Great Picture....sound is ok

Great picture & great features. However, my Phillips 32" that I purchased in 2008, that this TV is replacing, had a much, much, much better sound. I think it was stereo sound. I am very disappointed in the sound. I have changed the sound settings and it really doesn't make a difference. Had I known the sound was going to be bad, I probably would have paid more for a different TV. Guess you get what you pay for......

As televisions continue to have larger screens with thinner profiles and sleeker bezels, there is less room for large speakers. To help get the best audio quality out of your VIZIO televisions speakers, we’ve included settings like DTS Studio Sound to provide the highest performance possible, while maintaining the thin, sleek, bezel-less profile of your television. For top of the line audio performance you may also look into purchasing a VIZIO Sound Bar, there are several models available with wireless subwoofers for enhanced bass, rear speakers for true surround sound, and our new line of Atmos Sound Bars.

Great picture, not sound.

I would give this 5 stars if it wasn't for the poor sound. It was affordable, has great user interface, picture etc. The sound however is awful. I had to connect a sound bar so that we could tolerate it. I checked all settings and forums for a solution. Nothing helped.

Great Value

I bought this TV a month ago. I had heard good things about Vizio TV's and I must say I love it. The picture is crystal clear. The TV is easy to work. I had a little difficulty in the very beginning because I have never owned a smart TV, but leave it to the kids to teach you in a matter of minutes how to use it.

Nice TV

Unfortunately, I have had this TV for less than a month and all has been doing for the last days is spin and it says "checking for updates". I went into the system and ran the updates option and it says that the tv is updated. Why in the heck is it still spinning on the main screen. We can't watch TV. The only thing I can do is access the manual.

Vizio always has a great product.

Bought this to replace the 43 inch vizio we've had for 10+ years which by the way still works great. We just wanted a larger, smart tv. Moved the smaller one to another room and they both work great. The smart features are great, my only complaint is that you can not download apps or channels to this one. Other smart TVs allow you do that so that's the reason for the 4 stars.

Great TV

This TV has been great to us so far. Overall, we love it. Good quality picture. Perfect size for our living room. Easy to use and navigate the different functions. The Apps work really well. It works great with our Apple TV. The only downside is the sound quality. It can be tough to hear a lot of things. A soundbar is definitely a necessity to compliment this TV. However, I feel like this issue is pretty common for a lot of TVs now. All in all, we are enjoying this TV and are very happy with it.

Happily Surprised by this Smart TV and 4K Quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So it was time to upgrade our bedroom TV and my wife and I chose the VIZIO V-Series® 58" Class 4K HDR Smart TV | V585x-H1. It was relatively inexpensive and met our requirements. We wanted 4K as well as some smart capabilities our friends had mentioned. For the setup - we have a soundbar (also from Visio) and it was seamless to plug in the optical cable - it automatically worked. The coolest thing that I didn't even know was possible is I can stream from my Apple devices with this TV. It also has Apple TV which we didn't have on our old TV. I'm also impressed by the picture quality. This TV is what we watch at night. It was surprising how much better everything looked. I didn't expect such a radical improvement in picture quality and such an improvement to our night time movie time. Overall I rate this TV 5 stars - you get way more than expected from the very reasonable price.

Nice TV for the price

It's a 4K HDTV with some quirks until you turn off the default settings. For example, the television go nuts if the internet connection is turned off until you change the default setting. I also would not suggest connecting this TV to a PC no matter how great the video card is. The TV doesn't play well with a PC. The sound is the typical tinny type you expect from most TV's. Like the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. You pay the cheaper price you get a cheaper quality TV. Unfortunately, I am from the old school way of thinking when American manufacturers and their employees took pride in their work and were willing to put their name on what they had made because they were had no doubts about the quality of their work.
