Brighter then most others, took me a little while to figure out how to keep it from turning on by itself. Build quality seems really good, have seen better blacks and whites but that was on TV's costing 3 or 4 times as much. I highly recommend used a line conditioning surge protector intermittent spikes of current can easily damage your TV.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very sad. The picture was great for just under 2 years. Then, I woke up to turn it on and find a 2 pixel wide line from top to bottom. Other TVs I've had over the last 10 years have lasted 4-5 years.

I bought this TV after doing a fair amount of research. I knew that it should have a pretty solid picture and be a decent smart tv, and it is. Their are just too many small things about it that bother me, such as the volume inexplicably cutting out while watching programs or gaming, the Smartcast feature being extremely slow or glitching altogether, and this is actually the second of this tv that i had. The first one i purchased had dead cells out of the box and had to be exchanged. It does have a nice picture and gives you most features you would want from a smart tv, but it will come with some annoyances.

Awesome tv. Beautiful picture. But.. 2 problems i had that made me return it. 1. Low sound but not a huge problem being i have a sound bar from when i had n still use the vizio 3D tv (forget model #). 2. The real problem is that the tv would shut off n reboot on its own. It wasnt the auto off because it would turn back on. It did this randomly. Also.. It would somehow lose connections with the hdmi ports and to get It back id have to change inputs on the remote and change back. That was really annoying. I tried everything from resetting the tv.. To power cycle. Nothing worked. Aside from that tho.. Great tv. I wish i had it back and working properly.

This TV is a very good value, and the picture is outstanding for the price. I like the design a lot, and it worked seamlessly out of the box with the AppleTV and the wireless here in the house. Setup was a breeze. I gather from research that presenting the color black faithfully is very difficult for TVs, and this TV has a mid-range number of zones to accomplish this; what it has works very well, and I'm not sure I'd notice any improvement were I to have a TV with more such zones. I like the picture a lot. Arrived in good shape, likely owing to the well-considered packaging. Although it makes it more handsome once it's on the wall, there's not much bezel on this TV; so, watch where you're putting your fingers when you lift it. Follow the instructions on the box flap -- big help. I mounted it to the wall in my den with a mounting kit I ordered separately. It looks great! The jacks on the back for power, HDMI, and such are all well thought out -- they don't jut directly out toward the wall but run parallel to the wall. This allows for closer mounting to the wall. If you plan to mount it to the wall, I highly recommend getting a mounting kit with a joint that allows you to pivot the top of the screen forward a bit. My kit only allows up to 8 degrees, but it makes a world of difference squelching glares and to get the full experience while reclined in the LaZBoy. I've been buying Samsung TVs for years. This is my first VIZIO. I'm very impressed so far, and I'm very happy I didn't have to pay thousands of dollars to get the picture quality this TV offers.

The set itself is amazing. We view our TV via antenna, having cut the cord a few years back. Color and picture quality are even better than the TV this set replaces, also a Vizio. The on-screen prompts to move through various apps are easily understood. The only problem I have is with the remote. The quality of the remote is lacking in my view. The buttons are hard to press (I have arthritis in my hands) and it just feels cheap as I hold it. Fortunately, most of our viewing is through our TIVO box, and that remote works well. We like a couple of apps that are supported by this TV Smartcast but not by our TIVO. To use them, we have to resort to the TV remote, and it can be aggravating! But, that said, we are very pleased with the quality of the TV itself, and would definitely buy again!

I bought a 55 inche Tv about 2 weeks ago...It has been pretty good...just after start up the whole screen went pink...then it had 2 like lightning streaks across the screen..both times I tune it off and restarted it..no problems since..the last new one i bought failed at 18 months no warranty...we will see what happens

TV looks great and was sold at a great price but we've had lots of issues with the TV turning itself off, or resetting itself, crashing out of apps, not allowing apps to run. I've owned the TV for 3 months and have contacted Vizio Support 4 times. Everytime they tell me to do the same thing and the problem comes right back. Seems like people having same issue with screen going fuzzy grey and turning off. Vizio support could not find solution.

I have purchased several Vizio TV's over the past 10- 15 years. My first one was a 32". I still use this one in my bedroom EVERYNIGHT. I have not had one problem with any Vixio I have purchased. If you take the time to compare Vizio to their competitors, you will learn the Vizio is more advanced (upgraded) than their competitors offering, and Vizio will beat them on price too. I almost pulled the trigger on a 56" Samsung and then my wife asked me why I wasn't looking at Vizio (smart wife). I looked a little longer and am now gettin ready to purchase a 65" Vixio for less money than the Samsung. The Vizio is 2 or 3 times more upgraded than the Samsung and the price difference is less that $20 more for the Vizio. What would you do Buy an outdated Samsung or add $20 and get the equivilant of a tv that has features at least twice that of the Samsung (example Samsung 60 mzh. Vizio 120 mzh. That is Vizio TV refreshing the picture 120 times per second vs 60 times for Samsung). That's important to me! YOU? No I not affiliated with Vizio in any manner. I am loyal to them because they have earned my loyalty.

Our family have been in the market for a new TV, I've been researching for a few months and always came back to this Visio M series. Waited just long enough to see the price go down and then we were able to up size for the same price of the smaller one. I would buy a second one if I had a free wall to put one!
