is clear and there is an option to enhance the dialogue. There is also the choice of surround sound mode or equalizer, allowing you to fine tune the overall sound. To really do the picture quality justice though, you need to upgrade to an external soundbar (or receiver and speakers), which is what we'll be doing. The USB port which allows you to play audio, videos, and still pictures is handy ... perfect for slideshows on those family get togethers which everyone loves ;-) Yes, if you put this TV side by side with a P series then you can see where the extra expense is involved, but if you were to do a blind comparison with a similar sized M series then you would be hard pushed to tell the difference. Overall, for the price, this TV is incredible value for money and performs way better than I expected. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Vizio is the first smart TV that I've owned. It has great features with All the multiple apps and viewing options that I could ever want. I'm also impressed with the continually updating apps that provide more options with user friendly functions. I couldn't "picture" myself going back to the basic old conventional type TV. My Vizio is by far one of the best home entertainment product investments I've made. You've got my 2 thumbs up! Thanks you, Happily Satisfied Consumer Christian G.

I was so happy to have a big tv and then it started to go out on me. The screen would be black I thought it was off but nope it was on. Then the volume would disappear. And over all not even a year I've had it and I want another tv. My cousin had the same one and told me it would happen to me too and a month later… it happened.

My parents have Vizio TVs and I have been so impressed with the color and definition whenever I visit them- they live in a very rural part of Iowa with HD satellite. I finally bought my own Vizio and have been blown away! I truly have never had a television as good as this one- I just considered them a "thing" that is in the living room, but since seeing my parent's and now this one- I have raised my standards and couldn't be happier. A very happy new customer- thank you!

I bought this TV about 6 months ago and I can't believe the quality of the picture at this price point. I love the this profile and user friendly controls and the remote is a breeze to use. I coupled my tv with a Vizio sound bar and subwoofer and it took things to another level. So why 4 stars? One reason I bought this tv was for the airplay and Chromecast features. I have had a lot of connection issues that require a soft restart almost every time to find devices. The software needs some serious tweaking. I've also encountered sound not working on many apps that requires me to cycle through speaker options and magically sound seems to activate. The good news is that all my issues can be fixed through software updates. I live with the bugs as the pros outweigh the cons. If Vizio can make these updates and bug fixes happen this TV is a purchase no brained.

For the size of the TV, the picture quality is a little disappointing. Also, there has been multiple times where it freezes and the only way for it to be fixed is unplugging it, I wouldn't complain about that if i hadn't got this TV less than 2 months ago. TV's are expensive so it's not awful pricing considering the size but I was expecting more. Also, why is there no HBO app?

Great TV to have in the bedroom, as the size allows it to fill walls nicely. The reason it's a great bedroom tv and only that, is because of the lack luster speakers. The TV often has connectivity issues when it comes to Apple Play, SmartCast, or even WiFi Connections at times. Otherwise, great tv.

I bought this tv with high expectations. I did not know this brand does not work at Mexico, compared to other brands. just few features work. So, though the TV image is pretty sharp, I just have a 4K tv, not a smart one. I hope this can be fixed in a near feature since Mexico can be a very important market. Pretty good price for the TV image, not recommended for abroad.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased over a year ago and it's still working perfrct. I've owned a few Vizio tv's and think I'll stick with them in the future. Love it works with my alexa too. Am looking to upgrade to a 70" and use this one in the game room

Just bought this television yesterday. The installation was simple but when I turned it on, the firmware updates took nearly 2 hours, not the 10 minutes shown on the screen. After running the updates, the SMARTCAST feature only worked for Netflix. None of the other built in apps like Hulu or Prime worked, which is the main reason why I purchased a SmartTV. I did the recommended soft power cycle and a hard power cycle, but it didn't resolve the problem. I'm disappointed that brand new equipment out of the box did not work as advertised.
