For gamers=this tv has low latency in video settings and for what feels like a 2ms response/lag/ w/e you want to call it time. which is awesome
The bluetooth in the one i bought(used open box, might be different for other people) is really, really bad. Only way i can connect to it is if i am connected to same wifi point.
Now the video settings.. are just horrendous(again this could be different for other people). i have spent 6 hours trying to get it to where tvs are normally calibrated but i just gave up. i have looked and looked(rtings.avsforum.reviews from 3 sites) to try and find out what others used for settings video settings. TOOOO many color settings
a white screen will have a very light blue haze
dark red letters will appear choppy(not just mine, saw this on forums)
a window that is supposed to be 100% gray(makes sense in my mind so dont judge) , will be 90% gray and 10%blue(yup).
i am comparing this to an lcd computer monitor(and being ruthless)
This will most likely be returned if i cant get the colors where i want them in the next few weeks.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Picture quality is very dependent on multiple factors. This especially is true for color settings. Some of these factors include ambient light in the room and personal preference. VIZIO SmartCast HDTV's and Displays allow our customers to turn a Smart Phone or Tablet into a powerful remote that allows access to the settings so they can be adjusted. We are constantly evaluating our SmartCast app to add additional features and improve our customer experience.

VIZIO - 32" Class (31.5" Diag.) - LED - 1080p - Smart - HDTV - Black
Model: E32-D1. This is a great small HDTV. Setup is easy, the picture is excellent with a good refresh rate (120Hz). My only complaint is that if I want to use it for anything other than a desktop monitor, you need to download a remote control app to your phone to set up all of the features, change channels etc. Sending an actual remote that is programmed to the TV would make it 5 stars. If you don't mind using your smart phone as a TV remote, you'll like this product. I would recommend it to a friend only after informing them of the smart phone remote requirements.

I purchased this for a computer monitor with 1080p, 120hz refresh rate, and HDMI input. It works great like the last Vizio I had. But, when I checked out the TV and Streaming portion of this model (after getting it home), I somehow overlooked that this model requires a smartphone or tablet to operate the majority of these features. The enclosed remote is very limited. This model is designed for TECHIES who want to control everything with their phones or tablets. Overall, the images are clear and sharp for viewing. No Headphone Jack, but there are third-party options.

I gave this a four star so that my five star rating has more meaning. This tv is exactly what I expected and what I wanted, the chrome cast works with netflix and most other streaming services. YOU DON'T NEED HULU. The remote is cheap. But the refresh rate, picture , design and ease of pairings makes it well worth it.

In a darkened room without direct glare this TV works well. It is ideal for a bedroom or area where the lights are low and unfiltered sunlight is at a minimum...the picture is great.
CONS: The screen will pick up glare from a bulb or direct sunlight (they all do to some degree) and that will show prominently on the screen. My biggest issue is more with information I got in the store. I was aware the tv would cast (does that well) but when I asked an associate about the remote he said 'there is a full functioning remote' with the tv. There is a remote but it is basic as this unit is intended to use with a smart phone. The manufacturer should have spent the extra 3-5 dollars to include a full functioning remote. The cable/sat hookup is easy but it has poor antenna reception compared to two other TVs we tried with the same antenna system.

Offer a great clear picture, the built in Google cast is super easy to use. Only down side is that the remote does offer the full about of features. You will have to download the Vizio app to change things like brightness.

Great TV, chromecast not best

The picture quality is great and it comes with built in chromecast so you don't need any additional devices.
My only issues with this tv were that there's no front facing speakers, all the sound comes out the back of the tv.. so I purchased an additional vizio sound bar that works great. The second issue is that the built in chromecast is slightly watered down from the full Google chromecast, and it does not work with WatchESPN. It does however work with the regular ESPN app so I just watch from that.

This television has a great picture. I was shocked when I saw the remote that came with it. It has only the minimum controls on it. Anything else you want to do (streaming from Netflix, Hulu, etc,) has to be controlled from the app on your smartphone or tablet. I have a Samsung smartTV and I can do everything without having to switch remotes. Took me almost an hour to set up the TV with my wireless network.
Now that it is set up, I am happy with my purchase,

We purchased this TV because we are quite fond of our other Vizio set. We are not disappointed. I would give it a full five stars except for the remote. I know you can use the smart cast app on your phone but that does not turn your phone into a actual remote control. Our other Vizio has a great remote with three specific buttons at the top for one press access to AMAZON Prime, Netflix, and Hulu. The TV itself is perfect though.

Cannot beat the price for what you get with this TV! For the home where one watches very little TV, but wants a great picture and ease of use when watching a Blu-ray or streaming Netflix or Amazon via Roku, this one can't be beat! GoogleCast with a definite bonus too. Would have been 5-stars, but the legs are very wide requiring a larger stand to place the TV.

I bought this Tv so that my 76 year old mother doesn't have to walk downstairs to watch TV. The picture quality for 1080 HD channels was great. 480 HD channels were underwhelming. The remote could use numbers on it so that people who don't want to use cable boxes can go directly to a numbered station. It's serving its main purpose though.

Excellent Smart TV for a Child

Okay,
My son is six years old and wanted to get him a television for his room.
Good: Image Quality and smart features are top notch, especially for a TV of this size / price point.
Bad: Remote. In short, you're provided with a SMALL remote that lacks basic functions, and if you REALLY want to wicker with the TV menus, you need to download a Vizio app to your Android / Apple device.
Remember how I said this is for my son? Well he's six, and while he's capable of using an iPad, this COULD be a hassle for some of the less technologically advanced folks in the room.
To close this review - if you're looking for a TV for a child, reading room, small office - this is your TV.
If you're looking for something for primary use - I would recommend you find a larger screen, even if you're in a smaller apartment (but this is perfect for college dorm rooms).
Cheers!

Bought this for my college student. Great tv for the price! It was easy to setup and the picture was pretty clear but you'll need wifi to use this tv to its fullest capability. I didn't like the remote, it doesn't have all the features like menu etc.

I brought this TV for my son and he is enjoying every minute of it. The picture quality is very good. The TV work with phone and tablet and connection is very simple. This is a great TV but I wouldn't recommend this TV if you are fixed on the traditional way a TV work and don't like change. If you like watching movies on your phone or tablet then you will love this TV and the quality of the pictures. It also easily connect to cable so you have that option as well. The price of this TV compare to the quality of the TV is a steal. If you are tech savvy then this is your TV. It's also a good TV for the kids especially since every thing they do is either on the phone or with their tablet. The price is right and I still can't get over the picture quality compared to the price i paid.

Great TV with flimsy remote

The TV has a slim profile which is preferable and shows brilliant color! only complaint is the flimsy remote - it works but is so lightweight and made of very thin plastic which feels like it will crack with each use. Great TV though and I do recommend it.
