Great picture and fairly simple to set up

The picture is great. The simple buttons to access Prime, Netflix, etc. are fantastic. So simple and so quick. We had issues with the picture and the sound not synced. There is a Lip Sync setting (I've never heard of that one). I adjusted all the way up and all the way down but it didn't help. Out of desperation to avoid returning it, I dug in to all of the settings and finally found one that got it on track under the audio section. An owner's manual would have helped. Fortunately I found some info on line and I appreciate the lack of paper for recycling purposes but an owners manual being included is pretty much mandatory. Now that it's all set up, we really like it

Great picture, but...

Just picked up the new VIZIO V-Series 50" and the resolution is perfect, sound is great, but the smartcast feature is shaky at best. When attempting to first run my tv, the tv wouldn't connect, then after getting connection to the WiFi, I was able to get Amazon Video and Netflix setup, but after attempting to setup Hulu the entire smartcast system stopped working and, while netflix and Amazon Video still work, no other hotkey (VUDU/Disney+/Redbox/Hulu) or the smartcast homescreen work. I have tried multiple factory resets, soft restarts and nothing fixes the SmartCast features. I'm going to try and call customer support this afternoon, but I am about ready to return the TV.

Chromecast, Airplay, HDR, and Disney+!

This TV replaces a 60” tv that did not have Chromecast, Airplay, HDR, or Disney+. This solved a lot of my problems. I had a dongle for Chromecast on the old TV that had to be rebooted occasionally. I had to use Chromecast from my phone to show Disney+ for the grandkids and couldn't leave the room with my phone. I had some 4K movies that always recommend HDR when I would play them. All problems addressed with this purchase. It comes with a lot of free channels over the Internet. I also plugged in an HD indoor antenna to get a bunch of local channels. The TV plugged into my old VISIO sound bar just fine. Like most big screen TVs, you'll get an improvement in sound with an external speaker system. The price for this was great. You'll have to pay a much higher price to get a higher refresh or better picture on such a quality TV.

Satisfied with purchase

Purchased the 65 inch Visio for the family room to replace the 55 inch Visio that was purchased over 10 yrs ago. Truly enjoying the same great quality in a bigger package with more features. Excellent picture quality and outstanding sound quality. Great price and truly happy with my purchase

Lots of great apps and easy to use!

I bought this about 2 weeks ago and it's a good product at an affordable price point. It only downside is it lighting array being on the low side (less bright) but thats to be expected with UHD versus QLED & OLED technology. Nonetheless, great for gaming on xbox and other gaming systems.

Great features, easy navigation, wonderful picture

I bought this a few weeks ago after comparing similar brands and finding this to be the most "bang for your buck". I was hesitant about a Vizio at first but what I quickly realize, they did not hesitate when designing this thing. Remote makes it extremely easy to go right into apps like Netflix and Prime Video. You can also download their remote on your phone so when the remote goes missing, you can still work the TV. You can also link the tv to alexa, though I find Alexa runs into trouble following commands that arent turn on/off the tv. Setup was a breeze. We received several compliments already about the picture quality. Pros: Price, Features, Picture Cons: Alexa-enabled feature doesn't open specific titles or apps, No voice navigation button.

Killer TV for the size and price

I needed to replace my 40" Samsung that stopped working, and luckily this 50" fit nicely in the cabinet where the Samsung was. Very crisp picture, good sound system, and a very nice 'smart TV' (Smartcast) to easily access Netflix, Amazon and tons of other content out there. Easy to move around being the lightest 50" TV I ever handled.

It's amazing TV for a price

this is the most amazing TV I've ever owned all the other TVs I've ever own I got from relatives but I got this gift and it's been amazing and when you register your TV you get a warranty and that is awesome because I live in Alaska and there are earthquakes

Great value, easy setup and great picture quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our main TV in the living room is a Visio 75" and we liked that one so much we bought a 50" for the bedroom. Great picture quality very easy to setup and to update as they are available. Remote is easy to navigate too.

I would buy another

Some of the display settings are disabled in game mode. It's sometimes glitching. The power button doesn't work anymore, but overall the price for the features and size is very reasonable. If you don't mind rebooting the TV every now and then I would buy another
