Didn't work for me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Chrome enabled tvs suck and are so limited. Not to be confused with a smart tv which are two totally different animals.

Bargin 50" HD TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Did not have option for antenna so could not use it in my family room that does not have a cable connection
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from VIZIOEntertainmentExpert
Posted .Thank you for your feedback. To connect an antenna to our SmartCast Home Theater Displays you can use an external tuner such as this one. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/airbox-digital-receiver-black/4347600.p?skuId=4347600

current TV issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buy and Vizio are trying to correct the technical issue of the TV
I would recommend this to a friend No cable connection for VISIO
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Disappointed that the TV didn't include an antenna connection.

Posted .Thank you for the feedback. This display does have several HDMI inputs that can be used to get an HD signal from a cable/satellite set top box. If you're using an over the air antenna that only has a coaxial connection, you can purchase any external tuner with an HDMI or component output (like the one linked below).

No remote
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unmentioned, is that it needs a reasonably modern smartphone in order to be used.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from VIZIOEntertainmentExpert
Posted .Thank you for your feedback. We do include a basic remote with this unit that can control features such as powering the unit on/off, adjusting volume, and input selection. Your cable or satellite remote should also still control all functions of your cable or satellite service such as changing the channel. The use of a smartphone is only required if casting apps such as Netflix, YouTube, Vudu and more.
Not good for general use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did not realize that the Vizios did not have a coax input. I tried numerous adapters without success and finally returned the "Monitor". The prices are great but not designed for regulat TV use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from VIZIOEntertainmentExpert
Posted .Thanks for the input. While this display does not have a tuner it does come equipped with 4 HDMI ports. We would recommend seeing if your connected devices such as cable & satellite set top boxes, gaming devices, Blu Ray players and so on can be connected via HDMI. If you need to connect something through coax such as an OTA (Over the air) antenna then you'd simply need an external tuner that can be connected via HDMI. I can recommend some from Best Buys website that you may find helpful: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/airbox-digital-receiver-black/4347600.p?skuId=4347600
bad customer service
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.broken screen right out the box and took to the store and was told they could not help .. blame us for dropping it
No, I would not recommend this to a friendTypical Visio
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Serves me right... Didn’t get a full calendar year out if it. Half the picture is gone and Visio told me that’s the breaks... they talked me through a couple steps over the phone and gave up. Not a happy camper.

Didn't work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought it to replace my 50" 1080p Roku tv and it wouldn't work no matter what. It was a new product, but maybe I just got a defective one. In the end I bought the 55" model and it worked phenomenally. I would avoid the 50" e-series model in favor of the 55".
No, I would not recommend this to a friendno like vizio
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.no like vizio, im like the samsung is the best the best
No, I would not recommend this to a friendCheaply made
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very cheaply made tv. Obvious right out of the box.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot a TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was on me. I needed a new TV but purchased a theatre system. My bad. The problem was trying to cancel the order. Couldn't. Had to physically return item. No help from Best Buy. Disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot a Chromecast fan
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Chromecast is not user friendly and is limited. This is not a smart TV. After a week of trying to get this to work with an iPad or iPhone, we returned it. It was not worth the time and energy invested. Purchased a Samsung instead and I am very happy.

Do not buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound was horrible. If any reflection possible don’t purchase this set. Took it back put my 10 year old Sanyo back and was thrilled!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDon't bother.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Regardless of the price, what other people tell you, or any other reviewer may say. Know that this television is complete garbage and is only worth taking up a slot in your surge protector, if it costs you $0.00. Stay away.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:ChromecastCons mentioned:Remote control
Great Buy
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this TV during black friday. Was an open box item and had the 50% off coupon. The TV overall is decent and picture quality isn't too bad either. Setup was easy but did take quite a bit of time. The remote is very basic so you have to use a bit of intuition to figure out some of the symbols. The chromecast feature actually comes in handy at times and is easy to use once you get it set up. Sound is okay...sometimes it depends on what I'm watching. I haven't had a chance to see the full benefit of the 4K, but since this is in my bedroom, it's not a big deal. This is definitely not my usual Samsung, but the price was too good to pass up. The only downside is the lack of a cable connection. I am a cord cutter and this would have been an issue but luckily I have a Tablo connected to my modem so I don't need to have my antenna plugged directly into the TV. For other cord cutters who don't have this set up, this TV is NOT for you.
I would recommend this to a friend picture and sound problem
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to return this unit as the picture and sound would cut out. Have had a 40" Vizio for over 10 years with no problem at all.
