Great TV

Had the TV for 3 weeks now and I performs great and all the options for channels are awesome. Colors and clarity are what I was hoping for. WiFi connection works perfectly as long as spectrum doesn't go down (not the TV's fault). This is exactly what I was wanting and will purchase another in the future. Have always used Vizio tv's and the smart TVs option is great.

Disappointing

The tv is ok picture and yea unity but the speakers are so low quality I had to use a sound bar with it. Luckily I had one so I didn't have to buy one but it was very disappointing I have only ever bought vizio tv's. The last one was 2 years ago. I was saddened at the decreased quality.

Concerns

We bought 2 of these and with in the 2 weeks we have owned them we had to reset on of them once and 2 times on the other because there was no sound when the TV was turned on. You also have to turn the volume number up in the 40's/50's to hear if not higher. Other than that we have enjoyed the picture.

Somewhat disappointed

Not sure why you would make a TV where the consumer is unable to download the apps they want on their TV. I have MANY unwanted apps already loaded to this TV that I will NEVER use and can't download the apps I want and use all the time. It is a nice TV but I will NEVER buy another one.

Hello Smoore1, 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. 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.

Easy setup, loaded with features, great picture

Loved how easy to setup this tv was and connect it with my new sound bar too. The built in speakers were a little better than I expected, but I wasn't going to use them anyway. Picture settings had some great options that I enjoyed trying out. Loved having an hdmi arc port to connect to the sound bar making it simple setup and great sound. I love being able to plug my fire tv stick into the back and being able to control all the options on it, as well as volume and settings of tv and sound bar all with the one vizio remote.

Great TV, but needs some tweaks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with this TV so far. However, there are some small issues that continue to bother me. Pros: - Cost. - Looks great and functions as it should. - Plenty of settings options to make it your own. Cons: - The soundbar and TV do not sync in a very intuitive way. - The sound settings do not stay saved. - The picture is lacking in some areas, like depth of blacks.

Best upgrade

In 2015 I bought myself a M Series 4K 50 inch Vizio. This year I felt like I finally needed the upgrade and when bigger and newer model. The V series did not disappoint! Quality is gorgeous and the size makes me feel in my own personal theater room! Vizio did not let me down for five years. So my loyalty is definitely with them!

No quality sound

I purchased and setup. My first disappointment was not all apps are available. You will need a streaming device to connect. I assumed by this being such a popular brand I would find almost everything I needed on this tv. Once I set everything up with cable, apps, and all. Got ready to watch a movie and NO SOUND. Let me say there was sound but it was like they were whispering and if you turned it up it sounded like busted speakers. So you will also need a sound bar. Decided to return. Great picture, some apps missing, but sounds issues are a deal breaker for me.

Misleading & disappointing

I bought a vizio smartcast TV assuming that with the cast feature built in I would be able to quickly & easily mirror my phone screen on my new TV. This is not the case. Unlike my much older LG smart tv which allows me to mirror my phone screen & stream apps on my phone such as hulu & Netflix using just my data the vizio smartcast requires that you have wifi & that both the phone & the TV be connected to the same network. On top of that you have to go through the steps of pairing your phone to the TV. The smartcast has also seemed to have many glitches since we purchased it not even a year ago. Currently altho my other apps are working Netflix & Hulu are not working. I've tried factory reset, soft power cycling both the TV & router. Nothing seems to fix the issue with only these two apps. All my other apps are streaming just fine & I have found nothing on their website to help me resolve the issue. I regret purchasing the Smartcast TV the only thing good I have to say about it is it was a great price but clearly you get what you pay for.

Love this TV!

This might be the best TV I have ever purchased . The picture is great. The sound is also great for me but might not be for others. What I personally like is that I can clearly hear the voices of people on the screen. I have hearing problem and in my previous TV I had to turn the volume way up just to hear what people were saying. Even then, it was difficult. With this TV, there is a setting that makes it much easier to hear what is being said. Also, everything seems to be so easy and work seemlessly with Vizio TVs. What I love the most is how I can control the Apple TV with the Vizio remote and not need to use the actual Apple remote at all. Vizio just makes things so easy!
