    The TV is not smart. You cannot use any of the options you normally use on a smart TV such as access Netflix, etc. Extremely disappointing in this purchase!

    You need remote to hookup to network, And it's a must to use... Casting needs a reboot almost half the time. The UI is slow and clunky. Picture is ok.

      Hello Mousie, As televisions continue to have larger screens with thinner profiles and sleeker bezels, there is less room for large speakers. To help get the best audio quality out of your VIZIO televisions speakers, we’ve included settings like DTS Studio Sound to provide the highest performance possible, while maintaining the thin, sleek, bezel-less profile of your television.
