Nice features, picture is not what hoped for

Just bought this TV and I'm very happy with the vizio smart features but I'm disappointed with the overall picture quality. I had a 5 year old cheap tcl 4k that had better picture than this TV. I wish I spent another 100 and got the next model up. I was expecting much more.

At VIZIO we pride ourselves on our highly rated picture quality. To make sure you’re getting the most out of your VIZIO TV, we’d recommend making sure your devices are connected with an HDMI cable, and are set to broadcast in 4K (2160p) or Full HD (1080p). You can also individually adjust your picture settings in the menu. For brighter rooms, try using the ‘VIVID’ picture mode for a brighter, more colorful image. If you’d like any assistance adjusting these settings, our customer support team would love to help you dial in the TV to your preference, you can reach them at 844-254-8087.

Extremely User Friendly

I purchased this TV a few weeks ago, after researching it and similar models. We are very happy with our purchase and love the large on screen icons that are super easy to use. Wonderful picture and sound and simple to set up, you'll be watching your favorite shows and movies within minutes of opening the box!

Outstanding value. Packed with premium features!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Three years ago, I was introduced to VIZIO's SmartCast M-Series HDTVs. At that time 4K (2160p) displays were the mainstream standard, with HDR (High Dynamic Range) being the new must-have feature for Ultra-HD home theater displays. Since then, 4K HDR Smart TV's with improved Stream/Casting features have become the market standard. For the 2021 model year, VIZIO has adapted by dividing their HDTV product lines between value-driven and premium-feature consumers. For under $300 you get a 58-inch 4K UHD display loaded with HDR10+ support, SmartCast 4.0 technology, 802.11n Dual Band Wi-Fi, and VIZIO's new V-Gaming Engine featuring Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and AMD FreeSync. In this review, I test the VIZIO V585x-H1 58″ 4K HDR Smart TV. This review covers the 58″ VIZIO V585x-H1 model, which joins a wide selection of value-priced 4K displays available in the following size classes: 40″, 43″ 50″, 55″, 58″, 60″ 65″, 70″, and 75″. VIZIO's entire V-Series shares identical performance hardware features and connectivity options, regardless of panel size-class. Each arrives with a one-year VIZIO Parts & Labor warranty, and free Lifetime Technical Support. Panels on VIZIO V-series displays deliver a 60 Hz effective refresh rate, and presented in 16:9 aspect ratio. VIZIO's proprietary Ultra Color Spectrum technology delivers a wide color gamut, and offers a dynamic contrast ratio of 200,000:1. VIZIO V-Series black levels are reproduced by a full-array local dimming solution, which is to be expected considering their value pricing. VIZIO's M- and P-series panels offer increasingly-impressive local dimming zones that deliver incredible black levels – for an added price. This 58″ VIZIO V585x-H1 model measures 51.38″ x 32.43″ x 10.24″ (1305.05 mm x 823.72 mm x 260.1 mm) with the stands installed, and weighs 32-lbs (14.6 Kg). Without the stands, this display measures 51.38″ x 30.02″ x 3.39″ (1305.05 mm x 762.51 mm x 86.11 mm) for panel only. If you plan to wall-mount this display, the VESA-compliant mounting pattern measures 300 mm x 300 mm, and accepts M6 screws up to 14 mm long. The viewable angle for V-Series panels is 178° horizontal, and 178° vertical. All 2021 V-Series home theater displays feature 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz dual band 802.11n Wi-Fi. Users wo are in need of Bluetooth or 802.11ac connectivity should look to VIZIO's M- or P-Series HDTVs. With such a streamlined feature package, power consumption is one area where the V-series shines. In standby mode, power consumption is a miserly half-watt or less for this 58″ display. During typical use, power consumption rises to only 90 Watts for the VIZIO V585x-H1 model. Energy Guide estimates $20 yearly cost based on 5 hours/day. Smart TV's have come a long way since their introduction, and VIZIO's SmartCast 4.0 technology proves that point with widespread compatibility for their budget V-series lineup. Every popular streaming app is supported, but if you find yourself wanting to ‘cast' to the TV from another device, it can be done from any of the following platforms: Android 4.4+, iOS 9.0+, Mac OS 10.9+, Chrome 28+, and Windows 7+. While offered to the value market, the backside of V-series Smart TVs deliver some premium features not typically available at this price segment. 4K HDR panels aside, you get a wide array of connectivity options: three HDMI 2.1 ports, Composite, Ethernet, USB 2.0, and an over-the-air TV tuner – something not available on many 4K displays. Two rear/bottom-firing 10W speakers offer decent audio output, with good mid and high-range reproduction. Outputs on the V-series include three HDMI 2.1 ports with eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel), a Digital Audio output (TOSLINK, S/PDIF), and an Analog Audio output to enable sound to a wide variety of legacy home theater devices. The USB 2.0 port is specified for storage devices formatted with a FAT32 partition, but NTFS also works. VIZIO's SmartCast mobile app is available for those who keep a device handy at all times, but for everyone else the XRT140 remote control is more than capable. This remote adds six quick-launch buttons at the top, along with a Watch Free button to browse over-the-air and streaming stations. Two Duracell AAA batteries are included for the remote. If all else fails, a basic set of power, volume, and input select buttons are available at the side of the display. Much of 2020 has been spent at home, with plenty of free time consumed by seeking relief in front of the TV. These conditions push value to the forefront of consumer concerns, and place added interest in the market segment. VIZIO's 2021 V-series models account for this, and strike the ideal balance of premium features with budget-friendly pricing. For under $300 you get a 58-inch 4K UHD display with HDR10+ support, versatile casting compatibility, full streaming service support, a wide variety of input and output connections, and VIZIO's new V-Gaming Engine featuring Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) with AMD FreeSync. As I evaluated the VIZIO V585x-H1, it was difficult to avoid comparisons to the M-series products that I already own. Really, there were only two standout features missing from V-series: 1) Wireless-AC compatibility, which, if I'm being honest, has no perceivable impact on streaming service quality when compared against Wireless-N, and 2) local dimming zones for darker black levels, which are actually still nice and dark with full-array local dimming. I've handled this 58″ VIZIO V585x-H1 display more than most people will handle their home theater television during its entire product lifetime. I've wall mounted it, and moved it to three different table top locations. I've turned it over several times, and handled it while going up and down stairs. This display is very rigid, and quite durable. VIZIO provides a one-year warranty to the original purchaser against defect in materials and workmanship for non-commercial usage and ninety (90) days of commercial use. Limited technical support is provided for the life of this product. If a SmartCast M-series product covered by warranty is defective, VIZIO will either repair or replace the unit. Consumers may reach VIZIO technical support at techsupport@vizio.com, or by telephone at 877-698-4946. In conclusion, I recommend the 2021 VIZIO V-series displays for budget-minded consumers wanting a versatile 4K Smart HDTV with HDR10+ and a full compliment of streaming services and casting compatibility. Heading into Black Friday priced under $300 for this 58″ model, you cannot possibly go wrong.

Great TV!

This is my second video. The first was bought 11 years ago. And it still works great. Just the lack of it being a smart TV is the only reason I needed to get a new one. It comes preloaded with all the apps. And most importantly Apple airplay so it syncs up with all my devices. Such a great product.

Great if adjusted, but why too green?

This tv is just way too leveled on the green spectrum. I have to adjust the tint every time the hdr10+ changes for optimal performance. The tv is so advanced that it will continually adjust the color while in hdr10, upscaling any lower quality picture to the point of lots of noise on the screen. And the backlight is literally just a black filter not a back light at all. And unless the tv is hardwired my xbox or even dvd player will literally crash the tv and I'll have to reset it or unplug the power cord for 30 seconds, other than these actual issues, it's an amazing tv, with incredible detail and color in full 4k ultra hd, I put on Disney+ and watched wild kingdom and even from footage in the 70s it's crystal clear. Minus the initial technical difficulties, this tv is looking very nice, great quality picture for the best price, beats tcl hands down in picture quality. Not sho much on the main menu, and i wish you supported the spectrum cable app, but you don't so i have to use my xbox to watch cable from thier app.

Great Smart TV for price

I bought this as a gift in November 2019. It was not taken out of the box until a few months ago. I was so upset because the apps were not loading, nothing was working correctly. I did a hard reset and still nothing. I thought I was going to have to send it back! Out of the blue a couple of weeks ago the TV turned on by itself and everything worked. Now that it is working, we love it for the price.

Excellent TV

This is a fantastic TV. Glare is minimal, the colors are bright, the sound is great, the picture quality is excellent, both from internal app video streaming and from my Xbox, and I am absolutely amazed at how fast it is switching between App (e.g., Hulu to Netflix to Amazon Prime). It is as fast as changing a channel.

Worth the Price

I enjoy a lot to be able to access Netflix App and others as well, with a very bright picture. Also, to be able to play MP4s & MP3s using a Pendrive. I wish In the near future, PDF documents could be display. I use the smart tv as an additional tool to support academic tutorials.

Great TV!

I purchased this TV in November, 2019. It's the first TV I've purchased in five years and it's a dandy! I love the way I can download apps and use the internet to receive all of my programs! I ‘cut the cord' - no more expensive cable for me! I'm in the process of installing a sound bar but I'm not sure I really need it! I will be buying a new TV for our lake house and probably one just like this one! It's the best I've seen at a reasonable price!

Best tv ever!

This tv has everything you could want and need! I love all the apps that come programmed on it! You literally have every platform of shows on the apps! Great picture and sound quality! Sounds like you're in a movie theater without needing surround sound! Will be buying 2 more!
