Streaming services unavailable

I bought this TV for myself after having the same TV for more than 15 years. I'm very disappointed that the two streaming services I use the most, HBO and Spotify, are not available on it. It also seems like I am not able to download them either. I feel like I wasted the money that I spent on this TV. I probably won't buy a Vizio again.

Hello Raimy, 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. If you’d like any help taking advantage of all the options VIZIO has to enjoy your content, our customer service team would be happy to speak with you at 844-254-8087.

Long Lasting

This is the 6th "Vizio" TV set, that I have purchased. And all are still in working condition. Giving some to my family, and the existing ones in my house not a one has stopped. The only reason I bought this one is because of size and a smart tv. Never needed service on any one of them.

Already requiring factory resets

We've owned two for about 2 months and both have required a couple of factory resets for various reasons. The most recent was one of the units decided it would quit playing the audio of any show. It's just a haste to reset and then having to log in to all the apps again…

Everything worked well before the Update

I bought this tv over 6 months ago. Since then a new update has taken place where I can no longer use the Picture Aspect function. Before you had normal, stretch, wide and zoom. Now this is no longer available, only Normal. You have to go further down the Picture function in the menu to make picture adjustments and only stretch by using the remote. I spoke with the techs twice but no resolve to this issue. I used this function with my sony blue ray wifi player to watch older movies and was able to stretch but no longer. Problem is not with the TV but with the update which needs to be resolved.

Watch Free did it for me

We recently "cut the cord" with the cable company but have had trouble trying to pull in a steady signal with an antenna. This VIZIO, with its' Watch Free feature, has greatly alleviated that problem as I now have dozens of channels that O have access to through our home's wi-fi.

Balanced

It's been a year since I bought the TV. I enjoy the content that is offered, and resolution is good. Had to get a soundbar to make sound better. Have had a few problems, such as Google Home unlinking which required a soft cycle power, and sometimes the SmartCast App does not work appropriately and lag here and there. However, the price was not bad for this kind of TV.

Questions

Im writing to see why Ive gotten no reply on my 55" vizio tv that will not start. Little light lights up then goes out, nothing else, Only a couple years old, should last a lot longer. Where can I take it in minneapolis to have it looked at and repaired, or are they not worth it these days ?

Super easy interface. Very compatible with devices

Bought this 4 days ago and even though I'm still in the honeymoon phase, I love this thing. The simple and super easy interface makes watching any streaming service easy. Watching HIMYM on Hulu Boom!!! done, need a break to watch The Office on Netflix,for now, QUICK FAST in a Flash we are there.

My 2nd review!

Hi thanks for trying to improve my tv! I wrote y'all a review weeks ago and I saw minor improvements on my channel searching but there's still a 2 second delay when pressing the numbers on my remote. I highly appreciate y'all trying though. My second review is about downloading more apps into the TV. I wanted to download the Showtime app so I can see occasional boxing matches but I couldn't find the app on the TV. The Showtime app on my phone wouldn't let me screencast it into the TV so I thought the Showtime app on the TV would make it easier. You have a boxing fan here so just a heads up!
