Hi Trish, to get this TV to stream applications (instead of casting) just hit the V key (or home key) in the center of the remote. You'll see a list of Applications, and suggested content that you can watch by highlighting the app and clicking the OK button. If your're note getting the app screen when you hit the V key, please reach out to our team by visiting support.VIZIO.com and choosing 'Contact Us'. We have agents available through chat, sms, and over the telephone.

Difficult to set up. Poor information and Owner’s Manual make this an entirely frustrating and difficult process.

You have to be watching directly in front to get the most out of this tv. The picture quality degrades if you sit a little bit to the side. Can not recommend this tv.

My original purchase was a 32 inch Samsung. The Vizio was cheaper in the 40 " so I exchanged the Samsung. Not happy with the Vizio but I don't have the patience or the energy to return "CURBSIDE". So I kept it. Not easily programmable nor is the picture as clear and crisp as my Samsung. It is for my extra room and grandchildren so maybe they won't notice as much!

Fit the bill for the price, but after 8 weeks it started shutting off on its own. Using the remote power worked until 10 weeks then the only way to get it back on was to unplug power and plug it back in. Fantastic customer service. I ended up getting a completely different brand (Toshiba).

Size was fine for space. Xbox 1s seemed to think that it was only 50hz for some reason and would not sync to 4k. Had to setup on 1080p. If i wanted a 1080p tv i would've bought one so im highly disappointed in that. This tv was supposed to be my son's first 4k tv mainly for gaming purposes. Oh well, i guess my next purchase will be LG Samsung or Sony.

Hello Novacane1979, this television should absolutely be capable of producing a 4K image when connected to your Xbox One S. We’d really love the opportunity to have our tech support team run through some troubleshooting steps to see if we can get the TV up and running for you. When you have a free moment, they’re available through text message, chat, or over the phone. Just go to support.VIZIO.com and click on ‘Contact Us’.

Crappy TV

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This TV is the absolute worst. I purchased it a little over a year ago and I started having problems a few months in. To start off, the remote is of awful quality. I have to press down hard on the buttons and half the time, either the TV will take too long to respond or it will glitch out and repeat the same commands. Second, the cast feature doesn't work a lot of the time. It disconnects and it doesn't allow me to lower the volume without disconnecting whatever I'm casting. Third, it randomly glitches back to home whenever I'm on Netflix or any other app. Fourth, the quality of the image is terrible; sometimes it will pixelate whatever I have playing. Fifth, the TV will randomly disconnect from the WiFi and take a long time to reconnect. Often times, I have to unplug the TV just for it to connect. This was a waste of money and effort.
