Great value, easy setup and more

I was surprised by the quality. The built in speakers sound good although I had already a sound bar with an optical input and that would be the best sound option. The built-in tuner connected to antenna in an attic, easily picked up most of local HD channels, although my previous TV could not. I use it mostly with ROKU. BTW, initially I thought there were some issues (flickering), but I replaced the HDMI cable with a new one and the issue was solved.

Overall great TV!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this TV for a few weeks now and it's one of the best all around tvs I've had. The sound and picture quality are great, and the picture is very customizable which I like. The smart TV features unlike many others isnt slow- it's fast and responsive and I never feel like my TV is “lagging”

Slow, but worth the wait

My only complaints have all concerned the TV's speed, or the lack of it. Set up seemed to take forever, including updates and the slow slog through searching for broadcast channels. Since we use a cable box, that all might have been unnecessary, but the lack of instructions kept me from knowing that little tidbit. It also comes on very slowly. Once it's on, it's great. The sound level seems to be low, so it has to be turned up pretty high to hear it as well as we're used to from its predecessor (& I thought IT had to be turned up too loud!).

Series of tvs

I have replaced all my TVs with this tv. The SmartCast feature on our phones makes this an amazing buy. Not to mention it's ability to connect with my Alexa and Apple Home. These TVs are so amazing I now have 7 of them. I can control them all from my phone, Alexa, google, Apple Home, or the interchangeable remotes they come with. With all of that said, it's 4k. The detail of the tv is extraordinary!

It's an upgrade, when it works....

I bought this tv as a way to stream shows without using another device, simple to put together out of the box & then SmartCast didn't work. I went to the website and did troubleshooting, no change...called the 800 number for customer service and repeated the same process to be told it was a firmware issue that will fix itself over time....2 days later it started working. If the store was accepting returns the TV would already be gone. Otherwise, picture is good and haven't really had any issues.

This TV is big and full of problems

I bought this TV back in November 2020 and has been giving me tremendous amount of trouble. It glitches and will cut off out of no where and/or freeze to the point where you have to plug it back in and out, the volume doesn't turn up or down right away it's delayed at least 30-45 seconds. The airplay doesn't even show up on my smartphone (iPhone 11) it's overall a very regretful purchase that I am now stuck with :(

SmartTV Functions Do Not Work At All

It only took us one day and we were sorry we bought this TV. None of the Smart features worked including the "WatchFree" function. It just wouldn't connect to the internet no matter what we tried. Even the solutions that VIZIO gave in their on-line help site was useless. So, we returned the TV to the retailer and got our money back.

Great TV for the Price

I was looking for a TV to fit a specific part of the wall for my office at home, primarily one that worked well with apps and this one did the trick. I'm very impressed by the number of ports it has (3 HDMI) I have it hooked up as a 3rd monitor for my computer, one to the receiver, and the last HDMI is used for my security camera system so I can view outside if working late at home. The picture quality is outstanding for all three uses and barely any lag or loading time. Great buy!

Love the TV....but....

Love the TV, the pic, the apps and extras, but it didn't come with any instructions. You have to download them, but they do not tell you what the buttons on the remote are for, how to get to the apps, settings, etc. If you aren't even a little bit tech savvy and have a LOT of patience, you will NEVER figure it out. Vizio makes great TV, but they need to include a paper booklet of instructions WITH instructions!

Don't waste your money

I bought this tv less than 6 months ago and so some reason you can't get back to the main menu or cast videos from the internet. I am lucky if I am able to watch tv maybe 25% of the time. Maybe I just got a lemon :( I unfortunately would still not recommend this tv even if it worked perfectly fine. It's a 50" tv and no one can read the writing on the tv because it is so blurry. I pity older individuals who are end up with this tv because the user interface is the most complicated I've ever seen on such a basic model tv. My father is 65 and refuses to watch tv at my house because he gets so irate trying to navigate my tv. Save your money and do not DO NOT buy this tv. Everything about this tv from sound to picture to usability is absolutely HORRIBLE!
