picture great-channel list lacking

when I bought this I assumed a smart tv was at least as good as a roku tv. I was wrong. Many of the channels I want to watch are not available including discover plus which I watch all the time. I had to put my old roku stick back on it. That was a big disappointment.

Hello dannan, this TV uses our SmartCast Platform which offers a host of built in apps, as well as support for Google's Chromecast, Apple's AirPlay 2, and voice support for SIRI, Google Home, and Alexa. You are not able to manually download additional apps, however new apps are added to the platform often. If you find there is an app you want to watch that is not on SmartCast you may be able to cast it using Chromecast or Apple AirPlay from your phone or mobile device. If you have any questions or need any assistance, we are available through text message, chat, or over the phone. Just go to support.VIZIO.com and click on ‘Contact Us’.

Great TV

I:be had this TV for about a month and have had no issues. The picture is great in low or high light situations. I especially love the screen not being glossy. Why? Because, a glossy screen has too much reflection. Sound is good too. The only, not so great thing, which you'll find on most large screen TVs, is that when TV speakers are on + surround sound system is, there is a slight echo created because the TV speakers fire from the back of the TV and reflect off the wall thus producing an echo.

Very easy to use.

Have Directv and the remote for the Vizio and our subscription go together nice and easy. I do not have to keep switching continuous to one remote to another except when in and out of my server (it's not great but easier than my other non-vizio tv). The picture is really vivid and clear. Also VERY pleased with the volume. We don't have to blast this up to 40 to just hear what's going on in a movie! So far, so good!

decent tv, subpar platform

i bought this a month or so back and immediately i was impressed with the visuals. 4k stuff looks great. the smartcast platform, however, is trash. from the inability to customize anything beyond what order the excessive amount of preinstalled apps show up in, to the inability to add new apps like hbo or discovery+, to their insistence that chromecasting from your phone is the same quality as running the app on the tv, and that's not even getting to the updates. vague. no information or release schedule. also as of july of 2021, the updates mysteriously erased the equalizer function on their tv's, and nobody here at vizio seems to even acknowledge it. i'll keep this tv as long as it takes me to save up for a roku or hisense tv, eff this brand.

Great tv great value!

Bought this tv around a month ago and so far so great! It's super easy to set up, casting to the tv is great. My only complaint is that the interface is a little busy. No way to add apps that I can tell (just subscribed to discovery plus and don't see a way to add that on yet?). and if you want to find an app you have to like filter through the tons of already installed apps. BUT that's fine because I can cast whatever I want to the tv. Great picture and sound. Love the remote layout.

I love everything about it

I I got about a month ago, and it's just so easy to use. Where the T.V. is and picking out the name or creating a unique name I think it makes me feel like it truly mine. (Yes I am esaly excitable offer small things.) It has all view options installed already like a consle does so I don't have to use my PS4 so much.

Picture is not what I expected

The picture seems to lack the quality that my older magnavox had which kind of shocks me. When it goes to a close up on things itnis clear but the background images are very grainy. When I'm watching football and they zoom back and show all the players their helmets and hands are actually blurry. I have played around with the settings and nothing seems to help.

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.

Great value!!

I am truly impressed with the value this TV offers. Picture quality is WELL above comparable TVs in other brands. Smart TV features are plentiful and run well. Features like both Dolby Vision and HDR10 at this price point is amazing. Full array backlit LED is welcome as well and the contrast is impressive. Remote is a bit cheap but it gets the job done. All in all I doubt there is a better TV for the money to be found.

I bought this in may and at first it seemed like a great buy, until I got to gaming on it, which is mainly why I bought a big TV such as this, and the TV flickers so badly. Tried different ports, still flickered. Great for watching TV. Not for gaming

Clarity and detailed

Rich colors, great definition, and clear. Blacks are solid you can watch this tv in the dark easily with no color problem. The bad is the smart and smartcast features, it wont sync or catch to router. I use my fire stick which fixes the smart feature issues. Good budget 4k buy.
