Vizio Reviews

Purchased a 50" smart TV back in May 19 2024 and here in Dec 2025 just 7 months past the one year mark it messes up and Vizio refuses to replace it or refund it. I get it they only offer a one year warranty but it's only 7 months I would understand if it was 2 years or more and it messed up but 7 months is insane. I was planning on purchasing another Vizio with the refund but now that I know the brand (in my opinion) is trash because if it only lasted a few months after the warranty expiration date then, I'm sure they all may be the same and I'm not willing to lose my money again. They didn't offer a rebate or anything.. It's bad customer service in my opinion...I'll stick to a different brand from here forward.

Do not buy! The TV I bought didn’t last 3 months. They sent a tech to repair my tv and he couldn’t fix it. Bad screen. So then had to wait over a month to receive a refund then only refunded part of the price. No tax. Only the retail price. I have owned 3 Vizio’s but will "never own another".

Your company is shit. My TV won’t turn on when I press the on button. Batteries are good and your TV is a piece of shit. It wants to work when it wants to work. That’s a shitty TV. Should not be bought. Should be taking off the market. Gonna call the Better Business Bureau on you guys. Gonna go from a rating to the lowest. Close your business down.

Vizio recently updated their volume screen icon from a long bar at the bottom to a ugly circle/dot in the upper right corner that is extremely hard to see. My senior/hard of seeing mother cannot read this stupid thing now and now has to ask me multiple times a day to confirm what the number is. There is NO WAY of changing this except to "blow up" the entire screen bigger which disables your ability to see the menu mostly. (It's cut off by about 75% so you have to shrink the screen back blind in order to do ANYTHING.) I don't care if you guys keep the darn circle but give people options here. It's not a fancy new icon or anything. Just lazy. It might seem like a tiny issue to you but again...GIVE PEOPLE OPTIONS!! Fix this please...

Was great TV until it updated, now I have to restart multiple times to get antenna TV to work. Some days I want to throw it in the garbage!!! Will never buy another Vizio. Especially after reading other reviews.

I bought a 50” tv. It worked for 1 year and then blacked out. It’s so new I still have the box. Controller stopped working after 3 months. (Bought an aftermarket universal controller) after speaking to Vizio customer service. I will never buy a Vizio product again in my lifetime. I speak for me and my entire family. 0 stars

Purchased TV November 2024…had nothing but trouble from the get go. TV would randomly shut off, not turn back on for long periods of time. Tried to return to store they refused and said we had to contact manufacturer. Upon every contact “trouble shooting” is all they offered. Never worked. Was told today past 1 year warranty and they couldn’t do anything. You think with all the bad reviews they would care more about their consumers. DO NOT PURCHASE! We are throwing 750.00 down the drain!

Horrible tv. Randomly didn’t work without warning or damage. I bought the tv brand new. It worked the first time I plugged it in. After the first the on light just blinked for 20 seconds and the tv turned off. It simply does not work. Buy a Roku. DO NOT BUY A VIZIO TV, SAVE YOUR MONEY.

Dog slow, poor picture quality, and they want all your personal information and life history so they can spy on you and target you with ads. Can't use with any real functionality without an account. Don't waste your money.

I bought a Vizio 55” smart tv. The price was very good for the features provided. My biggest frustration is the Vizio remote control does not control the sound. If I get a phone call, I have to enter my PIN to my phone, bring up the app and mute or reduce the sound. This takes time while my caller is waiting. Everyone does not have a sound bar. This is a poor design feature. I may have to purchase a universal remote. Should not be necessary.

I’ve had this TV for two years and really haven’t used it all that much. Sometimes when I have turned it on, it has trouble connecting back up to the Wi-Fi. Not a big deal. However, now this two-year-old TV that has had light usage will not turn on. It’s such a common bug, that it’s remarkable they have addressed the issue and fixed it. Basically, the trait of a company that sells absolute junk. I hit the power button or the power button on the remote. I get a white light flashing in the lower right corner, but just a black screen…the TV never turns back on. There are a multitude of suggested fixes to solve the problem with this TV, but I’ve tried them several times and none of them work. I think this is a garbage company. I think they make garbage products and I suggest that you stay away from them.

I wish I could give negative stars. This Vizio 40 inch TV is trash! It was a nice budget friendly option so I guess you get what you pay for. I have had this TV less than 3 weeks, it buffers constantly. It constantly freezes while streaming, the TV freezes often even on local channels. I have had to unplug to restart 8 times so far. You have to be directly in front of it for the remote to work, but even then the remote appears to be on a delay. I actually used to like Vizio years ago but evidently they are now mass producing garbage. Don't waste your time or money. Very disappointed!

Wish I had my Roku back! NEVER AGAIN will I buy a VIZIO TV. You have to go through like 40 steps to set up the TV. Sign over your entire life, so you can turn TV on! Then it freezes and has limited apps! TRUST ME, DON'T BUY!

This used to be a great brand. I had one a few years ago, so I bought 2 more when I relocated to another state. However these new ones have been nothing but frustratingly unreliable. I spend more time restarting them than I do watching them. I have had them both for less than a year and I am now buying new TVs of a different brand and taking a hammer to the Vizios. They are so glitchy, I end up streaming movies on my laptop because trying to get the TV to work is just too frustrating. Companies should not be allowed to sell products that are manufactured this poorly.

Wasted my money on 2 Vizio tvs, constant wifi connection issues on both tvs, no connection issues on all my other devices that I use the wifi for. Even had my internet provider come and check my wifi, everything on my wifi is working great, technician told me to trash the vizios. Nothing but trash. Don't waste your time or money on vizio tvs!!!

This is the worst purchase I have ever made! The TV randomly just turns off, cannot connect to the internet. Seems like it needs to be unplugged for 30 seconds every other day. Super frustrated! I will never buy this TV again!!

I was a loyal Vizio TV buyer, but no more, the last 2 I bought didn't last a year. They honored the warranty on the first one that went bad, won't honor warranty on the 2nd one that went bad. I have 3 other Vizio TVs in my home that are much older and never had issues. Now they are trying to send me a refurbished TV with no warranty and want my credit card to hold till I ship back my broken TV so they can swindle someone else with that one. Beware of Vizio flat screens, they don't last anymore. I will never buy another one.

We purchased a Philips smart tv and after about 2 years it just wouldn’t turn on. It was still under warranty and customer service told us we could pick a new tv. The options were Vizio, and two other brands I hadn’t even heard of so we went with Vizio. So far our experience hasn’t been great with this tv. I wish we could have just gotten another Philips, since that was the brand we purchased. The color on this tv never looks right no matter how often we mess with the settings. Same with the brightness. It’s just not a great picture. Sometimes it turns on by itself. The other day about 6 inches around the entire picture went black.

Purchased a new Vizio TV as that is the brand we had good luck with before. Unfortunately, the set up was challenging and the online support was of no help. We ended up talking to a support person directly which was a nightmare. Could only understand every 10th word he said, was very pushy to insist we purchase an additional plan we didn't want and ended up hanging up with no resolution to our start up issue. Turns out the new TV fresh out of the box was defective. Returned the TV and went elsewhere and purchased a different brand TV. Their terrible customer service and lack of technical support was extremely disappointing.

Purchased a 55 inch Vizio tv. The box contained no remote. Customer service assured me a remote would be shipped to me. Been waiting a month only to be told today they can give me the model number of remote so I'll know which one to purchase. Disappointed they wanted to sell me a remote instead of providing one that should have been included. The picture was ok (at best), but since they can't provide what I already purchased, it wasn't that good. Was not worth the money. Will never buy another product from this company. Color wasn't as bright as previous tv's.

This is the 4th Vizio TV I have purchased. I got a 43” TV at Walmart for only $148. After bringing home and setting up there was a phone number to call to activate. I could not understand the first person I talked to because of very poor English. I called back a second time and the English was still poor. I attempted to continue and was advised of a $79 or $129 activation fee. I was shocked at the outrageous fee as I’m 78 yrs old and on limited income. Not wishing to repackage and return I paid the outrageous fee but it wasn’t $129, now it was $140. Another outrageous additional fee. Nowhere on the TV box was it stated I had to pay an activation fee and I feel it’s totally wrong!!!!

Vizio gets a less than one star review. I bought 3 vizio tvs at the same time. Now they are older. All were functioning until one stopped working a couple years ago because some apps and/or platforms that vizio accessed were no longer supported. Not my fault but vizio no compensation to customers for that. Now my nbr 2 vizio tv has been virtually turned into an analog tv because the limited apps that were pre downloaded onto the tv are no longer accessible through the tv because of some arrangement vizio has/had with yahoo. Now Yahoo does not support the pre downloaded apps on my 60 inch tv (and prob my other older tv) so customers are not able to access any streaming apps at all. I was told to get some kind of exterior access to apps..Roku..Firestick..

Do not buy this brand of TV. Vizio decided not to support any apps so now I have to go buy another TV. It’s a smart TV that won’t allow me to do anything… It won’t support YouTube, Netflix or other apps. The screen is blank. Now I am forced to buy another TV. It won’t be Vizio! Not happy!

I am more than disgusted that I bought a TV less than a year ago. The tv randomly stopped working. I called Vizio because it was under manufactures warranty they had me do multiple things and then said, "No we don’t fix it but we will refund you for the TV." I have waited a month, called to check in refund and they tell me they are going to send someone to repair it. Why would you wait and wait and now want to do so. I am waiting on refund, they say they tried to call. No letter, no nothing.

Purchased a Vizio tv from Sam’s club and returned same day, now it will take 45 to 90 days to delete my account information through the privacy team, 3 phone calls with no results. Worst TV experience ever!!!!

Just purchased this tv from Walmart. It will not set up or connect to wifi. Initially it did connect, went through uploading content then stopped and refused to connect to wifi. Stayed on the screen pictured for hours. I called Vizio support and went through restarting and clearing the memory and nothing. Still stuck on this screen. They said it's covered by warranty and they would send a technician to repair the brand new tv I just purchased in 5-7 days! What a joke 😃 um... no. Taking it back to Walmart. Don't buy vizio.

I'm hoping that manufacturer of VIZIO Smart TVs reads this. Customer Support has been awesome. We've texted back and forth trying to resolve issue with TV. I thought for sure we could resolve the problem. But, no. The TV will stop and start cycling or buffering whatever in middle of a program and it doesn't matter what app is being used. Internet signal is excellent.

Being that Vizio is an American company I bought their TV's. I hate them now! It all started when I would come home and turn on the tv and I didn't have any air channels. Thought that it was my antenna. Messed around with the antenna and tv started working. It did this several times and I thought that it was the antenna. Got a new antenna. It still did it. Long story short, I was because my internet was not working sometimes. It seems that the tv updated it self and now has to have the internet to view local air channels. It had put the local channels under their watch free web based software. Factory reset the tv and worked fine. A few days later, back to the same problem.

Bought a Vizio for elderly parents. First con is the Vizio remote is very difficult for anyone over 40 to use. There are no arrows on it, just a big black circle that indicates nothing. I had to reset their input because it keeps reverting back to default mode which was streaming movies; they wanted it set to their DISH LIVE TV. There are too many submenus too. My parents can not maneuver thru this tv. They could on their Smart Samsung. Gave 2 stars for picture quality. Going to return it and get them a Samsung.

I bought a Vizio tv for my daughters room (she is almost 2) we pay for YouTube premium for the sound machine sounds. I hate this tv with a passion. It logs me out almost daily wanting you to get an app…. It’s exhausting. We use Hisense tvs because they are simple but got a Vizio in a pinch. When we are logged out we have to put all our our app info in every single time. Lucky we just use the one app but if it was our primary tv I would have thrown it through the bag window by now. I did break down and get the app. Now I can’t get the icon at the top to go away even after stopping the application.

Can’t stream Live TV anymore. Was told by Vizio tech support that my brand new TV was “not compatible with my network.” Soooo, you can’t stream Live TV on Xfinity?? We tried, and returned, 3 TVs from Sam’s.

We bought a Vizio 65 inch TV that keeps locking up. After dealing with Vizio they sent out a replacement. This TV is no better than the first one. We bought it at Walmart and it's not worth owning! You have to unplug the TV from the wall, it becomes totally unresponsive! Beyond frustrating!

Tv lasted about 5 uses when I went through customer service. Every question seemed to be about getting my bank information. I stopped short of giving my ss number or mother's maiden name but I was asked to provide a major credit card for them to charge in order to send me a replacement. Be very careful about what is on the receipts you upload or what info you give to their agents over the phone.

I used to swear by Vizio TV’s. Now I swear at them. Bought a new 65” Vizio TV. Out of the box I was disturbed by how hard the legs were to attach. I guess Vizio has not heard that holes can already have the screw threads in them. Trying to use the onscreen setup was no better. You have to finish setup on the internet and I eventually had to get on my computer to complete the setup. I won’t buy another Vizio TV. I may return this one.

Had the 55inch tv less than 6 months, constantly disconnecting from my WiFi, out of 17 total devices in the house, with WiFi only devices, this was the only device that had issues. I say that because, when contacting support, they will immediately blame your internet connection. Troubleshooting, per Vizio, was factory resets and unplugging each time the disconnection took place, which happened multiple times each day. After 6 months and having contacted them 4 different times, here we are.

Had this tv for 2 months. The entire time it has been slow and honestly incapable of playing movies and shows. Online troubleshooting suggests internet issues, however when I turn the volume up or down on the tv the show or movie has to buffer. Trash tv. I regret buying this piece of garbage.

Purchased my 50 inch 4/2024. 7/2025 I have no audio. Technician replaced the main circuit board. Still no sound. Unit is still under warranty and you want to charge me 200 bucks for a replacement. I'm very disappointed with the outcome.

Purchased a Vizio smart tv 8/2024 from Walmart. Fast forward July/2025. Tv screen flashed colors then went black, no video, audio nothing. After numerous calls to Vizio, they pushed me to Walmart for a receipt which I no longer have (understandable). I paid CASH, there is no record. Vizio assured me Walmart would be able to help. Walmart denies the ability to help whatsoever. I exchanged all the info Vizio ask for, serial number, model, all other photos they requested. Got nothing but run around. My last Vizio TV lasted 10 years. How disappointing this is.

I did not know that a TV could have only specific apps that it would allow. There are certain Christian apps I would like on my TV but I can't get them on this Vizio. For instance, it has in apps that I could get Angel Studios. But it will not download. I called Vizio and they told me they did not have that app. The only apps I can get are the ones they have in their system. I definitely don't want to pay for the ones they offer. I do not want Netflix or Disney! Their content is not my type of thing. I am so disappointed. If I had the money I would just give this tv away and gets another one. It should be illegal that you can only get certain apps. I should be able to get any app I want! I paid for the tv. Don't buy this tv! Also it tends to have little hiccups and blinks. Then I have to turn it off and on again. I have not had this tv two years.

I bought a 75 inch Vizio TV a month ago. It comes with preinstalled apps, such as YouTube, Netflix, Prime and others. The YouTube app does not work properly as every 30 to 45 seconds it will lag or stutter. I spent over four hours several different times speaking with technical support and the main result came down to that. I have to buy an external streaming device stick in order to watch YouTube TV. With preinstalled apps on their TVs, they cannot be uninstalled. YouTube wanted me to uninstall the app, but that is impossible. Very frustrating. I would not recommend this TV.

Stop making people download an app to watch tv; it is unnecessary and greedy, greedy behavior. Spiritually fat. God does not smile on Vizio. Shame on you for stealing data. Shame on you. Will never buy a vizio again as long as I live and I will tell others not to either.

Tv worked great for a few months summer 2024, but then Vizio pushed new operating software to the TV that integrates the antenna stations into an Internet app. That might be OK if you live in on near a large metropolitan area, but if you are rural like me, you will not be able to have Internet fed programming and antenna at the same time. Supposed to be a smart TV…. Ends up not being smart at all. Vizio changed out the circuit board on the first TV, then swapped out my TV twice with refurbished or new TV’s with the same result each time. They ended up calling it an environmental issue and I just had to live with it. So bought an Amazon Firestick to be able to watch internet programming and antenna stations. Advise, don’t buy Vizio unless you know someone in your vicinity that doesn’t have issues.

0 stars should be a choice. Every time it upgrades something stops working, sound, channels settings. This happens weekly. Do not purchase this brand. Their customer service doesn't help and you can't understand their people.

We purchased a new camper and it came with a VIZIO smart TV. This is possibly the WORST TV I have ever had. When we don't turn it on for a day or two we need to unplug it and plug it back in sometimes two or three times before it will power up. Then we are camping for a weekend and when I turn it on the next day VIZIO is on the screen and it sits like that until once again it's unplugged and plugged in again. If you have a choice, DO NOT select a VIZIO smart TV. Opt for the old black and white tube TV as that is much more reliable.

This is the worst tv ever. Buy something else. Disconnects from the internet. Remotes do not have all the buttons needed to connect to your internet. Online help is useless. I have 2 TVs and I just assume throw them in the trash.

I think Vizio tvs suck. Have had 2- 55" smart tvs and both have gone out within 2 to 3 years. Has been backlights in them. Yes could be repaired, but you could buy another one for what it cost to repair. Never again

I’ve owned a Vizio TV for quite some years and not had a whole lot of issues. September of last year we bought a Vizio 75 inch TV. I contacted support multiple times regarding my issues with it not connecting to the Internet. On the second phone call I was told if I contacted them again they would replace my TV at no frustration to me. The third time I contacted them they told me they were going to send an agent out to my house to replace the motherboard and then they canceled that request without notifying me. The next time I contacted them, today, they told me they would be sending out an agent to install a refurbished TV. I purchased a new TV and I’m getting a refurbished TV to replace the defective product that I have. I will not purchase a Vizio TV again. While support was great, The fact that they are replacing a defective product with another defective product does not please me so I will not be purchasing another.

They don't have as many apps as Fire tv. As a matter of fact they don't have Directv stream so how can I watch this cable on this tv -- I can't. Very disappointed how hard is it to add apps -- I will tell everyone to check the apps before you buy this tv-- it's cheap but damn I need to be useful.

I have never had so many issues with a TV and soundbar. The antenna was not getting a good signal so the TV decided to freeze one day requiring a factory reset. Any time it matters, the soundbar acts up. The Superbowl is on? Better stop functioning. You just watched something, turned the system off, and are turning it back on to watch something else? Better disable the soundbar, forcing a factory reset to get it functioning again. You want to watch a movie before bed? Soundbar is disabled, however the subwoofer is cranked to maximum volume. The volume control does nothing. The remote turns up the TV speaker volume instead of the soundbar despite being directly connected through ARC. I've factory reset both of these POSs multiple times. I will never buy another Vizio product in my life. I will pay for anyone that knows me to throw away their Vizio product and cover the cost of absolutely any other brand.

Vizio 75" Smart TV. Nothing but issues with it from day one. Won't connect to the takes multiple restarts, factory resets to get it to connect. Remote stops working. Enter does nothing, right click will not work. Bought a new remote from Vizio, same thing. Today they send out a Tech who changed the NIC and the Motherboard. Now the TV won't go past create Vizio Account, which I already have and the TV is registered to. Absolutely the WORST TV I have ever owned. At this point I am ready to take them to small claims court.

I purchased a 32in TV from Walmart. The very next day it stopped working. No picture or sound just vertical lines. One day. Unbelievable. Not going to purchase another Vizio again. Customer Service was of no help and kept me on the phone forever.

Don’t waste your money on this sub-par company or their sub-par products!!! I am an ashamed owner of the Vizio SB2920 soundbar. It has been just as disappointing as my first marriage! “Learn from my pain!”

It's crap. It doesn't turn, it connect every other 4th day. I'm lucky if it ever does. I turn it on, but then it freezes or can't connect. Horrible. I turn my power on & off and both works. So disappointed.

The absolute Worst tv guide ever. I've owned 3 Vizios, I will never purchase another. Guide seems to constantly change. It is counter intuitive. It doesn't open to the same channel that it was closed in. Can't eliminate unwanted content. THE WORST.

Had to turn my smart TVs into a dumb TVs. Vizio decided to force its customers to use their WatchFree app just to use their own antennas. Point and click to change channels disappeared with this change. I have no idea thought point, click, and change a channel was a bad idea... but they obviously don't use an OTA antenna. You now have to use the Program Guide in the Watch Free app. The only work around is to completely disconnect the TVs from any type of internet connect and do a factory reset. This is the most important part, NEVER reconnect the TV to the internet or it will just update it's self. This makes the built-in apps useless.

Settings revert back each time you turn it off. You can't watch anything in peace, it always asks are you still watching. Yes I followed the instructions I found online. They work until you turn it off and they go back. Now it changes channels for me in the middle of what I am watching without warning. Lines in picture. Sometimes it won't turn on at all. Bought 3 of them for new house. What a waste of money!

Vizio 43 inch. No Ethernet connection! WiFi receiver is weak! Totally waste of money if you want reliable signal! Customer service is a joke! They took out the Ethernet connection to save 50cents per device.

I purchased a 65-inch Vizio 4 months ago. My Xfinity connection continues to drop connection after I go to another app, causing me to have to go unplug and replug the USB. It also does it with Firestick.

I purchased a Vizio 32inch tv on Saturday 5/3/2025. On Sunday 5/4/2025 I proceeded to setup my tv, unfortunately it was not a pleasant or efficient process. Never could get the “feet” to seat properly, made 2 calls for tech support, 1st call got “dropped”. 2nd call said they would send out new feet and screws! Would take 7 to 10 days! I actually went to the local hardware store to buy another Phillips head screwdriver because I thought mine was not doing the job. That made no difference.

Purchased a brand-new 65” model from Walmart. Two months later it won’t turn on. It will take 3-4 weeks to schedule and perform the repair service. That’s a ridiculously long time for what should just be an exchange for a new tv. Whenever I tried to call and schedule service the line would be disconnected due to high caller volume, which tells me that I’m far from the only Vizio customer with a faulty product

Worst tv ever. Freezes up or just shuts down usually in the middle of a program. I have to unplug it and turn it back on. Volume sucks. Either goes way up or way down. Says I have no internet connection when I do.

Purchased November 2025; January 2025 the TV started resetting to original page, would lock and not change channels, would not power down. Contacted customer service who promised new TV, but now they refuse a new TV and due to their delay tactics, I've missed the store return policy. Poor product and company does not focus on customer satisfaction.

The worst tv I've ever owned, the screen locks up with lines and won't turn off. You have to unplug it and plug it back in for it to start working again. Picture will also freeze and you have to unplug it and start over again. Pure junk and frustrating in the middle of a program.

I hate this tv. The home page does not contain a "continue watching". I'm going to try to use my roku on this tv. It is sooo slow. I am having to learn about hdmi and usb cords to attach the tv to my modem because the service human had no clue. By the end of the conversation, I was very frustrated and you can see in the picture below some of the uselessness of the conversation. No, I wasn't super nice.. not by the end. The picture and sound are mostly fine. I only watch shows or music -no gaming.

Bought 43-inch TV 3 years ago. Had problems from beginning, it just went totally off. Black lines, color bleeding. They have made me, 77 years old and disabled, jump through hoops to get me refund. Told them I could do everything but get picture of SN because TV was now in A box, not the box, and I am unable to do that. I had SN written down and told them verbally what it was, not good enough after 3 pictures of TV, receipt of purchase, and receipt of payment. So I don't get my refund. Disgusting, unethical, no compassion whatsoever for circumstance. Worst TV and CS experience ever. Don't buy this product.

Unfortunately, I chose this brand when I purchased my smart TV in 2020. It had issues from the beginning, weird, random things like the screen freezing and no response to the remote until I unplugged the TV. It would take too long for me to go through all the bizarre issues. It worked the best It ever had in the last 2 years. Now my screen stays black. Customer service was great, but confirmed the TV is done. I am surprised it lasted this long, so I'll be doing more research with my next purchase to see what brand has good reviews.

Just purchased a Vizio 32" smart tv, while hooking it up I was required to set up an account with Google and Comcast in order to use my tv, after a half hour of uploads and downloads, I was instructed to call Vizio to register my tv, and to find out the that I would have to pay $89.00 for a 5 yr plan to use my tv, also give out all kinds of my personal information, email, address, phone, where in the house the tv is used, etc, etc, just to watch a tv. Google is selling your information to China, stay away from Vizio products.

Don't waste your money. Vizio is worst TV I ever bought. I would never ever buy anything Vizio again. When I first bought the TV it was slow. It didn't really do anything. Then I thought they fixed it but now it just scrolls Non-Stop, turns itself on and off, opens and closes apps on its own. Can't factory reset it. Tried that. Didn't fix the problem. I will never buy this crappy brand again.

These tvs are awful just AWFUL! They are wifi operated, will keep a connection and no it is not my wifi. Freeze ALLTHE TIME! The sound will not stay matched up to the tv after a couple of hours on it. To place a review was hell and high water. Very disappointed. Please do not NOT get these tvs. They are money a racket.

My mother bought a 62” TV six weeks ago. Totally dead. Called support, will take weeks to get fixed if at all. Yucky, sorry product! Stay away. I’ve always bought Sony but Mom is on fixed budget and unfortunately this is what she could afford. Next time we are going to the pawn shop.

TV has good picture and only average sound. All the technical difficulties are overwhelming. Spend more time rebooting the system than I do watching programs. Finally had enough and threw away. Will never buy one again.

So to start with, it has a great picture. When originally purchased it was perfect. Along the way updates were made to a program installed called WatchFree. A prior TV had the same but older version. Then Vizio updated our TV and Watchfree. The antenna channels were incorporated into the program making them more difficult to access. Promoting more use of other programs. Spoke with customer service to reverse to easier access for local channels. Not possible, told I'll get used to it. Constant updates and changes means readjust how the TV is used. I'd really like to own my own TV and not make any changes to an otherwise normal menu. I'll never purchase another Vizio product or unit. I can't control updates such as SunBrite.

TV burned out and died in less than 2 years. Power LED Flashes some error code and the unit refuses to turn on. It didn't even make it two years. Power supply failure is apparently common in these tvs. The other option is the full motherboard. Keep your receipts because they claim to offer a 3 year warranty. Either way, you get what you pay for.

I bought a Vizio 50 inch tv in June 2022 and the screen went out on it in February 2025...the sound still plays but no picture...call customer service and they say, "You only have a 1 year manufacturer warranty on the tv...Garbage...Trash...is the tv...the warranty and in my opinion the whole company...regardless of the warranty if I was a multi million dollar establishment such as vizio I would stand behind my product for at least 5 years but they can't afford to do that if they are producing trash...especially a customer like myself that didn't get a full 3 years out of their product...so buyer beware...

Don't waste your money - the only app that works is Netflix - all others crash & burn consistently. The worst TV out there. The picture & price is okay but if you can't watch anything, then why buy this brand unless you have old time cable or something!

I purchased a 55 Inch Vizio Smart TV in September of 2023. I purchased the 4 year extended warranty sold by Walmart. It is an Allstate warranty. The TV constantly was out of sync in the audio. The mouths were moving, but the sound was not in sync. It would do it for hours somedays, or for days, or even a week once. Vizio only helped me over the phone and they were useless. It happened SO much that I called them regularly, but it never went away for good... It always came back!

Model V435M-K04, purchased one year ago, suddenly got very slow. Updated, restarted, unplugged, restarted, nothing fixes it, no way to empty cache, or App caches, nothing wrong with wifi connection. Not enough options in settings to do basic things like empty cache. I won't buy another Vizio.

You guys suck I bought a 65 inch. You guys don’t have no Internet port on the TVs. All it does all day and all night is disconnect from my Internet no matter how many times I restart the TV. I will never buy another TV from you guys again.

Vizio plays political ads blatantly aligning to one side. It's disgusting. Will never buy another Vizio TV again. Stop waking me up with ads. Political or not, it's crazy how many there are. You're worthless technology.

My fiancé and I purchased a TV from Walmart for close to $500. It’s a 55 inch Vizio QLED. We have had to have it replaced twice now and are still having the same problem with the screen. It flickers and has discoloration problems but you can hit the back button and then play again. It will start back normal. Also it shuts itself off for no reason. Every model we’ve had has done the same thing! Never again will we buy a VIZIO!

I enjoyed my Vizios (I have purchased two) for several years. I put up with the poor sound, but a recent update is causing me to reconsider. Upon startup, It takes minutes of watching a spinning orange wheel before the screen loads. I can hear the sound, but no picture. Sometimes I must turn off the TV and start over. With others, update glitches are resolved within a day, but it seems Vizio is just ignoring the issue.

There’s only one button so if you EVER lose your remote control, you’ll have to buy another T V. There’s no other way to turn the volume or channel, I tried everything. Nothing works. Do yourself a favor and buy a brand that has buttons or you’ll never be able to use your Vizio ever again!

The worst TV in the world. After a short period of time about a year or two they push updates to the TV that now makes it run so slow it takes literally about a minute to turn on. Switch a channel it takes about 20 seconds. You sit there and wait as an hourglasses all the time. I've called customer service 3 times. They will sit there and go around and around trying to fix it for about 40 minutes each time only to tell you that they'll talk to upper level technical support then come back on the phone to you to tell you that they're aware of the problem and they will pushing update at some point. That's been about 6 months now.

This is my second Vizio TV in one year. The screen on the first one went black after 4 months. They are difficult to set up and many features in the setup do not work, such as closed captions. Yesterday the TV did an update, and I was required to register Prime and other channels before being able to watch anything - this required inputting codes and passwords. The brand and its programming are intrusive and annoying so one is not buying a TV, they are buying a program and brand.

My family came to the US for Thanksgiving and bought 4 of these TVs to take back to the Bahamas. Only to find out that the TV no longer works outside of the US after June 2024. This is horrible. They should have been told.

We bought our 55-inch on October 23, the screen went completely black and then shut off! Never came back on! After contacting the Vizio warranty people it still has not been resolved or replaced! My husband has called several times, the dates for possible technician keep changing! Will never purchase again!

The customer support was really good, but the repeated calls I had to make suggest that their TVs are really bad. I called to get help with my TV screen constantly just going back no mater what I was watching - Hulu, Netflix, sling - it didn't matter, they all just turned black and took me back to the home screen, almost as if it was losing its network. They had me do everything trying to fix it, even removed batteries out of the remote to troubleshoot only to find out it's something inside the tv. They can see it's new. It's registered I got it 2024 and it's the worst tv I have ever bought but since I didn't keep the receipt I'm stuck with a broken tv (I know. My fault I misplaced it. kicking myself).

I purchased this Vizio smart TV because of the picture quality I've experienced from the past. The only thing I like about this TV is the video quality. The sound is weak and tinny. The apps on it pretty much all have the same shows just a different name. I was sure I could download other apps for shows I love to watch but they have fixed it so you can't. The shows I got for free on a Roku I have to pay to watch on the Google TV. So now I have decided if I ever purchase another TV it will not have Google apps. I'm disappointed that I can't watch the shows I liked. I'm pissed that Vizio will not let me download apps on something I paid good money for. Now I hooked up a Roku box so I can watch all my favorite shows through HDMI. More than one way to skin a cat.

Purchased a Vizio 42" smart TV, model number D32f4-J01. Worked great for just over 2 years, then stopped working. I called Vizio support, did some basic troubleshooting over the phone, and was told it is out of warranty and a service call would cost as much as a replacement TV. I will never buy Vizio again.

This is a widespread issue and I'm giving my feedback and my personal experience. Hold Vizio accountable for making their TV’s unusable. Vizio pushed through an update called Watchfree+ which integrated the “antenna” input on YOUR TV that YOU purchased to include an internet based Watchfree+ service that directly correlates to AD REVENUE. This update has SEVERELY hindered the functionality including: Extraordinary load times when powering up TV, agreeing to Vizio Watchfree+ terms and conditions, “bricking” the software so that you cannot revert to original factory settings without Watchfree+, not giving you a choice to OPT OUT of Watchfree+, unnecessary and torturous user experience.

The worst! Had our Vizio TV for approx 5-6 years, and had some minor issues with the sound bar, and speakers, but we learned to live with it. Then about a week ago we turned the tv on, and had to update the firmware via the remote or SmartCast App, and I did the update with the remote. After the update, it stopped working. The TV would power on, the Vizio symbol came up, and then just the backlight. We called Tech support twice and were told it needed repaired or replaced. And since it was past the manufacturer warranty...we had no recourse. Just very shady that we did their REQUIRED update, and now need a new tv. We will not buy another Vizio.

I purchased a Vizio TV online. When I received it I took it out of the box and set it up. When I turned it on the screen was broke. I contacted Vizio customer service since the TV came from them and they said they will not cover it under the warranty but I’m not letting it slide. They will refund my money or replace it.

Bought a new Vizio TV to replace my old magnavox. The Vizio will constantly buffer while streaming. The internet connection is fine. I had to connect a roku box to my new Vizio. The router box fixed the buffering issue. It no longer freezes up either. My advice is don't buy Vizio.

I have had Vizios for years. Recently they did an update that requires you to have wifi to get over the air local channels. Vizio should be sued for hijacking the Ota channels. I threw my vizio out the door. Sick of the spinning circle and no Pic. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER VIZIO!!!! I suggest you don't either.

Their TV set up process is misleading and takes you to Malicious links who try to exploit your credit card information. Do not scan the q r code that they present to you during setup. This is evil personified. I will never buy another Vizio.

You have to be kidding me. I bought the Vizio 65in tv less than a month ago and this dam thing won't turn on!!! Of course I didn't keep the box and Walmart won't take it back without the original packaging hahaha. Who's going to keep a bid ** tv box. Seriously I feel like I've been duked. This is ridiculous.

Too many problems to mention. At some point a software update occurred that took away my ability to control many features including being able to reset to factory settings. TV has become a frustrating nuisance. Also Video records and disseminates privacy data without the knowledge of most users.

Terrible product. I bought it 2.5 years ago. Power button/doesn’t power on the TV. The tv lasted just long enough for the warranty to run out. Vizio rep was nice but couldn’t help me. Money gone to waste.

Absolute garbage TVs!!!! Their smart TVs are really stupid!!! Long lag just to turn the chanel or to turn on. It's a ridiculous company that has no idea what they're doing. When you buy a TV from Vizio you get a lot of frustration and constant connection failure. I threw my remote at screen after years of dealing with their ridiculous TV they wouldn't take back after several tries. The screen got cracked and I was so happy and satisfied.

The television was o.k. at first. Limited issues. However, after 3 months we noticed the screen had linear discoloration lines. The television was purchased through Amazon so that is who we brought the problem. Of course, we were given the inevitable "run-around/blame game". We were given direction from Amazon that we needed to reach out to Vizio. We sent emails we found online, never received a response from Vizio. About a week later the remote stopped working. We then purchased a "replacement" remote as the app doesn't provide FULL television capabilities. The replacement didn't work either. Another indication that the television is broken! I then recalled that I had set-up a warranty through the "app". I went into the application and found a "Customer Service" phone number.... Unable to find this ANYWHERE online...

I do not have cable. I use my hotspot on iPhone to stream tv and connect laptop to net. Sun 9/29/2024, I was working on my laptop, using hotspot. TV was set on antenna channels and Vizio someway, PUSHED THROUGH a software “UPGRADE” that basically rendered my 2 year old Vizio TV USELESS! I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A VIZIO TV AGAIN!!!! VIZIO intentionally pushed through designed obsolescence and they should be brought up on criminal charges but the fact that they are a China company, the only way the USA could smack their hands would be through trade embargo’s. USA, PLEASE DO NOT LET CHINA IMPORT VIZIO TVs!!!!

If I could give this tv a zero, I’d do it. This is the worst tv ever. Set up hard. Sound quality poor at best. I’ll be watching a show and it flickers then goes back to the Home Screen. This happens every day. I will never buy a Vizio again. My Emerson was great. I went with a Vizio due to financial reasons. My daughter always says, cheaper is not better. Going back to Emerson which is a great product.

The problems -- super slow, my network is there. I put in my passcode -- buffers for a few minutes. Can't find network -- this is a constant issue. I moved the TV into another room - no go there either. I continue to go through the troubleshooting steps. DONE! It didn't have the MLB app either -- I'm sorry I have to use valuable wasteland to put this awful product to rest.

We have had this Vizio for 23 months. The first year it mostly worked fine. Now it does not want to load most of the time, I have to reset my wifi and it says it is connected but the TV won't load. I have done everything that Vizio has suggest to try and solve the problem. I am going out today to buy a new TV and you can bet it will not be a Vizio. Nothing but trouble.

Worst TV ever. From day 1 had problems with it. They came and picked it up and gave us a refurbished one and we have had it for 5 years but it has colored vertical lines running down and screen is not working. TV's should last 7-10 years, this should not be happening.

I have a 42” Vizio that was great until I hooked it up to internet last year. Then it updated and basically bricked antenna tv. My keypad function on the remote no longer works and I can’t change channels because they lumped local channels into their shitty “Watchfree” app. Then when you disconnect from the internet none of it works and you can’t access your local channels unless you flip thru each channel since the keypad won’t work. I reset to factory setting every time I connect to wi-fi. I wish it would just stay as the product it was when I bought it because I am sick of signing in to the apps, I shouldn’t have to sign a disclaimer with Google and Vizio so they can harvest my data as they please to use a tv I bought a decade ago.

If you plan on purchasing a Vizio and take it up to Canada - don't! It won't allow you to create an account so the smart features of the TV are not accessible. I brought up a Samsung and had no problems at all with the setup. I won't buy another Vizio.

I purchased my Vizio 50 inch model V555-jo1 26 months ago. The sound goes off after 20 minutes. Called customer support, they had me do a 15 test where they did a factory reset. The sound came back on for a couple hours and then went off. Called again and we went thru all resets and I was advised by their support team that the problem is within the tv. They suggested I find someone who fixes tv's or buy a new one. I advised them that I would buy a new tv, but it won't be a Vizio.

Sound went out within 3-4 months of purchase. Did the whole reset and called for support and nothing happened. They're sending out a tech. BUT IT BROKE WITHIN 4 MONTHS! It's trash don't buy it! What happens when my warranty expires I'll still be stuck with trash!

My son got me a Vizio smart TV for Christmas. It’s been nothing but problems since the remote control is crap so I had to go buy a new remote control. My TV. I’ll be watching a show. All of a sudden it just shut off and it’s a black screen then it comes back on and it’s black screen, but I can hear people's voices. It’s been nothing but problems, I got it. I liked my old TV and I gave that away because I got a new one. Just be cautious when you buy a Vizio smart TV. I don’t like the menu either. Do research.

Do not buy a Vizio TV. It is not a smart TV. In fact it is far from it. First you will be at the whim of Vizio corporate as to what apps and what version of those apps are on your TV, case in point. It took Vizio 2 years to update the Sling TV app to the latest version available anywhere else. Then they hijacked the antenna input on everyone's TV. Why? Well because Vizio does not make money on the TV they sell. They make money on the advertising they push on you and they could not do that thru the antenna input. It's quite likely that move is in violation of FCC rules and is likely a copyright infringement also.

Roku is SO much better. The flow of their “Home Screen” is horrible and trying to navigate within a show is even worse. HEAVEN FORBID you try and rewind or fast forward or do anything else. I am 100% convinced all the awesome reviews in the Apple App Store are all employees. I cannot fathom that many people being so happy with this system. I will NEVER buy a Vizio TV again. EVER.

I will never buy another Vizio TV. Purchase a 70". It's the newest tv in my house. It's also the first to break. Seems odd it's right outside of warranty window, and seems odd that they can remote access your TV. Either way, pick a different manufacturer. I have tvs that are 13 years old and work fine that I paid half as much for.

Worst experience ever, bought tv 2 months ago, something happens. Manufacturer didn't want to do nothing. Try to call so many time. Nothing. They said, "We don't cover physical damage," when it wasn't. They are not serious.

The worst possible TV brand to own is Vizio. I do not know how they are still in business today with the trash they sell. TV is terrible. Slow and laggy. Doesn’t matter which model you get. They all are the same (Trash). My free government phone runs smooth and faster than these TVs which is horrible and terrible experience for customers. I will be buying a new brand and model TV this week and throwing this one off my balcony.

Do not buy this brand of tv unless you want to deal with software failures, Unremovable ads, input lag, and wifi connectivity problems. I have used many different tv softwares over the years and this one (which I unfortunately own) is hands down the worst in every aspect. Picture quality is poor, software is infuriating and slow, remote does not come with any useful shortcuts and is instead cluttered with distracting buttons that are seemingly Intentionally placed for you to accidentally press to the point I had to cut out several to stop pressing them constantly. Overall just buy any other tv. This company should be investigated and closed by the BBB for their sham products.

Vizio has a glitch, they agreed is an issue that won't allow me to change my input to antenna, when I do it jumps to HDMI 1. I have been calling them every day and some tech support said they are working on the issue and some others say there is a fix but I have to wait until my TV receives it over the Internet which is random. After 2 weeks I still can't watch my TV antenna channels and they are not supportive to try and fix it.

Three years ago we bought a Vizio 65-in tv, it has turned out to be the biggest POS ever created by a TV company, Vizio gives you such a hard time to the point where you just give up when you try to get an issue covered under warranty. It is the biggest piece of junk. Whatever you do do not ever buy a Vizio TV, worst decision I ever made but constantly have to go up, unplug my tv, hold the power button in for a minute and then plug my TV back in at least five or six times a week to get the sound to work and every time it does an update it gets worse with the picture. With the remote we've had so many problems with the remote trying to get them to warranty. It was next to Impossible. You better off just buying a new one universal remote. Just TVs are complete junk.

My personal thoughts: bought a 55 " Vizio TV because I thought it would give better performance and quality. (2nd smart TV purchased, we purchased a 32" TCL for a starter, so easy to screen mirror.) With that being said after purchasing the Vizio, extremely complicated, only wants to run on an internet connection. Bought a Roku Express to mirror with Vizio. Still won't mirror. Have tried everything. Going to put it in spare bedroom. Only work well with internet/Wifi (which I don't have at home). And buy a 65" TCL Roku TV. My rating would be ZERO if I could give it a "0" rating. Wasted my money.

Absolutely trash. OS is slow and dimwitted. Also suffering backlight failure after only 18 months of use. Out of warranty. Customer service won't stand behind their products so I'm out of luck. Do not buy Vizio for any reason.

Absolute junk. Bought a tv a couple days before I registered it on 4/1/22. Went out of town, came back and the TV is not working. The light is blinking, but it won't turn on. No, I did not buy the extended warranty. In fact, I've never had to purchase one for a TV. I guess I should have bought that extended warranty for a P.O.S. TV like Vizio. Customer Support could not help me. Basically, I need to buy another tv. This time I'm going to stick with giants like Samsung and LG. I have those in my house as well and I have never had a problem. Our Samsung was 12 years old before we replaced it. Our new Samsung is 4 years old and it's the best. Our LG is 5 years old, and it is amazing. Lesson learned. Don't buy brands that suck. Buy brands that last.

Anyone that buys a Vizio TV either has to be on some heavy drugs or just plain stupid. I'm watching tv as I type this and the people's mouth are not matching up with them talking. It takes me 10 minutes every day to even get a picture on the tv in the bedroom. People do not I repeat do not buy this hunk of junk tv. You will be soooo sorry.

Vizio TVs are the higher quality TVs on the market. Specifically, their lifespan will outlast others: Always lasting greater than 7yrs. (If they fail in any time under that, it is not due to normal wear and tear)

Worked ok for a couple weeks but was extremely SLOOOOW to respond to any remote request. Called for support and did a complete factory reset while on the phone with support person. Worked for about a day and stopped responding again. Called support again and did another factory reset. The reset didn't last. I called support again and went through a service request to get rid of the tv. I have had the tv forty-one days and now I am being told to give them my credit card and the tv so they can fix this one and send it back to me. I am not giving them my credit card number. Do not waste your money on Vizio. I had a terrible time understanding the language of the support person, from Asia.

I am just Another dissatisfied customer. First time and last in purchasing Vizio products. I bought a Tv about 3 yrs ago...As soon as started using it, the video quality is substandard than other models I have owned. Spent a of time trying to adjust it to no success. With time, the audio started getting worse...I have to take the volume up to 70+ to hear anything. But the worse part is when I switch from different inputs or when I just turn on the tv. It takes almost 2 minutes to see a picture...Screen is totally black.

The Vizio monitors are NOT televisions as they do not have their own channel tuner and can only stream. Vizio has intentionally decided to begin eliminating channels from streaming service, providing the error message “channel currently unavailable”. Customer service will waste more than 30 minutes of your life only to tell you that you must go to Walmart and buy a brand new vizio remote in order to resolve the problem. This is an absolute lie. Vizio is obviously ignoring its own customers and product support in favor of being paid kick backs by Walmart to direct customers to buy unnecessary new products. There is no accountability at vizio.

Never again a Vizio, the quality of the picture to Samsung or LG or Sony sucks... Very low quality. Cheap TV. Vizio starts really slow, it moves at a snail's pace. You can't ever compare Vizio with any of the top brands. No more Vizio for this consumer. The speaker are not loud, picture quality is terrible and their 4K is definitely not 4K that you would be use to from other brands names tv. It takes forever to load and and is slow as can be... This consumer will tell you point blank DO NOT BUY Vizio terrible... VIXIO grade "F-".

Have an old 37" Vizio LCD TV from 2005 and two 22" Vizio LCD TV's that still work great. Picture quality isn't amazing & they only support 720p. For some reason, their older LCD TV's were decent quality & last for a long time. However, after upgrading my Livingroom & trying 3 different Vizio LED TV's, (40", 55", 65") they've literally all broken down the same way after a year or two. Each TV screen would eventually start losing backlighting on parts of the screen, then intermittently stop turning on altogether, but would occasionally be able to hear sounds.

I had an indoor antenna that would catch all but one of the local networks: ABC Channel 7. Since ABC is the reason I got an antenna, I bought an outdoor antenna that works just fine when the Vizio4502 system "allows me" to watch my choice of channels. I say "allows me" because when I try to tune ABC in, the Vizio system systematically refuses to do it. It keeps forcing their free programming to show, or changes it to a Nature channel, or gives me a black screen saying "Channel 7-1 is currently unavailable." When I try to go to antenna settings and click on Find Channels, Vizio usually finds every local network, but doesn't "find" ABC!

The HDMI port screen is scrolling nonstop and I called tech-support. They said I did all the troubleshooting things and unfortunately I would need to buy a new TV. Fixing would be too much money. I have had the TV for two years. I am totally dissatisfied. I don’t want anybody else to have to experience this even though I have read about this problem being an issue. If I buy a new TV, it will NOT be Vizio.

Vizio is cheaper than others for a simple reason; they omit important features on their products. We have a 5 year old Vizio tv that started turning itself on at odds times (middle of the night when all are asleep, or during day when no one is home). Chatted with Vizio to try to resolve. Agent asked me to select Menu button on remote, but there isn't one. She looked up the TV model and said the actual TV has no menu at all. So cannot even buy another remote with a button because it won't pull anything up. I then asked about a buyback program or discount on another TV and was told nope. So toss in the trash or be woken up at night plus pay extra electric bill. What a rip off. I will never buy Vizio again. Pay the extra $ to get all the required buttons and settings.

We have always enjoyed our 2 Vizio TVs but an update several months ago was TERRIBLE! Our antenna TV stations now take forever to load, the length of time it takes to change to channel is unbelievable! I communicated with customer service department and was told there is nothing that can be done to reject the automatic update! Turning on the TV now takes several minutes! If this isn’t fixed in a new update soon I will have to replace these 2 TVs! It is so frustrating just to turn on the TV and to change the channel! I will NEVER buy another Vizio product and have warned multiple people who have asked me about it NOT to purchase Vizio either! The update was done without prior notice and I was told there is no fix in in progress! It is extremely frustrating to use these TVs! DON’T BUY VIZIO!

This TV had a max 12 hours of run time over a year and a half. It was a seldom used TV in the kitchen. The picture went out and standard reset steps were ineffective. The LEDs worked, which I checked, having some experience with monitor repair. These units are only useful as smashroom items.

Vizio recently performed a firmware update on a SmartTV I own. It bundled all my independent ANTENNA stations into THEIR app. The app is clunky, buggy, SLOW, difficult to navigate, and the update is NOT REVERSIBLE. Now I'm stuck with a TV I DIDN'T BUY. It's a different TV now. I complained to customer service & was told basically "Nope not changing back." My advice - don't buy a Vizio SmartTV - it's not smart & you really don't know what you'll end up with.

I bought this tv, and had it in our camper, it was never used. Camper got sold, and we put the TV in our daughter’s room, also the room where our router is, and it will NOT stay connected! No other TV in our home has a problem except for this Vizio! I called Customer Service (would have called sooner, I SHOULD HAVE)… It is 2 days outside of the warranty. And Vizio will not honor it! Absolute trash! My family and friends will NEVER buy a Vizio again! Vizio’s response was to take it to someone to fix it! This TV has not even been used 6 months! Save your money. Buy a Samsung or literally ANYTHING else EXCEPT for Vizio!

The supervisor was in an meeting and unavailable at the time, no time schedule was given as to when they would call me back. So they wasted my time and denied service during the time wasted by failing to provide services. The first individual I spoke with addressed my name wrong multiple times calling me Mr. **.. He tried telling me repeatedly that my problem was an display issue.. hardware... Yet the technician I paid to look at it says it's an software issue... So who's telling me the truth? I don't have any reason to believe either side cause I'm being hustled for money on both ends...

I bought 43" D-series. Absolute awful! Numerous defects and bad features. When I turn it on and select antenna input, it shows "VizioWatch+" and spinner, no content. It often lasts "forever", until I turn it off and wait for some time. Sometimes I need to turn it off/on more than once. Sometimes I need to contact customer support. When I browse antenna channels, after going thru 5 or 6 channels it often "hangs". Have to power cycle it a few times. When I enter the number of channel and press "OK" (center button on remote), instead of going to channel it repeats the last number.

At first Vizio was great, picture great and all was good, then they updated and took cable away and forced live Vizio channel on us and now I refuse to be forced to watch what they want. TV is not used now. Shame on you Vizio!

It's far from smart. You have to completely unplug it from the wall for 30+ second to get it to work correctly. Turn it off? Best believe you'll be unplugging it again next time to turn it on because it won't be working right. Extremely irritating.

Ok here goes people. I purchased a $300.00 smart tv at Best Buy. Sorry that I ever bought this stinking smart tv from Vizio. In the beginning was great until yesterday. They decided to upgrade the tv without me even knowing it. So now I have no clock, no date, and I can’t even use previous channel. Why don’t you people leave our tvs alone!!!! This tv I have now is junk, junk, junk. I will never, never, never buy another Vizio tv as long as I live. I’m even at the point to report them to the better business bureau. This is not the way to treat a customer. You people suck, suck, suck. Bye, bye.

I purchased a 55 inch Vizio TV 2 months ago and it kept losing internet connection. After several phone calls to my internet provider and exchanging the modem I found it was the TV. The internet does not stay connected to the TV and Vizio only has a temporary fix and by temporary I mean every day you have to reset the TV. It's not worth it. The price and picture quality are good but not the guts of the TV.

TVs are great initially but once they update the firmware, it's all downhill from there. I have a 32" Vizio I bought in Aug 2021. Everything was great until last year (2022)....I used to be able to AirPlay without any issue from my Mac, but once the firmware installed, my AirPlay quit working. I posted on Reddit to their 'official' subreddit but they weren't interested in doing much of anything, in fact at one point they removed my comment about my problems for being 'offensive'. I grew to accept the fact that I couldn't AirPlay anymore, but at the same time hoped a future update would fix it. (A lot of times companies do software updates and break something, but it gets fixed with the next update).

I bought a VIZIO 55" V-Series 4K HDR Smart TV on 09/05/22 from Nebraska Furniture Mart. The tv went out in August 2023. I had someone come over to take it off the wall a week later but it miraculously powered on. Now three months later the tv is dead again and will not come on. I have spoken with two people at Vizio and all they wanted to focus on is a warranty and not being able to validate a warranty because the store is not on their list. One guy suggested that I contact Geek squad because they know Vizio's products very well and work on them often. I told him that is really sad.

I own two Vizio tvs that are basically useless. Vizio changed the settings for antenna tv to watch-free and now the up and down arrows to change the channel won't work. Vizio should change back to what customers paid for.

I bought the Vizio P55 F1 television back in January 2019. I have had many televisions in the past but never from Vizio, but I had heard good things about this tv. My other televisions were passed down to my children and still work great even after 20 years, but this one was another story. Right from the start the picture was garish and took a lot of work to get the colour right. It was working for four and a half years but after a string of software updates it would no longer start. When plugged in, it would turn on, the logo would appear on the screen for a few seconds, then turn off, then restart again over and over. I could not fix it or reset it. The tv is worthless and I need to get another tv. Needless to say I would never buy Vizio ever again. I thought I was buying a quality tv and spent $900 Canadian on it. What a waste.

I paid $228 for this TV and it didn't even last a year. Started out with a red line vertically down the middle. Tried to get it replaced. Could not find receipt so they would not help me then it started getting worse to where the screen just blacked out. Junk. Do not buy Vizio products. They are junk. Flimsy. Brittle. Break easy. Fail easy and it had technical problems from the beginning. I will never buy Vizio products again.

Vizio forced us all to take an update in 2023 which makes us all have to use the watch free app. We can't use our antenna. The system is slow, it crashes. It is horrible. I used to love Vizio. Now I hate it. Now I have to go look for a new TV.

Vizio just updated its software which wrecked my TV. Needs to be restarted often, locks up and over the air channels no longer work. I will never buy another Vizio! Look at all the other reviews, everyone is having the same problem. Now I have to go buy a new TV.

Vizio ruined a perfectly good television with an update that forces me to use the watch free app. This is horrible and takes forever just to change a channel. Tech support says to do a factory reset. This helps for a couple days but goes right back, and takes a long time to get set back up. I just want the TV that I paid for back! I hate you Vizio for what you have done. No one should ever, ever, EVER buy a Vizio product again.PS. The antenna guide does not even update everything you go to the guide. This is garbage. Done talk with Vizio support 2 times now and still garbage.

My only fix is to disconnect the TV from wifi and not stream Netflix for my kids. I hate you Vizio for what you have done. No one should ever, ever, EVER buy a Vizio product again.

I was happy with my smart TV since I bought it. Their watchfree apt could be a lot better but the TV was more affordable than other brands. However, recently they updated the program for the TV and added Live TV to the Watchfree system I guess so that both were included on the program guide feature, that update has totally ruined my TV viewing experience. The update has caused my set to lag to the point it takes me 5 to 10 minutes just to change the channel. I have to push the guide button over and over for it to upload and then it takes so long for it to actually upload the guide and then once it uploads each time I press the scroll button, it again lags and take too long to scroll.

I have a VIZIO TV. Just last month AUGUST 2023 VIZIO did an upgrade on my TV. I cannot look at my Antenna channels. I have to go through WATCHFREE TV to look at them. Since the UPGRADE my tv takes forever to turn on. Some of the channel are like a small box and you cannot change the picture size. 57 times I have unplugged my tv because I get a black screen or a reading stating 500 and "Your tv has failed". I have trouble turning channels or channels are not unavailable. This has been a great TV but with the upgrade Vizio has FAILED with watch free tv.

I bought 2 TV's both Vizio brand due to having many apps. Now that practically all apps are being discontinued on these devices. The volume comes in and out. TV freezes a lot. Do not waste your time or hard earned money on Vizio brands. Honestly I think everyone that purchased a Vizio TV should be reimbursed at least some of the money that they paid given the TV was advertised as having a ton of apps to only discontinue them. Sad how this company is a total RIP off and we can do nothing about it. Never ever will invest in anything Vizio branded.

Will not connect via HDMI. Have to use old coaxed methods. TV won't download Netflix Prime or Disney. I have had Xfinity check all modems, boxes and cables. Spent countless hours on the phone which was a huge waste of time. Will never purchase another VIZIO product.

I have a Vizio in my bedroom just for nighttime viewing. I do not stream, only watch over-the-air channels. Since Vizio sent the Watch Free Tv app, it has been a hassle, and I now have to use my internet data to watch over-the-air channels. I have been on the phone with 2 support people today and neither one of them was able to put my tv back to over-the-air only and now it doesn't work at all. The TV as of right now is completely useless where up until the week before last it was working fine. I worked with the Watch app for a week trying to learn to use it but it was just too much trouble and the fact that I gave up my cable TV and was now having to use my internet data for local channels did not sit well with me. Vizio should replace my TV but of course, they will not and most likely do not care about my problem. If you buy a Vizio, do not buy a smart TV. They will take control of it like they did mine!

75' TV almost 1 year old. Constantly stops connecting to wifi for from 5 minutes to many hours. We have 11 other wifi connected devices in home that NEVER have this problem. Also, external speaker bar I bought separately died within 3 months.

Just prior to having this tv for 3 years, I noticed a brownout bar across the screen. Within 4 months, my entire screen had browned out. Since I didn't have the extended warranty, Vizio wouldn't go anything about it. I definitely expect a tv to last for more than 3 years--My Sony is going on 14 years now.

DO NOT buy Vizio sound bar products. Mine stopped working shortly after warranty expired. I call. They would not give me the time of day or even share with me a repair center's number. Poorly made product. Save yourself the aggravation and the money.

I've had my TV less than a year and it's been nothing but headaches. Regardless of what you pay for one of these TVs, the frustration is not worth it. The price should have been a clue. I'm from the days when customer service was truly helping the customer. Never again.

I wouldn't recommend this TV to purchase. Issues with with wifi and hardwire connectivity. Apps are very slow to run and the new update is a disaster. Live stream TV!!! Garbage!! If you use wifi connectivity it freezes every 4 seconds. If you use ethernet it freezes every 4 seconds. I have 2 gbps internet speed so don't say it's my internet. Every device in the house works great on wifi or on ethernet. It's your garbage TVs that you designed. Please stay away from Vizio if you don't want headaches.

We Bought a 50" Smartcast TV back in summer 2019. Seemed a good buy with good quality and sound and we were relatively happy with it's performance at first. My wife and I Never owned a smart TV before and were new to streaming. So we started off fine. The Smartcast input never was fast at loading, but we dealt with it. It performed ok, we were happy enough. Several calls to their "customer service line" when things seemed to go south, they usually were able to help us with resets, and things went along so-so for a while till Smartcast just wouldn't load anymore. The solution for us was that we bought an external streaming product, and things were great again. The Smartcast function wasn't in the way any longer, the new streaming device gave us the streaming abilities we needed, and it was cheap, so we were satisfied.

Purchased a Vizio TV in 2019. Admit I have had some minor problems going back about 2 years ago but knowing the warranty was only for a year I lived with it. TV worked fine yesterday, went to sleep, got up this morning and turned on the TV and NO PICTURE. Sound was on, but NO PICTURE. Total black. Called tech support and in short, "Too bad you're out of warranty." A TV should last more than 4 years. I have had TVs for over 10 years with no problems. This was my first Vizio and MY LAST. No stars!!!!

I bought a Vizio tv for $700. In less than 1 year I had a problem with the backlight on the left side it was very dark but the right no problem, I contacted support, they replaced it with a new one, I have it same problem after 1 year. I contacted support again, he said they can't do anything for me. Even if it's a serial problem, they don't want to hear anything. If you buy Vizio prepare yourself to change it every year. DO NOT BUY VIZIO NEVER!!!

Will not honor warranty. After sending in photos they told me I damaged my television and they would not send a technician out to my home to verify that it was not a manufacturer defect. The TV is not damaged.

My daughter bought me this 40" Vizio for my new apartment Christmas 2022. Worked great for about 3 months. Now all I get is connectivity issues and it cuts off in the middle of my shows all the time. Am getting another TV and will NEVER recommend Vizio to anyone. This company doesn't stand by their products and gives you the run a round all the time.

I purchased my 50 inches Vizo TV May or April of 2022. After about a year I started seeing lines running across my tv, so I called Vizio, they that they would give me a refund, they kept daily asking for different documents in which I gave them, it took two weeks of asking for different before the last person I spoke with started that they had everything that they needed. So I will receive an refund in 60 days, it’s been long past the sixty days so I called them, now they stated that my refund was denied, so I am now waiting for them to send me an email so that I can take it to a lawyer so I can get my money back. Never by a Vizio TV.

Have had the TV less than a year and am having internet connectivity issues, smart tv apps not working and display issues. If you didn’t save your receipt from 6 months ago you are unable to be assisted. Seems like the display issue is happening with almost everyone who purchases from 6 months to a 2 year mark. DO NOT BUY!

I purchased a Vizio Smart TV on 01/15/2023, and as of August 6th of the same year the television is experiencing internet issues. I contacted the cable company, and the representatives were more than helpful but unable to resolve the issue. My television is in fact connected to my home's wi-fi, but the apps on the tv are all still stating that there is no internet connection. I contacted Vizio customer service, where I was refused of any service until I provided a clear receipt with all of the product's purchase information. I assumed that like any other product when you give a serial number all of the information would populate. That was not the case here. Overall, I am disgusted that this TV is a little over 6 months old, and I am experiencing such severe issues already.

I purchased a 48" Vizio smart cast TV April 2022. By November 2022 had issues with apps not working, volume turning up and down by itself. Received a replacement by Feb. 2023. I was told the warranty would be extended until June 2023 due to the issues even have a recording of the conversations. By March 2023 the apps started freezing, the volume goes up and down on its own, and when muting the tv the screen sometimes goes black with volume still on until you press mute again then screen comes back and volume muted. Once again contacted Vizio they troubleshooted. This went on through May 2023.

Horrible all around experience! Tried returning it to the store, return window was closed. Contacted Allstate insurance they directed us to Vizio tect support.. Lady said they pushed out an update and nothing we can do about the problems because we had agreed to the terms. OK, so far we lost our on screen guide, discription and HDMI 1 port. Lady said we needed another HDMI and different device to plug into the HDMI 1 port, crazy! Our HDMI cable and dvd player worked in port 2 just fine but not 1!! Also had to rescan the antenna each time we turned the tv back on to bring up the channels. Have to "watch free" now to bring up our antenna channels and a number of other issues as well! We lost a lot of functions so were just sol no refunds. Buying additional insurance is a joke as well. Seems Vizio uses the update term as a get out of jail free card.. Will never buy another Vizio product.

Like another customer on here Phyllis said Vizio will NOT ever sent you a refund. I have screenshots that show they owe me 2 refunds and it's been saying "processing" for about 2 weeks. These people LIE and hide behind automatic messages. I recently found out that Vizio is also still tracking customer's tv usage. They've hid the feature in the Settings and I'm sure everyone will find this option turned ON although customers don't turn it on. Vizio already have it programmed to track your television data which is why they don't tell customers it's there or how to turn it Off.

Do not buy a Vizio smart TV. That is my recommendation, I will certainly never buy another. If presented with the choice of buying a Vizio TV and not being able to watch TV, it would depend on the time of year. May and June, the NBA playoffs. That is a no brainer. I acknowledge that I have never purchased any other smart TVs. Maybe they’re all similar, in which case, disregard. One of the things they never tell you when you buy your Vizio, is that you have to consent to their marketing. They claim that by allowing third parties access to your viewing history and habits, they are able to sell TVs for less.

My children bought me a Vizio tv Dec 2021. 6 months I had vertical lines on my screen. After calling Vizio multiple times they replaced that tv. Now 6 months later this one all of sudden has no sound! Called the company again and they will kit replace or repair! These TVs last basically a month! Will never buy this product again! Junk!

Vizio updates and changes how the tv functions - not better for the consumer - they do not want you to watch local channels just their free TV -the guide does not work all the time, you cannot tell what channel you are on (local channels), does not give you channel numbers, you do have to unplug tv at time to get either volume or channels to come on - NOT SURE HOW YOU CAN UPDATE A TV AND TAKE OPTIONS AWAY - DO NOT BUY, GET A DIFFERENT BRAND!!!!

Just purchased a 2019 motorhome with 2 Vizio TVs. Both TVs worked fine the first couple of times I turned them on - completely downhill from there. Have to unplug them, wait 5-10 seconds then plug them back in every time just to get them to turn on. Then, to get to the Smartcast home screen, I have to run a factory reset....every time. So, to get to Youtube or Amazon Prime, that takes about 15 minutes....every time. Yes, I called their support line which eventually ended with "since your TV is so old maybe you would like to buy a new model". I replied, yes, I will be buying a new TV but it sure won't be a Vizio. Since we are going on a trip right away I replaced the TVs with a couple from our house - a LG and a Samsung. Youtube & Amazon Prime? Maybe 30 seconds....every time. Never heard of Vizio before buying this RV....Can't imagine willingly buying one.

I purchased a Vizio TV in November 2022. Every time it does an update the ability to get to the local channels goes away. Keep in mind there are no numbers on the remote - you click ok on the remote and a keypad is supposed to appear on screen so you can select the channels you want. Whenever there is an update, that keypad disappears and only brings up the guide that you have to scroll through hundreds of channels to get to what you want. And on the guide, about 75% of the time, my local channels are not there at all. Very frustrating. I got rid of this TV after only 7 months and will never buy another Visio product. Have used Samsung TVs in the past, and to replace the Visio and the Samsungs work great and setup is easy. I recommend staying away from Visio.

I bought 2 Vizio TVs (D24 & D32) in late 2022. I had to have Vizio replace the D24 in September 2022 (that TV still freezes occasionally) and they are now sending me a D32. Vizio offers affordable prices and a great selection of free TV, but the TV keeps freezing or cutting off or not coming on. The Customer Service is good, but you can only put up with so much poor quality before you decide to buy another brand. BTW - The CSR told me that the D32 was actually manufactured in 2021. I believe Vizio is not able to keep their TV software up to date to handle current streaming technology.

Overall my Vizio D24f1 tv has been pretty good - impressive picture and sound, however, after a Netflix update my tv was bricked! Spent quite a bit of time with Vizio troubleshooting, finally the last thing to try was to download the last Vizio update to my computer, save it on a thumb drive, and insert the thumb drive into the back of the set. It worked! Can now access Netflix, Apple tv, etc very well - only other "problem" is that frequently I would have to unplug the tv and plug in again to get it to come on. Installed a lighted on/off switch at the place the tv plugs into the wall so I can easily do this. Basically, sometimes you turn the tv on, and it doesn't come on.

I purchased a Vizio 40" smart tv in Dec. Since April the screen turns green when I power it on. The TV shuts off randomly, sometimes the TV won't even turn on. I have to unplug it, then wait about 5 mins then try again. Sometimes it works, mostly not. I wouldn't purchase this brand again. My neighbor is having problems as well.

3 maybe 4 Vizio TVs and now I know for sure to never buy this TV again. They are all terrible. All kinds of issues including staying powered on. The worst TV ever. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY - I WILL buy the cheap ones at Walmart for 1/2 the price from now on, waste of money.

Don’t buy this TV! They are junk and after 5 months mine started having white lines on the screen. They told me it could not be fixed and would be sending me a refund. Still waiting for it after 1 1/2 months. When I called the 1st time they told me the check had been already cut. I waited 2 weeks after the date they gave me and called again. Then I was told the check had not been cut yet and it would take 60 days even though they told me in an email that I would have my check between 17 and 25 days later. They lied! Still waiting and after seeing the trouble everyone else is having I probably will never get a refund! Will NEVER buy another Vizio ever!

For over a year, Vizio has been spamming me from the short code 65381. I have never done business with them, provided my contact information to them, or even bought any of their products before. I have REPEATEDLY told them to get lost, but they continue to spam me over a year later. This situation ensures that I will NEVER buy anything from them.

Price may be great but the TV won't last. My model was a V505-J01 but since I don't see that one available I'm writing a review on this one. I had this tv about 1.5 years and started seeing lines. I thought they would disappear, went through all the troubleshooting, still nothing. Then one day the lines consumed the entire screen and it turned back with a few lines of white at the top. Spoke with Vizio customer service and they offered to replace the TV, they just needed a copy of the receipt. Umm I purchased this almost 2 years ago and there's no receipt to be found. Called them back to see what else could be done only to be told my model isn't available anymore and they would have to issue a refund. Can't do that because the receipt is long gone.

Bought a brand new enclosed box television, 30 inch class. Powers up very slowly. Processes remote commands. Example - to turn on and get YouTube tv on (login info saved) takes about 3 minutes. Our LG takes about 40 seconds and our Samsung about 30 seconds. In addition it repeatedly and randomly shuts off the app we are using and sometimes shuts itself off randomly. There is a reason it’s less expensive than others…Poor quality and poor functioning. Spend a few bucks more and buy your favorite well known brand! This is the first and last Vizio I will ever own.

After 9 months with my m series television developed a problem. I contacted text support at Vizio and after several minutes he determined that the TV could not be repaired and advised me to put it on the side of the road. He didn't tell me with the m series televisions and another of the series there is a problem internally with the television that cannot be repaired. Vizio was aware of this problem but continues to put this m series television out on the market without advising the buyer or the seller of the problem. I would not recommend Vizio to anyone.

Bought two 70" Vizios, same TVs at the on the same visit to Target. They worked flawlessly for about 4 months. I've tested my WI-Fi, which is good enough to run a $200 Roku TV perfectly from opposite ends of 1800 square feet layout. I can also have several phones and several people streaming on any other combination of devices/times of day, except for when it comes to these TVs. Prior reviews about remote glitching and having to unplug/replug over and over---ALL TRUE. I would add that mine will play without interruption for sometimes 2 hours, or 30 minutes, or two minutes, and at some point it will always just freeze.

Simply put, the picture quality is great for the price. Vivid, sharp, vibrant colors and my PS5 games look great on it. Bad part, navigating around the menu is very laggy. Sometimes, you're having to wait 3 seconds for a function to respond whether it's pulling up the channel guide to changing channels or accessing the home menu.

I purchased a Vizio tv January 31st of last year. About 3 months ago the picture started being distorted and it got worse and worse to the point I can’t watch it!!! Do better Vizio! Over $300 down the drain. Not to mention how much I’ll have to spend to buy a new tv.

Vizio was fine. Turned out to be combined issue of Xfinity Comcast issue, plus defective Flex Box and a bad Roku cable.

13 month old television is garbage. Called support. They tell me I have to go buy a new tv!! Great customer service huh!! Never in my life have I ever had a customer service person tell me that. I will never purchase another Vizio product in my life..

We bought our tv about 18 months ago, it now has a wonderful colorful striped display...that's it. Replaced with a Samsung, will NEVER purchase this brand again. I suggest speaking to the sales person where you are looking to purchase, they hear the worst case scenarios.

The absolute worst thing to buy. The television I bought in September no longer works at all; all that is visible is a jumble of colored lines and dots. I called to try to troubleshoot, but nothing has worked to solve the issue. I called to request a replacement and was informed that I could only get a certified television rather than a new one. Why would I accept a certified TV if I just bought it?

I have owned my 60" TV for 4 years. During that time I have had technical issues consistently, having to unplug the TV, hold the power button for 10-30 seconds, reset to mfg settings - you name it I have done it. I was asked to track down my receipt, send in only to be told out of the $650 I pd they would give me $125 toward a new Vizio. 1 year warranty. Really? Why would I spend more money on a Vizio TV I have nothing but problems with?

Mid-2020, I moved to a new home and bought four new TVs, one Vizio (V605-G3, Serial Number 08LFTRYRLW00447) and three bigger ones from TCL. While I’ve never had any issues with the TCLs, the Vizio had problems from the start. A few days after purchase, I called the support to complain about fuzzy lines/shadows/distortions on the right side of the TV screen. I was helped pretty quick with instructions how to power cycle the TV which solved the problem for a few months. The problem re-appeared every once in a while, but usually “fixed itself” after a few minutes or after another power cycle.

I bought a 24" Vizio TV in 2019 and I noticed it to be very slow for at least a year. In July of 2019 I contacted them and the tech said the TV would not get updates through the wifi so they had me put updates on a flash drive and then connect the flash drive to the tv. Today I called and they said the slowness is not due to wifi speed and the TV is faulty. It's outside of the warranty and they won't help at all. I can't imagine buying a TV that lasts less than 3 years. I would steer clear from this company.

Vizio is honestly terrible. I'm not here to bash them but that's what I have concluded after having their tv for almost 3 years. Their “smart cast” is always freezing. It is not worth it. I got an LG and DO NOT REGRET IT.

This thing is awful. It freezes up constantly, it lags, glitches and when I’m forced to unplug it and try to reset it, it turns on and off for over an hour trying to figure itself out again. Save your money, buy a TV that will let you use it whenever you want. I wish I could give negative stars. It worked well for the first few months and now it’s more of a giant useless block on my wall than a television. I haven’t even had it for 2 years and we avoid using it because it’s too unpredictable and frustrating. Seriously, don’t buy this TV.

Purchased my 75 inch Vizio TV from Sam's Club. After only 3 months, the sound stopped working. Have spent hours on the phone with their customer service team and have escalated the issue up through the management team - I'm completely frustrated. They insisted that they send repairmen to my home - waited 3 weeks for them to show only to find out they weren't able to fix the sound issue. Am now waiting for a new television set to be delivered, which is what I asked for at the beginning of this entire debacle. They wanted to give me a refurbished TV despite the fact that mine is only 3 months old. Had to argue with them repeatedly to receive a new TV - who knows if that's what I'm actually getting. Have now been without sound for 5 weeks and I'm beyond frustrated. From the quality of the TV, to the customer service - this company and their products are a joke. I will NEVER purchase a Vizio again and you shouldn't either.

I have been dealing with Vizio TV support for months trying to resolve issues with my Vizio M series 70 inch TV. No support or resolution. Cannot get HDMI 2.1 even with their updates. Run from Vizio TVs.

This tv is horrible. The smart icons rarely work. The remote sucks. The picture is always going blurry if the scene changes. Blacks are like a fog gradient. The sound is ugly. The way you change inputs is ridiculous, you have to keep pushing the button to get past all of the inputs you never use. You can only turn off or skip the hdmi inputs, those are the ones you use. It has all this free tv and watch now ** in the way you can't delete or skip. Your cords are sticking out the side and can't be cleaned up or hidden. Piece of junk. Buy a Samsung.
