    Missing Something

    I bought this as a secondary TV to stream multiple nets at once. I was surprised it does not have a single sports streaming app that are widely used. It does not have ESPN (which is common on pretty much every other brand) or Fox Sports. I just assumed they would be on there. I went with Vizio because the did have Peacock while other brands did not. Picture quality is good, but not as good as Samsung. Not sure I’d buy another Vizio unless the add more streaming partners (apps).

      Hello Jdlitz,

      Thanks for leaving your review! Regarding not having sports streaming apps, most of the common sports streaming apps support Chromecast or AirPlay, both of which are supported by SmartCast. We appreciate the feedback and will make sure to take it into consideration as we explore adding more apps to the platform. VIZIO

    Well the first tv we got was shattered in the box, but best buy exchanged it and the new one is awesome. Easy set up, great size and clear picture. Very reasonably priced too. We have had it for a month now and are very happy with it.

    Overall, I love this tv because of the many apps it has already installed. The best part about this tv is it has a built in chromecast so you can view whatever is on your phone or many devices on this type of tv. Great!!!

    I decided to purchase this TV after doing a little comparison shopping, and it had one of the better displays for the price point. While the picture quality is great (I upgraded from a 43-inch Phillips), the sound is terrible! You definitely need a soundbar to get quality audio, as the built-in speakers are weak and can not handle any level of quality sound effects in movies, dialogue on even something as basic as a news broadcast, and forget music altogether! The second thing that lowered the rating on this TV is that it is temperamental when it comes to switching inputs (ex. switching from the cable box to an AppleTV). Quite often you need to play around with the various remotes to get it to properly switch sources (even when the settings are such that the devices should be able to control this functionality), and this also seems to confuse it when it comes to the soundbar. Half of the time it won't recognize the soundbar, and you have to unplug and replug the HDMI cable. The sound menu on the set itself is not useful for this on its own. Overall, it isn't a bad set, especially for the price, and I would likely recommend it, but with the caveats mentioned above, and the heads up on the absolute need for buying a soundbar along with it.

    Great TV for the price. It has a neat interface and looks good right out if the box. The only thing I would play with is the brightness. 4kpicture is decent. Again, for the price this is a good deal. Great entry level 4k tv.

    When we purchased this tv it worked great but lately when trying to watch apps we get sound but no picture, it constantly disconnects from our sound bar, and sometimes it won’t even load the Vizio smartcast because it says there isn’t an internet connection (there is). We are constantly rebooting the tv in settings to get it to work. When it works it works fine, but it isn’t worth the trouble.
