It's been a week

I purchased the 75" TV things have been pretty nice I do wish the TV could remember my email address so I don't have to enter it so much but other than that so far so good! Oh and it takes 2 people to set this television up from start to finish or you'll damage the TV just loading it into the vehicle and if not then it can happen just taking the TV out of the box!

Can't beat the picture or price

I bought my 2nd Visio about a month ago. Absolutely love it. I bought a 4K 60 inch and it has all bells and whistles, and has a better picture than more expensive TV's. I'm hey make a quality product. My 1st Visio is still working perfectly after 10 years. It's our bedroom TV.

Love it

I bought this tv at the beginning of this apocalypse and it has been my only form of entertainment to keep me off mind numbing apps. The only app it is missing for me is Spotify. Such a good tv and great way to get my mind off the covid craze. Thanks Vizio!

Great quality!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was at the store and was looking at all the TVs and the quality of the picture was awesome! I love all the extras that come with owning a Vizio! Now I have one in my bedroom and a 65 in in my living room! I will always own a Vizio!!

A lot of TV for not a lot of $

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To put this review in context, we already own three other Vizio TVs - a 75" P-Series, a 75" M-Series, and a 70" E-Series (as well as multiple 3.1 and 5.1 soundbars and Crave Pro smart speakers). First impressions on opening the box are this is more of the same - a sleek modern design with the typically excellent fit and finish we have come to expect of Vizio products. The bezel is extremely thin with a very attractive brushed finish, so no distractions from glare or reflections from lights. The feet are the same concept throughout all the various series, again a matt black finish to ensure they don't detract from the viewing experience. The main difference between the V-Series and the other more expensive models is the materials are plastic rather than metal, but that is to be expected at this price point. Visually however, it's impossible to tell and is no less pleasing to look at. The remote control is very similar to the ones we have for the other TVs but it has had an update and redesign with additional buttons and pleasingly, it now has a flat base so rests in a horizontal position, rather than dipping down at the front. Oh, and before I forget, the bag the TV comes in with the grab handles is an ingenious idea. It makes it easy for one person to remove it from the box, without having to try and stretch your arms around each side. The power, input and volume controls are all on the rear of the TV - which is how the bezel is able to be so thin - and gives it a very clean look. In 5 years though I don't think we've ever touched the controls on any of the TVs - we use the remote, a phone/tablet (SmartCast Mobile), or Google Assistant to control them all. Also on the rear are all the inputs and outputs you will ever need: a coaxial input for cable or satellite, composite analog input and audio output (it's debatable whether anyone uses those these days), an optical output for a receiver or soundbar, an ethernet port (although it has wi-fi built in so likely won't be used), a USB port for playing media from a thumb drive, and three HDMI ports, one of which is ARC enabled. First power on goes through the standard set up - choosing the language, country, etc. then connect to the network using the built in wi-fi, and finally a software update check. A couple of updates were required which took around 10 minutes to complete and then the TV was ready to use. Out of the box, the display is set to "Bright" mode. I always find this a little bit too vivid and artificial and as all of our TV watching is in the evening, it's just too intense. Fortunately, Vizio TVs have built in pre-set modes and "Calibrated Dark" is the one all of our TVs are set to. A quick word on the menu operation - it's one of the easiest I've used: simple, straightforward, and intuitive. It just works. The picture quality across all of the various inputs is superb - sharp and clear, good colour rendition, and decent blacks, and as it's 4K Ultra HD, incredibiy detailed. Blu-ray is particularly impressive but even the various streaming services produce great depth with no smearing or streaking. The huge number of built in apps such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ AppleTV, etc. makes finding and viewing content simple and avoids the need to cast from a device to the TV, although you can still do that if you wish. There's also a dedicated set of free channels, as well as Crackle, Pluto TV, and others, so you don't need to subscribe to multiple paid services to find something to watch. The one thing this TV doesn't have is a dedicated HDMI input for gaming, but at my age, any kind of input lag is the least of my problems when battling hordes of zombies! Sound is adequate considering the size of the speakers - you're not going to get any room shaking bass but it is clear and there is an option to enhance the dialogue. There is also the choice of surround sound mode or equalizer, allowing you to fine tune the overall sound. To really do the picture quality justice though, you need to upgrade to an external soundbar (or receiver and speakers), which is what we'll be doing. The USB port which allows you to play audio, videos, and still pictures is handy ... perfect for slideshows on those family get togethers which everyone loves ;-) Yes, if you put this TV side by side with a P series then you can see where the extra expense is involved, but if you were to do a blind comparison with a similar sized M series then you would be hard pushed to tell the difference. Overall, for the price, this TV is incredible value for money and performs way better than I expected. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one.

Good TV for the price

The picture quality for this TV good for the price point. The sound quality is below average. I am going to have buy an external soundbar to get the sound quality up to what I would expect. I think most of newer thin TVs have sacrificed the sound quality (small speakers) to gain a sleeker device. I like my new TV and I have had good service out of Vizio TVs in the past.

Features are awesome

The features on this particular TV are really incredible but also lacking. For example, I have Hulu with the HBO Max add on. In order for me to watch anything from HBO Max, I have to pull it up on my phone through the HBO app and screencast it. This is simply because I do not have the option of downloading the app on the TV.

Great television

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this a year ago for my mom for Christmas! She enjoys the excellent picture quality. I hooked up my ps5 and the gaming engine for the tv does not disappoint and really shows its power! I may buy another for me!

Awesome TV

So, just to give a quick history, I've been buying Vizio since 2007. That 32inch is still working today with no issues. Now that I have this 65in, I'm in heaven family movie night even, parties with friends make everything easier. I want to thank the company for making this amazing TV.

Very happy

I looked at smaller Samsung TV's than my V series 58 inch that all cost more. The 4k picture is great, smartcast is really cool, setup was fairly straight forward, Sound is pretty good. Simple remote control. Much higher quality and features than my last TV.
