    Dont get me wrong this is a decent tv but not as good as the 2018 Vizio E. HDR just not there and shades of color lost in the dark scenes just little muddy looking and over all not very bright.

    Only had the TV a little over a year and it cuts off and freezes. I just had to reset to factory settings to get my TV out of zoom mode. Hopefully there is a warranty on this.

    The picture on this tv was washed out and calibrating did not help. Set 32 inch non 4k vizio next to tv and viewed program. 32 inch tv was far superior. This tv would not pick up prime video settings mode or search bar but would pick up streaming tv / movies. Returned and bought similar 50 in tcl which after several weeks has no issues.

    It's an acceptable cheap price since it's a big screen but I get a lot of yellow spots around the screen or yellow faces and of course it needs a sound bar since has poor quality sound

    I do not like this TV. It is a smart TV however you can not download anything on it so I am not able to put sling TV on it you can use your phone to cast but I don't want to have to use my phone to watch my TV. Then there are movie suggestions that appear on the home screen when I clicked on it it took me to a site to pay to watch it. I had to buy online and pick up curbside if I would have been able to go in and look at the TV I would not have purchased it. I am hoping to exchange it for a different one.

      Hi Sweets, 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

    Picture texture looks good but unfortunately the quality of the whole picture is very wash out (fade colors). Also, the communication with the sound bar was complicated.

      Hello Carlos, Thank you for the feedback. A few things that might help you get the kind of picture quality you are looking for. First, make sure the Display is getting a hi-definition or 4K signal. This means making sure that your source device (like a cable/satellite box) is capable of HD or 4K, and that it's connected to your Display with an HDMI cable that can deliver the HD or 4K picture. You can also change between pre-set picture modes on the display by pressing the PIC button on your remote. This will toggle between a few picture settings that look good in different situations. If your display is in a bright room, try Vivid or Calibrated. If it’s in a dimmer room, try Calibrated Dark. Please contact our customer support at 877-878-4946 for assistance with setting up your sound bar. VIZIO
