Always liked VIZIO'S but

Just bought this for myself for Christmas and a few days later I noticed a tiny dot of light on the screen, I really don't want to go through the hassle of taking it back, You can't tell once a show starts, I purchased a warranty so if it becomes a problem I'll get another one, other than that no problems.

Great TV for the Price - Smart apps getting there

For average folks like me, this TV shows a great picture and the smart features are fast and plentiful. I don't have a high end TV with HDR content to compare - but to my eye I'm getting bang for the buck with this TV. SmartCast is getting there - though with some minor frustrations that have included an update that failed installation (right at the start), apps with weird volume issues but only during ads, and AirPlay 2 streaming had some ups and downs. Nevertheless, loading apps is fast and this is the only TV at this price point to give me as many smart features for integrated apps, AirPlay/Chromecast streaming from devices, integration with voice command (e.g. HomeKit), and comes at 43 inches which was my limitation. Plenty of bang for the buck that, hopefully, will only get better as SmartCast gets updated.

Good but sound needs work

The picture is great and so is the refresh rate but the sound is lacking compared to other name brands. It's low and vibrates the tv when you try to up the volume. I know a sound bar could fix this issue but I didn't think the sound would be as it is right out the box.

Hello John 45, 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 855-833-3221. 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.

Never again

Honestly I have love vizio for any other product but this tv I've had nothing but issues with. If its not connecting with the internet then it will not open an app. One thing after another. I've had to hard reset it several times. I've only had it since December and I want to throw it out the window.

Vizio V-Series

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The change was a surprise for me and so far quite the pleasant one. I actually prefer the old look but maybe I'm just fighting change. Like I said this change is good so far and I do expect it to remain good!!

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.

Love the apps,but built-in speakers need help.

I now have (3) Vizio TVs and for the most part am happy with them. I must say though, the built-in speakers aren't so good. You absolutely MUST add a sound bar if you want to clearly hear voices. Cranked up to 60, I still struggled I also think you should include the wall mount screw hole spacing dimensions on the outside of box. That would be helpful.

It is alright

I bought this tv a month ago. The airplay and chrome cast don't work as easily as expected and sometimes there is a problem with the picture in that, the picture goes to four smaller squares each playing the same thing. If this does continue i will have to use the warranty. For the price add a warranty and you won't be disappointed!

Great quality picture

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought it about 1 year ago and it still has the amazing qualities it did after a year. The picture is still clear and beautiful. Sits nicely on my tv stand and so light weight even a senior citizen like myself can set up. The controls are easy and understandable also.

Possibly the worst purchase of my life

This TV literally disconnect for the internet twice a day. Videos will play in the background and the TV will switch to the Home Screen while leaving the video playing. We have to manually reset the TV at least twice a day due it freezing on a black screen.
