Great features for the price

I brought this TV a few weeks ago. For the screen size, price, and features, this is a solid TV. Don't expect to find the picture detail to be as good as the higher-end TVs, but Vizio in general has a brighter screen than some other brands. Also, this TV works great with my Google Home and with casting from apps such as YouTube.

Good for the price

We bought our TV 5/20. Out of the box it was great. The picture is good. However right away the TV needed an update to the firmware which made the TV get stuck in an endless boot-loop. Our smartcast on the TV does not work at all. We have waited hours for it to work. I regularly try to go into"smartcast" and it just gets stuck with the "smartcast is loading, please wait" and never does anything different. The design is nice, it is sleek and not heavy. The stand is not obtrusive or large. I wish I could set the sleep timer, that would be nice. And I wish the TV would let me know it needs an update or that it isn't connected to the internet. That would also be great to prevent the issue with the boot loop. Overall it is ok for the price we paid, I guess if you want all the extras you pay for them! In a pinch this TV is pretty good though.

Like being at the cinema

This is our second Vizio TV and, as with the previous 55", it is a pleasure to own and watch. Crystal clear display, works well with the Vizio sound bar ... very pleased with it, and we have recommended Vizio TV's to our friends. Best visual display ever.

So. Many. Glitches!!!

We've had this TV for about a year. I've had to reset to factory 3x, the first time was less than a month after initial set up. Either the smart cast doesn't work, or the screen is “snowy” or the sound is delayed… something always seems to be wrong with it!

App is the only problem.

Love the TV except that you have to download an app to turn on 4K features! It took me forever to figure that out. I kept thinking I didn't Purchase a 4K TV. I know of a few people that I've had to help them to turn on the 4K and HDR through the app. So only for that reason I give the TV 3 stars. It's very annoying to have to download an app to turn on those features. I think it should be automatic as soon as you hook up a 4K compatible product. Like I said, other then that it's a very Superior picture on the television for the price I paid! I'm hoping they patch this in an update for the TV in the future.

reply from Customer Service

Hello LiveWire, your television should display any 4K content that is provide without any needed adjustments. You may need to turn on the 'Full Color UHD' setting in the input menu but this should be able to be completed from the on screen menu. If you have any questions about your television please reach out to our customer support.

Sound

It's a good tv not the greatest. The volume really sucks I'm all the way up to 50 and still the sound is horrible. Vizio you guys need to up your game. So far Sony,Samsung and LG is up their game when it comes to the picture and the volume/sound of their TVs.

Nice TV

I bought my Vizio 2 weeks ago to replace a 5 year-old Samsung that just suddenly died. So far I'm very happy with it. The picture and color are excellent and it's noticeably brighter than the Samsung ever was. Setup was easy - we went from unboxing the tv to watching it in half an hour or so and that includes integrating it with our home entertainment receiver, blue ray player and satellite receiver. After 2 weeks, I am still impressed with the picture and the way the colors just "pop" - impressive. Great for football, too.

good value

This has great features for the price. With all of the streaming apps included, I canceled my satellite programming. Downside: Took a lot of tweaking in video settings to get the picture looking good. The preprogrammed settings were very washed out.

Easy set up. Free Pluto. Great features.

Received TV as a gift for Christmas and really love the features. TV does an automatic systems update when you first turn it on. The ultra 4k resolution is truly remarkable for it's price point. Quite light weight for the size. I have it running on WIFI and have zero buffering issues; no drop outs using the regulars digital antenna. I really love this TV.

I Love My VIZIO Television!

I have been a lover of VIZIO product for almost 10 years now. I brought my first in 2013 and never looked back. It was a 42” flat screen. I decided to get a bigger screen this year to get ready for football season. So I purchased a 50”. My next move is to get an VIZIO soundbar to complete the set. I just love the brand. Great picture and the color is on point. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
