I have had a few HD and 4k sets over the past few years, from the likes of Samsung, LG, Vizio, and others. Of all of them, the Vizio has the worst user interface of any of them. Not very intuitive, lacking some controls that are available on other sets, and a menu system that makes you hunt for the setting you're looking for. That said, the picture quality is pretty good, the connectivity options are great, and it is the perfect size for the armoire that used to house a CRT TV a long time ago. Finding a 4k TV in a 40" form factor is difficult, and the picture quality on this one did not disappoint.

I wouldn't really call it a smart TV. You can't download apps that aren't already pre-installed. I don't use iHeartRadio, I use Spotify. So I'm unable to download the app to listen to music through my television like I normally do. You can use Alexa to manipulate the TV, but only when it's on. Alexa can't turn on or off the TV.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was a great television for a while, but then there were several times when updates would freeze up the system and cause the TV to not turn on. I would have to force several factory resets to get it right. This has happened about 4 times since getting it at the end of 2019. However, so far, this latest update seems to be more stable compared to passed updates. Great television in terms of visual quality and performance. I gave it 3 stars due to the difficulties getting it to run again when it decides to randomly quit.

This TV has excellent picture quality. But the kicker is how great it is with your Apple products and how well you can quickly move from your phone to send it to the screen with the airplay system integrate it right into it. Awesome set up and blows away Sony and Sanyo TV models that struggle to work with Apple products.

I bought this Tv a few days ago so I could upgrade from a 43" smart Roku tv to this 58" Vizio TV and I absolutely love the upgrade. Everything syncs together well and all the apps move pretty quickly with no lag time. I did have a little issue with connecting to WiFi when I first got the tv but after a factory reset and registering the product everything went smooth. I like the bult in Chromecast cuz I like to mirror stuff from my phone all the time but the 4k picture this tv puts out is amazing. Def did a great job on this product the only thing I would recommend is a voice button on the remote or someway to reach the Google home or Vizio cast app from the original tv remote so customers would have the option to use the remote by itself instead of using multiple devices at one time like the remote and your cellphone. All around good job guys.

Up graded cause out old Vizeo was going out. after 9 years of heavy use. Vizeo products are great equipment for the price. This Product has great picture and the online aspect of this version is way better then the older version. Color is amazing and a crisp clear picture. The sound is very high quality for tv speakers over all would purchase again

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this a year ago for my mom for Christmas! She enjoys the excellent picture quality. I hooked up my ps5 and the gaming engine for the tv does not disappoint and really shows its power! I may buy another for me!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To put this review in context, we already own three other Vizio TVs - a 75" P-Series, a 75" M-Series, and a 70" E-Series (as well as multiple 3.1 and 5.1 soundbars and Crave Pro smart speakers). First impressions on opening the box are this is more of the same - a sleek modern design with the typically excellent fit and finish we have come to expect of Vizio products. The bezel is extremely thin with a very attractive brushed finish, so no distractions from glare or reflections from lights. The feet are the same concept throughout all the various series, again a matt black finish to ensure they don't detract from the viewing experience. The main difference between the V-Series and the other more expensive models is the materials are plastic rather than metal, but that is to be expected at this price point. Visually however, it's impossible to tell and is no less pleasing to look at. The remote control is very similar to the ones we have for the other TVs but it has had an update and redesign with additional buttons and pleasingly, it now has a flat base so rests in a horizontal position, rather than dipping down at the front. Oh, and before I forget, the bag the TV comes in with the grab handles is an ingenious idea. It makes it easy for one person to remove it from the box, without having to try and stretch your arms around each side. The power, input and volume controls are all on the rear of the TV - which is how the bezel is able to be so thin - and gives it a very clean look. In 5 years though I don't think we've ever touched the controls on any of the TVs - we use the remote, a phone/tablet (SmartCast Mobile), or Google Assistant to control them all. Also on the rear are all the inputs and outputs you will ever need: a coaxial input for cable or satellite, composite analog input and audio output (it's debatable whether anyone uses those these days), an optical output for a receiver or soundbar, an ethernet port (although it has wi-fi built in so likely won't be used), a USB port for playing media from a thumb drive, and three HDMI ports, one of which is ARC enabled. First power on goes through the standard set up - choosing the language, country, etc. then connect to the network using the built in wi-fi, and finally a software update check. A couple of updates were required which took around 10 minutes to complete and then the TV was ready to use. Out of the box, the display is set to "Bright" mode. I always find this a little bit too vivid and artificial and as all of our TV watching is in the evening, it's just too intense. Fortunately, Vizio TVs have built in pre-set modes and "Calibrated Dark" is the one all of our TVs are set to. A quick word on the menu operation - it's one of the easiest I've used: simple, straightforward, and intuitive. It just works. The picture quality across all of the various inputs is superb - sharp and clear, good colour rendition, and decent blacks, and as it's 4K Ultra HD, incredibiy detailed. Blu-ray is particularly impressive but even the various streaming services produce great depth with no smearing or streaking. The huge number of built in apps such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ AppleTV, etc. makes finding and viewing content simple and avoids the need to cast from a device to the TV, although you can still do that if you wish. There's also a dedicated set of free channels, as well as Crackle, Pluto TV, and others, so you don't need to subscribe to multiple paid services to find something to watch. The one thing this TV doesn't have is a dedicated HDMI input for gaming, but at my age, any kind of input lag is the least of my problems when battling hordes of zombies! Sound is adequate considering the size of the speakers - you're not going to get any room shaking bass but it is clear and there is an option to enhance the dialogue. There is also the choice of surround sound mode or equalizer, allowing you to fine tune the overall sound. To really do the picture quality justice though, you need to upgrade to an external soundbar (or receiver and speakers), which is what we'll be doing. The USB port which allows you to play audio, videos, and still pictures is handy ... perfect for slideshows on those family get togethers which everyone loves ;-) Yes, if you put this TV side by side with a P series then you can see where the extra expense is involved, but if you were to do a blind comparison with a similar sized M series then you would be hard pushed to tell the difference. Overall, for the price, this TV is incredible value for money and performs way better than I expected. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one.

I bought this a week ago after my old tv died. I love the picture and sound of the vizio tv better than most all other brands. The colors are very good and with high detail. The sound is great, I rarely need the volume past 10 in the living room. Keep up the great work Vizio.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this TV new in box in 2023 (so 3 years after it came on the market. The firmware updated during setup, and went smoothly. Others have complained about the speaker/sound quality. I will join that group, but it's not that bad. If you want good sound quality, buy a soundbar (which is funny, because the only reason I am submitting this review is to enter for a chance to win a VIZIO soundbar- maybe its all part of some master plan to get people to submit reviews?) I like the picture quality and style. Most things are fairly intuitive to figure out. Overall good rating, and I'm happy with the quality.
