I love this TV

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this TV about a year ago and I absolutely love it. It loads quick, the resolution is incredible for the price, and I'm able to connect it to my smart home features. Whenever people ask about TVs I always recommend Vizio as I will now be a customer for life.

Really good but not Great!

Overall we really love our Vizio vs our other TV's.... Every PRO comes with a CON. The smart TV features are really good And we've essentially replaced our Apple TV...CON: Sometimes movies and shows just stop playing And if you binge watching you lose your place. In store picture quality & home viewing picture quality are 2 different things. So in the store mode this TV shows these amazing crystal clear slo-mo videos of water droplets spewing through the air. CON When watching a 4k video at home it doesn't look anything like the store mode visuals and I cant replicate what Ive seen in the store. All in all it is a nice TV at a good price... If you have a 1080 smart TV with similar features OR a 1080 TV with a NEW Apple TV theres really no beed to buy this TV unless you're upgrading Or if its your first TV.

I bought this 65 inch about 2 weeks ago the cord that plugs into the actual tv doesn't fit correctly too loose so it cuts off if the cord is moved at all, very annoying!! Also its suppose to be a smart tv but after a week none of my apps work thru just the tv I have to use the roku and 2 remotes one came with tv for volume other roku very disappointing!!

Great TV!

This is a great television and has been very enjoyable with a nice, clear picture. It's also nice to not need a separate device for my streaming apps. The only issue I have is with the remote control, which leaves much to be desired. The select button requires a firm pressing. If your used to sensitive buttons that respond instantly, you will find your show continuing although you thought you hit pause.

Excellent tv with minor issues (so far)

I bought this tv less than a year ago after I saw my brother with a Vizio with chrome cast built in. I had to have it and bought one as soon as I got back to Jersey. Didn't use it much at first. Fast forward 6months and it gets used daily. Then all the sudden it won't turn on and stay on. It kept rebooting itself over and over. Odd thing was, it would show a picture if I held the power button on the remote down. Did some searching and found this to be relatively common. Took the steps many people said with releasing the residual energy inside and nothing worked. Last attempt was to unplug for 24 hours and let sit. Plugged it back in the next day and thankfully it started working normal again. Haven't had any more issues since that happened about a month ago. I also bought a 65” before that happened so I'm hoping I don't have the same issue there. Overall they are excellent smart tvs with a lot of functionality. I was happy when AirPlay was added but unfortunately it only works on my 65” even tho there is a menu for it on my 50”. Quality to price Vizio is an excellent tv brand. Just hope I don't have any more issues

Picture Quality is amazing

I've had Vizios for such a long time that I absolutely love them. This one is the best hands down from any TV I've ever owned. The picture is CRISP. The Sound is phenomenal! It was very easy to assemble & get going. The remote is Pretty slick and it works as a PS4 remote, which i thought was super cool!

V505-H9 2020 model 50 inch 4k TV

Finally , been waiting to do this ,...here goes ,... Vizio V505 H9 2020 model TV Bad stuff first , in case you don't read the whole thing . SmartCast 4.0 youtube app. does NOT play all HDR videos on youtube, as HDR . Some play in Normal mode , thus washed out looking . In particular , HDR videos from Jacob and Katie Costa Rica 4k HDR only plays as SDR Normal and looks really pale . The TV will NOT queue it up as HDR . However, All other youtube apps in other TVs and devices play the above youtube video as HDR . SmartCast 4.0 youtube app. needs to be look at . On a positve note , SmartCast 4.0 Netflix app. plays Dolby Vision very , very nice . youtube app plays HLG videos . 4 corner ghosting is visible when Sold color fills entire screen( same as with 2019 V-Series TV ) . At far left and right sides some of the Vertical Frame Work is visible when a Solid color fills the entire screen. Some delicate movie scenes reveal the above two conditions( corners and Frame Work ) Inside the Left and Right side areas are each filled with a single large pale blotch on each side . To hide it from view, view the Screan Head On . A Ceiling light near the screen increases contrast and further hides the 2 large inner pale areas of the Left and Right sides of the inner Frame Work . I am assuming this is a QA QC kind of thing of the materials and not a Defect . ( I never noticed that on the 2019 V-series TV ) The large pale areas are easily seen when standing above the screen and looking down on the screen when Solid Dark color fills the entire display . All Pixels work . No Dead pixels , No bright pixels . Also the Panel Checks Clean , No Dirty Screen Effect , as tested with youtube videos . Thus the 2 large pale areas are a mystery . White Balance calibration has 20 points . 2019 V-series TVs had 11 point calibration . colors and Tones are accurate out of box . i have not adjusted white balance ( No need to ) . Display is vibrant with excellent black levels and excellent black bars during wide screen movies and excellent black side bars during 4:3 programs . Computer use is very nice . Video card using 8 bit RGB 4:4:4 Full , Standard definiton : TV set to : HDMI input version 2.1 Backlight 3 Brightness 50 Contrast 50 ( with RGB input , TV Locks Out Contrast setting ) Color Level 50 Tint 0 Sharpness 0 Color Temp Normal Aspect ratio Normal Low Latency sync On Game HDR On Gamma 1.8 All remaining Picture settings are OFF . Plenty of Luminosity for Dolby Vision and HDR10 . Tone Mapping picture adjustment becomes available with HDR. HDR10 , HDR10+ , Dolby Vision , HLG , FilmMaker Mode IR remote is omni-directional ( nice ). point remote anywhere. 120 hz refresh rate at 1920 x 1080 ( computer DeskTop and games ) 3840 x 2160 max refresh rate 60 hz all 3 HDMI inputs support these formats : 8 bit RGB 4:4:4 Full 8 bit YCbCr 4:4:4 ( 8 10 12 ) bit YCbCr 4:2:2 8 bit RGB 4:4:4 limited ( 8 10 12 ) bit YCbCr 4:2:0 SmarCast 4.0 and Netflix streams Dolby Vision with Dolby Audio on the Optical output ( requires external Dolby decoder ). Been using Turtle Beach DSS2 box with headphones . Antenna TV gives Dolby audio on Optical output . Full gray Tone detail is decernable when Brightness is set to 50, on the computer . Making gray images , i can see down to Black Level 2 . Then level 1 and 0 are both full black . That is some Excellent black gradient detail . This TV has some amazing gray scale Tone visibitly with SDR and HDR . Witcher 3 computer game requires it's own setting: Backlight 30 Brightness 46 Contrast is Locked out , with RGB input signal . Tint 0 Sharpness 0 Color Temp Normal gamma 1.8 ( I use gamma 1.8 for All my presets ) Everything else is OFF TV channels : Backlight 3 or 10 Brightness 50 Contrast 50 or possibly 40 Color Temp Normal gamma 1.8 Everything else is OFF All My presets reflect the approach to make the image with a natural smooth gradient , like that from natural lighting . The TV can play blazingly bright , which is too intense , especially for computer use . See my computer preset for SDR Desktop use . Computer use and HDR . only use HDR when a program needs it . For everything else , keep the desktop in SDR mode , with HDR OFF . SDR programs and desktop should NOT use HDR. Thin bexel . 50 inch has a viewable 49.5 inch . Not perfect . 1 star drop for the corner ghosting and Frame Work see thru visiblitlty . And for the 2 Large pale areas of the Left and Right interiour halves of the screen . If i had a decent camera i would send you a pic of the paleness . Fortunately the pale areas are NOT visible during normal viewing . In Picture settings , it says : ProGaming Engine for Low Latency and Game HDR settings . Signal processing for image quality in this TV is improved from 2019 V-series TVs. Amazing Engineering . I never use the built in picture presents as they are too intense. The Backlight is cranked to 100 % ,... I never do that . Also the built in presets use Color Temp Warm . Use Normal , so White is White , and not some redish sepia . I have NOT used it's WIFi .I have NOT tried to Cast to this TV. 3 HDMI inputs all 3 are version 2.1 ( you can select version 1.4 if you want ) with HDCP 2.2 , 1 USB input , 1 Yellow Composite video input with RCA stereo audio input jacks . RCA stereo output audio jacks .. No video Component input . No computer VGA input. No DVI input . ATSC 1.0 TV Tuner . Nice for a TV , computer monitor and Streaming display . Many built in Streaming apps . Apps are NOT user downloadable . No Web Browser . The Vizio remote control from a 22 inch TV from year 2014 works with this TV . The only function it can't do is the Info button . It does everything else ! I'm surprised by that . The 2014 remote lets me navigate every menu for setup , even SmartCast 4.0 to select and play a streaming app. While at Netflix , the 2014 remote controls the Netflix app. The 2014 remote also has the same omi-directional range, thus this Range is because of the excellent IR receiver in the TV.

This is a great TV and an excellent price!

The TV is great would like to see the streaming offerings updated faster, because I am looking forward to being able to add HBO Max. I am really pleased with this TV and how well it does stream different services, would like to see, as new ones are offered, that they App is added as an option sooner.

Great TV for an excellent price

After a few years of putting off upgrading to a larger 4K Smart TV, I am very happy with both the quality and the price of this model. I have been using a 48" 1080p up to this point, and to go to a 65" 4K has been an amazing change. The Smart TV features are easy to navigate and it comes with plenty of optional features like enabling Alexa or Google so that you can give your TV voice commands. I have not utilized these features yet, but it shows that there is plenty to offer here. The quality is also great while watching movies or playing games.

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!
