Great features

I've had the tv for about a year now and honestly I love it. It's the perfect size for my room, the visuals are fantastic, and it has all of the apps and features I love such as netflix, hulu, redbox, and there is a feature to airplay from on of my devices onto my tv! I love it.

Always liked VIZIO'S but

Just bought this for myself for Christmas and a few days later I noticed a tiny dot of light on the screen, I really don't want to go through the hassle of taking it back, You can't tell once a show starts, I purchased a warranty so if it becomes a problem I'll get another one, other than that no problems.

Great product.

This tv really lives up to all of it's amazing reviews. I searched high and low for a good screen and this one looked great and within a very reasonable budget. You get more than what you pay for. Color, quality, all great. We are very happy with the purchase.

For the first year it was great...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the first year the TV worked great. I had absolutely no issues. However, pretty much as soon as the warranty expired, the TV started acting wonky. It's at the point that it has to be unplugged and plugged back in every few days or else it stops working right. It just stays on a blank screen without bringing up the home screen. Even when you change it from energy saving to hard restart, it still has this issue. I had a different Vizio TV previously this that never had these issues, even after 3 years. Pros: When it worked right, the aps loaded immediately. The screen stays clear and has a good resolution. I had no issues with internet connect, both hardline and wifi were good. The menu is fairly easy to work with. Everything is setup so that you can easily access whatever you need to in the menu. Cons: (Besides previously mentioned) The main cons are the app limitations. First, there is no way to download apps, update them, or clear their cache. You just have to wait for Vizio to add any new apps in a future update for the TV. It took almost a year after HBOMax came out for the app to even be added. The set up to arrange the apps in the list are also a problem. You can't remove any apps from the app row. You're stuck with ALL of them. When trying to arrange them, the TV has issues with freezing up because there too many items in the list to move them around without the TV struggling with its lack of memory. This means that in order to adjust what apps appear first in the lineup, you end up spending 30-45 minutes just trying to get everything set up the way you want to. There are about 50 apps that I've never even opened in this menu, but I have to deal with the lag issues because they can't be removed. When you start having memory issues with aps, it's hard to get around them. If there was a way to uninstall and install them so that you could clear the cache, the majority of these problems would probably go away. The last is the connection issues with Alexa. Ironically enough, I've found that it has everything to do with Vizio side. Every week or so, the TV loses connection with Alexa, and it's always on the TV side. Either the TV suddenly forgets it has a connection, or the website drops the TV from being registered from my account.

Hello Sabriel, Sorry to hear you are not having a smooth experience. I would love the opportunity to have our technical support team learn more about the issues you are experiencing. You are not able to manually download additional apps, however new apps are added to the platform often with firmware updates. 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. To clear the app cache, navigate to Menu > Admin & Privacy. There you find the ability to reset the TV's apps. When you have a free moment, our support team is available through text message, chat, or over the phone. Just go to support.VIZIO.com and click on ‘Contact Us’.

Very disappointed

the TV has worked fine since November 2020 and suddenly didn't react to any input from remote or the unit itself. Screen went black and only voice. After doing the standard troubleshooting from the internet, screen went into a changing dark to white lines pattern. Only On and OFF works. No reset or anything else works. It is VERY disappointing!

Nice well rounded 4k set

Overall very good ser for the price range. the smart tv interface is very good and easy to navigate and its very "smart"...the picture detail is wonderful...got 4 stars only because the dynamic range in terms of the blacks is not that wide in the spectrum and color debt is not the best...but honestly if you want those features better you need a 1000 price range set...but not to say it's bad in any way still a great picture...games look amazing on the set, which is mainly what is was acquired for...Vizio gives you a great price tag for the features of some more expensive brand sets...great bang for the buck...so far so good

I absolutely loved this TV until it got lines

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was an amazing TV at an amazing value. When I moved we were incredibly careful with it, and when I turned it on it had numerous black horizontal lines that will not go away. I wish the TV was designed a little more durable.

The tv is nice but

The tv is nice, but the volume is not very loud, the remote isn't user friendly, I have an antenna attached to my television and my remote to my other tv has a "tv" icon on the remote so when you want to watch antenna tv you just hit the icon. Other than that I've had the tv for less than a month and haven't had any problems with it
