Nice when it works, Problems already.

Let me start by saying my last Vizio tv (bought in 2014) is amazing!!! It still works really well except the apps don't update so I can't use them which is why I got a new tv also so I could use Apple AirPlay. I bought this TV a little over a month ago and have already had to contact support. The overall tv is nice when it works. The Apple AirPlay is awesome. The colors are great and when it works it's fantastic, although the sound is lacking a bit. The problem with this tv is about 2 weeks after I got it, the apps refused to open unless you pressed the preprogrammed buttons on the remote which only gives access to a few apps. This lasted for about a week then suddenly the tv did a software update and the apps returned to working. Then a week later - almost 30 days from my purchase date - the sound stopped working. No reason. I turned it on and no sound. I restarted the tv, unplugged it and did everything that was suggested to do online. NOTHING! Then I resorted to doing a factory reset and the sound restored, but I had to re-set up everything! This is really concerning for a tv that's a little more than 30 days old.

Fantastic

I love all the features that came with the TV. FREE TV+ is pretty awesome when you don't wanna pay for cable. Also the remote is nice, slim and very light weight. Although I do wish they would have put a grip strip on the back of the remote for it does not stay on the arm rest of my couch or recliner. Minor flaw with the remote but overall a great TV at a great price!!!!

Great picture quality

I bought this tv back in September. The picture is great. The volume tends to go down all on its own. I'll turn it off and on and the volume will fix but this happens often. And the tv will turn off by itself. Also I will get a snow screen when I at least twice a day on it while watching anything.

Great picture but has issues

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Listen the picture is great. I love all the app selections minus a couple you don't have that Apple TV does have. My problems are I hate that I can't favorite or pin apps to the top. So I have to scroll through all these random apps to find what I'm looking for. Second is the smart cast. It doesn't matter that I keep it up to date the smart cast just doesn't work like it should. We enjoy watching our son play his vr on the tv and when we first got it it worked perfectly. Now everytime we try and link there's an error on the tv side.

The features are a big plus

I have only owned the tv a month and it is easy to navigate but the input selection doesn't give you more than a few seconds to select an input before selecting the one you happened to be over while trying to select the correct one. Picture quality is excellent as should be expected on a 4k tv and the sound is very impressive for the small speakers that came installed.

Its an average tv has alot of audio trouble

I bought this a month ago . And am not very thrilled with the audio from the tv I had to take the first one back because it sounded like the speakers were blown out . The second one we had to get a home theater speaker set to help with the audio part . The picture part is pretty good

Great overall

I bought this about last week and I have loved it. Excellent picture and great features nice big screen to watch all day. The only thing I would like personally is I would like the ability to add apps like from the Google store. For me that would bring it all around together.

Awesome Television

The tv was easy to set up, and came with access to many channels. This proved necessary as I needed a tech to set up my cable, and the channels provided entertainment until the tech the day the tech arrived. The size is suitable (43"), easy to set up, and easy enough to connect with cable. I highly recommend Vizio.

Great TV; updates need to be further tested

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this TV for 3 years and it still runs quite well. Overall Vizio makes one of the best TVs out there when considering the price point and feature sets included. I've loved the quality of the TV and operating system. Unfortunately, I have run into OS updates that cause the system to be very sluggish occasionally and support haven't been able to resolve it. For some reason, the roll back to stable OS versions have failed for me in the past. Outside of buggy updates, I'm very happy with Vizio's TV quality.

Great picture for price but...

I bought this about two weeks ago. Easy to setup and great picture for the price but the sound quality of the speakers are very poor. Sound is so low you can't barely hear anything but if you turn the volume all the way up the speakers sound like blown speakers. If I knew the sound was this poor I would not have purchased it.

Hello Batz, 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.Â
