The worst television I own

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We get a lot of square inches per dollar spent. However, size does not matter here because it is the most annoying television to own. The software constantly crashes, so much so that I have to hard-reset the TV regularly. The black detail makes the picture worse than a 1990's pre-LED tv. Somehow there's styrofoam inside the screen. The sound is atrocious, as the tv rattles with low or loud sounds. This was so annoying that I had to buy external speakers. The app control constantly crashes or has buttons redirect you in an infinite loop, e.g., once you enter Watch Free, you will not be able to go to any other app until you perform a hard reset. I bought two of these TVs and only one shows pictures, the other only turns on for a maximum of eight seconds, so its just sat against the wall for about a year. You might think that the TV is such a good deal that you're willing to take the gamble. For your sanity, please do not. I cannot convince my wife that we need to replace it, so I'm stuck with a tv that has the lowest quality for any sports game and is the worst with video games.

Good Picture poor operating system

Purchased a couple months ago and is easily the worst TV ive purchased in the 4K era. I have two LGs 55" and 75" and three 40" Samsungs that are all much higher quality TVs than this. The picture itself is good quality but the operating system is absolute garbage. You will have to constantly hard reset the TV to make up for the lag. They have a watered down version of screen mirroring that is not compatible with many apps and websites. Spend the extra couple hundred bucks and get a better TV

Great picture

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this tv about 5 years ago, and it still works excellent. The picture quality is excellent, but I don't think it's quite as 'crisp' as it was during the first year or two. The only other thing that has always been pretty annoying is that I have to manually clear the cache quite frequently, by unplugging the television and then holding down the power button (in the back) for 10 secs. It seems to be required more and more frequently also (almost daily at this point), or else it just freezes... it's just annoying, but then the tv works fine again. Also, the app seems to be garbage. It only works every once in a while. Most of the time it won't "find" my tv. Lastly, and probably the worst thing about it, is that it doesn't have the mlb.tv app, which makes absolutely no sense to me. But, there's literally no way to use my subscription on this tv without spending a ton more money. I should just be able to download the app and login. If I had known that, I wouldn't have bought it.

Cheap

I bought two of these TVs a large one in a smaller one and I'm having nothing but problems with both of them oh, you're in the middle of watching a show or using my the apps and the TV will either shut itself off or go fuzzy and reverse to the home screen. Worst part is the remotes do not work no matter how many times you change the batteries there is a lag and volume control oh, and if you try to cast anything to the TV half the time it doesn't even show up.

Wonderful TV!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Vizio V-Series is phenomenal! The picture and sound are really top-notch. I have been looking for a good TV and with so many options out there, this one is really in the Top 5 for me. Vizio never falls short of what I am looking for in a TV. It is a perfect size and the colors are perfect. I highly recommend the VIZIO V-Series® 58" Class 4K HDR Smart TV. if you are looking for a great TV, with all the trimming for the right price, then this is the one for you!

It Has all the features we were looking for.

Bought it today. Got home and mounted on existing wall mount. Easy for 2 of us to do. Plugged it in and followed on screen instructions. Hooked up easy to wireless. It downloaded updates. This took a little while but was fine. Be patient. Hooked up my Roku and was up and running. About an hour or so. Picture is great. I do recommend, especially for the price.

Horrible tv

Worst tv ever. Randomly turns off. Screen randomly goes to black while playing, sound buzzes out and sounds fuzzy like bees. Sends random error messages for all the apps like Hulu and netflix and makes them not able to play anything. Had this less than two weeks. Garbage, will be returning to store.

Great picture but

I bought this to replace my fathers 50 inch and to do away with Roku. I like the picture quality but we still have to use the Roku because VISIO does not have an App Store. You can only use their approved Apps. If your purchase smartv you should not have to use a fire stick or Roku device.

Great looking 4k TV with good features

I bought this a month ago and so far it looks great and operates with no problems. I like that is has multiple HDMI input and audio out options. My only complaint is getting the input options to come up, sometimes it doesn't work when using a 4k player, roku or other external device and way to switch to another device. You have to click Home, and from there it will allow you to select input options. 4/5 stars for price, quality and features.
