A User Guide Would Have Been Nice

Great TV for the price but it comes with virtually no instructions. The input selector gives you just a few seconds to make a choice before it disappears. Too much data on the home screen with no way to remove choices I have no interest in. Adding and prioritizing apps is difficult.

A great product

The size of my 40 inch screen and its being a HD set is such an improvement over our long-used 19 inch SD set! The colors and reality of the images is overwhelming! Frankly, the jump to screening services from just a SD lineup of shows is taking used to, especially the navigating around-- both horizontally and vertically-- to live and movie options. But it's coming along!

Super easy setup

We bought the tv a month so and hooked it up to all our devices. It was some and the remote even programmed itself to our surround sound and cable box. Wish the remote had the ability to talk to it and function the tv but still great. I like all the App buttons on the remote. The picture is super clear, sports are amazing. This is our second Vizio, our other one is at least 6 years old and still works great; we only got this new one for a larger size.

Great TB

I am a VIZIO fan. My10 year old VIZIO finally started developing a couple of shadow lines. I was so pleased with it, but decided it was time to get a new one, a little bigger with additional features. It was easy to set up and love the Alexa is a part of it. I would recommend VIZIO to anyone.

I returned it

Apparently, there is a known issue at vizio where the home screen and most apps do not load. I spent two hours on the phone with a very nice customer service rep trying their many 'work arounds' for the firmware glitch. None worked. They are apparently working on a patch, but have no ETA for its availability (which, in programmer speak, means they haven't a clue what the problem is yet). I have no need for a 25 lb paperweight shaped like a TV so I returned it and bought the Samsung.

Love the smart features

I like this TV and the features it offers. I still havent figured out how to adjust the picture so that all the channels look good. Not sure what I am doing incorrectly, but I noticed some channels with older shows do not look like my old TV did which finally died.

Glitches

Sometimes the apps loose connections with the internet, even after I restart my apps, tv, and router. It's crazy, for the TV is hooked up via ethernet cable. The solution has now been to disconnect the TV from the outlet and wait 10 seconds. Sometimes it doesn't work, but simply repeat until it does. The other day I wanted to factory reset my TV, but the option was not there. Like it would not load the tab under system. It simply glitches sometimes unfortunately.

Worst TV - Do Not Recommend

I recieved this tv for my birthday/anniversary. Within 3 weeks, the volume button doesn't work. Vizio helped me troubleshoot and sent me new remote. New remote does not work. The tv stops in the middle of a program and goes back to home screen frequently. So I cannot watch a full program or adjust volume without a hassle.

Great picture quality but software needs work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this tv for about 2 years and I love the picture quality for the price. I'm not in love with the software though. I consistently have to reboot to get it to work properly and the chrome cast generally doesn't work very well. Also the included apps are pretty expansive but you can't add or remove them which is kind of annoying.

Terrific screen software is glitchy and restricted

The screen and size are terrific. However, the smart TV functions continue to cause the unit to lock up and freeze requiring the user to perform a soft reset of the unit once you figure out how to reset. Vizio is aware of the issue, but have not fixed software. The app selection on the unit also lacks many of the apps available on streaming systems like Roku. You also do not have the ability to decide which apps are on the unit. I have now attached a Roku to this TV for ease of use and this avoids Vizio`s software issues. Which negates the reason for buying a smart TV.
