The best brand of TV

I have never owned another brand of TV and I don't plan to because I've never had an issue with any Vizio I've ever owned. I've been purchasing Vizio since 2012 and I've only purchased 3. One is a 2012 and is still in my living room. Works perfectly and has been through 4 household moves. My second one was in my bedroom. I recently gifted it to a friend because I wanted a bigger TV in my bedroom, so I bought a third. Great TVs and a great value.

Great UI update!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this TV in March of 2020, and it's been great! The best thing about this has been it's longevity and the recent 2023 UI update. The update looks much cleaner and makes navigating to apps or new shows way easier. The integration with the Vizio app has also been a huge plus!

4K Issue

I've always purchased Vizio TVs and been very happy but not with this one. Please note with this model if you have Directv the 4K setting will not be recognized. Iv'e tried various troubleshooting tips. After doing some research this appears to be an issue that Vizio & Directv are aware that exists. from what the site said Vuzio is expected to put a patch out but that was 6 months ago on the site. If you don't care about the 4K the TV is fine.

I love Vizio!!!

Some years back I was looking for a TV replacement as at the time I was buying Westinghouse which was not good, so I bought a 22" Vizio full HD tv, and I have been hooked since. Now, I only buy Vizio. I later bought a 25" Vizio TV, a 39" full hd tv, and now this one I bought for my next gen 4K consoles along with my PS4 Pro, and Xbox 1X, and I absolutely love it. Not only is the price fantastic but for the money this tv is pretty great quality wise, so I am so happy with my purchase. I use it as a PC monitor and for my videogame consoles, and movies also look great on it. Highly recommend Vizio, as a company as I love their products.

Wide selection of features

I bought this TV because I currently own a Vizio 32 inch TV that I purchased over 10 years ago. So. I upgraded to this 50" Vizio because of my experience with my 32 inch Vizio's reliability. The picture quality is not as lively as my 42 inch LG TV that I had before its screen started flickering; so I decided to get another Vizio based on Vizio's reliability.

Easy set up, good tv for price

Overfall am happy with the tv. The set up was very user friendly. The instructions say that you can change the name of the inputs but when I go the the settings menu where you should be able to accomplish that, there no "Input Name" on the menu as shown in the manual.

Outstanding value. Packed with premium features!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Three years ago, I was introduced to VIZIO's SmartCast M-Series HDTVs. At that time 4K (2160p) displays were the mainstream standard, with HDR (High Dynamic Range) being the new must-have feature for Ultra-HD home theater displays. Since then, 4K HDR Smart TV's with improved Stream/Casting features have become the market standard. For the 2021 model year, VIZIO has adapted by dividing their HDTV product lines between value-driven and premium-feature consumers. For under $300 you get a 58-inch 4K UHD display loaded with HDR10+ support, SmartCast 4.0 technology, 802.11n Dual Band Wi-Fi, and VIZIO's new V-Gaming Engine featuring Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and AMD FreeSync. In this review, I test the VIZIO V585x-H1 58″ 4K HDR Smart TV. This review covers the 58″ VIZIO V585x-H1 model, which joins a wide selection of value-priced 4K displays available in the following size classes: 40″, 43″ 50″, 55″, 58″, 60″ 65″, 70″, and 75″. VIZIO's entire V-Series shares identical performance hardware features and connectivity options, regardless of panel size-class. Each arrives with a one-year VIZIO Parts & Labor warranty, and free Lifetime Technical Support. Panels on VIZIO V-series displays deliver a 60 Hz effective refresh rate, and presented in 16:9 aspect ratio. VIZIO's proprietary Ultra Color Spectrum technology delivers a wide color gamut, and offers a dynamic contrast ratio of 200,000:1. VIZIO V-Series black levels are reproduced by a full-array local dimming solution, which is to be expected considering their value pricing. VIZIO's M- and P-series panels offer increasingly-impressive local dimming zones that deliver incredible black levels – for an added price. This 58″ VIZIO V585x-H1 model measures 51.38″ x 32.43″ x 10.24″ (1305.05 mm x 823.72 mm x 260.1 mm) with the stands installed, and weighs 32-lbs (14.6 Kg). Without the stands, this display measures 51.38″ x 30.02″ x 3.39″ (1305.05 mm x 762.51 mm x 86.11 mm) for panel only. If you plan to wall-mount this display, the VESA-compliant mounting pattern measures 300 mm x 300 mm, and accepts M6 screws up to 14 mm long. The viewable angle for V-Series panels is 178° horizontal, and 178° vertical. All 2021 V-Series home theater displays feature 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz dual band 802.11n Wi-Fi. Users wo are in need of Bluetooth or 802.11ac connectivity should look to VIZIO's M- or P-Series HDTVs. With such a streamlined feature package, power consumption is one area where the V-series shines. In standby mode, power consumption is a miserly half-watt or less for this 58″ display. During typical use, power consumption rises to only 90 Watts for the VIZIO V585x-H1 model. Energy Guide estimates $20 yearly cost based on 5 hours/day. Smart TV's have come a long way since their introduction, and VIZIO's SmartCast 4.0 technology proves that point with widespread compatibility for their budget V-series lineup. Every popular streaming app is supported, but if you find yourself wanting to ‘cast' to the TV from another device, it can be done from any of the following platforms: Android 4.4+, iOS 9.0+, Mac OS 10.9+, Chrome 28+, and Windows 7+. While offered to the value market, the backside of V-series Smart TVs deliver some premium features not typically available at this price segment. 4K HDR panels aside, you get a wide array of connectivity options: three HDMI 2.1 ports, Composite, Ethernet, USB 2.0, and an over-the-air TV tuner – something not available on many 4K displays. Two rear/bottom-firing 10W speakers offer decent audio output, with good mid and high-range reproduction. Outputs on the V-series include three HDMI 2.1 ports with eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel), a Digital Audio output (TOSLINK, S/PDIF), and an Analog Audio output to enable sound to a wide variety of legacy home theater devices. The USB 2.0 port is specified for storage devices formatted with a FAT32 partition, but NTFS also works. VIZIO's SmartCast mobile app is available for those who keep a device handy at all times, but for everyone else the XRT140 remote control is more than capable. This remote adds six quick-launch buttons at the top, along with a Watch Free button to browse over-the-air and streaming stations. Two Duracell AAA batteries are included for the remote. If all else fails, a basic set of power, volume, and input select buttons are available at the side of the display. Much of 2020 has been spent at home, with plenty of free time consumed by seeking relief in front of the TV. These conditions push value to the forefront of consumer concerns, and place added interest in the market segment. VIZIO's 2021 V-series models account for this, and strike the ideal balance of premium features with budget-friendly pricing. For under $300 you get a 58-inch 4K UHD display with HDR10+ support, versatile casting compatibility, full streaming service support, a wide variety of input and output connections, and VIZIO's new V-Gaming Engine featuring Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) with AMD FreeSync. As I evaluated the VIZIO V585x-H1, it was difficult to avoid comparisons to the M-series products that I already own. Really, there were only two standout features missing from V-series: 1) Wireless-AC compatibility, which, if I'm being honest, has no perceivable impact on streaming service quality when compared against Wireless-N, and 2) local dimming zones for darker black levels, which are actually still nice and dark with full-array local dimming. I've handled this 58″ VIZIO V585x-H1 display more than most people will handle their home theater television during its entire product lifetime. I've wall mounted it, and moved it to three different table top locations. I've turned it over several times, and handled it while going up and down stairs. This display is very rigid, and quite durable. VIZIO provides a one-year warranty to the original purchaser against defect in materials and workmanship for non-commercial usage and ninety (90) days of commercial use. Limited technical support is provided for the life of this product. If a SmartCast M-series product covered by warranty is defective, VIZIO will either repair or replace the unit. Consumers may reach VIZIO technical support at techsupport@vizio.com, or by telephone at 877-698-4946. In conclusion, I recommend the 2021 VIZIO V-series displays for budget-minded consumers wanting a versatile 4K Smart HDTV with HDR10+ and a full compliment of streaming services and casting compatibility. Heading into Black Friday priced under $300 for this 58″ model, you cannot possibly go wrong.

It's ok.

I bought this actually a few years ago. It's over all a decent tv. Sometimes it freezes. And sometimes it just turns off for no reason. I'm not a huge fan of not being able to add apps that I want. But it was a good price and it does pretty much all I need.

Vizio smartcast is everything you need!

We LOVE our Vizio smartcast tv's! We have purchased a total of 3. We have 2 and gifted one. The picture is clear. The menu area is easy to navigate. Chromecast BUILT IN!! No more plug in on the back of the tv! I can cast from my phone, tablet or laptop to the tv screen. You can access SO MANY apps from the menu, too many to list! On top of all of that, you get 140 FREE channels! You can watch game shows, court shows, movies, westerns, shows and more!! You can DITCH THE CABLE with this tv! The only negative is the volume. We have to turn it up to about 43 to hear it well. Other than that, this is the best tv we have ever owned! I recommend them to people ALL THE TIME! A personal care home where I volunteer has even purchased them!
