Excellent Job! I was considering several different brands, and your video tipped the scale towards Vizio. Gonna grab a 65" V-Series today. Thanks for your comprehensive, thorough review!
I have the 65 inches v series and it is great GET IT!!
Just picked up the 58” it’s just the wife and I and it’s amazing! Thanks guys couldn’t be happier!
If you could you should get a Vizio M series quantum .. or a Vizio P series . I took my Vizio V series back a day after I got it in exchange for a P series and it’s a big difference ! There’s now a P series QX which is a lot more expensive than the V but if you’d like to meet in between the M series Quantum 2019 version is very very good !
I just purchased the new 2023 v505 series it's a nice value set
The fact I can hook up old tech is what sold this for me.
VHS TAPES!
All my TV's are Vizio. Three in the workout room/ one for my Cycling online video, one for my treadmill, and one for my rowing machine. I have another (42") in my living room that I have had for over 12 years, still works great. Can't beat them.
Vizio V series TV was what I got in 2019 and this is still doing great. Thanks to the Mediatek chipset, the performance is excellent.
I just bought this TV today from Costco in San Diego I bought the 58 inch I didn’t even know they made that size. I purchased it for $359.00. I love the size! I love the picture quality, I love the sound! I love the shape of the tv I have it on the tv legs it came with and it’s super sleek and not bulky at all. The only thing I am not crazy about is the flimsy little remote it comes with. The remote feels cheap due to its extremely light weight. Other than the remote I honestly LOVE this TV! I was actually able to get internet to work from my hotspot from my phone! I am using my WiFi from my home now but I wanted to just see if my personal hotspot on my cell phone would work and sure enough it did I actually watched a show on Netflix. Great buy in my opinion! 🤗💕🙏🏽👍🏽
You didn't know the made tv's that size?!
Well if you think your tv is the biggest tv there is...
Let me tell you, there are tv bigger than 77"
@@suddenleaf lol, my tv is bigger than your tv, and hairier too!
@@suddenleaf 58" is an oddball size as most companies either make 55 or 60. Obviously the person knew they make TVs bigger than 58 in.
Just a idea for those of you who have this model or similar outputs. Take a active subwoofer,and plug it in the coaxial output. Put the adjustment in the sound menu on variable. Adjust the sound adjustments on the subwoofer to preference, and the equalizer settings to preference, and repeat until the sound is set.
John Simun Thanks!
Your referring to the red and white RCA outputs? I wonder if I would need to use a two into one adapter to go from stereo to the mono input on my subwoofer? I think so.
I notice Vizio is one of the few brands with this analog audio output.
Sorry, if I talk to you like you are an idiot. Please take no offense.
Yes, the red and white plugs. First, check the televisions menu, under the audio tab, for an choice of “fixed” or “variable”. Then select “variable” Then plug the cable into the “audio out” on the tv. If the powered subwoofer has only 1 input, you will need that “Y” adapter.
I have an Infinity BU-2, the manual shows to place the “Y” adapter into the subwoofer, and run the single cable into the mono sub out on the amplifier. I don’t think it will make a difference either way. I would use the best cable I have for the run between the tv and subwoofer. So if you have better red and white cables use the Y adapter on the subwoofer. If you have a better single cable, use that one.
After everything is connected. In the televisions menu, place the equalizer at 0. Subwoofer knobs 1/2 way. Sit in your normal position, get comfortable. Have someone else adjust the knobs ad needed.
Imagine an equalizer from back in the day. The subwoofer will produce bass from the left to the right. The crossover is the point that the subwoofer will produce sound up to. The higher the crossover is set, the more to the right of the imaginary equalizer, the subwoofer will produce bass notes. The gain is the volume fo the subwoofer.
So, watch something generic like the news while you are adjusting the sound.
The televisions equalizer adjustments will be made lightly. If you like the sound to be brighter adjust accordingly. The televisions equalizer will also affect the subwoofer also. The lower frequencies on the televisions equalizer, will affect the subwoofer up to roughly the frequency the crossover on the subwoofer is set.
The televisions built in speakers will still operate as they would without the subwoofer connected. So adding more bass on the equalizer will also add more bass on the televisions built in speakers. Be careful not to have the settings too high for the bass. That could distort the televisions speakers.
The way you can check is. First watch an movie, music video, concert, or anything with a wide variety of frequencies. Especially something that has more bass, such as plane crashes, car exhaust loping, or just your choice of music. Look at the number that the televisions volume shows. Let’s say 43 is loud but normal. Like for a movie or listening to music. Unplug the subwoofer, and listen to the same thing. Except this time turn it up to 48, maybe even 50+. This way you have some headroom.
As it is playing walk up to the tv, listen to the speakers, and the television. Does it sound like the tv is blown out? Is the television body resonating certain frequencies?
If not producing crystal clear sound, adjust the equalizer as needed. Don’t worry about the bass. You are only worried that the televisions built in speakers are producing the best sound they can.
Then plug the subwoofer back up, and adjust the crossover, and the gain on the subwoofer.
That is the best sound you can have, with the equipment you have.
If you have enough cable length. Place the sub in the corner, under a table, behind a piece of furniture, anywhere that the cable will allow. Keep in mind, the longer the cable, the more the signal will break down. Shorter is better.
If placing the subwoofer under a table is better for the room setup, then adjust the subwoofer accordingly, only the subwoofer. To improve the bass in that position. The only option is to adjust the crossover and gain. If not happy then, the only other option is to get another subwoofer that will fit under the table, or wherever you have found.
If you want deeper (not louder) bass. You will need a larger subwoofer. If your sub is an 6.5 inch, try an 8 inch. If possible to get an 12 inch active subwoofer, that would be preferable. An 12 inch subwoofer doesn’t mean louder, but deeper bass, compared to a smaller driver.
If you want louder bass. You will need one that has more power.
If you feel you have the skills. You can remove the back of the television, and tie into the wires on the televisions built in speakers, to run the sound directly to the subwoofer. That would work if you do not have a “variable output” on your television, and you have the ability to put the speaker wires into the subwoofer.
You can also disconnect the televisions built in speakers, and drop the wires down to an set of speakers, from let’s say an old boom box. Look up the televisions specs. Try to match the ohms and power. Keep in mind the smaller the driver the higher. While the larger the lower.
This is not perfect sound, but is an improvement on the televisions sound.
@@JasonWW2000 sorry for the novel.
@@johnsimun6533 I've been an audio guy for like 30 years so I know how to get good sound. Thanks for taking the time to write that, though. The thing I wasn't sure about was if this V series model could output on those RCA's and the built-in speakers at the same time. It would be a shame if the internal speakers turned off if it detected a signal on it's RCA outputs. You own this V series and it outputs both at the same time, right?
It would be nice to have a simple sound setup for a change instead of having to go through an audio-video receiver or soundbar with 2 remotes and having to turn multiple units on/off all the time. I've got this active 12 inch subwoofer with a Auto on and off feature just sitting here so it would be really nice to integrate it directly to the TV. I wish all TVs had an LFE output to give them some extra bass.
This RCA audio output is really the only thing that's making me look at the Vizio brand. No one else seems to have that.
Got the TV Friday, pretty good so far, I’ve had good experience with VIZIO. This is my first V-Series TV. Price is honestly surprising for how much the TV can do. I had a TCL TV before getting the VIZIO but to be honest, I can’t really enjoy TCL TVs as much as I can enjoy VIZIO TVs.
So overall, I give the TV an 8/10, it’s not perfect, but definitely pretty good for the price.
I have the same model but instead it's a 43 inch. Such a great TV for the price!
I bought the 55 inch v-series vizio and love it especially with my Xbox one x I watched Midway on ultrahd 4k bluray and was blown away it was awesome
Jesse Pike Does the 4k look good with the Xbox one x? I have a buddy selling this tv and his one x for $400, that a good deal you think?
@@aprt4458 yes definitely considering the fact the one x is 300-400 by itself and this TV costs me 338 at Walmart before taxes 400 for both is a good deal and the 4k looks good to me but this is my first 4k TV but I will say for sure watching a 4k ultrahd bluray on the one x is amazing I recommend getting Midway it's a great movie and watching it in ultrahd 4k don't get no better than that
Guys I need help, how can I turn on my UHD color to watch 4k videos. I have tried all I could but once it gets to that option where it should turn on it skips it
@@vincentnwadiaru1758 you need a 4k hdmi 2.0 cable to use uhd for watching TV, regular DVDs, etc. If you have a Xbone x it comes with a 4k hdmi 2.0 cable so when you go to the menu and input settings you can turn on full UHD high speed 4k hdmi 2.0 cables are fairly cheap 12-15 dollars
Whas good I'm gonna pick this up this week, so my question to u is, did u do any tinkering with calibration once u unboxed it or no. And also I too have an one X....did the Dolby vision perform better than hdr 10 when using it from the console. And do you have an sound bar to compliment it as well. That's my next purchase. Gamer on a budget.
Thank you kindly for the review :> I have held onto my EV series HD 55 inch smart tv from approximately a decade ago, when it was around $1200, and have taking it everywhere I move. Though now sets are lighter, less expensive, and more feature packed, and I have a sort of attachment to Vizio, and apparently this V series is better for gaming than comparable prices sets(?), so hopefully I can have my cake and eat it too ^^;
Bought the 55” right after Christmas. You really need to tweak the picture settings but once done, the picture is very acceptable for the price. And yes you need the right cables.
Put your settings below. I would love to see what yours are.
@@derekwebster8442 OK. Here they are. The settings for the Color Tuner were from a customer review in 2014 of my old Vizio M552i-B2 1080P TV which I gave to my daughter. I tweaked them as well. The others I just fiddled with. I'm not an expert at all, but the picture is pretty good. Watch the 4k Costa Rica video on TH-cam. Of course you can tweak these settings as much as you like. Hope this helps. Enjoy and let me know.

derek webster oh. The other video is also on TH-cam of a woman riding a black horse. Just search for 4K horse video and you’ll find it. It’s a Samsung 4K demo.
@@TheBoomerPlace Thanks for the help. I've calibrated my screen & it looks Great!!!!!!
derek webster Good to know. Glad it worked out !!!
The design of this smart TV is really good and so is the performance of the integrated mediatek processor
I bought the 2023 v series 50 when it first came out in July and I love it great tv at a budget price
It really is a good TV I got mine for 250 bucks brand new and it was a 50 inch now I have a 65 inch TV series quantum.
Bought a 70" for $478 in Dec.20 and a 55" in Feb. 21 for $338....V705-H1 & V555-H-1....we are very happy with them so far....Samsung wants too much money....my old 50" Samsung suddenly went belly up after 8 years of service....I kinda glad it did.
Thanks for the video I would have been upset not having a HDMI cable and the people at Best Buy definitely didn’t say I needed 1
Would this tv be great for 4k gaming? Are the colors good?
Get it! i just bought mines for gaming yesterday and its definitely worth it!
@@isaiahfernandez3309 is there hdmi 2.1 ports on the back? I’m really considering buying this for the series x, it looks like it has everything
@@Sam-tg6ee yeah it has hdmi 2.1 ports
Thanks for the help. I’ve been trying to decide between r6040g and v405-h19. I’m definitely going to go with the vizio now after seeing how consistent the picture was compared to how much the hisense had screen bleed around the edges
Just ordered hope it doesn't get lost in shipping like the "55 4K D-Series Full Array. Damn COVID-19 Thieves!
Cedric Oliver I have this tv but was looking to see if it was any good 😂
Lmao really?, i just ordered 1 from bestbuy
My review. 4 stars. Picture is excellent. Turn on vivid if you want more bright and color.plenty bright. There is NO app store! About 20 preinstalled apps. But , u can stream from phone to tv. my phone has all apps.( cinema hd app works streaming..theatre movies..free).remote doesn't have voice command nor does the app. You'll need alexia thing..also remote is good. point it straight up or sideways and still works. unlike old vizio tv which u have to point exactly to corner of tv.
Also..what's great.startup time. Turn on, all apps are ready to go in 8 seconds.unlike my old samsung tv, Clear pic but MINUTES for apps to load. Anyway tv is a keeper.
I purchase a Vizio 4K yesterday I like it
Nice video. Not sure if all the HDMI inputs will accept 4K content, though.
I have this exact tv. All HDMI ports support 4k 60Hz. I'm just loving it! I highly recommend!
I got this Tv last Month i enjoy it the only problem is that it doesn’t have a Web Browser or Play Store
Duh it’s not a tablet it’s a tv
Mirror screen from cellphone
Lol don't need app store my 2023 v series has lots of apps and if it doesn't have one that you like just cast it it's easy and looks wonderful has air play too
Great review, I have the 55" V Series.....
I wish Vizio would still used the component/composite combo. I had my Wii and PS2 and using an already progresive signal provided a slightly better upscale. But then again my Vizio kinda sucked upscaling composite. Everything else was pretty much perfect. Hence I'm going for another Vizio for it's replacement, cept wanna go for a cheaper version. Looking at the V and the M series.
Looking for a tv for the switch. You think this tv would be good??
@@gouki290 I'm not sure about this particular generation, I can speak for the previous one. The Switch would look great color wise and all and the Switch doesn't need much since it run any crazy specs like 4K HDR 120Hz. But that can also make it harder to choose. Like when you see old content on an old TV and it looks fine, but that same content looked bad on newer TV. Because of the upscale. Whatever TV you choose for the Switch will have to upscale to 4K, from 1080p or even 900p in games like Breath of the Wild. Vizio upscale decently enough, some people won't even notice. That said, as much as I love Vizio, if you are only gonna run content that will be upscale. Others do a better job. On the budget level, TCL upscale better. Again, most people don't even notice, I'm very sensitive about it. Plus my TVs double as monitor, been on a desk I sit pretty close to it. If you put some space you'll be fine.
Are you able to add more apps to the TV?
is those HDMI cables 2.1 ?
All the thumbs up are wrong. V series is hdmi 2.1 through aARC. So not full bandwidth of HDMI2.1 But the p series has HDMI 2.1
@@PabloThaGreat there we go thumbs-down so you wont be self conscious
@3:44 “supporting up to HDMI 1.4 “
only one 2.1 port right?
Does this model have the Sling TV app built in without needing an additional device such as the Roku?
The 4K support is a huge plus along with the mediatek processor and the decent price point.
Can you tell me how to add additional apps to this TV? I want to add Fubo which is currently not an option
Hello my question is when I push the Netflix button or home button on the remote nothing comes up and like u had that screen with all the apps I have not been able to get that? Do you think it needs a new remote or it’s the tv? I just bought the tv 3 days ago. Nice video and explaining I didn’t know about the 4K hdmi ultra cord
I’m having the same problem with the controller. And I can’t raise the volume on it. Then when you click and of the inputs the screen goes black for a few mins then comes back. Also can’t find how to get to the apps
I am having the same problem
Having the same issue with the 50 inch, After 4 hours of troubleshooting the only solution was to have my PlayStation stream which defeats the purpose of the smart tv. Tried hard resetting and soft resetting a couple of times and it got worse each time now I can’t even pull up anything other than my PS4 and I have to HDMI link the tv. Best bet is to return and get a new one like I am.
@Chunkles Mcgee I think that I will be returning mine tomorrow as well
I am having the same problem
Can this run 120hz
Yeah at like 1080p
Vizio 40inch 405-h19 :Get a firestick4k and you enable dolby video and dolby audio.
It's a much better experience.
So glad I did it. Picture is better
Sound better and I like the menus better then that comes with the tv. Also you can connect wireless headphones over the firestick. Works just fine to me it makes the whole this much better.
Great deal for its price! However, I wasn't able to see all the available apps ie TH-cam etc., nor was I able to access the free channels. I'm wondering if its because I decline providing company with info? Also, I only get black screen when tv is inactive, instead of a beautiful screen saver.:/
Did you happen to solve this issue?? I happen to have the same problem
I have the same problem
Its possible. Vizio was sued for taking peoples info without their permission, so it may be required that you agree to them using some information in order to use the full functionality of the TV.
Yaritza Pacheco mine did the same out of the box. However combing through these comments earlier, a young lady said she had the exact same issue and posted the steps to fix it and it worked to perfection. I was so pissed last night when I hooked mine up. Thankfully it’s all good now. Lmk if you still need help
Look beautiful !
Great video , very straight forward and clear!. On the apps can you add/remove them? I need to add my Plex app and remove others I dont use, seems to just clutter the screen.
I bought a 50 inch. I like it so far. It has a lot of streaming features my old tv didn't have. The price was good too. $300.00
Hi there did your 50 inch v series have free channels still in it and how many inputs for HDMI did it have thanks
@@dionnet2574 yes it has plenty of free options. On top of all the pay sites to. I think it has 4 HDMI slots. I would have to count when I get home.
What's refresh rate on the HDMI inputs.. 120hz hdmi 2.1??
Thinking about purchasing. I don't have a 4k fire stick will my older model work ?
It should. It will upconvert a 1080 signal into a 4K signal. It won't have as much detail as a true 4K signal but it should look pretty decent.
Is it good for a ps5?
Great tv for just over 200 bucks - the remote shape and flat dark buttons aint !
rather spend few bucks more for a Samsung 43"
@@MrProTechHD I don’t think the Samsung one has hdmi 2.1 tho
@@owenrolo9472 ..you also won’t have 3 HDMI inputs like the Vizio!
40" V series is a nice set. Don't like narrow viewing angle, compared to others. Other features are nice. So top HDMI input, is best HDMI input, for Roku 4k, streaming device, that came with special (short) high quality cable. I learned that today thanks!
For a nice and wide viewing angle you want to look at televisions that use an IPS style LED array.
Can you add missing apps? I heard it doesn't have HBO max and you can't add it? I know you can simply stream it from a phone but just curious.
You the man
Hi, my question is how do you find the home? That shows all the apps in the video near to the end I was praying you would show, how to go to home. My Vizio is only connected to the the internet, please help me out.
Navigate to the input button on you remote. Keep hitting the input button until you see SmartCast (home). Or you can just hit the house located on the remote somewhere in the middle of the remote. Good luck!
It was already on smart cast the only thing that works is xumo which is free movies along with the kids CBSN, NBC NEWS NOW and today show or the on demand. I just can't pull up the part where u have all the apps TH-cam tv, TH-cam and more
CherriRoseFourtyfour CR44 hmmm.. that’s weird. I’m not sure why the only thing that’s working is Xumo. Have you tried doing a factory reset and running through the process again?
Hi yes I reset it yesterday but I still have the same problem
I’m having the same problem with mine did u find out how to fix that??
Great review👍. Does anyone know if this tv can connect to a soundbar through Bluetooth? Because I want to upgrade my tv to pair it to my soundbar
No Bluetooth!
I talked to customer service!! I FIXED MY TV!!!!! Only the Netflix was working and nothing else nor smartcast. And now everything works !!! No more BLACK SCREEN. bye bye 🤩🤩🤩
Vannessa Silva how? Because mine does the exact thing!
Madison Botsford So I was about to return it because of all the comments etc and it wasn’t working. But after I talk to Visio customers service. It’s A AWESOME TV. Might need a sound bar though
Madison Botsford But you go to the setting and do a reset on the tv and start allllll over and skip your email etc cause u already set it up. Etc. so you’ll go to menu - tv setting - go to system- click for updates. ( if it still doesn’t work then do the steps above again ) then reset - admin - reset to factory settings - I have the Vizio customer service guy walk me through the sets. I was so happy after I cried and gave me 5 stars lol. Hopes this helps. There number is Technical support: 1 (855) 833-3221. And they said you have a warranty and they will ship u a new tv etc. ONLY IF ITS ACTAULKY DAMAGE. You will need the model number on the side of tv it should be on the right side. And by that they see if it’s broken or if it’s not connecting to internet etc. pretty cool sorry for replying late.
I bought this tv from Sam’s Club back in October but because we’re remodeling our house, it sat in the box until last night. At the time it was on sale for like $250 and I couldn’t pass it up. So like I was saying I finally finished our bedroom and set the tv up last night but to my frustration, only Netflix works. We stream everything here. Netflix, Disney+, ESPN+, Apple TV etc.. I didn’t know what I was doing wrong but apparently this is more common than I thought. I will try to follow your steps and see where I get. Thank you so much V!
I followed your steps Vannessa and I’m proud to say my tv is working like normal. Thank you so much. You’re a peach!
I own this exact model TV, including size, because a more superior 43" TCL with Roku wouldn't fit in my entertainment center by less than an inch, it replaced an older (2015 model) 32" 1080p VIZIO which has the Yahoo app platform. Yet there was a major issue at the beginning & their tech support could not tell me how to make my Roku Ultra or 4K Fire Stick run at 60Hz (Full UHD Color). The techs (two calls of over an hour on hold) told me that 60Hz 'doesn't matter' or 'wasn't important'. This opinion is subjective, I suppose if watching only Hollywood movies shot at 24FPS (30Hz), it's OK. A sporting event and/or using for gaming is a whole different story. This is an issue which should had been covered in this video, it's a simple fix, once learned.
After two months, found the answer on Reddit, one has to select the port, then change the setting. Why not make this choice shown in the manual or on screen video setup guide? Oh, and the advertising was misleading, it's NOT a true 4K HDR TV on all of the ports, one must choose between having HDMI ARC (version 2.0) on that port, as the top port cannot run whatever device at 4K settings, being HDMI 1.4. Nor would swapping the HDMI 2.0 soundbar on the top (1.4) port work. Therefore, some type of switch or whatever is needed, unless simply using the HDMI ARC port for a HDMI 2.0 device & run the soundbar through the TOSLINK port. Many audio experts says to use HDMI ARC over TOSLINK, although there'll likely be little difference with this TV. (IF the TOSLINK port is truly capable of 5.1 sound). Save the HDMI 1.4 port for a legacy device, such as an HDMI 1.4 Blu-Ray player (mine 'upscales' to 4K). On the other hand, some experts says ALL components has to be HDMI 2.0 or will run at the speed of weakest link in the chain.....so don't know. It's a shame this can be called a true 4K HDR TV with a 1.4 port installed, likely to upsell to a more expensive model. I'm looking to see what class action suits are there for this model, got one for the 2015 VIZIO recently (had to do with advertising cookies). This would (seem to) be more serious. If I were to plug in my 2015 Sony Blu-Ray player in & my 4K Roku & Fire TV downgrades to 1080p (or HDMI 2.0 soundbar doesn't run on the ARC port), it is a potential fraud.
Bottom line, yes this is an improvement over my older VIZIO TV, yet it's lack of all HDMI 2.0 ports are a major con when two other TV devices are plugged in & want to run a soundbar such as the Yamaha YAS-108 over HDMI ARC. Still, the TV is worth it's price, many more apps & features for less than paid for the 2015 1080p model, the Pluto TV (WatchFree) app built in, one can sign into their Disney Plus & other subscription services, as well as any provided by major cable TV providers (such as the Spectrum app). This costs less than full blown cable, yet there's also some lag (not the fault of the TV) & of course, no DVR. So don't expect a cable provider's app to perform like that of a digital box, oddly have to allow the app to run constant for 24-48 hours when first installed.
VIZIO should had made it far more easier to set the ports to Full UHD Color. For most other brands, once one port is set, the rest are. This will likely be my last purchase of a VIZIO TV, due to not being a 100% HDR TV (can't have it on the 1.4 port). My guess would be that their more costly models (even the next level up at $100 more) has all HDMI 2.0 ports.
My final rating of TV, 3 out of 5 stars, a full one being docked due to 'Full UHD Color' being greyed out w/out any instruction on how to fix (I & many others thought the TV was neutered). It's a big deal when using a 4K Roku, Apple TV, 4K Fire Stick, NVIDIA Shield & others which needs these ports to be unlocked. The ARC feature should had been on the HDMI 1.4 port, as it is on my 2015 VIZIO, one of it's two ports are for ARC & know it's not HDMI 2.0. One will have to add some type of switching device to install on the middle HDMI port to have multiple 4K devices, just make sure it's 4K @ 60Hz, not all are created equal. There ARE better smart TV's in the price range ($225-300).
Excellent review, thank you
Does the external antenna socket work when an external antenna is connected?
You mentioned when using sound bar system to use Dolby but Bizet sound bar said pcm was better than Dolby on this tv?
Also do you use Demi and optical on Vizio sound bar 5.0 or only dcmi some tracks I watched said optical is the best , where do I go to find out ?
Please I want download apps how
Wonder if this would make a decent monitor?
Having lived with this tv for some time I must point out that the speakers are sub-par at best. The apps fall short and cannot be added to. For instance you may want motortrend or some other app, too bad.
Also, the guide is not really. You cannot look to see what is coming on, only what IS on. O would like to know what the next movie is that will follow what is currently on. The phone app allows this function and it's free. The tv is hundreds of dollars and you cannot see what's next.
However, overall I feel like it's the best bang for the buck and the picture is great.
Can you tell me how far apart are the legs on the tv; i.e, what is the total dimension of the legs? I need to know if it will fit on my tv stand. Thank you,
Witch one are you planning to get
I just wanted to say thank you for explaining the Chromecast aspect of the Vizio 4K 60 inch Smart TV because I've never used Chromecast before or smart cast I've always use Roku so thank you for explaining that the smartcast stuff is free and I like the idea that the smart TV almost works like a HD cable box from a cable company thank you for explaining that to me but I also need to know what are the best settings to use on my TV for a PS4 Slim
Would this be good for a ps5
Where can I find my antenna signal Bars on my Vizio 50" V series TV
How is the tv when looking from a side view .... Thanks
Very good
I bought this exactly two years ago and now the screen only shows rainbow of colors. It's screwed up. Light use only.
How do you know if your TV has 4K when you lost your manual
What's the length between the two display pegs?
I'm putting it on a dresser
I’m not to Davy but would this be better or a jvc for bounty im al and program, we have I phones if that would make a difference
I just got this tv and I get a weird green screen and weird fuzzy screen like static from an old crt tv. Is my TV defective or I missing something. It’s the V series 40 inch 4K UHD
Hello,
I have a question please, do I need to buy amazon fire tv stick to use my amazon account on this tv?
Thanks..
Tkg Lemper No
Tkg Lemper You can use the Amazon App to watch Amazon Prime
@@AlphaMaleYT This is correct!👍 But if one wants to add more apps, it would be good to get a $50 4K Fire TV, the best times to buy are on Amazon Day, Black Friday and other Amazon sale days. Both of mine were $24.99 aech & supports Dolby Atmos. Just add only what's needed, as it has only 8GB storage & some needed for it's OS.
Good to know. Bought the 50inch
@WecTor
It was 295.00 at Walmart. 50 inch

How do you put hr10 4k on your Vizio tv
Can you access internet browsing?
Just wanna know how to set up clock method....help?
My Vizio 70 class v series 4k uhd tv has 3 HDMI 2.1 inputs . Why doesn't yours .
This runs android ? Can I download the downloader app to download 3rd party apps?
Does this the only come with one cable , and that cable can’t even plug it from the back of the tv ?
Can you connect to Xfinity hotspots?
Can you hook up a fire stick and if you can should it be the 4K version
Yes

There's a terrible vibration on my speakers on the TV itself. So bad they almost sound like they have a puncture or muffle over them. Any ideas?
I have that same model of TV, and for some time I thought about wanting to install it on the wall, but that's my question, does it have the capacity to put it or is there some kind of support so that it can be put on the wall?
It is wall mountable by way of the tv wall mount
GREAT Video!! One question. Can you download a GOOD selection of additional apps? My current Vizio will not let you download apps, you must be happy with the ones that come installed
Vizio sucks I have a way better version than this tv called the P series and it cost me $750 plus tax etc .. great tv picture quality it’s super good and refresh is great a true 120 hz but the apps suck they are built in can’t add any and the remote I have sucks too doesn’t have built in Alexa and other things like some way less cheaper TVs have .. but if you don’t care about things like that then I’d say go get a Vizio but a high quality one .. like a M quantum series or P , P quantum X series .
No, but you have built in chrome cast.
It has chromecast & if you want other apps you can't get on your phone I've heard some use a firestick for a certain few apps ,but I just got me a 55" v series tonight
Can you make a video displaying the best custom settings for gaming n for regular purposes, the presets are not good
I agree. The picture is too dark I feel. Great TV but very dark. Even on vivid
I just got a 65in version of this TV for $380 05/22/2020 did some research and found it to be a good price.
Where did you purchase for that price?
I just got a 58 inch version of this for $298!
@@evettej7388 I didn’t know they made a 55 inch! I just bought the 50 inch
@@cynthiajfannin7986 .. I actually meant a 58 inch! Lol
I just bought a 43in version for $280
I have this, did some research on it. Says it outputs 120hz 4K and HDR.
Yet mine just puts out 4k, at 60hz with no HDR.
I have it hooked up to a Xbox1S. Which does 4K HDR at 120hz.
I have it going through a Onkyo receiver which also does HDR/Dolby Atmos.
Am I missing something
Biosynthnut ur stupid the xbox one s does 4K at 60 hz with hdr
Did you go to settings then input then HDMI 1and turn UHD on. Make sure xbox is connected to HDMI 1. I had this problem and my ps4 was saying my tv doesnt support hdr til i did the above. Not sure why Vizio decides to have UHD turned off by default
How well does it perform with screen sharing? I’m looking to purchase a tv to screen share with my peloton
Pretty good man , I’ve only used it a few times.
WARNING: Bought it today 65", taking it back tomorrow! This TV does not have playstore. If you're interested in any other apps besides what's listed on the box, you're pretty much stuck. The only alternative is to add roku or a firestick, but then why even purchase a smart TV? Remote is not smart either, be prepared to type via remote for movies etc. Nice TV, great picture, that's about it. 🙂
Well what did you expect? It’s not gonna be Samsung/LG quality especially for the price.
I have a 65 V series and an LG 4k player but I can't see any 4k movies only hear em idk what to do.
Does it have TH-cam
Miss Renee yes it has TH-cam
Oh wow i just bought one after finding out it's 120hz native and has low input lag
Kai Fulci What you mean 120 hz?
It's capable of displaying 120 frames per second at 1080p which is great for gaming. At 4k it can only do 30hz unless you overclock it then it can do 44hz. But i don't game at 4k anyways.
@Chiron Keller I think in this price range it's hard to beat this tv. The low latency game mode and 120 frames per second at 1080p is great for gaming. It having HDR and 4k is just a bonus to me but at 4k it can only do 30 frames per second which if you wanted to game at 4k would not be acceptable. But 30fps 4k is perfect for just watching youtube/movies on.
@Chiron Keller Oh well yea. You could probably get a 1080p 60fps tv for dirt cheap.
Kai Fulci Most games run at 4K with 30 Fps on the Xbox one X anyways
If I have a ps4 and replace the regular HDMI cable for a 4K HDMI cable, would I be able to see my game on 4K on the tv ? Or the actual appliance has to be 4K ? Does that even exist ? Like a 4K DVD player ? Because my PS4 is not 4K . I don’t think there is a 4K PS4 .
Everything has to be 4K capable.
All About Home Electronics.com so does the PS4 have to be a 4K PS4 or just the hdmi cable
@@johndillinger3988 Everything, which means the TV, PS4, and cable MUST be 4k compatible. But I know PS4s are 1080P compatible so you can use 1080P
My v405-h19 doesn't have the option "input settings" on the menu! Idk why :(
Does it have 120hz refresh rate?
That’s what the specs show...
Does it come with its own remote? Or is it just the phone app?
Comes with a remote
Is there a secret way I could add more apps to my Vizio tv?
Na all built in that’s the only thing that sucks
Get a fire stick
I have a vizio v series 4k hdr 65 inch. What hdmi 4k cable do you recommend to get great TV quality
an HDMI rated High Speed
Just purchased a Vizio v series 65 in and I’m a little upset because I like the tv but it doesn’t allow u to add apps to the tv it comes with pre installed apps already but I cannot add apps that I want like spectrum for our cable I’m a little disappointed may end up returning going back for a Samsung
This is where a low cost device such as a 4K Fire Stick or Roku at less than $50 comes in, can add more apps, be sure to connect to the middle HDMI port & to unlock Full UHD Color, turn on the TV & move to that device (just don't power it on) & can unlock 4K at 60Hz. Yes, I agree Samsung makes better a better TV!👍
@John M. Yeah, right next to those 'no-name' TV's & they try to make one think they get a 'real' one!😁 When buying a TV, it's just like a computer or vehicle, check out reviews on the Internet. There'll usually be more than one product guide rating for each model, will cover every size range. For the VIZIO V Series, doesn't matter if getting the 40" model or the largest (75"), the components are all the same. There'll still be that one slower HDMI port (1.4, which my 2015 1080p has) that forces one to choose between a HDMI ARC soundbar or two 4K HDR devices (in my case, Roku Ultra & 4K Fire Stick). If used in the HDMI 1.4 port, if forced to run at 1080p, this TV should NOT be labeled as fully 4K compatible, as I've never seen a recent 4K HDR TV with a backwards compatibility port. Really it's not necessary, because if the device runs at only 1080p, that's what it'll run at, unless it 'upscales' to 4K. That port is the Achilles Heel of this TV.
There's other TV's in the same price range which are better, one of the TCL Roku models, all of the ports are 4K & Roku Ultra is built in. Meaning a LOT more programming, can add Pluto TV (WatchFree) if desired. WatchFree is a gimmick, can view Pluto via an Internet browser, It's NOT the content of VIZIO. On the other hand, what Roku puts out & they give a LOT at no extra charge, to include 4K programming, at the same price per size. One thing for sure, won't find an HDMI port from 2014 on their TV, it's all HDMI 2.0. And then when calling support to 'unlock' Full UHD Color, they cannot tell one what to do, found out how to on Reddit two months after purchase & it was simple. These must be 'techs' on minimum wage, saying 'it doesn't matter', sure Hollywood movies are shot at 24Hz (30Hz setting on TV), yet sports are best watched at 60Hz or faster. And they say it doesn't matter we don't get what we pay for? Screw this crap & brand! They make nothing themselves, source all components from the lowest bidder, assemble & call it their own.
This will be the LAST VIZIO TV I'll ever buy, not so much as a gift to someone in need, will spend the extra $10-25 elsewhere.😅
Is this one better for gaming I have a Samsung but eh
Any have trouble getting wifi connectivity? Just got the 40" model and the tv had trouble loading up the smart cast
May want to ensure the TV is updated there's a newer version of SmartCast released, plus firmware. No issues with wi-fi for me, but the router is in the room right behind it, connected to the 5.0GHz band. May need to move the router (or the TV), adjust the antennas on router (if any) or add a wi-fi repeater if far away. It's best to have a minimum of an AC-1200 router for optimal results, these can be found new on eBay for less than $75, or at a Goodwill/Hospice store for $25 used. Running on the 5.0GHz band means less interference.
The wi-fi is great on the TV, as well as SmartCast. Had they not included that Flintstone era HDMI 1.4 port & provided clear instructions out of the box on how to enable 'Full UHD Color' on the HDMI ports, I'd had ranked this TV a lot higher. As stated above, will be my last VIZIO TV, and recommend to all who has issues if within the return period to return to retailer for a refund & get a better TV for about the same price (TCL with Roku Ultra built in).
Late reply but turn off DHCP in the manual network settings
I'm thinking about getting this a 65'', just $470 at the moment.
Get a better quality TV for that price
Anyone know what brand the hdmi cable that they have is by? That one looks pretty good and its not easy to find one that are that good
I cannot get past "WPA pass phraase" What is it? Im trying to set up this V series model v405.
