Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my 2nd Vizio TV. The first one was a 42" 720p. The picture at the time was excellent. The reliability was great as well. I just purchased the 50" 4K Vizio for our Master Bedroom to replace a 50" 720p LG which will go to my office where a great picture isn't necessary. The 4K picture is amazing! Even with non 4k shows & movies. I highly recommend Vizio for both its quality and value!

This was my first 4k and also Smart TV. Up until this purchase, I've had a bevy of devices connected to my dumb TV. I'm a tech guy by trade and I'm all about that, and the features this TV offered. The refresh rate is.. relaxing and comfortable on my eyes. It's a weird, hard to describe difference, but I attribute the lack of strain while watching TV to the refresh & resolution of this TV. Oddly, it's starting to change my dreams, but it feels good! I like the built in android device (chromecast, etc), and that the TV has both ethernet & wifi. I was able to plug in an old xbox with component cables (thus freeing up an HDMI port), as well as hook up (SPDF) my already existing surround sound system without effort. The power usage is great, though I do have it in full-off mode instead of standby (standby allows you to turn it on by casting a video to it). The TV also doesn't make much heat. The price, size & features were what sold me on this product. That, and I desperately needed to upgrade from my 1000BTU, 20 year old plasma TV. However, I have gripes: 1. Smart TV's gather a LOT of your data, and do weird things with it. Seriously, they figure out what devices are coming from your home internet and link them together for advertising and selling to others, and that's like, basic level scary. it doesn't even get into them working with other advertisers to build profiles about you, recording you through a microphone, or basic TV monitoring stuff. Read the TOS of your smart TV during setup - don't just hit NEXT, OK, NEXT, OK -- in fact, you can decline some of the services they're offering. Please look at these menus critically and know that you don't have to have them track you to be able to cast to your phone. 2. Some of the invasive monitoring services you can't decline - and have to be turned off in the settings. The kicker, it's not where you'd expect the option to be, it's hidden, nested in a "reset to factory" menu. This kind of behavior, to me, signifies a companies attitude toward their consumers. 3. The sound from the built-in speakers is bad. I think it's 2x5w speakers. You'll likely want an alternative sound source, especially since you're getting a Ultra-HD TV. The company makes a sound bar which compliments & interacts with the TV, but take that in consideration with the above. Also, the TV worked without any issue at all with a SPDF connection, which many non-portable devices seem to have. 4. Only one of the HDMI ports displays on this model is True 4K @120hz, as well as the casting feature. The HDMI ports are 4k but 60hz (computer shows 59.90) 5. My PC says that it can stream 8K to it, but apparently I don't have a device which can provide useful 8K to the TV to confirm whether it's down sampling. The computer's desktop is tinier, if that's helpful. 6. Not all of the adjustments options are clearly labeled - I've noticed (my friends haven't...) that the TV seems to shift in brightness as the content of what it's displaying changes. I've gone through the settings and can't seem to find this option. 7. They push the smart phone app, which I haven't tried. But I have a feeling it's the key to more features. I also think they're using it as incentive to join their creepy surveillance / people-sales program (smart TV terms of service). I'm happy enough being able to use the 'google cast' feature, which is seemingly, literally, everywhere nowadays.

This is a great big TV at a great price. A great picture and the best is through my cable provider and this TV I am able to use my phone or iPad and watch Live TV, Sporting events, and movies with Vizio Cast that sends a message from my iPad or phone to the TV and watch almost anything. I love this TV.

love the game play. Little difficult but very interesting!!!

I love this TV. It was a floor model so the price was RIGHT! I love that it casts with my phone and all of my media apps- Netflix Hulu prime. It’s 4K screen is amazing!

A good TV , It is not used everyday, but it has done a wonderful job.

Very nice tv u i love the sizereally amazing to watch

Very easy to set up and maneuver through the settings.

Is not bad for the price. 4k product for this price is wow. But... be careful with the smartcast if you are not good with technology, is a little complicated and not like a real tv, here you will not find anything in your remote control everything is on the phone app which sometimes is not convenient. Usb port is there for for updates you can not use it to play media :-/ and 4k quality is not impressive. Is just a good product for the price you pay.

Love the fact that I can cast a movie or app straight to the tv from my phone or tablet!

This 50-inch Visio (E50-E3) is a great TV for seniors on a limited budget. It’s hard to beat its $399 price. I found it easy to connect this TV to my DISH satellite TV system; a cable/ WiFi system works just as well. The picture quality and color is excellent. CAUTION: You will need to buy a tuner and antenna for free over-the-air reception. An auto-SETUP narrative appears on the screen when you power up this TV for the first time. Seniors can skip the complex WiFi setup by pressing the “arrow-Enter” button on the TV’s remote (center of circle). NOTE: This system is designed primarily for the “NOW generation” who will connect this TV to their smart phone or tablet. If you skip the complex WiFi setup process, you wind up with a “Model-T” remote controller; that is, a remote that lacks a numeric keypad to select channels. Instead, there is a “+ or –“ button to change channels. But this is OK for me, because I use the numeric keypad on my DISH remote to select desired channels. Aside from the missing keypad, the TV’s remote controller works very well. It has buttons to easily adjust color, sound, aspect ratio, input, as well as a mute, power, and channel UP/DOWN button. My only disappointment is an annoying amount of “pixel flutter” when I watch football games. This only occurs when the camera switches to distant aerial and fans-in-the-stands views. Since I don’t see this occurring in store displays, I suspect the cause is a data-delay in my DISH satellite feed. No pixel-flutter occurs for close-up shots of field activities, players, refs, etc. BOTTOM LINE: “You get what you pay for”. If you want a large-screen full-feature TV with a better remote controller, buy a more expensive brand/model. As a basic no-frills TV, this one is great for normal TV shows and news, as well as DVD or streaming movies.

I got home and opened up the box, took the TV out and set it up. When I first turned the TV on the picture and content on the screen was barely readable. It's obvious this TV was damaged prior to me purchasing it and I am extremely frustrated with the fact that Vizio and/or Best Buy wouldn't have a way of preventing this from happening. I don't know what caused the damage to the TV or when it occurred, but Best Buy should have preventative measures in place to avoid situations like this. I am now tasked with having to return everything to the store. I may decide to purchase a TV elsewhere after I return this TV to Best Buy, as I'm now concerned with them mishandling products in the store.

We bought this TV in 2018. We got it via open box on a slight discount. It arrived quickly and was easy to set up. It's now 2024 and we are just looking to replace it for upgrade purposes. We kept the unit clean and upgraded the software as needed. We never had any major issues with the unit whether it was on Wi-Fi or direct with ethernet. The TV has lasted quite a long time and will now be used as the gaming TV for our kids instead of the primary TV in the living room. Very happy with the purchase and how long it has lasted compared to other people I know that are buying a new TV every year and a half because they break down.

Tv blew out within a year. Stick with name brands. No love from Best Buy switching to Amazon.

I’m so pleased with this TV. The sound is incredible. The color is so vibrant and the clarity is so clear. The price is was so reasonable. The quality is just outstanding. You will not be disappointed. The size fit perfectly in my living room. I love it.

I originally went to purchase the 44 inch version of this tv, but for 70 bucks more I was able to get the 50 inch right before Christmas. 4k and Built in Chromecast is amazing if you have a use for it. I bought this for my brother who could use the 4k with his Xbox one S and is also a netflix addict so, it was cool he doesn't have to use his xbox to watch netflix anymore. straight from the tv and with all the services offered definitely hard to beat deal!!! people complain about the remote, but we are in 2017 you can control almost everything from your phone!!!

Tv has a beautiful picture and has Chromecast and Netflix on the tv along with other apps for your convenience. I would highly recommend this tv and compared to the Sony 4k and the Samsung 4k for a lot more money this is a good price.

Beautiful picture quality for movies and games. I assume that it is great for tv as well if that is your thing. The downside of owning this "smart" tv is that it isn't smart at all except when paired with a wireless device like an iPhone or iPad. It requires downloading the Visio Smartcast app. Every other time I use it the phone won't communicate with the tv. First time I called tech assistance and eventually after uninstalling apps, resetting phone, refreshing tv, resetting tv to factory original, re-pairing, re- instilling app and the long process of set up, it works. I have had to do this process twice since that time. Each time it takes several attempts of the complete process to make a connection, taking up to an hour. Not worth using the Smartcast feature. If you want to watch dvd's, bluray, and hook up you game console, it is great. You will need external sound. The remote is minimally functional. Since picture quality is most important to me, I rated this tv 4 stars. I would give the sound 2 stars only for tha fact that you can hear it, the remote 2 stars and the "smart" part a -5 stars ( that is negative 5). So if you want to stream YouTube, Hulu, Netflix, etc, good luck. You might be better off with a "real" smart tv.

I got this TV as an open box (though nothing was missing) and it was an outstanding deal. The picture is great. The only 2 drawbacks (which really aren't drawbacks for me personally) are #1) it does not come with its own tuner or traditional cable/coax input. I don't have cable anyway, I use a roku or blueray, or you can just use the built-in casting feature to send anything from your phone over to the TV. #2) the remote is very basic. The idea is, you download the app and then your phone is the "real" remote. Downloading the app took a while, it didn't seem to recognize my router at first. But it does have a phone-jack-style data port, so I connected that directly to my router and it seemed to do the trick. It might have simply needed to download an update to its software--as I said, the TV was an open box floor model. Once I did that, we were able to do the pairing process to the phone and unhook the cable. Overall, an outstanding TV.

I am so happy to stumble upon this Unit, I was hunting for their Toshiba 49 inch promo at $199 only but sadly it is only available to some states with minimum stocks of 5 I think. I bought this Unit and at first, it cost $399 and there was another tag price beside it says $349 I asked the BestBuy guy to verify the unit and was surprised that the unit cost $349 (Black Friday). I did not hesitate to buy this unit plus the fact that the features I need were all there. 1. Chromecast Builtin 2. Effective Refresh rate of 120 (this is important for me especially you have 4k resolution. 3. Backed up by Vizio App. (Controls, Settings and Streaming via Chromecast) I don't need a smart TV since I have Apple TV though I won't be able to maximize since my Apple TV supports 1080P only, well I don't care since most of the content were 1080P only if there is 4K content but very few for now. The picture is good and blacks were acceptable since they have the dynamic backlighting. You can still calibrate picture quality using the Vizio App. Bought Vizio 2.1 Soundbar at target with great price as well at $129 since the sound of the TV unit does not sooth my taste. Now I am enjoying my new TV in my Room and no need to worry on the brightness since this includes auto backlighting depending on the room light I have. So for the price and feature, I don't need to confuse or create a dilemma getting this unit since I have all the features needed and don't need the smart TV function if you have the chrome cast built in
