Great purchase!

We are very pleased with this tv! Totally recommend it. Arrived quickly and was not damaged. We stream YouTube tv and it has a LOT of streaming features on it besides the one we need. Some I have never heard of before. This is our first smart tv and we are very pleased. Before we had 3 remotes and now with this tv, we are back to one remote and I love that! Clear picture and sound.

Great news is Vizio support

Great news is Vizio support...I just didn't expect to have to call them. Purchased for my elderly mothers living room. The TV has a very nice picture for regular TV viewing (can't speak to gaming) and is offered at a super price. Mom has DISH, and the only thing we had to do was go to TV setup and program her DISH remote because, oddly, all worked except the volume control. This is a DISH remote issue, not the TV. However, about a week later the audio went off completely! She called DISH, and their diagnostics said it was the television this time and to call Vizio. Mom isn't good with online tech support, so she only had closed caption for a couple days until I could visit and assist. I called Vizio and they said it was a “rare” problem but they had a fix...took less than 5 minutes total. All we did was completely unplug the power cord, press and hold the power button on back of TV for 5 seconds to reset, and plug back in. Voila! Has worked beautifully in 2 weeks since, but I was unsettled and nervous about having such as issue with a brand new television. Interestingly, my husband said we had the same exact issue on a new Vizio about 3 years prior which I didn't know about. One iota of problem and I'm taking this baby back for refund within 12 mo period...but I hope it doesn't come to that. Because of Vizio's excellent and responsive tech support, I'm holding fast. We own 4 other Vizio models that have performed beautifully.

Sorry I brought it.

It has a good picture easily to use. But I only had the tv about a week and when it came back from a adv. it would come back black with voice. Then it started comming back with no voice and black On regulator tv I had no trouble. I got in touch with a expert and he told me to turn off the tv and unplug it and it started to work fine again. It still happens but I know what to do now

Easy install

This is our second Vizio smart tv. Not because one stopped working, but because we were so happy with the one in the living room that we purchased a second one for the family room. You would think we spent 3x the price for the tv we got. Great purchase!

Vizio TV

Price was good, TV is nice and light. Picture ok, but not happy with the sound. I have to turn the volume up to hear people speaking but if cuts to music , the music is blasting and I have to turn the sound down. Very frustrationg to watch something like that. I guess it could be solved by adding external speakers.

Loved my OLD Vizio...

Great picture, some common big name apps unavailbe.. which means I'm still having to use a streaming device in addition to the "Smart" TV. The audio while using any apps on the TV is terrible, have to turn it up to 50+ to hear any dialog(people speaking) then back down to 20 when ANYTHING else happens within the movie/show. *Note* the audio is more balanced if using a Roku or other streaming device- problem seems to exist within the TV's apps, however, upon calling Vizio customer support it is "normal" to need to increase and decrease volume drastically and continuously during any program... Loved my older Vizio smart tv... this one I'm pretty disappointed in..

Hello Jason, thank you for your feedback today. 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. It is possible for there to a volume difference between different sources and content as well. When there is a difference in those volume levels, we would recommend to access the TV's audio settings and enabling the Volume Leveling feature. If you’d like any help taking advantage of all the options VIZIO has to enjoy your content, our customer service team would be happy to speak with you at 844-254-8087.

Terrible audio

I will start with saying that I was so excited to finally purchase my first Vizio smart tv. I heard so many great things about the picture being so clear. Well the setup was easy and the picture is great but the sound is terrible. It has a muffled sound. I purchased a 50 inch tv but the sound doesn't fit with the size. It sounds like a cracker box. Vizio has got to do better with the sound of their TVs.

reply from Supplier Response

Hello Donna, as televisions continue to have larger screens with thinner profiles and sleeker bezels, there is less room for large speakers. To help get the best audio quality out of your VIZIO televisions speakers, we’ve included settings like DTS Studio Sound to provide the highest performance possible, while maintaining the thin, sleek, bezel-less profile of your television. If you’d like any help adjusting your audio settings feel free to contact VIZIO support at 844-254-8087.  For top of the line audio performance, you may also look into purchasing a VIZIO Sound Bar, there are several models available with wireless subwoofers for enhanced bass, rear speakers for true surround sound, and our new line of Atmos Sound Bars.

Disappointing sound quality and return experience

The audio on this tv was terrible. Voices sounded muffled and were drowned out by any background music. We returned the tv to the store. They issued a refund, but did not have a replacement in stock, nor could they get us a replacement for the same cost.

Had problem, got resolved and love the replacement

I had 1 shipped to my house. It had a couple of issues with the screen itself. There were white pixels outside the screen border and a black test screen was very blotchy. I contacted Sam's Club, and received a replacement quickly. Overall the new one is a great picture for the cost.

Good tv but poor sound

Great price, quality image, simple & intuitive smart controls, lots of apps... The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the sound is really mediocre! It sounds tinny and cheap, definitely low quality. This can be fixed with a sound bar, but unfortunately I wasn't planning on having to buy one of those when we purchased this.
