Decent review. A lot of people dislike Vizio but they review pretty well. I had one for 13 years and it has been fine. Died on me. I am very old school and can't stand wireless so I bought a 25 ft HDMI cord to use the TV as computer monitor. I have Netflix and Prime and occasionally do something else. So I stream directly from the computer. i just watched the baseball playoffs on ESPN with no problem because Xfinity supports it. No need for built in nonsense.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I will be interested to see how much the company will change things up with these Smart TVs. Walmart bought VIZIO back in February, and its release of the Onn 4K Pro streaming device (powered by Google TV) was no joke. You can check out my video on that.
@@CordCuttingReport I have a problem maybe you can help. my old Vizio broke (TV portion only) and I was using it as computer monitor with its own RGB port. (working now) New TV only has HDMI and computer only has RGB/VGA. NO HDMI ports (Bought it refurnished) I was looking for a VGA TO HDMI adapter but almost all I see are HDMI TO RGB/VGA. Thought of going wireless but not sure Chrome cast will go automatically to full computer use and Dell is old but 500Gb and works well. Is there anyplace I can find what I need? Thanks
@@CordCuttingReport So I got it going and unfortunately it is a step down from my old one which was exceptionally sharp (47"). Less picture options andnot as good. no custom which I used. I settled on calibrated dark and fiddled a bit and it's Ok but not as crisp. Did not see a setting for motion smoothing. unless it's baked in . I do like filmaker mode for DVD's. I put in a non blue ray Avatar and was pleasantly surprised. The cable picture seems erratic and depends on the station feed. So I saw an NFL clip and it was great, incredible.

Will fiddle wih picture more and see videos for specific settings. Don't right now seem to see that big a diffence from lower HZ motion ratio. I guess you get what you pay for for $300. I think it will be livable if not occasionally iritating. If I get a windfall might go up to the next level, like $700-1000 range. Right now I'm on the old one via RGB cord. Computer has no HDMI ports. I can either spend $ 200 for a good refurbished one and the data transfer, or just keep using this as my monitior as long as I don't turn it off. Problems starting once turned on. TV portion is shot. Don't need smart applications because I view Netflix, Prime, etc throgh the hard wire for streaming. Works great. Will leave this for now and percolate on a decision for a computer. Thanks for your time. Any more advice is appreciated. I did not buy theTV because of you. There were alot of good professional reviews
@@CordCuttingReport So I've had the TV a bit more and it grows on me. The biggest surprise is how sharp and clear sports are. 60 motion hz is fine. Generally there is a bit of fine tuning depending on station or show. What did blow me away is how good 420 DVD's look and I haven't tried a blu ray yet. This is where 55" really outdoes the 47" because you can feel the sweep of it. More like a movie. Makes me want to get DVD's from the library. Filmmaker mode seems to help real movies. One drawback. Anywhere significantly to the side and all color washes out. Extremely limited viewing range. But I'm just one person so it's OK. No family. For $300 can't beat it.
Question: will it continue to function if it has no internet connection. My Visio V505-G9 will not Pass Go without a valid, active internet connection. That sucks for "Cord Cutting" (vs. Cord Swapping) ....
I have the same TV. I’m ready to replace it. This is like real basic some of the functions don’t even work and to update it. You have to jump through too many hoops.
Just bought a Vizio v series 50 inch and there is a light sphere on the bottom right of the tv. I was wondering it there's a fix for this without opening it up
The tv is nice but… The remote is missing the Info button. Why??? I have to use my remote from a Vizio tv I have had for at least 5 or 6 years to view the info on channel and program.
SmartCast is a nightmare. It’s super glitchy. Matter of fact Vizio TV’s are a nightmare. I’m a Maintenance Director at a skilled nursing center. 6 months after installing Vizios TV’s the picture began to fail. We’ve had to replace 8 TV’s so far. They are not durable and most certainly aren’t designed for a setting where they’ll be on most of the time. Meanwhile the 10 year old LG’s are still holding up. 🤷🏻♂️
Hey Jim, I can't find any help on my USB Flashdrive with MP4s on it, to play the whole movie (s). Only about 3 minutes of each. I have a Vizio 435 J01 HDR and it has 1 slot for USB 2.0. My flashdrive is a 3.0 that I am trying to use. I only have 2 options in formatting USB, NTFS or exFAT. So I tried another Flashdrive, also 3.0 with the FAT selection and it doesn't play the full shows either. Can you help me, or anyone that might read this?
Do not buy the V series Vizio TVs. Bought one 7 days ago and found out that it will not display at 4K on my Xbox one S and Xbox Series X and PS5 it defaults to HDMI compatibility mode and scales back to 1080p this is not acceptable. I called Vizio customer support and she had me on hold for an hour and came back and said I had to upgrade to the M series to get 4k gaming this is BS. My LG did 4k no problem. I am returning it fuc Vizio.
@@elir.torres8642I have a d series you actually have to manually activate the 4k through the settings upon startup very simple honestly , and also on Xbox you also have to activate the 4k through the settings on the console as well … Very frustrating and confusing for some but it’s just what we have to go through especially with cheaper TVs … Vizio is at least better then Henises and TCL which I regretted buying …
I have multiple v series from the past few years and my PS5 runs 4k 60hz on them all. I've even got an older D series that does 1080p 120hz that honestly imo is way smoother than the 4k 60hz... IDK dude, maybe you should trade in your Xbox and come over to the dark side
I do agree with you the SmartCast looks very similar to Google TV UI. I have a Vizio M Series 2015 55 inch and a Vizio P Series Quantum 2018 65" they both have Chromecast with Google TV 4K devices connected to them. Btw I'm not a fan of Vizio SmartCast UI.
You definitely can, it's just very confusing at first because you have to pair it by treating your speaker/soundbar like headphones. It does work, though.
I used to buy only Vizios. My last one only lasted a couple years and the screen went dark. I think I’ll go with a Samsung now. Might even try a Toshiba.
I've had a 32" Samsung LCD TV since 2009 and it still works as good as the day it was new. I just bought a 65" Onn LED TV because the 32" was too small for my new house. If the Onn doesn't last, I'll just get a Samsung.
I just got one of these, and while the picture is great, there's a high-pitched electronic buzzing sound if you set the backlight too high (over 50) that's very apparent if you set your tv to low volume. If you game, settings are preset whenever you start it up and the buzzing is even worse. Playing with the options did not help.
I love my V-series 50" TV with tuner that I have in the bedroom. Picture is nice (once I got it dialed in) both in the dark and in bright situations. I don't use the game mode on that TV. I have an E-series 55" in the living room that, although it doesn't have Dolby vision, it does have 12 local dimming zones and better color after I dialed it in. For the average person, Smartcast would be fine. But, for me, I needed a few apps including HDHomerun, which Smartcast doesn't support. HDHomreun recommends Plex, which doesn't support 4K or ATSC 3.0... So I got an Onn (Walmart) Chromecast + Google TV 4K for the bedroom and a standard Nvidia Shield for the living room.

My Vizio (not this model) was great when it was new and now the copious forced updates has made it barely a TV and more of a horribly performing Roku device. My TV is still not letting me watch anything while it downloads and plots how it will ruin the little bit of functionality that is left. Don't buy Vizio.

I think all these tv brands are typically a roll of the dice. Usually on the better side. You may have a Walmart “Onn” tv for 10 years and it’s just fine but then have a Sony or Vizio tv and it breaks down after a year or two but your friends same model lasts 10.
