Great picture, some common big name apps unavailbe.. which means I'm still having to use a streaming device in addition to the "Smart" TV. The audio while using any apps on the TV is terrible, have to turn it up to 50+ to hear any dialog(people speaking) then back down to 20 when ANYTHING else happens within the movie/show. *Note* the audio is more balanced if using a Roku or other streaming device- problem seems to exist within the TV's apps, however, upon calling Vizio customer support it is "normal" to need to increase and decrease volume drastically and continuously during any program... Loved my older Vizio smart tv... this one I'm pretty disappointed in..

I had purchased an older version of this model, but a 65” and was very pleased with it. So when my bedroom TV went out I decided to purchased the newest version in a 50” and put it on my wall; excellent picture and good volume. As my previous purchase , I'm happy with this one as well.

I love having a smart tv! I qas able to get rid of so many extra plug ins and remotes. So easy to use. For someone like myself who doesn't have cable I can stream everything with ease with all the features built it. Best price sround for the size and quality. Very happy with my purchase!

TV was very well packaged and worked straight out of box. TV walks you through simple set up and connects automatically to wi-fi. Owner's manually is online only (something to keep in mind if you don't have wi-fi). There is no Registration card. When I called Vizio, they answered right away and looked up by serial number. I have little confidence, since they didn't take any of my personal information. In addition I was calling because I purchased this particular TV because Sam's Club advertised it as a 3 Year Manufacturer's Warranty. Vizio, of course knew nothing of this and the 1 piece of paper in the box, in very fine print, indicated just 1 year parts and labor. After a very lengthy discussion Vizio and offer the send them the Sam's Club promotion, Visio finally said "OK, don't worry about it, you'll have 3 years Warranty" but could not/would not send me any confirmation of that in writing. So now, I go into the Sam's Club where I purchased TV and showed them the advertised 3 Year Manufacturer's Warranty and, of course they knew nothing about it and handed me a "Square Trade" brochure for extended warrantees. I have not called them yet, as I am sure that they are going to tell me that they have nothing to do with Manufacturer Warrantees. So. let's hope nothing goes wrong, in the next 3 years. As to the TV, itself, as I said the set up was very simple, right out of the box. The picture quality is good, not great and the sound is adequate, for most applications. The picture quality diminishes rapidly when viewing at any angle, other than fairly straight on. Finally, I hate, hate, hate the remote control. Small with tiny array of flat, indistinguishable buttons. and while I appreciate all of the built-in "smart" channels, even accidentaly brushing one of these keys just picking up the remote will send you off to Netflix or Hulu land and now you have to go through the conniptions of getting back to where you wanted to be. Do the people who design these things assume that everyone watches TV in bright light and would never use in a darkened room or bedroom? All that being said, as long as it continues to operate for a couple of years, I'll be happy until it's time for an new one.

Great price, quality image, simple & intuitive smart controls, lots of apps... The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the sound is really mediocre! It sounds tinny and cheap, definitely low quality. This can be fixed with a sound bar, but unfortunately I wasn't planning on having to buy one of those when we purchased this.

Needed a TV to replace one that died but didn't need a huge or expense or newfangled TV. Just something basic in the 50-55" range. Found the Vizio at a great price and found the reviews to be good. The TV does it job and was easy to set up and get working. I use Hulu through a Firestick and was able to ditch the Firestick and use the built in Hulu. No issues getting logged in. The picture is very good. I don't game or watch serious action movies with all the overdone graphics in them. Only issue I have had in the first few weeks is that the TV for some reason loses the Internet connection and won't start. I can't reach it from the Internet via the app so I found I had to unplug it for 15 to 30 seconds and it will reconnect and it will turn on. The only real issue is the sound is the that great but adequate. Still not major. At the price I didn't expect movie quality sound. Over all no complaints and served my needs very well.

I will start with saying that I was so excited to finally purchase my first Vizio smart tv. I heard so many great things about the picture being so clear. Well the setup was easy and the picture is great but the sound is terrible. It has a muffled sound. I purchased a 50 inch tv but the sound doesn't fit with the size. It sounds like a cracker box. Vizio has got to do better with the sound of their TVs.

This is our second Vizio smart tv. Not because one stopped working, but because we were so happy with the one in the living room that we purchased a second one for the family room. You would think we spent 3x the price for the tv we got. Great purchase!

After calling Visio twice, they are to schedule a technician to do a service call. I am unable to control the volume and can't open any apps on the tv. It has been very frustrating, as I fail to understand some of the options provided in the Menu. When I called to check on the tech appointment, I was told they are waiting on a part and the tech would call me when it arrived. I presume this may be a replacement remote.

I purchased the VIZIO V-Series® 65" Class expecting a modern smart TV experience, but the built-in SmartCast platform has been incredibly disappointing.The app store is extremely lacking. Major streaming platforms are available, but the overall selection is highly restrictive compared to Roku, Google TV, or Fire OS. You are completely locked into their ecosystem with no way to download third-party media players. It completely lacks essential utility apps like VLC or Kodi, making it impossible to easily play local network files or customized media libraries.Furthermore, the interface offers no feature for different user accounts. There is no way to separate profiles to create a restricted environment for a child and an unrestricted one for a parent. Everyone in the household is forced to share the exact same home screen, recommendations, and viewing history, which is a massive oversight for a family television.Unless you plan on plugging in an external streaming stick right out of the box, I cannot recommend this TV for its smart features.
