A brand I will avoid from now on

The crystal clear 4K display had me excited to replace my 10 year old HDTV. But pretty soon I began to notice the lag time between pushing a button on the remote and seeing the results on the display. Recently, Vizio integrated it's "WatchFree" feature into the broadcast (local antenna) input making it very difficult to navigate the local stations I've watched since I was a kid. No matter how many times I favorite certain channels or remove other channels, Vizio keeps them in the guide along with an excessive amount of advertisements. The TV is buggy as can be, sometimes the sound will stop working until the TV is unplugged and restarted. I've been more impressed with ALL the other streaming hardware brands that Vizio does not want me to mention in a review, and wish I had kept my 'dumb' TV and connected it to one of those products. I already bought the Vizio sound bar (because the built -in speakers are not great) after I bought the TV so I could careless if I win a sound bar.

Love my new tv!

I haven't had an upgrade ever that I've bought in my own until this tv. An I love it!!!!! Smooth format from the different options. Remote control is nice. I do wish it had a microphone it it thought to use speech commands. But other than that the design and overall use I am highly satisfied. It also pairs good with my sound bar.

Perfect

Purchased this unit for a very large room in our home. Price was excellent, setup was a breeze and the picture and functionality outstanding. My better half (who can be a bit discerning) loves the set as well and has commented numerous times about the quality of the picture and how well the set goes within the room. I'd highly recommend this television.

Good for the price

Purchased one month ago. The picture is not as sharp as other brands, but a good product for the price. Also, I wish there was a feature to download more apps. You are limited to the pre-installed apps and any added by Vizio updates. The user has no control over them.

Great Quality If You Are On A Budget

I bought the 65inch from best buy. It works great with Xbox One X and Series S. It does not have VRR (possibly in future firmware) but has great low latency performance. The colors were good in calibrated dark and calibrated. They were even better with HDR content and Dolby Vision. This is not Qled so don't expect the colors to jump off the screen but the colors after I took the time to calibrate each picture mode were well balanced and natural this TV can display movies and games beautifully if you spend the time to adjust the picture or have some one professionally calibrate it. This TV does support hdmi 2.1 for next gen needs. Is this the best tv for gaming and movies ..no but if you are looking for a budget tv with great black levels and plan to play games @ 60fps than this is an awesome choice. If you want 120fps and VRR look at the Vizio m7 Qled or the Vizio P series Qled. If you are a casual gamer or Netflix watcher on a budget than this TV is worth every penny. This TV also upscales 720p and 1080p content to 4k very well.

Vizio has always been my go to!

Just replaced my older 42 inch Vizio, still works great but time for an upgrade as it was over 14 years old! But the system and menus are so easy to navigate and just flat out one of the best tvs for the price in the market , can't go wrong with any Vizio products!!

Love this tv

I had an Insignia LED tv before purchasing this tv. I needed it to replace that tv for a new one. I wanted a Vizio since I already own 2 more vizio tvs. I was looking for the 55” but it was out of stock so I decided to go for the 50. I loved it!!! It took me less than 5 minutes to install it and 10 min to program the tv. It is so light weight. I love the sound and the picture. I mean, it is a Vizio V series nothing fancy, but since I owned a Vizio P series I did not needed something crazy or overboard. I just needed a TV to replace the old one I had, which you can still hear and see but here and there the image on that Insignia will go out only you. Can hear the sound. Anyway, the features on the tv are great love it. I like the fact that its a Smart TV my old one wasn't. I like everything on this tv. And the price too.

clarity

i would say my vizio is average at best. not as clear as it claims to be. plus, attempting to adjust picture settings is not for the average person, its a little complicated. I do like the home screen set up. The remote is awesome and easy to operate. it comes with 6 easy access App buttons, (for netflix, hulu, prime, vudo, redbox, and umo) which is awesome, but I would like it more if I can add my own favorite apps. the last three apps mentioned i dont use...its a waste.

Great Sound Easy Setup

I bought this December 22nd when my old TV died. Got it home set it up and turned it on. Had to wait about 36 minutes while the software updated, but all good since then. The speakers are very loud, which is good for us. We rarely have to go above 35. And it keeps the sound even and level on commercials. Our old TV was at 60 almost all the time and did not regulate the overly loud commercials. Just wish I could add APPS like The Weather Channel and a couple of others to the Free View feature.
