    Was looking to upgrade my TV as I had a 40 inch 1080P and noticed that the new 4K's have come down in price. I visited the local Best Buy store looking to buy a low cost 4K. The sales person was very knowledgeable and guided me to spend a little more. I am so glad he did. This is the best and most vivid picture I have seen. This TV was so easy to set up and use. I was up and running within 30 minutes. I was not familur with the smart process as I have 4 HDMI hooked up. The TV knows what you want to watch without me needing to know the HDMI setting. Love this TV and highly recommend this to anyone looking for the best picture quality available.

    After a couple days of use I gotta say I'm really impressed. The picture quality on this TV is great, the colors really pop and the 4k looks really great. I used to have an lg uk6090 model TV and I gotta say that this TV totally blows that one out of water in terms of picture quality. If I do have to give the TV a con is that sometimes screen quality can get grayish at some points but that can be something that can be fixed by going into the settings and changing some things. Another one is the full array dimming, It can make a still image like looking at a menu weird, but luckily you can turn that feature off. Sound is meh for me, but I dont really care much for it since I have a soundbar with a subwoofer. Finally the controller, at first it really sucked, it was like the TV wouldn't grasp its signal out of the box more then half the time of use, but through time, maybe like an hour or two, it fixed itself. I would definitely recommend this TV to anyone who is looking to buy one. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

    This TV looks great with 1080/4k content. Older content that is not HD can look quite poor, a testament to the upscaling ability in Vizio’s. After tweaking settings you can get great color and contrast. Black levels are good but the cheaper models lack advanced light control with the “full array”, this is noticeably an issue at times. Setup was easy and settings are vast. SmartCast system is ok but would highly recommend using a dedicated streaming player.

    Purchased this after years with a 27” CRT TV. This is our first smart TV and seems huge and has a gorgeous picture. Wasn’t a problem setting up and seems easy to operate. The sound was much better than expected. We didn’t want to spend a huge amount of money and this TV seems like a very good value.

    I usually buy Sony or Samsung Tv's but i took a chance on this Vizio due to strong reviews for its picture quality .The color , black level and shapness are outstanding. This tv has the best picture of any tv I've ever owned. It is worth every penny! My only nitpick is the remote is slow and buggy. Other than that I love this TV!

    Color is good, Watched UHD or 8K in Youtube and the color is very refreshing. Was surprised with the sound. Sound is good enough for use in a 20x20 bedroom just don't compare it to a home theatre or a sound bar. The remote is lacking in controls like the rewind and fast forward is rather slow.

    I've had this TV for nearly a month now, and I really like it. The picture is crisp, the colors are vivid. The set up was pretty easy, though wall mounting requires two people. The only negative, and reason why I'm not giving it 5 stars is the active array backlighting thing. I noticed it when viewing still photos. Instead of a nice, pure black sky fom a night photo of the moon I was seeing these areas of strange light/hazing. I finally found the active array or whatever, and turned it off, and it looked much better. I can't see why you'd ever want that effect??

    These two TVs compete with my OLED as far as view quality goes. Brilliant colors, amazing price, and super simple setup. Smartcast interface far more intuitive than my webOS OLED. Speakers quality doesn't match picture quality so plan on at least a sound bar.

    I have always bought Samsung TV's and after 10 years mine finally needed to be replaced. I did my research like I'm sure most of us here did and I landed on a brand that I heard of but never really gave a chance. This TV is priced right and if lucky you can find it on sale. The TV itself was easy to setup and after all the updates are finished the TV is ready to go. The smart cast is easy navigate and at times it's response time is a bit slow but it doesn't sour the experience. The pictures this TV produces is fantastic. The colors jump out of the screen and fill up the whole room. It does struggle with dark scenes but you just need to mess with the settings to find the sweet spot. Once you figure it out then the TV handles the dark scenes very well. The speakers are nice and loud and had no trouble with any movie I watched. I don't have any real negative thing to say about the TV. For the money I wanted to spend and for the performance that I was looking for this M-Series Quantum has done a great job. I will update my review in 10 years. Hopefully it lasted me that long.

    I upgraded my TV that was 10 years old with this, so of course anything would be better than what I was looking at, but I was blown away by picture for the price point. I'm not a TV tech wizard, so I have no technical comments. For low-budget folks, this is a good deal. I only have a few minor issues - 1. I've connected it to WiFi to update the firmware, but there doesn't appear to be an option to forget the network once it's connected. Call me paranoid, but I don't want it being used as part of a botnet. 2. Sometimes when I turn it on, if the input is set to my Roku input, the image will display as static until I unplug the Roku and plug it back in. Not sure if it's the TV or the Roku. I don't have another TV to try the Roku on. Would buy again.

    So I had a 43 inch Hisense 4K TV that was doing a nice job for all my needs (mainly gaming) it played sports nicely as well. *Nicely. Just nicely. I've been wanting something that would actually look WOW without dropping over 1k for a new TV since I really didn't need a new one. I decided to take the chance with it having very few reviews and I'm glad I did! I think for what you pay, you get an AWESOME TV! I like the menus, the input settings, picture settings! My games look so much better because of the HDR and so do my movies. It's doing exactly what I bought it for! The blacks also really good, nice and black instead of grayish/black. The only things I dislike are the speakers (not loud), can't mirror phone (only if the app your using has the "mirror" button) and how the ports are all located to the far left! If you're looking for an awesome TV without paying thousands, this one is for you! I've only used it for gaming and a little bit of Netflix and everything looks really good. *Make sure to turn on "Full HDR" in the input settings for better picture!

    So far for about a month this tv gave me no problems and the display of this tv is ridiculously clear and vividly beautiful. It's also very user friendly with build in apps. However what gets my attention for this tv is that whenever I want to music before i go to sleep, it has a setting where you can put "blank" mode where the music plays in the background while the tv screen is off and later on will automatically shutdown itself if not used for a while.

    Crisp picture. Probably the best built in speakers I’ve ever had in a TV. Easy set up. Smart TV capabilities are pretty sweet too. Love that I can just screen share from my phone with a click of a button. Highly recommend this tv

    Upgraded from a 2011 Vizio 32 inch SmartTV and it has blown my mind. Picture quality is A1; therefore, no more squinting, sitting close nor leaving a light on for viewing pleasure. Additionally, the price set well and how my bank account is currently set-up. Only negative is that the TV remote does not have backlight; however, the old remote does and it still operates on the newer model

    This 4K tv is great I upgraded from a lg that I had for the past 3 years and the difference in color is huge so much more vibrant very happy with this tv I just wish I did a little more research and gotten the 55 inch model since it has 600 nits of brightness vs the 400 this model has and also 90 local dimming zones vs the 16 this one has but this tv still has a great picture with great colors.

    My main tv is an Lg Oled and that thing is phenomenal. This tv is alright. I wasn’t aware that there are two levels of M-series. For having weird deceitful names, Vizio deserves a 3 star but it’s par for the course. This is the inferior of the two M-series. But the price is great for what you get so I settle on keeping it. I don’t like that it goes on Vizio Cast from time to time, that’s a problem if you’re just trying to use your cable box full time on it. Likewise, frustrating that there aren’t any TVs out that cater to seniors/kids/or anyone who likes keeping it simple.

    Had planned on buying the 43" version of this tv but once I got in the store I went with the 50" Coming from a 12yr 32" LCD Vizio this is a major upgrade.Picture quality is sharp and crisp. I'm not a tv guru so I don't know all the ends and outs of what makes a great tv. I've played PS4 games and had no problem. Watch sports and the detail is awesome. No real complaints other than I wish the remote was backlit but I guess using the vizio app is an option. Maybe I'm not finding it but I wish there was a way to remove some of the built in streaming apps that I don't use or will ever use

    I purchased this tv only going off of the reviews due to Covid. I was not disappointed at all! The color is amazing and easy to hook up and use. I did read reviews about the sound being less than desirable so I automatically bought a Vizio sound bar (I wanted them to match) and so far so good! Now I can’t tell you how the original tv sound is unfortunately. But I was not disappointed in this purchase at all. I’m in love with it!! All my apps are all there already and you can download more if you wanted. The remote is easy to figure out. ...I think I covered everything I was concerned about prior to purchase. Plus it has a bunch of hook up stuff for the extra stuff you may have.
