great features all most.

It was good to see there was new apps on the tv, I was really disappointed when I was not able to load my two most used apps( Discovery+ and Hallmark channel). With the new tv I thought I was going to be able to get rid of the little back box to watch all my apps, not so. I still have to have it with the new tv. I purchased the new tv so I would be able to watch tv with out the other black box. Well that didn't happen.

Thank you for your feedback today! VIZIO TVs use a 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. Casting from one of your devices could potentially allow you to be able to remove that other black box out of the equation. If you have any questions or need any assistance, we are available through text message, chat, or over the phone. Just go to support.VIZIO.com and click on ‘Contact Us’.

1st Smart TV

Even though we have not used all of the features yet it is impressive. It's our 1st Smart TV so the incorporation of several streaming services into the system has been impressive. We've had no problems with overall functionality.Setting it up with our Spectrum cable system including WI-FI was easy.

Nothing but problems !

I purchased a 40" Vizio Tv recently and have nothing but trouble. The TV left the factory completely unfinished. I am constantly adjusting the color settings! I was told that the Firmware would require updating but only got some improvement. I'm really disappointed that the TV didn't have Bluetooth!

Hello Bob3065, sorry to hear you are not having a smooth experience. This model supports Bluetooth LE, which is a low energy form of bluetooth used to assist in pairing the VIZIO SmartCast Mobile application to use devices like smart phones and tablets as a remote for the TV. This TV is not designed to output audio over Bluetooth. You could purchase a Bluetooth transmitter and connect it to this TV to listen over Bluetooth. I would love the opportunity to have our technical support team learn more about the issues you are experiencing with color settings. When you have a free moment, they’re available through text message, chat, or over the phone. Just go to support.VIZIO.com and click on ‘Contact Us’.

Good TV BUT......

good tc but.....at times it looks like my internet speed is very low. The visual does drop especially when showing a dark scene. The dark areas of the screen looks very poor. I expected just a little more from VIZIO. All my tvs have been from Vizio and the visual presentation has always been great. So this is not great just ok.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this TV a year or so ago and from the start have disliked it. There is no TV guide at all so you have to flip through every channel and select info to see what's on that channel. The streaming format is not set up very well either. When you try to put your most used apps towards the front it resets after a day or 2. Just very disappointed in this product.

Wonderful TV with issues

I replaced a older model VISIO 65” TV with the newer model. The only issue I have encountered is when I adjust the volume. I have to wait about 60 seconds for a response from the TV to acknowledge the command. I have used the TV remote, the cable box remote, and the virtual remote in my iPhone. They all respond the same, which leads me to believe that the problem is the TV. ☹️

Vizio TV's for the win in my household

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought my first Vizio in 2003. I just bought my third one and all three work great. Love the new home screen/app screen they just updated to, so easy to find what you are looking for. I need to retire my first one at some point because it isn't "smart", but hard to do when it still works great. I personally will not buy any other brand. I have so many friends and family that have had issues with other TV's and I have never had one single issue with any of my three Vizio's.

First, No audio aft 4 days. Replcmnt, No Aud

After happy 5 years with an older, smaller Vizio in the living room, I add one to the bedroom. Bought this one, in-store at our local Wal-Mart, on Fri, 30 Nov 2020. Got it mounted on the wall after a couple days and second trip to WM. Worked great for 4 days, then it lost audio Friday evening 27 Nov. Messed with it for a few hours, but no joy. Took it down and back to WM (3rd trip) for exchange. Mounted the replacement, did all of the setup updates, etc. but it never had audio. After 15 mins, the replacement also lost its video/picture. Took the replacement off the wall the same night and back to WM (4th trip) yesterday for full refund. The third attempt, to cover the wall mount bracket that remains, will likely be another brand. WM employees were great and very understanding. They said that they have been getting MANY Vizio returns. So disappointed with Vizio! So disappointed with myself, that didn't I read (before today) more of the single star reviews here to see so many complaints of common audio problems.

Excellent Purchase!!!

To start, the packaging was well though/designed. Pulling out the unit was so easy after cutting the plastic band. The packaging slides off the unit easy without damaging the unit. Instructions were simple, it was set-up in no time. Mounting took a little time; I used Zanus brand mount and worked well with the unit. I have to spot the wall stud for the weight I am hanging. Its been working well for over a month without a problem. I don't mind buying another Vizio product.
