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.

reply from Customer Care

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.

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!

Great technology

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The smart technology is working great with my youtubetv. Nothing has failed. I picked this tv because of the sound though and because someone gave us an old visio tv and it was small but it also worked good. So that's why I upgraded to two more visio 50" tvs.

It looks so strange and mysterious at night when it is off and everything is dark in my living room. It irradiates an odd glow it looks and feels like if it has a life all its own it's spooky it will take some getting used to it but I am beginning to like it. Ralph "Lizard Prince"

As advertised- a great monitor replacement!

I bought this on the CNET recommendation that this is the best 40” tv that you can use as a computer monitor. Boy does this deliver! Highly recommend. I use it in my recording studio and do not use it for gaming - though the 60hz refresh rate is zero issue with YouTube videos or recording scrub works w/o issue.

Great TV but had to reboot smartcast after 3 weeks

Have had this TV since Christmas and it is a nice tv the only thing that is annoying is that after only having it for a short time I had to reboot the TV due to smartcast having stopped working. In doing some research on it this apparently happens with Vizio Tv's.

Awesome TV

This is my third Vizio and I could not be happier! The last two are still playing flawlessly, just wanted a bigger screen. When I talked with the salesperson he started talking about another brand when I stopped him and said I was only interested in the Vizio brand. He just smiled and said follow me. Lol, in my opinion, best tv's available today.

Best TV out there by far

I bought this tv to replace a Vizio that I broke in my bedroom. I have nothing but Vizio tv's in my house I didn't think they could get any better then I bought this one and it blew me away. Definitely my favorite television ever. I will never by anything other than a Vizio.

Loving it!

I've had it for about five months. Bought one for the house and one for my 40'X60' shop. My shop is over 200' from my house and I have no cable or Dish in the shop. I can still watch a gazillion channels on the aps on the TV. Hardly no buffering at all. It's amazing. Sound system sucks! You definitely need a sound bar. But that's the only problem I've found. I'm loving it! This is my third Vizio TV.

TV

Enjoying the TV, although not happy that it did not come with a manual showing how to operate it, so it has been by trail and error. You ca go into Vizio but you have to sign up for some kind of membership and pay monthly to get the manual and I didn't want that so I have just been trying to figure the TV out on my own. Would enjoy the TV more if I knew how to operate it right.
