    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Excessive edge light bleed - poor quality control

    First of all, these TVs are impossible to come by. they are in and out of stock, and seldom available to order on BB. Now I understand why. This is the 2nd M437-G0, I’ve purchased, and will now be returning. My first set had the speakers blow out within 10 days of intermittent, low-volume usage. Now, this set has excessive light bleed, that is far from acceptable. (See images) Upon turning on this set, I saw the light bleed from the left side and from the top left portions of the screen. Other areas we’re also visible, but not the the extent of these. When viewing full screen, full color, the picture looks great. However, when viewing a movie in widescreen, it’s ridiculous and distracting. In addition, this set took about 30 minutes to work as intended, whereas my first set took 5 minutes. It went through nearly 10 reboots during the initial update before it started up. I actually thought it was bricked. Not sure if there’s also a networking issue with this one, but it was barely registering a signal from my router which was directly underneath. This was for my master bedroom and I wanted something with excellent black levels and Airplay support. After reading on the Rtings website, this was their choice for the best 43” on the market, I was really excited to replace my 12 y/o Toshiba lcd. And the rest of the 43’s aren’t great, including the Q60 and the X800, as they don’t have the black levels I want, in order to justify a replacement. So, I’ll just wait.

    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.

    For the price, and the size, this TV is probably unbeatable for the generation. It's really crazy how affordable TVs have gotten, and VIzio provides a lot of bang for the buck. One drawback to the 43" is that it's essentially a different model altogether, with far fewer local dimming zones than all the models larger than it. I imagine this impacts the actual ability to showcase HDR content, but what it shows looks good. Blacks look really good, though. The smartcast platform is pretty decent, but is a little weird with some Google services not reaching their expected potential. Apparently each side blames the other. I have abundant means of getting those services anyway, but it's still a little strange. Most other services work totally fine, and reach their full potential.

    My first purchase of this TV had a horrible shipping dent, so got another, and so far I'm pretty happy with this TV. Contrast is good, I can't really tell when the dimming zones are doing their thing, HDR is fairly punchy and the colors are as accurate as any other high end unit. I do realize that some people have had bad luck with their panels on this TV, so I guess there may be some panel lottery involved. But my experience has been good so far. The sound could be better, but it's definitely better than my last mid size TV.

    This is an upgrade for my bedroom TV from a Vizio D-Series. The difference in color is noticeable and the remote has buttons for all of my favorite streaming apps such as Prime Video, Netflix and Hulu. I also like Vizio TV's because they have built-in Chromecast.

    I have had this TV for several weeks now and enjoy the great color and HDR pictures. We are limited in the size of screen we can have in our but the color and clarity is so much better than the TV we replaced. The sound could be better have to ump it up to over 50 to be able to hear it clear enough to understand the dialog.

    Excellent Picture Quality; but poor features

    Excellent picture quality for full HD and 4k (upscalling from 720p and lower resolutions isn't great through). Once you get the hang of manipulating the picture controls (you'll probably need separate picture settings for HDR10 vs Dolby Vision vs regular HD content), the overall picture quality is excellent. Just be prepared to struggle with the settings a little in the beginning. However, the Smartcast software is extremely poor. It's straightforward but clunky and slow to navigate. In addition, two of the main selling features, Apple Airplay and built-in Chromecast, are extremely poor as well. Apple Airplay works only every once in a long while, and Chromecast is patchy, but not quite as poor. The majority of the issues with these things is that my devices don't recognize the TV as an option when I attempt to cast videos. I "solved" this problem by actually buying a real Chromecast Ultra dongle, and it works flawlessly. I "solved" the issue of having to use Smartcast by actually buying a Roku box. Regarding network performance, which you need for properly streaming 4k and HDR in the Smartcast apps, both wifi and ethernet give terrible speeds compared to the speeds I get from my ISP and can produce on my other devices. I get 100 Mbs from my ISP, and all my other devices have no issue in actually getting that amount of data when I conduct internet speed tests. The data speed test on my TV, for both wifi and ethernet, will only yield around 1.9 - 2.4 Mbs. This won't matter to you if you use only other streaming devices that connect to the TV via HDMI, which is what I do. Even though I'm happily enjoying my TV now (gaming on Xbox One X in 4k HDR is sweet, btw), I had to spend the extra money on a Roku and real Chromecast, which I shouldn't have had to do. Vizio attempted to integrate a smart TV interface and Casting ability, which were two main selling points for this TV, so I feel a little ripped off, since those two features function extremely poorly. Ultimately, if you just care about the picture quality, and you already have other devices for streaming/casting, this TV will serve you well. If you're looking for the TV that has it all, stay away from Vizio until they learn to write competent built-in software features.

    Almost took this tv back! Would not upscale past 1080p. Same problem with another tv I returned to Best Buy. Problem was........ MY CABLE BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COMCAST GAVE ME THE RIGHT BOX FOR MY LIVING ROOM TV. PROBLEM WAS THE BOX IN MY COMPUTOR ROOM HAD AN OLD 1090P BOX, WHICH WAS NO GOOD FOR UP SCALING! Nobody ever mentioned this problem in the past.. Vizio support told me the problem was with the box and getting a new box made the difference soooooooooo good had to savor the quality of the picture. Better then my 75" Samsung in the living room.

    the picture quality is fantastic but playing The Show on my ps3 the sound reminds me of when my dad used to listen to Cubs games on a transistor radio back in the late 60's. this is as good as the sound gets? this tv replaced a 10 yr old 720p LG that had great sound quality. Sorry Vizio, you struck out on the sound. I have literally tried every setting on ps3 and the tv. My ps4 will be here next week, I hope I'm not shopping for a better sounding tv

      Hello Tuffitt, 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. If you’d like any help adjusting your audio settings feel free to contact VIZIO support at 855-833-3221.

      For top of the line audio performance you may also look into purchasing a VIZIO Sound Bar, there are several models available with wireless subwoofers for enhanced bass, rear speakers for true surround sound, and our new line of Atmos Sound Bars. VIZIO

    Bought for gaming, but I find this Vizio performs for movies too. A little bit of screen uniformity issues at times, but that's most lcd panels. Ultimately, this TV performs very well for gaming with its low latency game mode. It is also very good for movies. I've watched several dark movies (The Dark Night, Watchmen, 300, etc) with the full array backlight set to low and I've been impressed. Colors pop and blacks are ink dark. Imo price to performance is stellar with this M series Vizio.
