Bought as a display model

Got a great price on a really good TV. Haven't had it long enough to evaluate all features but my iPad hooked up to it with relative ease. As we do not have cable/satellite we use antenna but don't know if we can add individual channels or have to always go through a full scan.

Love the size!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the TV, the size is perfect. It does have some flaws though. At random the volume won't work at all. We end up having to shut it off and unplug it in order for it to work. The smartcast disconnects constantly and won't load. To me none of these are major issues just set backs when using. It's still the main TV we use at home.

Awesome definition but... SmartCast

We are enjoying our new TV's picture... however... SmartCast leaves much to be desired. There are a few apps, such as CrunchyRoll, that are not supported... that I would really like to see support for. Anytime we want to watch CrunchyRoll, I end up having to turn the XBox One on.... because Visio doesn't have an app for it. Another issue we have with SmartCast is quite frequently, at least 6 times since we got the tv almost 2 months ago, SmartCast just stops working completely. Even the buttons on the remote will not work, except for Netflix for some reason... However no apps, including Netflix, shows on SmartCast... the only resolution that I have found is unplugging the TV for 30 seconds and plugging it back in. It gets frustrating when you're doing this almost once a week.

Its ok... very glitchy

I really like this TV however there are a few major set-backs. 1) upon unboxing and set-up, expect to have to go through a cycle of updates (mine restarted 4x before finally taking me to the home screen). 2) I constantly have to reconnect to the internet even when it claims its connected but obviously not working. 3) sometimes its unresponsive, rather that be trying to turn it on or switching between app, which I contribute to #2 because once unconnecting and reconnecting to the wifi it works again. 4) it randomly turned itself back on one night (my remote was on the nightstand)

reply from Customer Service

Hello DeDaBr, during the initial setup your television may go through a few updates. This allows the television to ensure it has the latest firmware and capabilities available like Airplay support. Please reach out to our customer support at 877-878-4946 for assistance with your network connect as the television should not need to be reconnected as long as it is in a normal range and connected to a stable network.

Easy install and setup

Replacing another brand that just up and quit with Vizio was a great easy switch. Used same wall mount even with up in screen size. Features are great with new free channels showing clear and crisp videos and good sound. Easy to use menu and channel guide.

VIZIO IS FOR ME!!

I purchased my first Vizio several years ago and have never looked back. This tv is amazing as usual! Vizio has always had the most amazing picture quality and last so long. I purchased this one because I wanted the 4K and the larger screen due to my aging vision. The sound quality is amazing! Everything about Vizio including customer service and support is amazing!! I love Vizio! Nothing but VIZIO for me!!

Terrible!

I bought a Samsung tv last year and have really wanted a Vizio for a long. So we bought one for our new house to put in the living room and it is awful! It glitches off, it just shuts off without even touching the remote! I hate this tv I will be returning it and buying a Samsung!

Great tv and features but....

I've had this tv for about two and a half weeks and I love it so far it has SO many streaming apps on it and so many features like smart casting or Apple play. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it does not have HBO Max downloaded on the TV and so my boyfriend and I have to go on his PlayStation when we want to watch hbo max or I have to cast from my phone and it's such a hassle I wish I didn't have to do, I wish the tv had hbo max on it because my boyfriend and I use hbo max a lot :(( but it's still a great tv

Great TV, Great Company

My TV is working great. The apps are good and I am able to cast to it from my laptop and smartphone. The audio and video is great. Visio is a company that stands behind their product. They've replaced a couple of tvs that stopped working. One of them failed two months after the warrantee expired. I've been a customer since 1996 and plan on staying with them.

Great picture!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So happy with our new tv. The picture and color is fantastic. Works well with the hd channels. So many great smart tv features as well. Very thin and looks great in our living room. The sound quality was important to us and did not disappoint.
