Really nice picture especially if you have a 4K amazon streaming box or something like it. Pair it with the Visio sound bar and wireless sub and it this makes a great system for the bedroom!

Got this TV from Best Buy. I'd been looking for 49"-50" 4K TV with HDR around $400. The new TCL 49S515 (49S517) and this Vizio came into consideration. The new TCL already had enough reviews (most of them were positive), but this Vizio had only a few reviews (the ones from Google search were mostly part of a contest, so I'd say it's a bit bias). I went to a local Best Buy to compare them in person, but neither one of them was on display. So picking up this Vizio was not based on the reviews on this TV itself, but based on the reviews on TCL. Even though reviews on TCL were mostly good, but many of the reviews said negative things about the HDR and/or Dolby Vision bad performance. And the lack of component port on TCL made me take a chance on Vizio. I needed 4 HDMI for my devices (STB, Chromecast, Apple TV, 4k player, and X Box). Since neither of these TVs has 4 HDMI, I made a compromise with 3 HDMI and 1 component. Vizio already has Chromecast built in, so the 3 HDMI are for Apple TV, 4K player, and X Box. STB uses the component port (I believe STB doesn't have 4K content, so component is good enough). The picture quality is good (but deteriorates at angle; I believe it's common on VA panel). HDR and Dolby Vision works fine. Setting up was easy. Sound is not bad. Remote control is good. Built quality / design is ok (nothing's special). Chromecast works fine. However casting 4K YouTube video from a smartphone or a tablet through Wi-Fi won't give me a 4K video. And there's no option to change the video quality to get 4K. The YouTube app on TV itself does give me 4K for 4K video. In order to get 4K quality from casting YouTube 4K video, I need to connect the YouTube app on my phone or tablet to the TV's YouTube app by linking them based on TV code instead of Wi-Fi. And I need to open the Youtube app on the TV before casting a YouTube video (not on Smartcast home itself). Why casting instead of using TV app? To me it's easier to do video search on my phone or tablet than to do it on TV app. I wish that there was a way to add an app (apps are limited; not a problem if you have a dedicated streaming device). Smartcast is not so snappy. Input source could be better. Sometimes it gives me a black screen (I hear the sound, but no picture). Turning the TV off and on again fix the problem. Power savingmode is the default and it makes turning TV on/off a bit of pain. It can be changed in setting though. So far so good for me. Hopefully nothing will come as a bad surprise in the near future.
