It's just awesome

Had a Vizio before and it lasted forever. So I bought another one. A bigger one. Now I have a 65 inch, and love all the new features. I am enjoying the clarity of the picture, and the quality of sound from the speakers. Would highly recommend purchasing one.

Love this TV

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own 3 of the 4 Vizio devices in our house. Each product is great in it own way. This TV in particular is great to use, interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. Plentiful apps for use. Easy to update as well.

This TV IS AWESOME!

Dell had a great sale on Vizio 58 inch Smart TV and I purchased it. The first delivery was smashed to pieces by UPS, the second was delivered by FedEx and it was in excellent condition. What I enjoy about this TV is that I was able to "cut the cord". No more Spectrum. I get free channels from Vizio plus using my Tmobile HotSpot, I linked my Hulu, Amazon and YouTube TV accounts. I love the sound and picture quality as well as the easy use and layout of the remote. Great product. I love it.

Quite disappointed.

I have to reset (unplug and plug back in) every single day now. One second it will be working fine then I change the show or movie and boom! No sound. Even when I switch input, it still doesn't work. None of my other smart tv's have this problem. It's a shame such a great brand name ends up producing a product such as this. This is definitely the last product I buy from you all. All I wanna do is watch some tv when I get home from work.

Perfect Family TV!

This is our second semi-Big screen VIZIO TV we have purchased in the past 18-months. We love the VCast feature, ease of setup and use as well as the price point. We replaced a 7 year old Samsung unit that had stopped working with the VIZIO, and didn't even consider shipping for Samsung this time around.

Great TV for the price!

This is my second Vizio TV. I love the customer service you get with Vizio products. You can always get a helpful representative to assist you with any tech issues quickly and easily. They always help me. The TV is great with easy to use features and smooth set up.

A lot of TV for not a lot of $

[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.

Great picture. Easy to use!

[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've had issues this whole time

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.

I have never said "I love my TV" unit this one!

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!
