Affordable and Awesome!

We bought this TV a month ago and have had theatrical movie nights ever since. Starting off, we didn't have any external speakers, but this TV is already equipped with great sound in the 50-90 range. We did notice some burn-in on the corners when viewed on a black background, such as start-up and on the home screen. There are also a few glitches with the apps, which may just be a feature we are not used to. When you open Netflix and search for a title, for example, if you do not fully exit the app before opening a new app, like a computer the app will stay opened in the background. This is awesome for searching around for a good movie to watch, but at some points the apps have caused the TV to freeze. We would turn the TV on and off, but even when turned back on, all apps are still on and selected to the last screen we were on. Unplugging for 15 seconds seems to reset the apps though. I recommend exiting apps before browsing on a new app. My family and I hope Disney+ is added soon, but even though it isn't, the Smart Cast and Air Play functions of this cover every other app not already installed. Overall, an AWESOME product at an affordable price. Thank you, Visio. - Donavon

More than I thought

Was looking at the 42 inch but saw the 50 on roll back for 20 more. Great picture, even my cat likes it. Comes with watch free and you get tons of stations and even music channels, combine with Netflix or Vudo it's all you really need. I play my games on it and great action pictures, no blurs.

Great Features

I bought this almost 1yr ago. I was home under lockdown order and the price was very reasonable. I was excited to have the big 58” screen. It works great with my internet connection. I have it directly wired to my router. It has all the popular apps pre loaded and many others that are free to watch. The speakers are ok but I decided to get the matching sound bar. Together they make a great pair. So happy that I got this model!!!

Sound is horrible

I bought this a month ago and actually sat down about a week ago to watch a movie. The picture is clear for the most part, but the sound quality is horrible. I have to turn it up to 51 just to hear what people are saying. I will be calling them about this, however, I'm waiting for the soundbar to come. Hopefully this will help, but I will still be calling about this.

Hello Ceejay53, as televisions continue to have larger screens with thinner profiles and sleeker bezels, there is less room for large speakers. To help get the best audio quality out of your VIZIO televisions speakers, we’ve included settings like DTS Studio Sound to provide the highest performance possible, while maintaining the thin, sleek, bezel-less profile of your television. If you’d like any help adjusting your audio settings feel free to contact VIZIO support at 844-254-8087.  For top of the line audio performance, you may also look into purchasing a VIZIO Sound Bar, there are several models available with wireless subwoofers for enhanced bass, rear speakers for true surround sound, and our new line of Atmos Sound Bars.

Great quality, amazing value

Nearly the exact same my friend's Samsung TV of same quality, for 150 less. I would argue that this TV actually has better color definition and better glare reduction as well. Definitely needs external audio though, the on-board is just as bad as any other TV on the market.

Not happy at all

I haven't been happy with this purchase since the day I bought it. I have 4 Vizio TV's at my house and the new one has the worse color of all 4. I've had to reset it to the factory settings to get the sound to work and stop starting up in the smart TV setting and locking up. My other TVs have outstanding pictures and this TV has been a total disappointment

50/50

I purchased this TV because I know how well the vizio brand stands test of time. However, im disappointed that there aren't more popular brands for options as apps. Where is discovery+, starz, or HBO max? Disappointing that a company such as yourself that you can't get deals to have these apps as options on your device.

Hello ChyWilliams7586, 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. If you’d like any help taking advantage of all the options VIZIO has to enjoy your content, our customer service team would be happy to speak with you at 844-254-8087.

Some issues

Great TV, however their seems to be issues with connectivity with outside sources such as USB and Chrome cast. The TV will "lock up" or freeze and we have to unplug the set to get it working again. Sound and picture are very nice though and it is very user friendly.

Hello Sirepud, thank you for taking time to leave some feedback. 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. This could help explain issues with attaching a second Chromecast device. I would recommend to use the built-in casting. In regards to the USB connections, we want to make sure that the USB drive is formatted to FAT32 and has only supported file types, typically JPEG and MP3, loaded on it. If you have any questions or need any assistance, we are available through text message, chat, or over the phone. Just go to support.VIZIO.com and click on ‘Contact Us’.

Horrible for the Elderly

ALL TV manufacturers have forgotten about the ELDERLY. Screens should be made simpler. It should be where the HOME screen shows ONLY icons for what the person wants (i.e.: TV stations & Netflix). There should be a way to LOCK either the remote or the tv so an elderly person can't arbitrarily get into areas they shouldn't. Remotes need to have bigger buttons and LIGHTS (I had to purchase a "universal remote" with these features.) Printing on screen needs to be easily viewed from a living room chair or bed (the "INPUT" options necessary to go from Netflix to TV Stations is TINY & barely seen amongst the busy HOME screen. Please think of the elderly, disabled, and anyone who struggles with ALL of this technology!!!! The RCA Roku (which I returned) allowed the HOME screen to be less busy, but per RCA, Roku, & Jasco, NO Roku TV will acknowledge # keys to go directly to a specific TV station. At 98 yrs old, she shouldn't have to push an arrow 50 times to get to a station! SHAME ON MANUFACTURERS!!!!

So happy I sized up!

Visio never disappoints! We purchased our 65” Visio about a month ago and it is the best of all the Visios we've purchased to date. The picture is crisp and clear and the color is true to life. This is the fourth one we have purchased in the last 12 years and won't be the last!
