Bad Quality

It would freeze up and the power button on remote or TV would not shut it off, had to unplug it and plug back in. Would shut it off and a few seconds later we would hear it back on. Picture was not very good.It was a gift to us,not something we would have gotten. Returned it and got something else.

SO FAR SO GOOD!

Wanted to replace a 42" plasma TV that we had downstairs for a long time but did not want to spend a lot of money since we do not use that location a lot when we watch TV. Decided on this 50" VIZIO after reading the reviews from the experts and the consumers and so far it appears that we made a good choice. After playing around with the settings for quite some time I finally got an excellent picture and when I hooked up the sound bar that I already had I was pretty satisfied with my purchase. The only thing negative is that you have to be very patient to set it up initially as it takes over one hour to get everything downloaded. Gone are the days when you bring a new TV home, plug it in and turn it on. It was NOT necessarily difficult but very lengthy. I've only used the TV about five times mostly watching sports and so far there has not been any issues. SO FAR SO GOOD!

Great price for great features!

I bought this television to replace my older Samsung smart LED tv. This Vizio tv has a better picture and the overall smart TV operating system is so much faster than my previous one. The apple airplay also makes it a world of difference to watch shows or listen to music I can't access with the apps available on the tv. I'll be buying vizio's from here on out!

Vizio has to ask ...what's app?

TV has great picture, sound, and Google home integration. The number of free apps with live programming is astounding. The lack of an app store and some key missing players like a browser or disney+ (as of mid February 2020) is an utter disappointment.

Beautiful color !! Love the size. Great tv

Bought for a Christmas gift for my parents ... they love it. Great price, nice size. The picture and the color are beautiful . Very easy set up. The speakers and sound aren't the greatest , but we have it hooked up to surround so that makes a big difference .

Awesome TV and features.

Its an awesome TV. All the features are great. I only have one item to mention. Bluetooth. Its locked into just one feature, SmartCast. Does me no good. This is my sixth Vizio TV and a Vizio sound bar. My last Visio which I still have and use is in another room, allowed me to Bluetooth my laptop, TV, and sound bar all together. No sound loss between switches. Now I have to use the (SPDIF) cable connected to TV. The sound bar is still bluetoothed to laptop. The TV auto audio detection switches from TV to sound bar or goes off until it detects which audio to use, "(SPDIF) or Bluetooth". Other than that, no issues.

Love Vizio

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my third Vizio that I have bought for myself. I absolutely love them. Part of my love is for the "Blank Screen" setting. It allows me to have sound without the bright light to keep me awake when I go to bed. But then add in all the other features and it makes these TV's PERFECT!!! I will never buy a different brand.

WORST TV I HAVE EVER OWNED

Picture is muddy and washed out, people look like the walking dead. Got a huge runaround from the company and was even told I needed to sit directly in front of the set. Was put through a series of contortions to try to reset and readjust, but nothing works. Kept it on the box for several months, so I can't take it back. Guess the garbage man will find it better than the one he uses.

Issues

Have had issues when the tv is first turned on. Sometimes it flashes from one color to another and none of the commands on the remote work when this happens. I power down and restart or have to unplug the power cord and plug it back in. Now it has another issue. I can access my local channels through my antenna, however when I go to input and choose a different input it just has the writing on the top of a black screen. I checked connectivity and redid the connection and still had the problem.

Simplified for Perfection

Bought this device a few weeks ago and it has simplified my life. I do not have to remember which device I plugged into each HDMI, the TV knows what device is plugged into it (PS4, Nintendo Switch, etc). I also love Smart Casting for my YouTube viewings as well.
