Far From the Tree

I have owned Vizio Tvs in the past with great satisfaction. It is not so with this one. Limited app selection, no web browser capabilities, sound and picture signal often requires unplugging when switching between inputs due to loss sound and picture. Remote is not programmable for use in place of cable remote. Lastly, I just put it up though I purchased it a few months ago, so no return option. This apple has fallen far from the tree.

Hello NT2NICE808, This TV uses our SmartCast Platform which offers a host of built in apps, as well as support for Google's Chromecast, Apple's AirPlay 2, and voice support for SIRI, Google Home, and Alexa. You are not able to manually download additional apps, however new apps are added to the platform often. If you find there is an app you want to watch that is not on SmartCast you may be able to cast it using Chromecast or Apple AirPlay from your phone or mobile device. While the TV remote cannot be programmed as a universal remote, typically the remote from your cable provider is programmable. If you’d like any help taking advantage of all the options VIZIO has to enjoy your content or for assistance with audio and video loss, our customer service team would be happy to speak with you at 844-254-8087.

Awesome TV

Replaced older smaller non smart TV, wall mount transferred over was hooked up in less than 5 minutes, setup walks you though and worst part was about a 10 minute firmware update loop, Apple cast is great, works flawless and our existing Visio sound bar/sub linked right up. Picture is amazing especially 4K media

Great TV for the price.

This is my second VIZIO. I bought a 55" two years ago and its still has amazing picture quality. So when it came time to buy a new tv for my bedroom it wasn't a question on brand. Vizio in my opinion has the best app software, and picture quality for the price.

Clear & sharp screen

Love my Vizio smart TV!! Great features, for a reasonable price. Got a 55" and the weight of the TV is super light, easy to setup and lift/ move around. I love the built in alexa and google feature. Also, the easy access feature buttons on the remote for netflix, hulu.etc. The images are sharp and super clean, the sound/volume is awesome too. This tv also offers a video guide to setup soundbar, which I also installed quickly. A Vizio Smart TV is the way to go!! Highly recommended

Not quite as advertised

While the quality of the tv itself and general features are excellent, Vizio did a REALLY dumb thing.... All of the streaming apps are PRELOADED (and a bit bloaty) with no way to download apps- you still have to cast from another device if it isnt on the list. THE MAIN REASON I bought a "smart" tv was to avoid this- my older tv has Chromecast added on- and I wanted to upgrade to an all-in-one format. So if you want to use popular apps like sling, disney+, hbo hho, etc... Its back to a decade ago. Smart tv? More like slave tv. I strongly suggest you make a software jailbreak for this, vizio.

Great TV, with some flaws

Picture and sound are really good for the price. My only issues are the quality of the remote, and the glitchy software. Batteries drain fast on the remote. TV software; apps periodically won't start, tv will randomly shut off or will take a long time to boot up. I've done the updates and have done factory resets. The layout of everything is a bit convoluted too. With all that said, it's still a great tv and I'm glad I made the purchase.

So Far the Best TV I have ever owned.

Hugh, clear, focused and defined picture. The internal speaker sound is good. I have a set of powered speakers and this TV has an external speaker out. The sound volume can be raised and lowered just like the internal sound with your controller. It is a smart TV and offers more than I will probably ever use. The setup was easy the TV searches the systems in your house and connects thru WiFi after you punch in your address code. Extremely happy with the purchase of this TV.

Great TV

I've never had a bad product from Vizio and I'm willing to bet I never will either. The 4k UHD quality is phenomenal. The sound is perfect, which is rare these days with TVs. It has a great range of apps and I'm sure, in time, they will add newer apps for some new streaming services. Overall I cannot complain about anything because, well, there's nothing wrong!!!

Great picture poor documentation and limitied apps

I bought this just before the holidays. I needed a screen that would fit within a cabinet. There ae limited options around the 40 inch size. The picture is great but the documentation and the number of apps are limited compared to the Amazon Firefox enabled Toshiba product.

Lots of options.

I'm a 66 year old woman and have to say it was technically easy for me. I have enjoyed all the special features. Only drawback is that my model is not Bluetooth compatible. Didn't realize this at the time of purchase. So when purchasing make sure your model has this.
