Not as Smart as expected.

I purchased the unit thinking it was superior to the ROKU Streaming Stick. I was wrong. Compared to the ROKU device, it leaves a lot to be desired. You are limited to the chanels Vizio has selected, with no option to add chanels. The picture clarity is extremely poor compared to my previous Visio TV(not a smart TV)

Hi rob1948, in today’s market with so many apps it can be difficult to find the content you’re looking for. VIZIO is committed to giving consumers access to as much streaming content as possible. SmartCast televisions deliver today’s most popular apps like Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and others on the SmartCast TV home screen. The TVs also come with Watchfree, a no cost service that provides hundreds of channels with no additional purchase or registration requirements. SmartCast televisions also support Google Chromecast and Apple AirPlay 2 so that you can share content from the latest applications on your phone, tablet, or computer directly to the TV. We appreciate your feedback and will make sure to continue adding features and applications in the future. If you’d like any help taking advantage of all the options VIZIO has to enjoy your content, or to discuss the best places to get your favorite shows after ‘Cutting the Cord’ from your cable company, our customer service team would be happy to speak with you at 855-833-3221.

It's decent

I bought this tv a couple of weeks ago because it was the cheaper option that my husband wanted me to buy. ( I would have preferred a Samsung because I am more familiar with the brand and the apps it has available.) This tv is ok, there are only 85 apps available and it does not have any available for download. This includes HBO Max, Crunchyroll, Funimation, CW, SYFY, AMC+, and a host of others. If I want to see anything from those apps I have to cast it. (Which I hate having to do). It does have Chrome Cast and Air Play already installed so no extra equipment to buy there so I guess that's a plus but let me reiterate, you CANNOT download any other apps besides the ones on the main screen. There is no app store. Once you get used to all of the above, it is otherwise a decent tv. The color and sound are good and it does have Hulu, Netflix, Disney +, Prime video, and a few other popular apps already loaded and their navigation buttons are on the remote. I got around the other apps not being available by installing an Amazon Fire Stick. It's also very easy to link up a console for gaming. I really don't care for the brand all that much because I am a diehard Samsung fan for life but it is a decent tv for the money and if you don't care about what brand you buy but there is definitely room for improvement.

Great Features.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the TV! Love the apps already they're ready for you to access. Easy to nagivate the features of the TV…changing the difference “brightness” of the shows you are watching. Just wish there was a way to download apps for extra customization

Excellent picture, loaded with apps

Bought this TV a couple of weeks ago, we bought another one just like it 8 months ago, because the picture, and sound quality, are excellent. My only problem with these sets is that they need to be more sturdy!!! The reason for the second purchase, in 8 months, is because I accidentally brushed against the first one, and it fell, the frame bent when I caught it mid air, which messed up the picture....now has a horizontal line across the screen!!! It us a good bedroom TV though!!

Easy setup

This tv is the easiest to set up. I had no trouble adding on a soundbar, which normally takes forever! The picture is great and the sound is also pretty darn good, since I have a hearing disability. Don't always need closed captions with this tv. Thanks!

nice features but...

have had this for about 2 months, like some of the features but picture quality, especially blacks, very poor. When I try to open the owner manual, will only open 1 out of every 5-10 attempts. Picture quality is not even close to floor model I looked at, regardless of input. My older vizio has a much better picture

Hello beltsandhose, at VIZIO we pride ourselves on our highly rated picture quality. To make sure you’re getting the most out of your VIZIO TV, we’d recommend making sure your devices are connected with an HDMI cable, and are set to broadcast in 4K (2160p) or Full HD (1080p). You can also individually adjust your picture settings in the menu. For brighter rooms, try using the ‘VIVID’ picture mode for a brighter, more colorful image. Another good way to see the full capabilities of the TV would be to search for "4K HDR" in the YouTube app. As long as your network connection is able to support speeds needed for 4K HDR content, there are some amazing looking videos. If you’d like any assistance adjusting these settings, our customer support team would love to help you dial in the TV to your preference, you can reach them at 844-254-8087.

Great for the price

This tv fits like a glove in my entertainment center. The color is good and the setup was easy once I was able to install the firmware update. Getting the update not exactly seamless, though. My only dissatisfaction is the number of apps available. I have to screen cast to get HBO Max. Streaming just gives a much better experience.

Great product for a great price

I bought this tv about two weeks ago and so far so good. This is my first Vizio brand tv and I was very impressed with the quality and features of this tv. The fact this tv offers free channels is a major plus especially with cable being a thing of the past. I'm very happy with this product from the picture quality to the sound. Great tv overall for a very reasonable price. I will definitely be purchasing more of these TVs in the future.

Works when it wants...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have had this TV for quite some time and this is the first time they asked for a review. Ever since day one, it had been nothing but problems with this TV. Freezing issues, sluggish performance, screen quality has gotten worst (irregular brightness across screen), can't connect with the app, can't Google cast, and more. Vizio had replaced the circuit boards multiple times and even replaced the entire TV and still no real improvement. When I tried to get my money back they were no help. I have a Vizio sound bar and it has similar performance issues... Needless to say, I won't buy a Vizio product again. Sad when you want to support US companies and they can't provide a good product.
