Its a good tv! It was reasonably priced(I had Best Buy cash so that made it even better priced). This tv is very light weight, easy enough for one person to lift and move. It has a good quality picture. It is a smart tv with many preloaded apps such as Hulu, YouTube tv, Amazon prime, Netflix Disney+, AppleTv and Peacock. It also has several apps with free movies or tv shows which makes it nice if you don’t have cable. I’m not impressed with the sound quality. I don’t know if it’s something adjustable that I haven’t figured out yet but it just doesn’t sound right, like theres not enough base. We use a sound bar so it’s not that big of a deal. The other thing I didn’t like is the legs. The legs set maybe 4-6 inches from each of the outside edges. They were set so wide the tv didn’t fit my tv stand, which is made to hold a 50” tv. Fortunately, you can get a universal tv base that connects to the back of the tv and takes the place of the wide set legs. Overall its a good tv.
The pictures are of the tv with the original legs and then the tv with the universal stand I purchased separately.

Thanks, Gav! It sounds like you found the right audio solution you were looking for. For anyone looking to add more bass and an overall immersive audio experience, then adding a sound bar is 100% the way to go. We appreciate the feedback on the stand design!

I bought this Vizio tv earlier today to replace a smaller tv in my living room. I have been researching 50” tvs for awhile now. I was going to wait to get the quantum one but it’s about $140 more. I’m not a tech freak and all this stuff about pixels and all that other crap, well this tv is great to me! Took out of the box, put the plate on the back to hang it where my other tv was, hooked up my clear stream antenna(Comcast is unaffordable for me)plugged it in and setting it up was so easy! The hardest part was putting all my info in for Netflix, Disney plus, YouTube and others. I no longer need my fire stick! I was amazed!

so far so good! I have this tv hanging on the wall in my bedroom and mainly watch netflix/Hulu on it, but the picture is awesome. Its really user friendly and comes with a surprising amount of free content. Super easy to cast from your phone (I have an android) on apps like youtube and Spotify. My only issue is that I get some glare on this TV if I watch during the day, but as you can see in my picture my curtains are basically sheer lol. In the vivid picture mode, its very bright at night, but not as bright as i would sometimes want it when i watch during the day. Overall, this is a great tv for streaming shows and movies, and the occasional video game (that's all I've used it for). The picture is very clear and the sound actually isn't terrible like a lot of tvs are now.
We also have an M series in our house hung in one of the bedrooms that gets daily use of casual watching, video games, and sports. If you're stuck between these two and not sure which to purchase because of the price difference like I was, I'd say get this tv. Now I'm not a tv expert or anything, but if you're buying on a budget, i find this tvs picture to compete pretty well with the pricier M series. The M definitely gets brighter than this one, but the sound quality is the same and this tv can do pretty much everything the M can.
First photo is in the evening with the light on, second is lights off at night, third is afternoon.

I purchased this for my daughter’s room. The price was great. The sound and picture quality is really good I was impressed. Our TVs in our other rooms are Samsung, but after reading reviews on the Vizio we decided to purchase. It has every preloaded app you can think of. We have Xfinity and we did not have to purchase another cable box. All we had to do was download the app to the tv. However, we were not able to figure out how to add apps to the tv, so we used the fire stick previously purchased from Best Buy also to download the Xfinity app. Now you can watch cable or watch what is on the preloaded apps. It has many incredible features and we are still exploring.

This tv was easy to set up in the living room. I purchased this tv because I have a vizio tv in the mancave that I’m very happy with and needed to upgrade the living room tv to a larger screen. The SmartCast lacks useful apps, I supplemented it with a Roku express to make up for this. The TV does also have poor sound quality. This was easily fixed by adding the vizio sound bar with subwoofer. Now the living room is a complete home theater! For the price, you can’t beat it. Vizio is a trusted brand for your viewing pleasure.

Best Buy Vizio Tv Purchase

I really like this TV for the price that I bought it for. I really enjoy the 4K resolution And I really like that they included free channels. The TV is pretty easy to set up I don’t think I took more than 10 minutes Navigating the menu. My only complaints are that the TV didn’t have a Bluetooth and TV command also The leg stand that the tv comes with are very far apart Which brought me to buy a different leg stand for the Vizio tv. Other than that the TV is excellent for someone under a budget.

This is m in this third V-Series Vizio going back to 2008. For the affordable price you get an exceptional TV picture. I made the switch from a cable box to 100% streaming, The connection to the homes wifi was seamless and stable. The processor in this TV has not failed me. Connection to You-Tube TV is very clear and since a lot of channels are in 1080p You get the real life type picture. The amount of apps is you have access is amazing. Plus you can download the Vizio app and have the remote on the phone with access to apps. Refresh rate is adequate in live sports and video game playing. Highly recommend this TV for the price.

Very Good TV

I have had this TV for a little over a month now and I love it! It’s the perfect size for my living room. The quality of the image is crystal clear. I added some backlights behind it that really enhances the experience. If I had to list any issues, the only one I’d say is that at times, the sound isn’t too great. I find myself having to turn the volume all the way up on certain channels and shows in order to be able to hear certain things clearly. I ordered a Vizio sound bar to go with my tv in hope it will resolve this issue. It’s in the mail right now, so I can’t comment on that at the moment. Overall, it’s a great tv and I am happy with my purchase.

Im usually a huge vizio fan BUT I purchased this tv and while in a he beginning process everything was working amazing the picture was phenomenal .....three hours into watching various movies while setting up movie apps half the screen went dark . I tried everything....... resetting the tv to factory settings. I even turned it off for like half an hour. Turned the tv back on and it worked the screen was back to normal. But about an hour later ( maybe sooner) boom half the screen went dark again. I was disappointed AND was still willing to give vizio another shot but I got to the store none were in stock so I bought a lg sorry you let me down for the third time. I had a 60 INCH that developed purple spots . I had 65 INCH that developed dead little spots . So time to go with another tv brand..... rip Vizio
