[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To put this review in context, we already own three other Vizio TVs - a 75" P-Series, a 75" M-Series, and a 70" E-Series (as well as multiple 3.1 and 5.1 soundbars and Crave Pro smart speakers). First impressions on opening the box are this is more of the same - a sleek modern design with the typically excellent fit and finish we have come to expect of Vizio products. The bezel is extremely thin with a very attractive brushed finish, so no distractions from glare or reflections from lights. The feet are the same concept throughout all the various series, again a matt black finish to ensure they don't detract from the viewing experience. The main difference between the V-Series and the other more expensive models is the materials are plastic rather than metal, but that is to be expected at this price point. Visually however, it's impossible to tell and is no less pleasing to look at. The remote control is very similar to the ones we have for the other TVs but it has had an update and redesign with additional buttons and pleasingly, it now has a flat base so rests in a horizontal position, rather than dipping down at the front. Oh, and before I forget, the bag the TV comes in with the grab handles is an ingenious idea. It makes it easy for one person to remove it from the box, without having to try and stretch your arms around each side. The power, input and volume controls are all on the rear of the TV - which is how the bezel is able to be so thin - and gives it a very clean look. In 5 years though I don't think we've ever touched the controls on any of the TVs - we use the remote, a phone/tablet (SmartCast Mobile), or Google Assistant to control them all. Also on the rear are all the inputs and outputs you will ever need: a coaxial input for cable or satellite, composite analog input and audio output (it's debatable whether anyone uses those these days), an optical output for a receiver or soundbar, an ethernet port (although it has wi-fi built in so likely won't be used), a USB port for playing media from a thumb drive, and three HDMI ports, one of which is ARC enabled. First power on goes through the standard set up - choosing the language, country, etc. then connect to the network using the built in wi-fi, and finally a software update check. A couple of updates were required which took around 10 minutes to complete and then the TV was ready to use. Out of the box, the display is set to "Bright" mode. I always find this a little bit too vivid and artificial and as all of our TV watching is in the evening, it's just too intense. Fortunately, Vizio TVs have built in pre-set modes and "Calibrated Dark" is the one all of our TVs are set to. A quick word on the menu operation - it's one of the easiest I've used: simple, straightforward, and intuitive. It just works. The picture quality across all of the various inputs is superb - sharp and clear, good colour rendition, and decent blacks, and as it's 4K Ultra HD, incredibiy detailed. Blu-ray is particularly impressive but even the various streaming services produce great depth with no smearing or streaking. The huge number of built in apps such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ AppleTV, etc. makes finding and viewing content simple and avoids the need to cast from a device to the TV, although you can still do that if you wish. There's also a dedicated set of free channels, as well as Crackle, Pluto TV, and others, so you don't need to subscribe to multiple paid services to find something to watch. The one thing this TV doesn't have is a dedicated HDMI input for gaming, but at my age, any kind of input lag is the least of my problems when battling hordes of zombies! Sound is adequate considering the size of the speakers - you're not going to get any room shaking bass but it is clear and there is an option to enhance the dialogue. There is also the choice of surround sound mode or equalizer, allowing you to fine tune the overall sound. To really do the picture quality justice though, you need to upgrade to an external soundbar (or receiver and speakers), which is what we'll be doing. The USB port which allows you to play audio, videos, and still pictures is handy ... perfect for slideshows on those family get togethers which everyone loves ;-) Yes, if you put this TV side by side with a P series then you can see where the extra expense is involved, but if you were to do a blind comparison with a similar sized M series then you would be hard pushed to tell the difference. Overall, for the price, this TV is incredible value for money and performs way better than I expected. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one.

I bought this about two weeks ago when my ancient first generation smart TV bit it after about 10 years; and it's amazing! I love that it interacts with Alexa and all the available streaming functions. If I had to criticize on one thing the sound is kinda basic; it's pretty good, but not spectacular. Overall a great TV!!!!

This tv is good. I like that the apps are included on the tv and remote for easy access. Also, I can watch tv without having cable. The only draw back is that sometimes it turns off on it's on. And doesn't turn back on until I unplug and plug the power source back in. It becomes troublesome and annoying. Other than that, good tv.

Just bought it a couple of days ago...so far so good. Playstation 5 looks great on it,and the menus and setup are very intuitive.The tv automatically recognizes what I have plugged into my hdmi inputs when I power them on,and I can control them with the Vizio remote...nice touch! Also,it was at a great price,$289,with a 3 year warranty at Sam's.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this TV in December 2020. I have always used Vizio TV's and when my husband and I wanted to upgraded our living room 45 inch to a bigger screen, we purchased this one. So much more capabilities and like the picture quality, sound, all the streaming apps, and the screen cast. I always recommend this to anyone looking into a TV. I even got my grandmother and sister to purchase one when they were needing a newer one and they both love them, too. My grandmother ended up buying another Vizio so she can put one in her room. My sister is looking into getting another, as well. Again, I bought this in December 2020 and just now leaving a review, and it's still operating like new!! I love this TV!

Always displaying that one or another HDMI plug is “hot,” sometimes even when that port has nothing plugged in. TV signal does not come up upon powering on, even when input is set to TV (HDMI 1). We have to change it to a different input then change it back to HDMI 1 to get it to come up.

I purchased two other manufacturers TV's and returned them, then I the Vizio. Installation instructions were very easy to follow and the TV was setup with an attached streaming device within minutes. I'm certain that there are better selections on the market but for the money this definitely suits my needs.

I have had it as your TV for 15 years my friend just bought a Panasonic and Visio blows it out of the water. The Vizio Remote is perfectly laid out with all buttons you need accessible. Many other smart remotes have eliminated the keypad for numbers and the remote is awkward. Now with all of the built-in casting apps, No other smart TV can hold a candle to the Visio in my opinion. This is my second one and I will buy nothing but Visio from now on. Long lasting, exceptional quality, great value. Could not be happier with my purchase.

To start, the packaging was well though/designed. Pulling out the unit was so easy after cutting the plastic band. The packaging slides off the unit easy without damaging the unit. Instructions were simple, it was set-up in no time. Mounting took a little time; I used Zanus brand mount and worked well with the unit. I have to spot the wall stud for the weight I am hanging. Its been working well for over a month without a problem. I don't mind buying another Vizio product.

I bought this about 3 weeks ago. At first I was debating about returning this tv because the smart cast and watch free apps did not work even connected to my home internet. After about the 4th day it started to work. And yes I did check to see if the software was update. Now the tv finally functions completely and works like a charm. Absolutely love this tv.
