Good at first, not so good after.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There's is a lot of issues with the tv. Sound goes up and down, goes dark and the most annoying is the black screens when switching inputs. We already updated it, check the configuration and used high speed cables and the issues persists.

Amazing features and connectivity

Purchase this TV about 1 month ago, the smart TV features are very user friendly!! I would add that there should be more instructions on the connectivity of a soundbar in order to make it work properly with other hardware such as a cable box that the majority of us use.

Not Liking the Remote

I have no complaint about the picture, it's what I consider average, no different than other tv's I have had. speakers are not great so I connected sound bar with sub-woofer to it and now have audio delay that the remote can not handle quite sufficiently. since day one i have disliked the shape and size of this remote. it starts with the small buttons that you need a magnifying glass to see to the channel buttons being placed on the bottom of the remote. I can not hold this one handed and operate it, I must hold it in one hand and use my index finger on the other to push the buttons.

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.

Great TV for the Price

I was looking for a TV to fit a specific part of the wall for my office at home, primarily one that worked well with apps and this one did the trick. I'm very impressed by the number of ports it has (3 HDMI) I have it hooked up as a 3rd monitor for my computer, one to the receiver, and the last HDMI is used for my security camera system so I can view outside if working late at home. The picture quality is outstanding for all three uses and barely any lag or loading time. Great buy!

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.

Nice TV for the price

It's a 4K HDTV with some quirks until you turn off the default settings. For example, the television go nuts if the internet connection is turned off until you change the default setting. I also would not suggest connecting this TV to a PC no matter how great the video card is. The TV doesn't play well with a PC. The sound is the typical tinny type you expect from most TV's. Like the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. You pay the cheaper price you get a cheaper quality TV. Unfortunately, I am from the old school way of thinking when American manufacturers and their employees took pride in their work and were willing to put their name on what they had made because they were had no doubts about the quality of their work.

I like my Vizio TV. It is a compact 40" TV.

It fits in my older entertainment center. My Denon surround sound unit behaves OK with it. I would recommend a soundbar or an AVR to go with it for improved sound. The size is right, the price is right, the service from Vizio is great (needed to get the Vizio to work with the AVR).

The worst television I own

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We get a lot of square inches per dollar spent. However, size does not matter here because it is the most annoying television to own. The software constantly crashes, so much so that I have to hard-reset the TV regularly. The black detail makes the picture worse than a 1990's pre-LED tv. Somehow there's styrofoam inside the screen. The sound is atrocious, as the tv rattles with low or loud sounds. This was so annoying that I had to buy external speakers. The app control constantly crashes or has buttons redirect you in an infinite loop, e.g., once you enter Watch Free, you will not be able to go to any other app until you perform a hard reset. I bought two of these TVs and only one shows pictures, the other only turns on for a maximum of eight seconds, so its just sat against the wall for about a year. You might think that the TV is such a good deal that you're willing to take the gamble. For your sanity, please do not. I cannot convince my wife that we need to replace it, so I'm stuck with a tv that has the lowest quality for any sports game and is the worst with video games.

Great image, relative ease of use.

Received this for Xmas and love the tv. It automatically controls my AppleTv 4K, and didn't need to program anything to make that happen. Only downside for us is the speed at which the inputs go away when we scroll to change anything. Specifically, we select input, and by the time we can focus on and read the new selection, it times out and we need to start over. Either make the text on a contrasting background, or give it a few more seconds before timing out.
