Easy set up, good tv for price

Overfall am happy with the tv. The set up was very user friendly. The instructions say that you can change the name of the inputs but when I go the the settings menu where you should be able to accomplish that, there no "Input Name" on the menu as shown in the manual.

All the features we were looking for!

Very pleased thus far. Few weeks in and I love that I can stream from my Apple device right to the tv. I can even share my Mac book pro screen! It connected easily with all the streaming apps we use, with the exception of the spectrum app that one is not available on FireTv but we hope it will come in a future update. I would recommend this tv, the picture quality has been great thus far!

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.

Easy to use

I bought this TV being we were going to buy a different brand. The day we went to get it the store associates had told us some things that were a little alarming about the brand we were going to buy. The price was the same and the picture was very crisp

Finally, my own Vizio

I've always been given used televisions. The majority had "ok" pictures, but I noticed the Vizio's had better pictures. Well I just bought my very own brand new TV, a Vizio! So happy with this TV and everything about it, I can't believe I waited this long. It's truly the best out there. Thanks Vizio.

Disappointed with the glitches

I bought this end of July 2020, & within the first two weeks I noticed the tv freezes up & will only show black screen. Since this as I blew it off as just unplug and reset. Now I'm not quite 6 months in and there are several issues seems with this model. Which is disappointing, because it is our fourth Vizio TV in 8 years and the only one to have noticable issues early on. Newest issue is when watching TV or movie in one of the apps, the tv will flicker between the show I'm watching and the smartcast app screen about every 30 seconds. The other frustrating issue is the freezing up of apps, antenna tv as your watching or selecting to watch. Constant notification that video playback unavailable or video not available check internet connection. Internet shows to be connected but still no video playback working. If on antenna channels display black screen with "audio program" displayed in middle of screen as you can hear the show but not see it. Lasty the center(enter) on the remote doesn't always work and unable to select or channel through. Overall very unhappy with the purchase. Also can't add or update any apps, missing HBO Max and Amazon Music as an option have to Roku to really enjoy wide range of apps.

Good picture quality, poor sound

The picture quality is very good, but the sound is very low. I have to turn it up to 100 to hear it at the volume I want. I have a sound bar and even connected to the sound bar, it usually isn't loud enough. I will probably just keep it and buy another better sound bar, but I wish I bought a different TV. I had a different Vizio TV before this one, and the sound was ok on that one so that's why I went with Vizio again.

It's okay

It's not top of the line, and the only way to get Dolby 4K Vision is to hookup my external Apple TV, but for the money...it's okay. In another 3 or 5 years I'll know what better questions to ask the associate at the store, and then hopefully get the TV I want. Be it Visio or not...

Great TV

My TV came with all the apps that I like already on it and some I've never even heard of before. The picture quality is awesome. I would recommend this product to everyone. Why but a brand new TV, when you can get a referbished one for a lot cheaper like I did.

top of the line

i always bought top of the line TVs and paid top prices. i bought this 55 inch Vizio and paid an average price for the size. i can honestly say i got the best TV i have ever owned for a price that is well below what i expected to pay for this type of quality.
