Nope don't like it

I do not like this TV I bought it maybe a month ago and it continues to update randomly and it takes forever to update it's does not have Starz app I do not like the fact that we have to screen mirror in order to watch apps that are not on the TV it should be able to be downloaded the TV freezes stuck on loading screen takes about 30 minutes you will have to unplug it to reset the TV in order for it to work I actually hate this TV wish I could find a receipt to take it back I would recommend TCL do not buy this TV

Less than bargained for

I bought this several months back. So far, the HULU app on it freeZes every 10 minutes and takes 30-45 seconds to restart from the same spot. The SmartCast tools don't work half the time. Many times I have to restart the entire TV to get my apps to come up. Pretty disappointed and I doubt that's going to change.

Great !!

I had a very expensive 4K UHD tv and my son threw a toy into it and it broke the screen and made lines up and down it. So I bought this one to replace whT was broken and it's an excellent tv for the money !! I would recommend buying one . I've had it for a couple weeks and I'm still learning all it can do . It comparison to the other one it's great !!

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.

Features are fine, sound not so great

Bought the TV several weeks ago, easy to set up, although there were some issues but the VIZIO representative was able to talk me through it. One thing that is lacking is the sound. Our previous TV had great sound, only needed the volume to be 30, this TV has the sound system at the bottom & does not project into the room, we need to set the volume at 80 to hear it properly.

Great tv when it wants to work

Love the colors the out put the sound but I've recently had problems when connecting anything to hdmi ports at times when not in use I'd turn my tv on and use the device hooked up to that hdmi port and I'd get a blank screen with only sounds of my device . I would then have to continuously unplug the tv and device from the tv it's self and wait a few seconds reconnect everything and sometimes I'd have to do this about 4 times

Great picture quality and awesome add-ons

I purchased one... and if it means anything, I went out about 4 days later and bought a 2nd one for another room in my home! The picture quality is beautiful! The connectivity from a laptop or MacBook is very simple and amazing - giving me access to the tons of movies & photos I have stored on computer drives. The amount of input options: HDMI, USB, etc. connections are many. I honestly can't say enough good things about this product!! Then to give even more than they already do, they go above and beyond and offer free "Pluto" service! The FREE channel options are amazing and plentiful. It allowed us to finally cut out the cable company's over-priced channel services and now we get a much higher speed-only internet for even cheaper than before! Also, the direct connectivity to all the Pay-to-view platforms out there like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Disney+, Apple TV, HBO, CBS, etc. is unmatched. A truly great product for a reasonable price..AMAZING!

It's huge!!

It is a huge upgrade from my old 50” and I love this much better, feels like u in a movie theatre but in a small room lol, it great for movies, I also tried it out on gaming console and it is awesome. Picture quality is sharp and vibrant colors, sound quality is good, I'm thinking about adding surround sound bar to give it a bass theatre feel. I always wonder if the manufacturers would implicate subwoofer built into tv *thinking* idk if it possible but it would be awesome to have that set of feature in options.

Not so Good!

I got the Vizio a week ago and I am not very happy with it! This is the 4th Vizio that I have had and I loved them all. The last one I had only lasted 3 years ....don't know why but I thought maybe they don't make things to last anymore so I purchased a new one and had my IT guy to set it up for us. We cannot get the TV or the cable tv imput to bring up the regular tv, we can use the smartcast but that is about all. Never had this trouble with the old ones we had. Also the picture is not as clear as the older ones. It was perfect on the old one except the screen started going black so we got a new one. Please help us! tv
