Volume wouldn't go up or down when pushed on remote, Netflix or any other app would start up then shut down and go to Home Screen! I read up and lots of people had the volume issue. Said we needed to reset. If I have to reset a new tv I don't want it. So we returned and got different brand.

We chose to receive TV over the air. We are 30 miles from a large city and still get about 50 stations. Use internet for Netflix, YouTube, etc. using the built-in apps. Works great except for when exiting some of those apps sometimes the screen goes black and I have to turn it off and on a few times to get it going again.

I recently purchased this TV as an upgrade from my 55-inch unit to increase the performance for Xbox gaming and screen real-estate. The Vizio set up is fairly efficient except for the smart tv apps. While it is understood that the apps come from multiple sources, Vizio could do take two actions to improve the customer experience: 1) insist that all app providers follow the same standard when including with Vizio. Some of the best is using a QR to activate the service on the TV eg., Disneyplus. the worst are RedBox with archaic interface input screens. the second is to "persistent" the account information in the Visio account profile and auto complete the process. This is the 3rd Vizio unit, each having to be updated -- which takes about 1 hour. The quirk issue is with the picture and sound settings. These menu options only change with the input selected. For example, what is shown for the Apple TV input settings on the Vizio is different from Satellite and for Xbox. this makes it VERY difficult to understand what settings are available and to troubleshoot. in my case, after switching from XBOX to Cable input, the sound would not play. it turns out that AUTO input for sound is not correct for my configuration. I needed to set this to 2.1. This took me 2-days of troubleshooting and lots of internet searching. I did not know if it was the TV, XBOX or Cable. Frustrating during the effort.

There's no way to pick and choose all the apps that I want to add. In this day and age people should be able to add any available app they choose and that's one of the major downfalls of this tv. Also, better gaming picture settings would make this tv better IMO.

This TV has settings best served for folks who use cable or some other type of paid programming. My problem is, I don't have anything like that. I enjoy free local broadcasting with a simple antenna. Another problem is the remote control. The numbers at the bottom of the pad make it a two handed affair to change channels. And if you press any of the wrong buttons it takes you away from local broadcast and its an ordeal to get it back.

The day we bought it and set it up it kicked me out of Netflix and went to the home screen. Then I decided to change to watch local channels and the screen was scrambled and would not fix itself. The Vizio I replaced would just freeze up and cut off. The day I replaced it was because that morning I turned it off before I left and then that night it would not come back on. We had only had it 3 years.

The new Visio was presented to me at Christmas by my wife. The color and clarity are major assets, and with the sound bar, the audio is excellent. The apps contained on smartcast are included and easy to access. On the downside is the random loss of signal and the need to reboot the tv. It happens when switching from one port to the smartcast. Instructions come right up on the screen and walks you through the rebooting process. With more technology there seems to be more chances to breakdown. Very manageable but still a nuisance. Still I am so glad to have my new Vizio. A movie theater in my living room. I love it

It has great picture and sound. It also functions well so far but I've only had it for a couple of weeks. I'm used to my bigger roku tv in my living room so I'm used to having a home screen when I turn on my tv but it's not a big deal that this one doesn't have one. My only complaint is if I accidentally put it on smartcast it won't let me change it or do anything with the remote for a while and it's like it gets frozen. Overall am happy with purchase/price of this tv.

Great TV for price, color and most features... all that is missing is being able to add applications straight from TV. if you don't see the app you want... you have to download the VISIO app... if the app is there... great easy add... but if its not... then you can't add the app and you have to stream from your phone to your tv... which again for the price we got it for... not a deal breaker... but i can see how it could be irritating.

I have not used the TV yet, but unpacked it and set it on a Perlesmith tabletop TV stand. I'd recommend getting one of these. Really stable and super nice, quality product. Tomorrow I will call Spectrum to set up my remotes. But the TV was packaged GREAT, and I expect it to function the same!
