Beautiful video pathetic audio - needs a soundbar

We had a 1080p Vizio for quite a few years before this one but recently it went senile and wouldn't turn off so we decided to upgrade to a Vizio 40” 4k. The horizontal dimensions of 36” were exactly what we needed to kind-of fit in our old wood console. The picture quality and all of the apps are fantastic but as is the rage these days on all flatscreen models - to keep a clean ginormous-looking screen on the front they have a very minimalist frame and the speakers face down or back. Needless to say the sound is pathetic. Enter the Vizio Soundbar which sounds incredible but you need to budget that in to your TV purchase. Such uber-high resolution and color visuals are completely negated by the terrible built-in audio. Vizio would be better to offer a package deal if they know the built-in audio is sub-par to the video - don't treat your customers like idiots.

It's an upgrade, when it works....

I bought this tv as a way to stream shows without using another device, simple to put together out of the box & then SmartCast didn't work. I went to the website and did troubleshooting, no change...called the 800 number for customer service and repeated the same process to be told it was a firmware issue that will fix itself over time....2 days later it started working. If the store was accepting returns the TV would already be gone. Otherwise, picture is good and haven't really had any issues.

Good picture

I liked this tv up until a couple months ago. I have had it for just over a year and now I have to do a soft power cycle daily or it doesn't work. I get a message that there is no network detected or apps like Netflix will just buffer constantly until I do the soft power cycle. It's really annoying because sometimes I have to do it multiple times a day.

Tv is horrible. Great details at least

SmartCast logs me out of my Hulu and Disney+ while I am watching a show/movie. Don't know why. And the volume constantly freezes on my tv and takes at least 2-5 minutes to remove itself from the screen. The 4K is great, but overall I'd like something that doesn't exit me out of my apps while I am watching something.

OVER MY HEAD

I am age 73. had this tv two weeks and the operation is way over my head. wish it had physical copy of of a operation manual. i bought it for its 70inch size and am very pleased with this and quality of picture. but is very easy for me to use remote and do something i didnt want to and then not be able to correct it without manual.. i know manual is on tv but i dont like looking it up that way.

Functional

I bought this TV about 6 months ago. Easy set up. Had to work out some bugs originally with some connectivity issues but all were relatively easy to solve. Very easy to use and navigate between apps different settings make experiences i.e. gaming, movies, etc. Fun to tinker with.

Great value

This tv was a great buy!! You cant beat the price for the beautiful picture and screen size! I'm a gamer and if them games aren't as pretty as can possibly be; you need glasses!!!!! I also hot a vizio sound bar with the two rear speakers and subwoofer and it is a combination that is amazing to say the least! Stop procrastinating and doubting these amazing products and getcha some!!! 1;)~

Terrific screen software is glitchy and restricted

The screen and size are terrific. However, the smart TV functions continue to cause the unit to lock up and freeze requiring the user to perform a soft reset of the unit once you figure out how to reset. Vizio is aware of the issue, but have not fixed software. The app selection on the unit also lacks many of the apps available on streaming systems like Roku. You also do not have the ability to decide which apps are on the unit. I have now attached a Roku to this TV for ease of use and this avoids Vizio`s software issues. Which negates the reason for buying a smart TV.

Great picture!

My old Samsung TV was beginning to lose its picture so a friend recommended video to me and I am completely satisfied 100%. I have a 58 inch and the price was fantastic. It is easy to maneuver with all the apps on the controller and I can also use the airplay function to display YouTube and other apps that are not included from my phone or computer. Overall I would say this was a great find!

Easy setup. Works great... with ALL wanted APS.

We're not very technologically sound, but this VIZIO TV's installation was a breeze. We selected this particular brand because it offers on screen APS for networks which weren't offered by many of its competitors (such as PEACOCK and PARAMOUNTPLUS.) We are very happy with our decision to buy this television.
