Smart TV

I picked up my new smart TV and had it installed and working within hours. I wasn't impressed with the materials packaged with the television - the getting started pages were a joke and you had to go online to get the full manual. However, the process of setting up the television was easy to follow on the screen. The picture is clear and the colors are sharp.

confusing

I brought the set about a month ago and we have experienced several problems. The connections are often slow and sometimes they take a while to load. The biggest problem for me is not being able to print off a manual to read so that any concerns may be addressed myself.

Overall a fine tv

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The picture is great, the sound is alright, the only real drawbacks are small, the limited buttons on the remote and the body of the TV which make it a little frustrating to navigate to the menu or settings, and the Home screen that is very busy with adds for content some of which is on apps I don't subscribe to. The Home screen is my biggest complaint.

Bad luck

I've had so many issues with this tv. Sometimes I can't turn it off with the control or manually. I have to unplug it. There is a delay in picture and sound when I turn it off. To make it worse it sometimes just turns on randomly. I have a smaller tv same brand and it works perfect so I'm upset that this bigger tv is giving me so many problems.

Worst TV I ever owned

I got this TV in October last year I think and the sound quality is horrible so if you want good sound you have to go to sound bar and I can't necessarily afford that. Also it keeps disconnecting from my Internet and I have a Samsung in my bedroom that never disconnects so it isn't my Internet. Also it just shuts off sometimes for no apparent reason. Tonight I have a new problem while I'm watching YouTube TV which is what I use for my streaming provider it just keeps going back to the home screen back-and-forth back-and-forth all the time. So I thought well I'll try Netflix same thing does the same thing so it's not the provider. It's this hunk of junk TV that I have. I will never ever buy another Vizio product. I'll be replacing it as soon as I can afford it.

Lacking essential apps

Purchased and actually considered returning due to the fact that there are no native HBO or ESPN apps. The fact that it has a great picture for the price is the only thing that kept me from returning. I understand that I can stream ESPN from my phone to the TV, but using another device to achieve the functions that are standard across the board on most every other smart tv defeats the purpose. Will be my last vizio tv purchase unless the apps/support are added.

In today’s market with so many apps it can be difficult to find the content you’re looking for. VIZIO is committed to giving consumers access to as much streaming content as possible. SmartCast televisions deliver today’s most popular apps like Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and others on the SmartCast TV home screen. The TVs also come with Watchfree, a no cost service that provides hundreds of channels with no additional purchase or registration requirements. SmartCast televisions also support Google Chromecast and Apple AirPlay 2 so that you can share content from the latest applications on your phone, tablet, or computer directly to the TV. We appreciate your feedback and will make sure to continue adding features and applications in the future.

Set up frustrating

Frustrated to no end setting up. After going through some of the initialization it said it was going to check for updates and it would take a few minutes. The FIRST update lasted 50 minutes. Then it went to a black screen that said it would automatically restart. After about 3 minutes it shut off for about a minute, restarted and immediately went into "checking for updates". This "update" lasted only 5 minutes. Back to the black screen and waited, then shut down and restarted. Immediately went to checking for updates the third time which lasted 15 minutes for this update. Thankfully that was the last update. So the "few minutes" lasted almost 90 before it went to actually starting up the set. After going through all the set up stuff I still have not determined if I can get the controller to recognize the cable box to change channels. Have found nothing in the users manual addressing this topic. Picture quality is great looking straight-on to the screen. Everything is washed out as you move to the side.

Hello Bern, the television can take a few minutes, depending on your connection speed, to complete the firmware updates to make sure you have the latest firmware available and the latest features. The television remote is not universal so it would not be able to control your cable box channels unless it was connected using the coaxial tuner. If you have any additional questions about your television please reach out to our customer support at support.vizio.com and clicking 'Contact Us'.

Good TV for limited choices in 40" size

Really wanted a 4K 40" TV, so glad Vizio makes this size. Overall a solid performer, with a few things that could be more polished. Would really like a dedicated SLEEP button on the remote. Would also like to see a programmable button for my own app choice for a Smart TV choice. Lastly would like to see the TV have an option to turn off after a set amount of time if there is no active signal (if it is supposed to do this, it doesn't seem to work). Besides these few issues, I really like the TV.

Great picture!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this tv for quite some time and the quality and sound continue to hold up well. The features are great, too, allowing me to watch live tv through WiFi, as well as many channels (Hulu, HBO, Netflix, etc…) definitely a great television

Love the features on this Television

I brought this TV for myself as a Christmas gift. I'm always going all out for my kids and husband but I never buy anything for myself. But anyway let's talk about this 70” Television, it's everything the features on this TV is amazing.like AirPlay, Smartcast, Watchfree, I never saw this on any smart Television. This is the first. And of course they have Netflix, Vudu, Hulu,. I never saw Xumo, prime video or Redbox as a feature on a smart TV. The picture is perfect it's like going to the movies.
