Why 3 stars

The only thing I do not like about this tv is I cannot remove unwanted apps and I cannot add the apps I want. That is enough for me to not purchase another vizio. The first smart tv I bought was a roku and after buying this vizio I will only purchase roku from here on out unless this issue get fixed. There is so many app I will never use I would like to remove and there are some apps I would like to add and there is no way to do so with this tv. I also cannot personalize my back ground or sounds or nothing like I can with my Roku.

Smartcast has yet to work.

I bought this two weeks ago and the smartcast feature has never worked. I have other streaming devices, so it's not the end of the world, but it's kind of amazing that Vizio can't seem to fix it. They keep offering the same fix to folks who ask about the issue, and it doesn't seem to work for anyone. I have disconnected my tv from our wifi because not only does the Smartcast not work, it kind of bricks your tv for 3-5 minutes while you desperately press buttons and stare at a black screen. So confusing for someone who is setting it up for the first time. Picture is nice though. And it works well with me Vizio soundbar. So that is a plus. Otherwise it would be going back.

Great features, fantastic picture!!!!

This TV was a replacement for the 50” that went black. I read great reviews for the Visio and am very glad that I got one. The features are great and the picture and colors are amazing. Any one asking me about it I can't stop telling them how fantastic it is. Super product!!!!!

Good clear picture

The only thing I dislike about the product is that when using a Vizio sound bar the volume is super hard to control. One goes down the other goes up. Or controls an other option on the TV. Other then that Vizio you have great products. This TV replaced old Vizio that still out shines this TVs picture quality! The old is in my bedroom now with the new one in the living room.

Reliable TV So Far

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smart TV has been good to me. The colors are beautiful with different lighting and picture modes. A TV update came out which helped my TV recover from random shut downs. Since then its been good. Just hope for an illuminating Remote Control next time, it's hard to see in the dark.

Clear picture

This affordable TV is just what I was looking for. There were many TVs in the price range of this one but I feel I came away with the best deal and TV as well. It has a very clear & crisp picture and the sound is amazing even without a sound bar connected.

Bedroom replacement

Purchased this for a bedroom excellent television. I have only 2 complaints. 1 the channel display in the upper corner is way to small I haven't measured but 1/2” at the most can't see channel from across the room. 2. The stands have been moved to the corners making it to wide to set on a chest. Need to go back to the center stand. I'm not one to hang on the wall. This is why I gave a 4 star.

WORST TV I HAVE EVER OWNED

Picture is muddy and washed out, people look like the walking dead. Got a huge runaround from the company and was even told I needed to sit directly in front of the set. Was put through a series of contortions to try to reset and readjust, but nothing works. Kept it on the box for several months, so I can't take it back. Guess the garbage man will find it better than the one he uses.

Great but...

The tv is usually great but periodically the smart cast main screen will not display the apps just a black screen but an hour or two later and it will work fine again. All of the apps on the remote still work it's just odd how sometimes the main screen will be black and other times works fine and this happened on my previous Visio tv of the same model but a larger size.

Great TV for price!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great TV. Solid picture quality with several preset modes which adjust warmth, brightness, etc. Total customization is also possible. Quite light for its size and very easy to mount on the wall. Minimal bezels. Good connection options. Several built-in apps including nice buttons on the remote for Netflix, Prime video, etc. Automatically detected my connected AV receive via the HDMI 1 - ARC port and allowed for immediate control of my connected Android TV box - very cool. Only complaint is the brightness variability most easily seen on solid color screens due to the LED lamp array; however, this is totally expected given the price point of this device. So far, very satisfied.
