Best in Class at this Price Point

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this TV in January, and it's been great. The picture quality is amazing, nearly unlimited number apps, and it has tons of features. Our favorite feature is the connectivity. This thing will connect to any mobile device out there, as well as your desktop computer! We've finally found a single device that acts as the hub for all of our entertainment (ie. all video and music streaming apps, all photos stored on mobile devices, smart home devices, and even local television channels).

The tv was self explanatory in set up directly out the box. From the language selection to the Home Screen was all easy and effortless. The best thing about the tv was the wireless setup and tv mirror from any one of my apple devices. I did recommend it to another person and had to buy one for my GF house as well. For the price I paid, I couldn't have ended with a better tv with clear picture and quality. The sound could be a bit better but it is a TV and not a sound dock or bass but it does the job. Music from my phone straight to the tv is effortless and loud enough for my apartment

Big screen with a fair price!

I bought the Vizio 70” a few weeks ago. If your not used to a high resolution TV this model will do the job. What I was excited about was the smart features. I can turn my TV on or off along with other options using my Voice, no more searching for the remote! I can also change TV source adjust volume and other voice commands. Having all the major streaming services with the push of a button on remote or sent from my phone. The best feature for me wS the VIZIO channels that are included for free! I believe 100+ great for someone like me who doesn't like paying a heft cable bill especially when they are offered free through VIZIO.

Beautiful colors, dynamic range,and features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The V705x-H1 is my third TV with HDR, and the first that doesn't suffer from notable zones of backlighting, I'm guessing with due to the full backlighting array they list. Dark darks, bright brights, and no evidence of bleeding light, which makes gaming (especially menus where there're hard corners,) a bit better. On HDR this is the first TV I've owned where I felt it does HDR as advertised. I had a few moments of disbelief when playing games and ended up filming as it did not seem to be only a 60hz refresh rate. I'm pretty sure in the days leading up to Black Friday I've seen it listed as “120hz effective refresh rate.” This led me to researching effective vs actual, and I'm reading from this they're doing some wizardry to make it appear a higher refresh than it is. Overall, it looks great, you can game solidly on it, but if you're a twitch sniper this TV probably isn't quite your thing. As an older FPS gamer on PC/Xbox, this refresh rate does not affect me adversely. Games are also beautiful, until you attempt to photograph them with a cell phone and it just looks meh. Installation was done with me and my wife, who's got a frozen shoulder and still managed to heft up half the weight of the thing. I think in total it's about 50 pounds and we managed to get it up on the mount I had with no issues. While I think I could have potentially done it alone, meh, two people can easily do it. After initially powering up you've got a fairly long firmware update to sit through. I started it wired on a gigabit connection and it was a long few minutes wondering if it was coming back up. It did, no complaints there, but it did appear to be dead for a while. Just plan to wait for a bit. The OS is your standard Vizio SmartCast, and if you're familiar with that the only difference is it appears to be significantly faster than on older models after a few minutes of being installed. It was slow for about a minute after the initial update, but now it's great. I have a feeling it was doing work in the background while I was attempting to get right into playing with the new TV. I proceeded to set up Plex, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and I swear I'm forgetting something, and got to watching. I did some comparison testing and went to the other couple of TVs and watched the same things again, and also on my phone to see what all differences I could discern. The answer to most streaming was not a whole lot other than sheer size, although I did determine I liked the HDR significantly more on this than on my older VIZIO which I believe had 30 or so lighting zones. I've spent a lot of time watching this over the past few days, and have determined that the only reality breaker that presents itself for an OCD observer is that the top of the screen appears ever so slightly a different shade when we're looking at non-moving gray. Totally unnoticeable on other colors or during movement, but the backlighting or edge lighting or something doesn't look perfect at the top when 1) gray, 2) viewed from lower angle. This had me standing on a couch watching 4K videos in an attempt to see whether the effect was visible dead on, which I think I determined it maybe is but you need more OCD than I have to notice it. So tilt the screen if you see it. You will want a sound system of some sort. The speakers are good, but not great. I don't claim to be an audiophile, but once you get a decent sound system you can't go back. If you haven't watched over the air broadcasts due to cable or streaming, I suggest you check out your local over the air stations with an antenna (you'll need to get an antenna.) The video quality will make you wonder why you're paying cable fees to watch a pixelated mess. Also useful for when your cable goes out. Overall, it's a good solid TV. There are plenty of videos on why it's a great gaming TV due to the processor, I'll let you check those out for yourself. It's crisp, sharp, dark and beautiful, and I have no complaints.

Love the TV

Bought this tv a few weeks ago. Very happy with it so far. Had to go to the online manual to adjust the sound and it worked as stated. Also. It appears the slightest change in power fluctuations will turn tv off. Over all, love the set and picture, size and sound well worth the money.

Great TV for the price

I find the TV setup was quick and very easy. The controls are easy to understand and mounting the TV on the was was a snap as all mounting brackets seem to work. A couple of complaints I have is that the Plex app is lacking some the features you find when it's running on a Apple TV or other streaming device. My major complaint about the TV has to do with the sound. I purchased this TV for my home office and find the sound is very tinny and sometimes hard to really hear without turning it up really loud. My older 60" Vizio has way better sound quality.

Great TV with very high quality 4K picture

We have had it for about 6 months now and it is just as awesome as I pictured it. Sound is very clear, picture is true 4K and amazing!! Has every app I need and more, and even has cool screensavers for when it goes to sleep which really show you the 4K display. One of the best TVs for the price range I could find. 15/10 would recommend

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!!!!!
