[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had mine for a little while now, I put it in my bedroom so I didn't get to use it very much at first but lately I have really been watching it and I love it, It has such a great picture and sound quality and it has a lot of built in features that are great. I just hooked it up to my Echo device and now all I do is just talk and it obeys LOL Love it.

Extremely User Friendly

I purchased this TV a few weeks ago, after researching it and similar models. We are very happy with our purchase and love the large on screen icons that are super easy to use. Wonderful picture and sound and simple to set up, you'll be watching your favorite shows and movies within minutes of opening the box!

Very poor product and even worse support

Purchased in early February, the TV gave us problems from the beginning. It has to be re-booted at least once a day to make the features work. Arbitrarily stops allowing us to access our apps, screen goes blank, switches itself back to Smartcast (there's a joke) while we are watching on TiVo or Firestick. Support ran us through several options including setting the TV back to its original factory re-sets to no avail. Support takes 45 minutes to an hour to go through the processes every time requiring us to "go through the motions of checking our W-Fi, re-booting, try this, try that. We are waiting on a local repair person to come and verify the problems. It's a software issue. VIZIO will not replace or refund without independent verification. No service would be better than the current service. I suspect we will not get either a refund or a replacement.

Not to happy

I just recently bought this tv a month and half ago and I'm not to happy with it. I expected something of better quality, being that it's from vizio. But I wasn't impressed with the picture and sound. But I told myself to deal with it even after I saw better brands for sell online for either the same price or a little less. But I kept it moving and didn't dwell on it. But then a couple weeks ago I started to notice that when I turn on the TV no sound would come out of the speakers until I pushed the watch for free button and then click back over to my cable box. Don't know why it started doing this, and I didn't change any settings on the TV or the cable box

Set up and other issues

So I had this tv fir like 1 year and a half. Over the time me using it I've experienced returning to homepage issues. I've experienced wifi issues. I've experienced issues switching over from Netflix to home page. Some times when I turn on the tv the home page won't turn on and says no network disconnected. BUT! It will let me move select netflix and hulu and amazon prime. The tv doesn't get enough software updates so it's severely behind on firmware. From what I've seen you guys have made no attempt to fix the glitches in your tv. These experiences are so bad 90% of the time I have to power cycle the tv the other half I have ti jeep turning it on and off. Tv has great picture and great images for gaming. The tv NEEDS more freedom to the person who bought it. What I mean by that is customization on the back ground, how your apps in rearranged, making a favorites for your apps in case there not on the controller. The menu page 90% is undeeded and endless scrolling to the right and it doesn't auto bring the tiles you goto the most closer to the front of the line to make it easier for the viewer to select what they want to watch. These issues NEED TO BE FIXED out of all the other tvs I've seen this is the most unused friendly TV there is.

Very disappointed

My friend has bought Vizio TVs and had no problem. But she has the smaller ones. We should have known because we first got a 65" and the screen was broken, we returned the same day. The second one 65" had half the screen black and read the 65" had a problem with that. So we got a 60" and the sound doesnt match all the times, I have to turn it off and back on again. After every commerical it is off again. So disappointed and the sound isn't very good.

Love the TV, not Impressed with the Speakers

We purchased this television as a replacement for an old plasma screen TV in the spare room I converted to a telework office. The setup was a piece of cake and I love the features. My only complaint is with the internal speakers: they are muddy and unclear in some cases, especially if the volume has to increased to any substantial level.

I love Vizio TV"s

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best TV for me. I've owned several. The app selection is amazing, it doesn't block certain apps like another TV I have does. Beautiful pictures and amazing sound. I should be the apokeswoman for Vizio..

50/50

I purchased this TV because I know how well the vizio brand stands test of time. However, im disappointed that there aren't more popular brands for options as apps. Where is discovery+, starz, or HBO max? Disappointing that a company such as yourself that you can't get deals to have these apps as options on your device.
