Unpleasant

So I caught sight of this particular series of Vizio off a few websites and decided to give it a try. I had an LG 55” I was swapping out after 12 years. It was an amazing TV, LED/LCD hybrid. So after doing a lot of research I decided to make the purchase on the V series of Vizio. Within my first 2 days of owning the TV it froze on the main screen and wouldn't transition to anything else. Since that moment it continues to freeze on me at least 1 time a week consistently and I have to end up unplugging it and waiting 10 seconds to plug it back in. I've owned this TV for about 6 months. I may end up back with LG. I have checked firmware and all updates and all the software are up to date. Not sure yet what I will do but so far I am not recommending this TV brand.

Easy to navigate

After I owning this tv for a country of days I'm finding it easier to navigate around. The picture is clear and the sound is better than I thought it would be without a sound bar. The ports on the back are also in a place that is not obscured by the wall bracket unlike my older Vizio that bit it. Excellent price, too. I would definitely recommend this product.

Great Screen. If your a Gamer, look away

The TV has good colors and gets bright enough to be in all except brighter rooms. Black levels are also pretty good. For whatever reason when there is panning motion(in any direction) you can see these hazy black circular lines across the screen. It's distracting. The speakers are trash. On PS4 Pro you can't adjust any picture setting except brightness and backlight when using the 4k RGB color format but when you switch to 4k YUV420 you can for some reason. In short 4k RGB on PS4 is for SDR games and 4k YUV420 is for HDR. So now your able to adjust your settings but only see the real benefit when playing HDR games as your SDR games will look worse. This is an issue across Vizios more expensive tvs as well and I'm sure it can be fixed through a software update but they haven't done one yet. The screen does look really good once u adjust the settings but if your a gamer dont buy this TV.

Eye popping

My first 4k UHD tv and that pleases me. Have it connected to a xfinity 4k cable box which delivers 4k video and 5.1 audio. Assemble was very simple especially since the TV is so light -- just two legs. The tv is very well packaged for travel and the plastic that the set is wrapped in has built in handles along the topso carrying it around was easy. Much to my delight, the xfinity cable box and the Vizio tv worked together to set up the visual/audio/remote settings nearly without my intervention. Once connected to the internet (WiFi, in my case) the tv preformed a firmware update without my intervention. Setting the video parameters had only one surprise: had to set the "color" to 96/100 level. Delighted. Even got Alexia to connect. Next step is to connect a 3.1 sound bar (using optical) as I want the middle channel for movies.

What a difference!

Well it was time to purchase a new TV for our bedroom according to my wife. We went to the Airforce Base and purchased a 50" Vizio, because it was so lightweight my wife was able to assist with getting it out of the box. I was floored because there was no pedestal stand for the TV....wrong!, they were so small that I missed them, awesome! Did the setup and that was trouble, called in and got the necessary assistance, the picture was horrible then fine, then horrible again so if course I'm thinking I've surely purchased a faulty TV so I'm just gonna take it back for replacement! I started thinking which is generally dangerous but decided that I needed to attempt signal substitution and changed our the old HDMI cable and hallelujah this television was vivid and just impressively beautiful! It was a Vizio that I replaced that we had for over 10 years, it is now my monitor! I love Vizio!

Good Deal

This is a good Television for the money. I am not a big specs person, but the color schematics could be a little better. It doesn't project the sharp High definition you would expect from a Vizio. Lastly, the remote control doesn't cover a long distance. I used the remote control in my living room and pointed it toward the T.V. and every command we gave through the remote it did the opposite. We scroll right the cursor went left. Then when I got about 6 feet from the T.V. it worked well. For the money, you can't beat it.

Great color!

I am so happy I purchased my Vizio Smart TV. I was looking for one that was 70" and this was a perfect fit for my viewing space. Very slim as well and it could also be mounted if thats what you want. I compared the color with other TV's and I liked this one best. I never hear of Vizio until now since my TV was very old but someone recommended it to me and I am very glad they did. I am sure I made the correct choice!

This TV is great itself

I did research to buy an tv for over 1 year. I knew what I needed. The major was to cast easy European channels I've watched on my laptop. HBO Netflix and all channels they show in my country. Back to Visio TV. I was surprised It was so easy to set up. It has plenty movies to watch and for free. With some paid apps people they are tv watchers this Visio TV is a great choice. If some people are picky about quantum or other upgraded things they can buy Visio better series. I'm happy with the V series. Visio is way better than Samsung what most of my friends have. And what most important they way I set the TV l operate with 1 remote control only.
