Like it, but it's quirky

Had these two Visio tvs for about a year. Both work well, but both are quirky when streaming. I have a strong, stable wifi signal and Internet connection that I have zero problems streaming on to other devices, but both of my Visio tvs (43" and 68") frequently need rebooting during streaming. Picture will freeze, or drop out completely. No amount of changing settings will fix it (yes, I've performed all the suggested fixes), and rewinding the stream results in a complete loss of control. Only thing that restores function is hitting 'menu' and then 'restart'. The Roku tv we have has none of this problem on the exact same wifi/Internet connection, and it's further from the router than the two Visios. Love the picture quality, and they have amazingly good quality audio, just wish this streaming problem would resolve itself. Would I recommend a Visio tv to a friend? Yes, but with the caution that they may have problems streaming. Connected to DirecTV and even OTH they work fantastic.

Great Picture

I got rid of a 15 year old 48" 1080i Sony with not smart TV options. This is quite a step up with the 58" 4K UHD with smart apps. Still needed a Roku to get some channels but no big deal. Very please with picture etc.After research this was a great price as well.

Ready To Go In Minutes!

My son purchased this for me last month for my birthday and so far I am enjoying watching anything that comes up on the screen. I purchased the Vizio Sound Bar 2.1 a month before I got my new TV and the sound made a big improvement on my old 40" Insignia TV. But now with my Vizio 50" 4K HDR Smart TV & Vizio 2.1 Sound Bar whatever I'm watching looks/sounds great. And watching movies is like sitting inside a big screen movie theatre. Did I must mentioned all the apps already installed and the easy on screen directions to get you all set-up with no stress. Very satisfied customer.

I love it but

I love my new Vizio. gorgeous picture quality, clear sound, and I love the add ons. Being able to control via app means I can turn it on while in another room and cast music etc to the tv. Casting from my phone is especially convenient and fun. What I don't like? Having to hit reset twice in the 1 month since I've had it. That worries me in terms of durability. If i still like it, in 6 mos I'll buy another one for my bedroom.

The TV is ok

I would have given this TV 5 stars but it freezes a lot and the plastic screen makes the pictures look fuzzy. I do like the size and some of the shows that stream in 4k are cool. I'll keep it for a while but will probably purchase a different brand with a glass screen.

Hello Ladygem, 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 TV

I bought this TV a few weeks ago and so far it's better than my last Samsung. The picture quality is crisp and the in apps makes transitioning from app to app very easy. This is my first Vizio and it definitely will not be my last. The only issue I have noticed is sometimes it is difficult to cast from your device to the TV. I'm not sure if it is the signal strength or the device. For now, I will give this Product 4 stars until I determine what the issue is.

Excellent with no problems.

Bought this tv as an upgrade to my mini vizio tv i had. This tv is massively epoch. Bright true colors. Sounds good and no complaints. My only complaint is why not design a remote control that is equally as good? Have the remote light up since it be easier to navigate in the dark. but that us about it...nice and simple.

Great features; bad airplay

Tv is great for price point. Gave away Apple TV bc this comes fully equipped. However, the airplay is pretty bad, either too choppy or just goes out. Had to reset a couple times because it lost connection to the WIFI. But good tv for price point. Quality is decent!

Worst Tv

I bought this tv about a month ago, the picture quality is ok. But for some reason, the volume goes out constantly. I have to literally unplug the entire tv, to let it reboot in order for it to start back working. This is the worst tv I could have purchased!

I wish I had better news...

I originally bought this TV during Black Friday. It was very impressive when it first turned on and did the demo of the picture quality etc. unfortunately there was also a blown pixel that took away some of the excitement. The OS was very glitchy and the TV never fully integrated with the VIZIO soundbar. After a couple of weeks, I contacted customer support and they were very helpful. Within a few minutes, they had placed an order for a new TV. Unfortunately, the new TV also has a blown pixel and still doesn't integrate with the soundbar (it's actually worse) so I will be contacting customer support again. I had high hopes - this is the first time I have purchased a brand new tv and I thought VIZIO would be a good choice.
