Image is great

The app management is not a great idea. Apps come and go. This TV has no Disney+ and no AppleTV. I know there is SmartCast and The Apple projection thing, but it is not good enough. The image suffers. There are a metric ton of useless apps. What a waste. I can't do what I want. I bought a Roku stick to resolve the Vizio shortcomings.

Vizio Plus Live Tv is a great to watch many shows

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Vizio tv's! I own several Vizio tvs and have yet to have any problems. I definitely have became a loyal customer. From the great crisp picture, superb audio, and extreme value for features to cost there is simply no other brand to purchase. Vizio provides and does so at the top of the field in value.

Gorgeous picture. Misleading Chromecast support

Picture is great. No complaints. Many advanced features; more than my old TV. The main selling point was it's support for Chromecast. Based on my experience, this support is misleading. It locks me to a native aspect ratio that cannot be changed. I purchased another Chromecast and use that instead.

Hello kevins773, in many case the aspect ratio is controlled by the source device or can be changed in the television system menu. If you would like assistance with checking this setting when you have a free moment, they’re available through text message, chat, or over the phone. Just go to support.VIZIO.com and click on ‘Contact Us’.

Sound Quality

The picture on the tv is great. The main problem is that the sound quality is not very good. You have to have the volume on a high setting just to hear it at a normal level. I also am not that happy with the remote control. Having trouble turning on closed captioning

Hello deeni5, 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.

Archaic WiFi Protocall

This is likely my last purchase of a VIZIO TV. They insist on using an archaic WiFi protocall which requires you to set your router using WPA. The problem is, WPA is not secure and has been replace by WPA2 in 2004!! So VIZIO, you are only 16 years out of date, and this is a new TV! This WiFi setup must be done in your router, which means, it makes your whole network insecure! This is unacceptable.

Great Features!

Haven't had it a week yet so haven't tried everything. I love the size. I started watching a sewing youtube session and it went to the tv. My husband didn't appreciate it. I thought it would do the same when I went to "Fox Nation", but couldn't get it on. I'm not tech savvy as I was when I was younger.

Great Picture/color and size. I bought this a week ago and still haven't been able to figure out Smartcast and there aren't any instructions to be found. the only link I found on the Vizio sight, brought me to th instructions on how to for a Samsung TV. If it wasn't for the lack of instructions, I would have given it a 5.

Overall A Nice Television with One Drawback

I have had this TV for about 6 months and am overall satisfied with it. Occasionally large deep black areas in the picture get a bit "blockey" but that may be a stream issue as most of my watching is things like Netflix through a Roku box (yes, Netflix is built into the TV, but I use several other apps not built into the TV). I have two issues related with sound. One: overall the sound is so low that I regularly have to set the sound setting at about 75% even for normal conversation on shows. Two: I get some annoying sympathetic vibrations (mostly from the back, I believe) at certain mid-frequencies such as the constant background droning sound on board space ships as is common in Science Fiction Movies. This occurs even at lower volumes. This may be a problem unique to my individual TV which is wall-mounted on an articulated base. Still overall I would recommend this television.

Misleading & disappointing

I bought a vizio smartcast TV assuming that with the cast feature built in I would be able to quickly & easily mirror my phone screen on my new TV. This is not the case. Unlike my much older LG smart tv which allows me to mirror my phone screen & stream apps on my phone such as hulu & Netflix using just my data the vizio smartcast requires that you have wifi & that both the phone & the TV be connected to the same network. On top of that you have to go through the steps of pairing your phone to the TV. The smartcast has also seemed to have many glitches since we purchased it not even a year ago. Currently altho my other apps are working Netflix & Hulu are not working. I've tried factory reset, soft power cycling both the TV & router. Nothing seems to fix the issue with only these two apps. All my other apps are streaming just fine & I have found nothing on their website to help me resolve the issue. I regret purchasing the Smartcast TV the only thing good I have to say about it is it was a great price but clearly you get what you pay for.
