    I upgraded from a 34" 1080p to this television and I love it. I thought that the tv may have been too large for our living room but it is actually a great fit. The picture quality is great and I really like how easy it is to switch from the cable to Netflix and Amazon. I do need to warn you that the legs the tv stand on are very far apart and you will need a long tv stand or mount it to the wall. Instead of replacing our current tv stand we chose to mount it to the wall and it looks great and freed space for nicknacks and remotes.

    This TV has great picture quality. Going from a normal 1080p to 4K, I didn't expect the difference in picture quality to be so noticeable, but I can tell you, it is VERY noticeable. This is a great TV and is at a great price. If you're in the market as a first time 4K TV owner, this is a great option.

    I bought this because I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg. I wish it was a tv with 120hz but I don't have it like that yet. I still love this TV though. Excellent volume and picture.

    TV has excellent screen and viewing. Color fantastic easy to assemble legs to set ( we live in mobile home and have little room to mount on wall). Sturdy, best color and clarity we have had and excellent price at Best Buy. Volume not good. But had read all others are same. We got sound bar and that remedies situation. Love it.

    I was interested in a Vizio flat screen as a result of seeing the brand used in many commercial applications. These were on without error or failure of any kind continuously for years. Yes. I said years! Non stop! The picture quality rivals that of tvs costing much more. I have enjoyed this tv thoroughly.

    Words can't describe how beautiful this TV looks. But I did learn that I had to get the gold tip HDMI cords and I had to upgrade the cable. Absolutely beautiful. I went back to best buy and bought another 1 to replace the TV in my living room.

    i purchased this vizio on sale and am beyond happy with the purchase. the television is great; great picture, easy to set up and use...picks up wifi great even from twenty feet away and through walls...different picture settings make it easy to switch between dark and light room conditions. THE ONE AND ONLY THING I WISH WAS DIFFERENT....the remote DOES NOT HAVE a qwerty keyboard on the back as other vizios i have seen...no big deal the input is still a breeze. great apps, mobile pairing is awesome and hdmi inputs for everything you could possibly have and it has digital audio in too!

    This is the second large flat screen Vizio I've purchased in four years, and both had video issues. This was to replace the previous one. Within FOUR MONTHS it developed black lines, but neither Vizio nor Best Buy would stand behind their product or their shipping. I will never purchase another Vizio and I will never purchase from Best Buy again.

    Don't buy this TV. I don't have to explain why. Just see the attached pictures. The TV screen color is distortion. Its manufacture problem and I was asked to pay $300 to repair this defect which I didn't cause it!

    Fantastic UHD TV. Vizio is setting the bar high!

    I spent weeks researching UHD options and ultimately decided to go with the 50" Vizio UHD TV. Comparing the picture quality side by side, Vizio was better than its UHD competition. Obviously it cannot compete with S-UHD or OLED however the price point on those TVs is in the $1500+ range. I picked it up for less than $600 during the black friday sale and the TV has met all of our expectations. 5HDMI ports makes connecting all your devices a breeze!

    I would recommend this tv. I like the 4K quality picture and the apps are easy to use. The only downside are the short legs it stands on. We have a sound bar, but the TV it not high enough to stand over the sound bar. We do not want to hang the TV on the wall. So my sound bar is off center but it works.

    Went in for a different HDTV on Black Friday and walked out with the Vizio 50" 4k for under $600 - so far the TV has a nice picture and tons of HDMI ports (5) - still trying to get everything set up right as far as picture - but the quality is top notch. I would say buy a sound bar for the TV if you want theater quality sound, otherwise for the money it was a sound purchase.

    Television was easy to set-up and connect to my service provider. This set performs well and looks nice on the cabinet. As this was a replacement purchase, I like that the set reverts to sleep mode if you put something on pause so it saves the screen. The previous set went black and would have been too expensive to repair. I like that the remote comes programmed with the Netflix and Amazon buttons so no scrolling and searching are involved. The only thing I would change about the remote is that's it's a bit too small, the buttons can be confusing and it should be back-lit. I've found no other issues with the set so far. I have not used all the apps that are loaded so I have nothing to review on that.

    I love this TV, it has a bunch of HDMI inputs and the picture is stunning. All other 4k tv’s were considerably more expensive. I was expecting for this tv to feel cheap but it really surpassed my expectations.

    I love the picture quality when streaming 4K series on Netflix, this TV has 5 HDMI Ports which is a huge blessing. I love how organized the SmartTv Hub is for all my apps!! This was a steal on Black Friday!! I only paid $650 & got a 2-Year warranty included in that price total. I love my Vizio 4K TV!!
