Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this 50" TV to replace an older 46" LCD 1080 LG TV. This Vizio was easy to set up. The TV has a great picture IF... you are viewing it 'straight on' from the front!! Once you get much more than a 30 degree viewing angle to one side or the other, the colors begin to wash out. This TV would never be okay in my living room for instance where some of the seating is off to the sides. Also I was surprised to see that the HDR is defaulted to 'OFF' on the HDMI ports.

1. Remote is designed poorly, making a pretty good TV hardly to use: a.) The the buttons of the remote is not well marked. The characters are not striking and difficult to read. b) .The form format of the Remote is not well designed. It is too often to mistakenly trigger a unintentional function. 2. TV should start from a default channel / station whenever it is turned on. Local TV station or the channels it was watched last time before power off. Right now it only starts from Smartcast. 3. No matter how many programs a internet TV may provide, The primary Input should be local TV broadcast. TV's Input selection should explicitly include TV, just like what Smartcast Mobile app. has provided.

It is a good TV but the remote control is week. The speakers are not that great. Must add a sound system.

I left a previous negative review and don't see it here now? I will never buy a Vizio again. Over hyped. Hadn't had it a week and got the black screen of death. The fact there is a page on Google with that heading should tell you something. Two weeks later, it's zaps out with red bars on the screen. Only reason I don't return is too much hassle. I have to reboot the darn thing everyday day as the lip sync is off everyday! My RCA I have had for 6 years has never given me any problems. Great low price for a reason. Choose another brand.

PROS -Setup is easy -Viewing angles are good -Display is bright -Lots of Content to download CONS -Quality is just ok. HIgher-end 1080p sets rival this. -HDR is non-existent -The sound quality is not good/bass does not exist. -More like a 20hz display. (Remember that a claim of 60, 120, and 240 Hz means it has the possibility to reach that, not run at that capacity natively some, most or all of the time. -My 4k Roku Premier cannot stream HDR content it defaults to 1080p when trying to stream at that rate.

Was super excited when I bought this TV for my room, and for the first week it was great even though I only actually used it about twice during that time. Then all of the sudden no apps would load, except for Netflix. The screen went black and I had no menu or anything to select what app I wanted to go to. Even clicking the app buttons on ththe remote wouldnt take me to any of the apps, again, except for Netflix. I googled the problem and there was a whole forum of people who have had this issue, just none of them had to deal with happening so quickly. I wonder if I was sent a refurbished TV because I dont think I've even seen a TV become so useless so quick. I am.glad it happened so quickly though because at least I could still return it for my money back. I even followed Vizios advice on their help page for this specific problem, which included factory reset, and still got nothing. I had essentially paid $300 for a Netflix machine. Even BestBuy tech support was of no help and basically said I was just better off returning it. Never buying Vizio brand again.

Liked it the visuals are good. Only little issue is volume the sound is not much.

The Title of this Television says with HDR; But the details section mentions as HDR - NO

For the price it’s a pretty fantastic tv I was surprised with how thin it is

Worst TV I have ever owned. When it works, it's great and I would give it 5 stars, but it constantly freezes and won't respond to the remote or the buttons on the side of the TV. I try power-cycling the TV and the remote and neither helps, so I end up having to factory reset it, which is really annoying since I have to reconnect it to wifi and re-login to all of my apps every time. Now the reset won't even work at all. I've had this TV less than a year it's already unusable. I will not be buying Vizio ever again.

Top part of the tv went dark. It seems like a very bad quality tv. Reading several forums and it is all over the place. Unacceptable that Best Buy keeps selling this low quality of tv.

Piece of junk. Issues since day 1. We’ve had it for 2.5 years and it won’t even turn on anymore. I’ll never purchase another Vizio product.

I recently bought a 40 inch vizio tv. i have had nothing but problems. it turns itself off in the middle of programs, When its turned off its difficult to get it back on, it flickers very badly. it sometimes gives a black screen. i have contacted vizio and they are replacing it. I Will never buy another vizio. Too many problems. Although Vizio support really tries to help. its just not worth the head ache. Vizio needs to put out a better quality product. Buyer beware, better to put out more money and get a better quality product than have to deal with the problems. i have learned, you pay for what you get.

Was very excited that my wife bought me the Vizio V505-g9... BUT, not to excited about the picture quality. Is this TV really a 4k? My understanding HDMI #1 & #2 are 4k inputs, HDMI #3 maybe not. I did all I can do to adjust my picture screen according to few internet suggestions to no avail. Still OK, but not what I expected. To try and get a better picture, I'd have to pay for someone to come home and calibrate it... not what I would like to do. Also many websites do indicate this TV to be 60Hz, not 120Hz??? Should watching regular TV High Def channels also have some pixelation? I ask cause my 4k LG is flawless. Sorry.

I bought this TV last sunday (today is Tuesday), I am going to return it because I thought that I bought a 120 hz TV as the specifications on bestbuy wep page says but it is not, it's 60 hz. Also the image is not good, need more colors.

Third TV from BB this week needing to be exchanged for bad pixels right out of the box. Don't know what to do at this point. Whatever happened to quality control with the manufacturers?

Bought this TV based on some of the reviews I read. Even though there was some mixed reviews and feelings about this product. Personally I think this an entry level smart tv that lacks so many features and options. Don't bother with calling support, their knowledge is 0. I'm keeping the tv for regular use and forget about "smart" features.

First, best buy put the video saying all about Vizios dimmable areas they have on their screens. This model has none, this is misleading customers unless you ask. It also advertises that it is 120hz refresh rate this is also misleading. It really is a 60hz refresh rate that with the help of backlight and the dimmable areas ( which there are none ) it can sometimes maybe reach 120hz. When you are talking refresh rate either it is and can or just tell the truth it is 60hz.

The demo video on this tv showcases how beautiful it can be but after set up the home screen is blank and stays that why. Check the comments in a unboxing video on YouTube. The remote works until you want to use apps and it just seems like the ui and functionality no longer receive support from Vizio. I’ve had the tv for 4hrs and have factory reset multiple times. I have tried both WiFi and Ethernet. This tv is straight garbage.

TV died after 11 months of occasional use. Vizio was no help and best buy directed me to vizio. Worthless chinese junk. I will not purchase another tv from best buy or vizio. Pure garbage for customer service.
