First Smart TV

This is my very first smart TV & honestly even though in my mid 60's was very easy to get up and running, hooked into my modem via Ethernet and wifi and to my cable as well. Picture is brilliant when running 4K video content streaming, the audio is kind of subpar but am going to get a soundbar or hook up an older surround system. I am loving the ability to Chromecast; that was like plug and play! All in all a great upgrade to my former TV, it was a very dumb in comparison!

Great color!

I am so happy I purchased my Vizio Smart TV. I was looking for one that was 70" and this was a perfect fit for my viewing space. Very slim as well and it could also be mounted if thats what you want. I compared the color with other TV's and I liked this one best. I never hear of Vizio until now since my TV was very old but someone recommended it to me and I am very glad they did. I am sure I made the correct choice!

Good product overall, but cracked housing

The VIZIO tv was easy to set up and use, especially as I only have it connected to wifi, but I was disappointed that the back of the tv case was cracked. It was too much trouble to re-box and take back to store, as the tv itself works fine. As the box was not overly damaged, I would have expected to tv to be in pristine condition.

Good TV

I've had this TV since about April 2020 and I can say that the quality and picture is amazing. The TV is easy to operate and has some great features. The only negative thing is that sometimes the TV freezes and has to be unplugged to start working again. Since my TV is mounted on a wall this makes it very difficult to reach the power cord. If this can be fixed it would be a perfect tube!

crisp picture

I was given this tv for Christmas and I love it. The sound is great the picture is too. The main complaint I have is there is no play/pause and fast forward buttons like on my previous VIZIO TV. The center button will pause and start a show on Netflix/amazon/Vudu ect. but there is no slight back up you have to go a whole scene.

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.
