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!

Just as good as the "bigger" brands

I replaced a 55" "expensive branded" with this 65" Vizio and boy am I impressed. First let me say, it connects to the internet with ease- EVERY SINGLE TIME! (I had nothing but trouble with the other brand that cost twice as much) I absolutely love that my remote control has quick buttons to Netflix, Prime, Hulu (and 3 more services I don't personally use.) in fact, navigation to all the features is done with ease. The picture and sound quality are exactly as I would expect them to be My ONLY downside is I do miss my TV only having 1 center foot- rather than 2 feet, which limits the stand type it can sit on by a little. Otherwise, I highly recommend this TV for quality and ease of use.

There are multiple things I am unhappy with..

The picture is fuzzy and faded from the side view. The sound fades in and out. Can't figure out how to fix the remotes. I have to use the old one { dish remote } to do some things and this now Vizio remote to do some things. Can I re program one or both to to everything?

Hi Craigleonard! Your Dish remote should be able to be programmed to control the main TV functions. You will need to contact Dish for help with that.

Lights,Camera,..Blah

I bought this product 2 weeks ago and returned the product. The picture quality was no good compared to the other TVs in our house. This including a tv that we have had for over 10 years. Also, we were not happy with what apps were available. It seems that casting from your phone or device to the tv is the way they would like you to go. Please don't get fooled by the picture quality you might see while the tv is being displayed in the store because once you get it home, it will not look anything like that. The price might be right but the picture sure is not.

Great features, great picture, love it!

Our big TV died and I needed to replace it. We've had a smaller Vizio for several years and it has done very well for us, so I decided to try a larger one, and we are not disappointed! The features are wonderful, the picture is very sharp and clear, and the price cannot be beat. There is nothing not to love!!

OK TV

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good TV, but missing some APPS that I want. Had to factory reset because smartcast was just a grey screen. Then it updated the software and started working again. But had to login to all the apps once again.
