Amazing Picture Quality
I'm not sure you can find a better TV for the price. I needed a 43" 4K display for my PC, which also serves as a bedside TV for late night movies and such. This works great for both. As a television, it's simply awesome. The colors are so bright and vivid, it's like they jump out at you. Screen is nice and bright and the blacks are good even in a dark room. It's very impressive, I trusted reviews when ordering and did not look at a store display beforehand-- overall I'm thoroughly pleased. The smart-TV features are good. I haven't used Smart TVs a great deal except older models whose apps are pretty basic, but this one is pretty feature rich and does everything I need it to do-- Netflix and all the popular streaming services are there (though I don't know about Disney+) and work well. The HDR mode works great in Netflix, though I haven't used it enough to discern any big difference in picture quality. Setup menu is fairly basic but everything you need is in there. Some of the settings for picture (like film mode, black level, other settings) disappear and reappear depending on what video mode you're in (HDR, 4K, 1080P). I haven't quite figured out why or what settings are best for each, so that portion is a bit convoluted. Remote control is simple, but seemingly well built and intuitive. All the necessary functions are there, but it doesn't go much beyond that. As a PC/computer monitor, it was a bit frustrating to set up. For those technical savvy, 4:4:4 chrome subsampling isn't in the menu anymore after a recent firmware update for the TV, and by default the TV will use 4:4:4 YCbCr which is not ideal; 4:4:4 RGB is the correct mode for PC and the TV simply ignores that setting, even when you choose it in display properties. This affects small text a great deal, there will be halos around the text making it difficult to read. I found a workaround online- in your ATI / Nvidia / Intel control panel you create a custom resolution for 4K 60hz refresh rate. Make sure 4K resolution and 60hz refresh is put in there, then under "timing standard" use CVT-RB (or CVT reduced blanking). Leave everything else default. Once you do this, the TV will display in 4:4:4 RGB chroma, and the text is perfectly crisp and readable. No idea why this is so difficult or why Vizio got rid of this setting in the menu, but at least there IS a workaround or this would have been a deal breaker for me. Display is great on PC, colors as rich and vibrant as they are when using as a TV. The only quirk is that if you sit quite close to the screen, the edges/corners of the screen lose some contrast because the viewing angle isn't great. This isn't a fault of the TV, but rather it's inherent in the VA panels these TVs use, but I knew that going in. If you sit a couple feet back, it's not really an issue and doesn't bother me. Overall the TV seems like a quality product through and through. It looks nice, the actual screen has a very nice kind-of-glossy finish (doesn't look like cheap matte plastic like some do) that isn't very reflective, which is great. Glad I purchased it and would recommend to others, with that caveat that it's a bit of a challenge to get it set up correctly for PC use.

Ow, my eyes!
Ok, if you want to be blasted in the face by vivid colors, then here you go! I also have a Google home mini, so it's fun to tell the TV to turn off when your partner is in the middle of a video game to get their attention to do something meager, like dishes. Then watch as they shout to bring it back on. Don't worry, we both are bad at this. Order out and play with the features this TV has together! Keep in mind if you have an older model with a middle wide base, the small metal feet on the sides will go beyond the normal entertainment center by mere inches. I just bought a 3 foot board from home improvement (~20 bucks) and done. (Pic included) The sound isn't bad, but it's coming I believe from the bottom speaker. Maybe invest in a sound bar if you wish. I love that with the built in chromecast, I save a USB port when I'm plugging in the Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and whatever else is available. The mirror screening from my Chromebook is just superb. OK, for the price and all I said, it really is a great buy!

Why aren’t more people buying this TV
I was on the fence with a Samsung and an LG 43” TV for my bedroom. Then I read the reviews about Vizio and decided to look deeper into the reviews. I must say, I’m so glad I did. I mostly;use my AppleTV to watch TV, and the video playback is sharp and crisp. I watch TV at an angle and I don’t see any loss of definition on the screen at all, I was concerned about not mounting the TV on a wall, but I am finding the legs to be very sturdy. The sound is what it is for a flat panel TV but I’m pretty sure most of us are listening TV from a different source. The TV app works awesome with my iPhone as well. Thank you BestBuy for holding this item for a few days so I could pick it up in person, instead of worrying about having it delivered.

Nice TV with excellent picture
Easy set up out of the box. Remote is ok, just would have like it to keep tapping input to get to the input you want instead of tapping input and going down the remote to scroll the input you want. Love this TV's picture. I do have an issue that I let go, i have two very small areas on the right side that have light bleeding thru (only noticeable on Black backdrop). I hope this doesn't get worse.

It's okay but not impressed
Spent a little more on this tv because of the quantum color but I don't really see much difference then my Samsung flat screen that is 8 years old. The picture is great but I bought Vizio over Samsung because of the supposid amazing picture. Also not impressed on the sound quality, maybe I don't have the settings right but it is very very quiet. I have a soundbar hooked up to make up the lacking in sound. It is my first smart tv and it is very easy to operate. Overall it's a great tv but for the price I would of much rather gotten a Samsung.
