Customer Ratings & Reviews

I first spotted this tv in another store and rather than wait for them to ship it to me I decided to visit Best Buy instead tv was 20$ more here but I don’t mind paying for xtra for the option of a warranty especially with the wiring in my old home. Now to the tv itself I was looking to upgrade an old tv I didn’t have any I did what I wanted at the time so I did my research and decided between a qled and an oled but that’s all I knew I wanted I also wanted 3D but I soon learned the newer TVs strayed away from that technology. So the first thing that brought me to this Tv was the price I saw many qled and oled TVs on the way to finding this one and the price started for lows of 750 to highs of thousands of dollars I almost gave in and opted to buy one of the regular uhd TVs but then I saw this familiar with the brand I looked into it a little it’s price was if I remember correctly after the warranty I still paid well under 600 if I recall right and that was with the 50” I was originally gonna get the 43” but they were out of stock and to be honest with the great price I figured might as well get a little extra plus unlike other brands the difference in price between the sizes was under 50$. Now I’m aware that some reviews put this tv down a lot especially when comparing them to other TVs that use the same technology so I’m gonna break down my analysis of the television. For one like I said the price is hard to beat vs other TVs in its classification. Now I know some people say the tv is too bright or the the colors aren’t sharp enough. My opinion no it doesn’t have the color contrast and depth that the more expensive models of other qleds have and I think the tv can get a little bright but it’s pretty easy to open the menu and adjust the brightness. I have also heard people had problems with the speaker’s sounding tinny on higher volumes. I turned it up for test purposes and ya all the way up does push them a little but I look at it as TVs are a lot more focused on other features like casting how fast the built in WiFi cards can keep up with and all these different kinds of picture types and how to beat other technologies so the speakers even on high end TVs get neglected anyways. That being said I’m not saying the nice TVs speakers are subpar just that speaker technology in TVs especially with limited space inside of it hasn’t excelled in prowess at nearly the rate picture quality has. So for me the speakers are perfect but I’m in a smaller room but nowadays if your room is of any real size I recommend getting a sound bar which actually work better than some cheaper end surround systems. A sound bar would also work really well with this tv since it has the space under it since it utilizes legs that each have two contact points on each one so the middle is unencumbered the legs by the way were made of metal to my pleasant surprise. Now one aspect most agree on is that this is an amazing tv or could be used as a monitor for pc or console gaming the gaming mode the tv has keeps everything moving gracefully and very fluidly. I’m no professional gamer I don’t have the time to play the as much as I used to or would like to so I can’t tell you the differences to the microsecond like some tournament players say but the images were sharp and flowed and transitioned better than any tv I’ve played on before will it make me a better gamer no the amount of time you save with a tv that runs this smooth is wasted on my skill level others out there it could make the difference between clutching a win or tasting defeat. For me it wasn’t abrupt or the best way I can describe it is choppy like other TVs were When I couldn’t tell what was wrong with them all I could tell was that it wasn’t smooth and something on them was off this one on ther other hand kind of felt like I was more a part of the game and the cutscenes flowed and captivated me more like a high end well made film that makes you feel like it’s all real. The only time I ever have a problem gaming on this tv deals with my internet connection but I have poor internet for gaming were I live. The tv is also a reasonable weight I actually have mine mounted in the bedroom and I like it’s thin bezel around the edges so it feels like you get more tv. The last thing I like about this is yes it has a build in Hd converter if you want to hook an antenna up but it also has a lot of apps preinstalled and has one it comes with that is kinda like having free basic cable it has some local channels and then a small variety then there are plenty of other apps on there preinstalled that have free shows you can watch all with a very simple to use interface. I love the apps it comes with because I like a lot of other people nowadays don’t have cable or satellite but instead just rely on streaming apps and the like for my tv viewing pleasure. That’s why I love the cable like app because when you have all the shows you wanted to arch to choose from sometimes at least with me the overload of options puts me out of the mood to enjoy them so then I don’t bother watching them the cable app brings back a nostalgia were you have select channels available and each one had whatever show was on so with this one I can channel surf until I find the show that catches my attention.

I was looking to upgrade a TV in small "rec" room and placement-wise, could only fit a 50" max. I found myself using this rec room more and more so I wanted to get something with modern features that wasn't going to break the bank (i.e. FALD, Dolby Vision). I do game as well so that was another consideration. After a few months of research, it came down to the Vizio M50Q7-H1 and the TCL 50S535 as both of these looked like the best bang for the buck in the 50" range with good picture quality (source: rtings.com). I was initially leaning towards the TCL (I already have 2 TCLs and love the Roku integration and it has better reviews) but it has no modern gaming features (no HDMI 2.1, ALLM, VRR) so even after reading the reviews of this unit and seeing some of the issues with power, I decided to jump on the Vizio. Pros: Picture quality is what you would expect in this price range. HDR is "just ok". Picture quality is better than the lower end TCLs but not as good as my 2018 TCL 6 series. Overall for the price, it's right there with what I expected. While it doesn't have 120Hz panel for gaming, it does do VRR and ALLM which will sync output from an HDMI 2.1 compliant gaming console to a locked 60fps (this reduces/eliminates screen tearing) and force "game mode" automatically, respectively. Have had the set for 2.5 months and no power issues thus far. Cons: The built-in Vizio software is clunky at best. Doesn't hold a candle to Roku IMO. I even bought a Roku stick just so I didn't have to deal with it. Another con "for now" is that if you have an HDMI 2.1 device (i.e. Xbox Series X or S), you cannot use any current HDMI 2.0 switch with it. Small use case but I was using a 4x2 matrix to output 3 different devices to 2 TVs. Had to scrap that for now as it won't work properly with HDMI 2.1 source and target devices. There are some issues with the TV going "black" when jumping from the menu into a game on the Xbox. This doesn't happen all of the time but lasts about 15 seconds before displaying again. Doesn't seem to be related to the power issues at all as the TV does come back on it's own. It will come back immediately if I power off and on again though (soft power not pulling the plug or full reset). A quirk but it hasn't irked me that much so far. Overall: 50" TVs unfortunately get the short end when it comes to features. You can't really find an affordable 50" that supports 120Hz, FALD or that has great HDR performance. So for now, and hopefully not forever, we are left with these sets that are "good" but not "great". It's funny because you hope over time that the deluxe features of X years ago will make it into lower end sets but that really isn't the case (i.e. my 5 year old Samsung KS8000 buries this TV in picture quality...granted I paid $1600 for it but it's a dinosaur compared to the best features of today). If you absolutely need a 50" and don't want to pay the piper for the 48" LG OLED, this may be as good as it gets. If you can go up to 55", you have much better options (120Hz, FALD, HDMI 2.1 features, better HDR performance, etc). Right now, if I was jumping on a 55", I would get the Sony XBR55X900H but would probably wait for a sale (think I saw these as low as $849 and the 65" as low as $999). Also, always check the reviews at rtings.com as new sets are starting to hit.

For $400 for a 50 inch tv with one of the best HDR on a tv and dimming zones is unheard of...until now. I’d recommend this TV if you’re on a budget. The HDR on my old Samsung was not even HDR it looked worse with HDR on then having it off especially playing video games, but on this I can actually experience more color and more blacks than on my Samsung that I replaced with this. My personal favorite feature is Airplay 2 because I am able to stream from my iPhone onto my TV.

Got this for a bedroom TV. Make sure you go to RTings.com for settings. Calibrated Dark is the best setting out of the box with some adjustments. Handles PS4, Fire Stick great. The SmartCast is good, not great, but I don't use it much, it does have a lot of features, I just prefer to play my streaming apps through my devices. It does have VUDU which is huge, and it plays VUDU in 4K, which is not an option on PS4 or fire stick. You get a lot for the price. The M series in the middle of the road, but well worth it one the V series in my opinion. Speakers are good, but you shouldn't not expect great spears on any TV. Casting videos from your phone or tablet is easy with smartest and air play. I can use my Samsung Galaxy and my iPad to cast to the TV with no problems. Only problem is sometimes it hesitates to turn on, so I just unplug the power and plug it back in. This is my third Vizio M Series and I have no major complaints or problems. Updating via WiFi is easy. Vizio eventually fixes issues with firmware updates. There was so blooming effects when having Active Array on, which I turned off, but firmware update fixed it eventually. TV has deep blacks and rich colors, looks better than Samsung and TCL which I have tried and was not happy with. I have it hooked up to a Yamaha Soundbar through ARC. This also has HDMI 2.1 for gaming.

Received my 50" Quantum Vizio tv on time and not damaged. It took a solid two days to set the color red vs green but once completed it is awesome. Like most large screen 4k led tv's the viewing angle is not the best but straight on the picture in my opinion is better then the foreign brands and at a much cheaper price. Also, for folks that want to hook a stereo amp to the the tv using rca jacks Vizio is the only tv I found to still have this capability. After a week of viewing the tv did have to be unplugged to start up. I have since placed the Vizio on a power strip and reset without unplugging, This is a Vizio problem found on most of their current lineup but for me it happens infrequent so I am living with the interface problem hoping Vizio can provide a fix in a later software update. Again for the price, the brilliant color and the rca jacks I can live with the power on issue. Once the tv is operating it is a quality product. An important side note if you have the need to adjust the picture to fill full screen you must select picture, then input picture settings, hdmi mode - select mode 1.4 instead of auto and the tv will restart allowing non high definition video to fill the entire screen. This is not written anywhere in their manual and use to be a quick remote "wide" button now dropped on newer models.

I love this tv so much. It’s beautiful and works with my PS4 pro amazingly. My only complaint is with the remote. The volume bottom can be a little laggy sometimes and take a while for me to actually be able to turn it up or down. Otherwise this tv is fantastic! And the free tv channels are a huge bonus!

Main use: Console gaming, PC monitor for work, Netflix/Amazon Prime/YouTube Pros: 1. Great picture quality 2. Easy to understand and operate user interface 3. Fast response 4. Future proof features 5. Low price given available features 6. Pro Gaming engine 7. East to setup Cons: So far none. I will update if I find one After doing some research I end up buying Vizio M series - M50Q7-H1. So far, TV has not disappointed me. It has everything I was looking for in my price range. I own a Vizio HDTV (60 inch). I have been using that TV from last 5 years and it has great picture quality for HDTV till date. I wont'g go into technical details. I am writing based on what I see and experience. I used to play console games (XBOX One X) on my old TV and it gives decent gaming experience given that it is 5 years old Tv so no HDR, VRR, 4K. After playing same games on this new TV with Pro gaming engine, that gaming experience is at another level. Awesome picture clarity, the sharpness, smooth motion, great gaming picture details. As the TV input for console is selected and game is started, it automatically shows HDR 10 and Pro Gaming engine on screen to show that it's on. The moment you see game screen, you will see big difference in picture quality. If you are going from 1080p TV to 4K, it's going to be huge difference. (It is At lease for me) Given pandemic situation that we are all in and Working from home situation, another reason I bought this TV for. 50 inch TV instead of those wide screen monitors for work in lower price than those monitors and it works great as PC monitor. I can divide 50 inch screen into 4 screens using 3rd party application. It's like having 4 - 24 inches monitors on one screen without running multiple cables and need of docking station. Just one HDMI cable and you have 4 screens like experience. I haven't watch many videos on this TV other than few YouTube videos but I am looking forward to watch some Netflix on coming weekend and see how it performs. Build quality on this TV is good. When you touch it, it doesn't seem cheap. I wish it was more slim that it is. I'd rather prefer after market TV stand than legs it comes with just for my own satisfaction that it won't break.

This is the first modern 4k TV I've ever purchased. I was between this and the V-series, but I think I made the right choice. The picture on this thing is incredible with well mastered content. Black levels are excellent, and overall contrast is great even without local dimming (there's only 16 zones, so it doesn't make a huge difference). Brightness is fine for a well lit room. The colors really pop on this screen, especially with HDR content (this is a QLED display). I don't use the built in speakers, I'm hooked up to a 5.1 sound bar system, but I've heard they're about as good as you expect in a flat screen. Watchfree is a nice feature, with lots of content streaming in 720p or higher (PlutoTV actually has a 4k channel, but you have to load their app to access it). The other apps seem to be fairly quick and work well. I've been able to stream 4k HDR content from Netflix, Prime, and YouTube so far. There was an initial bug causing a colored line along the bottom of the screen which was fixed in a recent firmware update. Since that's been fixed, I feel quite happy with this TV purchase.

The gaming mode was appealing for sure. I was in need of an upgrade and the price was reasonable. The picture quality is definitely approaching mid-range, but it looks good. The remote is a bit unresponsive at times. It got stuck during an update only once and stuck in standby mode once. Hopefully they can work out some of these bugs through updates.

I’ve had this TV for a few months now. This TV has good picture quality, especially for just under $400. The speakers are ok. If you’re picky with sound quality, I’d recommend buying a sound bar. The software works fairly well on the TV, haven’t had any major issues. However, VIZIO doesn’t have an ESPN app. There’s a bunch of other apps for things that I’ve never heard of, but ESPN is not available on VIZIOs??? Lastly, I have a weird power issue. After turning the TV off for the night, sometimes the white power led will be on the next day (even though the TV is off). When this happens, the TV will not turn on with the remote or physical power button. I have to unplug the TV, wait a few seconds, replug it back in, and use the physical power button to turn on the TV. This is very inconvenient and disappointing for a ~$400 TV, but not worth the hassle of trying to get a replacement.

Bought for myself i could not be any happier works great sounds is great pic is great nice and slim what can i say great buy

For the price ... almost perfect! (Probably a 4.5 in reality.) I previously owned the 2019 version of this TV then my dogs collided into my stand during their playtime and the tv went flying ... DEAD TV! So after reading so many reviews I tried the new 2020 Hisense Quantum TV ... HATED IT! So, I got the new model of my old Vizio which I previously was satisfied with. My findings: OS system is now smooth and transitions between apps great, big improvements to the remote, more weight, clearer buttons and no longer will the back pop off if you drop it. The quantum colors are PHENOMENAL when streaming 4k, UHD, 10+ or Dolby and even 1080p. Everything is crisp, clear, bright and colors pop ... even blacks are extremely good. I really only have 2 issues with this tv ... both fairly minor. I still have Dish TV but probably watch it for only a few hours weekly ... mostly cable news and 1 or 2 programs on local channels. For some reason, it doesn't handle non-streaming or at least Dish very well. The programming looks real good but you definitely see minor artifacts when viewing and things are not perfectly crisp. The other is extremely picky but would have been nice ... like still no way to watch from a hot-key or app to watch Google Play. I have lots of movies that I own in my online library. So you must go to the online app and stream it from your phone or in my case, I use a Roku stick. All in all, for $399 for this type of set ... very much worth it. (PS ... tomorrow I'm getting my hanging bracket to mount my TV on the wall. No more puppy dog accidents! PPS ... look online at Rtings.com for recommended settings for SD and HD ... will make it look even better.) Enjoy!!!

For the price you can’t go wrong the picture is reasonable quality and the system is very responsive!

Love the picture quality. I added a sound bar and now love watching movies!

Good picture on Calibrated with a slight bump to brightness. Upscaling from cable HD isnt the greatest, but I guess thats expected on a lower model. X box one X looks fantastic and the new game engine is pretty phenomenal. I'll most likely have to return this one because of screen issues. Theres about 3/8 black strip that goes around the outside of the screen up to the bezel, well as mine makes it way down to the last 3' of the TV it seems to taper slightly inward so EVERYTHING played on letterbox shoots light out of the gap between bezel and black strip. Definitely a quality control issue

I am not a gamer and only use for sports, movies and streaming. I will admit it took an hour to configure picture to my liking but when I got it wow! Beautiful picture and darks are pretty good . Side angels you do lose a lot of clarity but not to bad we’re you can’t see what’s going on. Great remote for a change and plenty of games and features I will probably never use. For value and price it gets a 4.5

My son has a 65" VIZIO M series and I had purchased an LG 65" for the living room, but that remote control (classified as the top of the line) is the most complicated and hardest to understand that I have ever received with a TV. It's true this M series is totally worth it, totally. It has enough HDMI, USB, loads of color AND I like that it has better free channels than LG, even includes FOX news and Bill O'Reilly on OTT's The First. The VIZIO app screen is direct no having to look for it.

I primarily game on this TV, and it's wonderful. I do wish it had a 120hz panel, but for the price I'm not complaining. Colors (Quantum dot) are great as well as black levels. There is virtually no backlight bleed which is a huge priority for me. My biggest complaint is blooming and some dirty screen effect, but I can live with it. I was happy to see VIZIO add gaming features. In my opinion this TV is a great option to consider. My primary TV is an LG OLED and I can say that I'm happy with this VIZIO in comparison.

Nice TV. Operating system perfect for my needs. Picture is quite good straight on. Gets a bit washed out from an angle. Good value.

Great tv, classic Vizio. Great picture but horrible speakers. Great gaming tv though. Definitely would recommend. HDMI 2.1 ports, pro gaming chip. Outstanding value.
