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.
Fast forward to around mid August, 2023, and I notice that the TV has become sluggish. My onscreen input selection bar has been moved, the input names have changed, WTH? Ok, so things slog along until one day in very early Sept, I have no control of my volume. I mean none! I can't change channels in the antenna input setting. The remote isn't working normally.
I try the manual buttons on the back of the TV, same issues. So we call Vizio customer service for help. They tell us YES, they have been doing updates to the firmware very recently, and they cannot be reversed WTH? They tell us we can't block the updates. They tell us to try resetting the TV to orig factory specs. I tried all day Saturday, you can't!!! The set says it's resetting but problems persist and the visual changes that were caused by the updates are still not what they were when the TV was brand new. I tried till I was so frustrated, I just took the TV out to the trashcan.
Never again will I buy Vizio! Never again will I buy a smart TV. I replaced my Vizio with a "DUMB" TV, and never have I been so happy. The new TV, is just a TV. That's it. If I want to stream, I can do so with an external device. If my streaming devices ever fails, I can replace it with any brand I choose. No more will my viewing habits be spied on. No more will I be at the mercy of the TV brand. I believe "Dumb" TV's will make a comeback. Some company, somewhere, will figure that out. Maybe a new brand will emerge and only make dumb TV's.
The consumer wants a reliable product that keeps the consumer in control. There are smart TV's out there that allow the consumer to set the update schedule, or even override or block it completely (but not many). I almost went that route, but I thought it's better to just steer clear, just in case. Thanks Vizio. You have convinced me to never buy your brand again. I will make sure everyone I know here's about my experience, you can bet on that.

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!!!

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.

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.
Last call they told me my warranty was up byy own remote and the recording I had of the earlier conversations meant nothing. Need w July 2023 the TV comes on but does NOTHING else. VIZIO is junk and I would NEVER recommend this brand to anyone even if they sold for $50 each they aren't worth the time and aggravation to try to watch anything.

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.
Now they've resulted to with-holding customer's refunds after they're approved. I've contacted them several times to ask when will both refund checks be mailed out yet they've given me the run around and keep saying 60 days. It doesn't take that long to process a refund. It should be illegal for any Company to with-hold a refund without a Legitimate reason and Vizio employees had not one good reason why they hold refunds for 60 days. They've had excuse after excuse and I've caught them in multiple LIES. I just want both of my FULL REFUNDS so I can NEVER EVER deal with Vizio again. I'll stick to Samsung. I only bought these 2 Vizio televisions because they were out of stock of the Samsung Brand. Now 6 months ago and now they're no good and the screens have turned white. I've never had a television go out in 6 months. Vizio need to just go out of business because no one want your JUNK Vizio.

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.
After setting up the TV, there is a notice that you must consent to, allowing Vizio to collect information on how much time you spend watching, what time of day you watch, what shows you watch, how much time you spend looking at something when you are trying to decide what to watch and what commercials you watch as opposed to skipping. Probably universally, new owners think, ‘there is no way I am consenting to this,’ and then they find out that you have to consent to it if you want to keep using your TV. When I googled this, I found out that Vizio reassures new Vizio owners by telling them that your identity is never used in conjunction with any of this data, but that is still not very reassuring. In the end, I had to consent to watch my TV.
That was 4 years ago and I don’t think about it very much anymore, so this is what has my feathers ruffled today. In addition to collecting data about my viewing, Vizio also makes certain recommendations. When I turn my TV on, sometimes, a window opens giving me the option of watching something that I would never choose on my own. My choice is to watch this offering, or shutting down and starting up again. There is no going back, only an option to play. Eventually I figured out that I can use the “Exit” button on the remote to go to the usual menu. It’s annoying, but I am used to that now too.
In the 1970s, like most people, I had a component stereo. Every time I moved, which was a lot of times, the first thing that got moved and set up was the stereo, so that I could listen to music while unpacking in the new place. I no longer have any pieces of stereo equipment. I have a Bose surround sound system connected to my Vizio 65 inch smart TV and I use that to listen to music. Before you get the wrong idea, I bought it refurbished. I am not made of money. If I were I would not have bought a Vizio smart TV from Costco.
Vizio has all of the usual apps, and about 118 that I will never use, and of course I can’t delete or even hide any of the ones that I don’t use, only reorder the app bar to where I don’t have to see them. They have iHeart Radio, Pandora and Sirius. I can listen to music on YouTube as well, but I dislike all of these services for various reasons. When listening to Pandora, if I say I want to listen Nora Jones it will start with a Nora Jones song and then never play another Nora Jones song for 2 hours. After a few minutes it will play a Jack Johnson song and if I don’t go into the room and give it a thumbs down, pretty soon, 2 out of every 5 songs is a Jack Johnson song. Don’t get me wrong, I like Jack Johnson, but when I ask Pandora to play Nora Jones, I want to hear at least a few Nora Jones songs.
Sirius XM is a joke. Commercial free my **. They say they are commercial free and maybe they don’t advertise beer or cars or fast food, they talk more than any commercial FM station. They are constantly advertising their other channels and something that is going to be on those channels later today or tomorrow or whatever.
YouTube plays commercials. If I am sitting in front of my TV and not in the other room, fixing lunch or doing dishes or whatever, it works, but it plays a 4 minute song and then a 4 minute advertisement, with the option of skipping after 4 seconds. If I want to dry my hands and walk back in the living room and skip the ad, it is not too annoying, but for my money, I like to build a playlist of songs from iTunes and connect my iPhone to my Vizio and listen to what I want to listen to, commercial free, through my Bose surround sound system, as loud as I want.
For whatever reason, it is hit or miss if my phone will connect to the TV. Sometimes it hooks up on the first go and other times I have to shut the TV off and back on a few times or quit iTunes a few times and restart or even restart my iPhone before it finally connects. I have had it take 10 minutes to connect before, but then once it does, I can listen to music all day. That is of course, unless Vizio decides they need to send me one of those recommendations and that disconnects my phone from the TV and takes 10 minutes to get hooked back up, causing me to say bad words.
So what got me spun up enough to write this review, is my Vizio abruptly stopping Tom Petty from singing Born to Rebel, to see if I want to watch Barbie, the movie. Okay, if you are collecting all of this data about me, why would you send me a recommendation to watch Barbie. I am a 67 year old single male, born in Idaho who lived in Alaska most of my life and so given the option of watching Barbie or having one of my teeth pulled without anesthesia I would want to know which tooth. It took a while, but I am back to listening to my Rock On mix, currently, The Wallflowers, One Headlight, until Vizio sends me another stupid recommendation.

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.
After turning the on/off switch off, and on again - then the tv would light the blue "power" lite, which comes on for about 10 seconds - after this light fades away, then I could press the on button on the remote, and it displays the "V" and quickly comes on. No big deal, you get used to it, only takes a few seconds to get the TV to come on, but quirky. One thing I really like is that the viewing angle of this tv is very good, I have mine on a shelf above my computer and to the right, the pictures look great from this angle, some tvs have a big problem with being viewed from below the tv level -

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.
I'm now stuck with a TV that will only give me sound, no picture. I purchased Vizio since I already have a 32 in and it's been perfect for at least 10 years. YouTube is filled with videos of how to fix the issue which tells me Vizio KNOWS their T-Conn boards are crap. Vizio either upgrade your T-Conn boards or offer to replace it FOR FREE regardless of warranty time because who wants to purchase a new TV every 1.5-2 years? I don't! Will not purchase this brand of smart TV again.

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.

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.
I have to then hit the "home button" and wait for the operating system on the TV to go through a random sort of reboot, where it finally will recognize the apps again (after being blank for up to 20 minutes). And then you have to keep pressing home button and entering one app, then closing and trying the first app you wanted...then after all of this, it will still say "app not recognized" or some other nonsense until it finally recognizes and then starts working again. At that point I get anxiety because I don't know if after a half hour investment, the things is going to play for an hour a another minute. Good news though, you can just abandon the os on the televisions and use a Firestick, but what a joke in either case.

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.
The worse part is the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) feature which allows the TV to control any compatible HDMI device like a PS5 with just your remote. It works great for the first few tries, but after a while when turning on my PS5 I get a black screen.. It's fixed by switching to another input and switching back which is annoying and shouldn't have to be done. Vizio "claims" they "working on a fix" according to a Vizio Sub-Reddit, but that was well over a year ago which tells me Vizio is NOT taking this issue seriously. It's a shame because it is a neat feature that's convenient when working right. But I guess it's better left off and just manually switching inputs and turning on the devices separately. Vizio....do better. Shameful SMH.

Original Review: Feb. 13, 2023
Vizio failed to effectively operate streaming device from XFinity. A tech got it to work, but it was slow to respond to remote commands. I tried resetting and then it endlessly either failed to recognize solid wifi signals and the times it does and I select a signal it fails to ever link to it. Went out and bought a Roku. Now it fails to even acknowledge an operational, and very common, device is correctly attached (by a tech no less!). Reading all Roku's notes on the subject they consistently write the issue off as probably have a poor signal and promote buying their stream device. I think they know there is an issue and honestly don't give a damn and don't care to fix it because ** if you don't buy their steaming box. I always loved the quality and price of Viso. Won't ever buy another one.

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?
Issues: Won't stay connected to WiFi which the other TV stays connected just fine and I work remote all day with no issues. Antenna will not hold the channels you have to keep rescanning every time you want to try to watch the news, constantly have to hard start the TV to "clear the memory", connection issues with streaming. They won't even send a repair person out to see what the issue is or do repair. Overall I used to love Vizio until I had to return the TV I had, to replace with this one I am having issues with as well. Vizio needs to stand behind their product and the quality of that product. No TV should have to be replaced in 4 years. There is only me using it.

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.
Sometimes, the problem was more persistent, I called customer support again and was guided through other steps, usually involving the support rep sending some signals to my TV. Including my last call on 1/6/2023, I called at least five times. This last time, the problem was very persistent and I asked the rep for a replacement TV as there was no immediate fix and this is obviously a recurring problem – and one that seems to be common with that TV, thus some kind of manufacturing defect. I was told the TV is now out of warranty and she could only recommend buying a new TV (for which she would provide me with a $100 gift card if I bought another Vizio).
The rep was only able to find records of three of my at last five calls and suggested to next time ask for a replacement earlier while the TV was still under warranty. No good deed goes unpunished: Being so trusting to accept what I can now say were only temporary fixes did not work well for me. I’m still surprised that Vizio would ask a customer to power cycle or even reset a TV in regular intervals as opposed to making TVs where that isn’t necessary.

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.

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.

I see a lot of one-star comments on here and those people must be doing something wrong because I have zero complaints about my 4K Vizio with Dolby Vision Enhancement. The apps available are more than adequate and the tv has lightning-fast response to any action. Now that being said, I have T-mobile 5G WiFi running through it hooked up through an Ethernet cable. Sometimes the air can be unreliable. More than likely the major complainers have crap internet and expect it to perform awesome. Not happening.
I also have Directv Stream hooked up to my Vizio and between that and the Smartcast that comes with the tv, there’s no app and no channel I can’t get. Roku? No thanks. Most tv manufacturers offer Roku as a selling point to get you to buy a junk tv and it works but not for me. I couldn’t be happier with my Vizio. Oh, and another thing, stay away from the 55” and bigger TVs. Most people buy them like it’s a contest to see who can brag about having the biggest screen? Compensating boys? It’s a fact that the smaller screens have the best picture. Big screens spread everything too thin to make a crisp picture. Vizio+T-Mobile internet+Dolby vision enhancement is the perfect combination. I couldn’t be happier with my Vizio tv and its user-friendly operations. When it comes down to it though, the tv is just a conduit. Get better internet people and your Vizio will perform like a champ.

Only reason why I gave it a 2 star is because of the first 10 months I owned the tv. I bought a 40 inch Vizio TV about a year and a half ago. I was super excited since it was a smart TV and had the option to cast my phone to it. Also thought with it being a smart TV you can go to the App Store and get the apps you wanted, you can’t but being able to cast my phone to the tv solved that solution. The TV worked fine for about 10 months.
The only issue I had was that I had to unplug it like once a month. Didn’t bother me since I travel for work or personal stuff a lot. But about 8 months ago the problems keep getting worse and worse. From freezing for a few seconds to just closing apps. Now, I can’t even open up Netflix. Everything I watch, within 2-6 minutes, it ends up freezing for 3-10 seconds like it’s buffering when I know my internet is good enough so that’s not the issue. When using the remote EVERYTHING lags on it. Turning down the volume makes the TV lag, trying scroll through apps, turning the tv off, literally using their own home page makes it lag, everything is slow and lags. And there has maybe been 1 or 2 system update since I had it so nothing is getting accomplished with this tv.
On top of all that, you can’t add other apps. Or if you can, I can figure it out. For example one of the apps I watch a lot isn’t in the list of 100 apps you have to scroll through hoping the app you want is in it. Which takes and hour because of how slow the tv is. I mentioned casting my phone to the tv, that’s slower and more grainy than watching an app. It’s an absolute joke. I know I will never spend my money on a Vizio TV. Which is sad because the their old TVs were solid. If you only plan on having the TV short term, it’s an option. Otherwise don’t waste your time with a lemon.

We used to love Vizio products until we purchased a TV in October. It was used in October for a week and not touched again until the first week of December. When we turned it on the entire corner of the TV screen looked like it was cracked. (Wasn't cracked on the exterior and TV was never moved or touched after we set it up). It was too late to return to the dealer we purchased it from and they advised us to go thru Vizio as the TV had a one year warranty. What a scam. They "diagnosed" the TV thru a picture we sent on our phone. They said it was caused by the TV being moved. I can promise you we never touched it and advised the warranty dept. They then advised that it may have occurred during the shipping of the TV but it didn't show up until now.
It's not about the amount of the TV - we purchased a new one in the meantime, which sadly we purchased another Vizio. If you produce a product that was obviously defective you should stand behind your product. We will NEVER purchase another product of Vizio.

We called Vizio and emailed multiples about this, tried all of their trouble shooting, sent them videos, and none of that worked. They have refused to do anything to remedy the situation saying that we are out of the 1yr warranty. The problem is the 1yr warranty was for the first TV which broke. The second TV they brought as a replacement broke in less than 1 month and should also be under a 1yr manufacturer's warranty. They are continuing to say they will not replace the TV which is the resolution that we want. Having two TVs break in under a year from Vizio….with no resolution….is not acceptable when the original purchase price was over $1,000.

We have a 42" Vizio Smartcast tv. I HATE it. Sure, the sound is good & picture quality is great but other than that, it's a piece of garbage. In fact, it just shut off on its own while typing this. It will throw me out of the regular cable channels & load the "home" screen. It is very irritating when you are trying to watch something. Other times it won't shut off at all. I am constantly unplugging it to reset it. I will NEVER buy another Vizio tv.

December 2021 Bought this TV with the understanding it had a channel guide. Talked to customer service and after 45 minutes on the phone, they realized the new ones do not have an onscreen channel guide that lets you know what's on hour by hour ahead of time, only just what's on now. It shows in the manual online it has one but it does not. I did not get a manual with the new tv when it was sent.

We bought a 70" Vizio last Black Friday (not even a year ago) and they have replaced it twice, which was nice of them, but between weird random lines on the screen to it randomly going to the smart cast setting while you are watching it, we couldn't change the volume until it warmed up and now the one we have if you don't turn it on for a day you have to unplug it when you go to watch it cause it's like it's muted. These tvs have been garbage. And their reasoning is that they have to be hooked to the internet cause they need to update, and last time I checked not everyone has that ability nor do they want to.
Volume is volume and over many years we have never needed that with a tv smart or not! This time when I chatted with someone while I was talking to them said I was quiet for too long (which I wasn't) and they were disconnecting.

I purchased a Vizio TV in 2/2021. The tv worked until a software update was done in early June. Since the update, I have had ongoing problems with the audio and video not syncing properly. I contacted Vizio in early June and went through the troubleshooting procedures with them. After a few more calls, I was told a software update would be released that would fix the problem (this was in late June, early July). I have called several more times (7/21/2021, 8/5/2021, 8/20/2021, 8/30/2021) and each time was assured that Vizio was aware of the problem and they were working on it.
When I spoke to Louise on 8/20/2021, I was told the software update was due to be released in about three days. On 8/30/2021 I left her a voicemail message stating that no software update had been issued and my tv still does not work. In July I requested a refund and was told Vizio does not issue refunds and in the rare times they do it would take weeks (although Vizio asked for a copy of my receipt, which I provided).
I filed a complaint with the BBB on 8/31/2021 and someone called me on 9/6/2021 to follow up. I was told an update was scheduled to be released within a few days. The update was done on 9/15/2021 and so far the TV seems to be working. In the meantime, on 9/16/2021 Vizio responded on the BBB website that they tried to reach me, but could not and since I could not be reached, they closed the case.
I did have two phone calls from the same phone number that I was not able to answer (one on 9/15 and one on 9/16). The phone number did not include the name of a person or company and the caller did not leave a voicemail message. It could have been Vizio, but I have no way of knowing. Bottom line, 3.5 months is a long time to wait for a company to fix a software problem, and despite them telling me how good their customer service is, their customer service leaves a lot to be desired. I would not recommend anyone buy a Vizio TV and I do not plan to buy another one in the future.

After getting home and setting everything up I realized that we are unable to add apps. So I can't get Sling or most of the other apps we are used to using. Sure they have the really popular ones like Disney Plus and Amazon, but what about Sling? Those of us using smart TVs typically don't have cable so we need to have more options for tv apps. I'm returning this and getting a different brand that actually has options where I don't have to connect my phone and use smart casting in order to watch tv. If I wanted to do that I would just use my phone, not spend $800 on a TV that has no options.

I purchased a Vizio TV (M-Series Quantum 65"4K HDR SmartTV: M65Q7-H1) in December, 2020 from Best Buy, together with a 2-year protection plan from the Geek Squad. Since then I’ve had number of problems including WiFI error messages (“not connected to the internet”), freezing of the TV screen when trying to load an app, sound/video out of sync. Broad horizontal banding (green, red) appears intermittently on the screen that “floats” up the screen.
The Geek Squad have been out numerous times over the last six months, but failed to repair the TV despite replacing many parts and performing many software updates. They contacted Vizio who say they will replace it with a refurbished TV. My problem is that I didn’t ask for a replacement and I certainly don’t want a refurb. I’d like my money returned since I bought a manifestly lemon TV. Vizio say they are following their warranty procedures. Credit to the Geek Squad for working tirelessly. Given my experience, I recommend that anyone buying a TV should look at other brands. Vizio might be budget choice, but they don’t offer a reliable quality product, and they don’t provide service procedures that are actually helpful. Don’t buy a Vizio.

The sound is adequate, though it would be nice if it could be a better. Some movies and shows require the volume raised to the limit and there is a bit of vibration and distortion when it is that high. This is not a huge problem as nearly all other televisions I've had have required a soundbar to hear dialogue. This television is usually loud enough on its own. The only real issue I had with this television is when I lost the remote and accidentally reset the television to factory default the television was completely useless! I could not setup the television without the remote so it was stuck at the setup screen until I could go out and buy another remote...Every television should have enough controls on the television itself to at least operate it through setup.

I purchased a 65 inch Vizio P Series TV (model P65Q9-H1) last December for the specific reason that I had also just purchased a PlayStation 5. Upon purchasing the PS5, I wanted to buy a TV that is going to support the next generation graphics. So I specifically set out looking for a 4K TV with an HDMI 2.1 port that is 120hz. I decided to buy this TV as it has 4 HDMI ports in total. HDMI 1 and 2 are standard 2.0 ports that only support 60hz. HDMI 3 and 4 are the next generation 2.1 ports that are 120hz primarily used for the next-gen gaming consoles.
This TV is falsely advertised on both Vizio’s and Best Buy’s websites. To be clear, my complaint is against Vizio, not Best Buy. I did purchase the TV at Best Buy, however, the information, specs, verbiage, etc., that goes on Best Buy’s website is all supplied by Vizio for their products that Best Buy sells. Here is the TV that I purchased: **. This TV is clearly advertised as a 120hz TV on both websites. The 120hz does not work with my PS5, and in the rare occasion that it does, it is only a matter of time before issues occur with a white scrambled image as shown in the attached photo.
There are numerous complaints and negative reviews towards Vizio regarding this issue on Vizio’s, Best Buy’s, and numerous other websites. They are fully aware of the situation and have even posted topics regarding the issue on the FAQ page of their website. Their solution is for customers to use HDMI 1 or 2 which are only 60hz ports. I didn’t purchase a 60hz TV. I purchased a 120hz TV. If I wanted to play my PS5 in 60hz, then I would have either kept my previous TV or bought one for half the price that I spent on this one.
Vizio has been aware of this issue for as long as I have owned this TV, if not longer, due to the floodgates of complaints that they have received even prior to my purchase. The question I have is why are they still advertising this as a 120hz TV if it clearly does not work in 120hz? Is it just maybe because they want to continue to mislead the public in thinking that they are buying a 120hz TV so they can make more sales?
I have called and spoke to numerous supervisors in their corporate office over the past 7 months. I keep being told that they will be pushing out a firmware issue to resolve the problem. I have been dealing with this for 7 months and my patience is wearing thin. They can’t push out a firmware update to fix this issue but they can push out new TVs for 2021? Makes a whole lot of sense, doesn’t it?
In my communication with their corporate office, I had requested to be upgraded to the 2021 equivalent of last year’s version of my same model TV. The P Series Quantum X (model P65QX-H1) at no additional expense to me. They refused to do it. I’ve read some reviews on it and noticed that some people have reported not having any issues with the 120hz not working for them. I don’t think I am being unreasonable for requesting this considering all of the hours I have spent on the phone with their support team troubleshooting the issue.
Instead, they offered to refund my money. I don’t want a refund, I want a resolution to the issue. I purchased this TV during the holidays when it was on sale. For me to accept a refund would mean that I would have to spend several hundred dollars more to buy a TV now when they are not on sale in order to get a TV that supports these specs. My recommendation is to avoid Vizio at all costs. Their customer service is the worst. Instead of working with the customer, they will false advertise and mislead you into buying their products. Since they refuse to work with me on this issue, I am not only posting this review here, but on every other review site as well.

The TV was purchased at the beginning of the pandemic because our last one (Sony) had an accident with my Autistic son. At the time there weren't a lot of tvs at BestBuy. So we settled on this vizio.. A few months later we purchased a smaller 24 inch for a smaller room, one where the TV gets used maybe once a month or every other month. Our 65 inch was wall mounted originally and the stands were lost at some point.. probably thrown away.. Well recently I decided to redo my entertainment center so I took down my original center and am remaking a new one where stands are required. I contacted vizio about PURCHASING new ones since it was my fault I no longer had them.
A nice lady said since the TV was under warranty, she would send me new ones.. was happy. I checked back after almost two weeks and was informed by lady number two, that vizio does NOT do that and DOES NOT sell stands.. seems weird to make a TV that includes stands but if you need new ones for some reason, they don't sell them. She gave me three websites of people that would sell them and I contacted all three and NO ONE had them in stock..
So I ordered from Amazon and they work.. so now remote... This is a big issue... both of our remotes for our vizios.. well..how can I say this? Junk.. the OK button that selects the app or program you are on is soooo unresponsive that sometimes you feel like you are pressing it hard enough to bend it.. I've talked to vizio and went over all the steps they have listed on their website. New batteries. Clean line of sight to tv.. pushing ALL OF THE OTHER buttons and all of the other buttons are ok.. Now the problem is not me.. it's the remote.
How do I know this? Like I mentioned we have two vizio tvs. The 65 gets used daily a lot.. I could understand if we wore the button out.. but the 24 inch? Since we purchased it, I can honestly and truthfully say it has been used less than 10 to 15 times since we purchased it.. It is in a room that is hardly ventured into.. Once every other month maybe? And its controller has same issue.. now see my issue? Junky.. We have downloaded the app and it works..

In reality I paid just over $500 a year to watch this tv and I am not thankful. I also found out that Vizio had to close their Canadian division because their product is the worst on the market. Do not buy this tv. It will not last. I have a Sony and an LG and they are both over 12 years old and still working fine. I’ve learned my lesson. Take my advice. Pay more and get a product that will last. No wonder Vizio has a class action lawsuit against them.

I purchased 3 Vizio TVs 11/2019 & I started experiencing problems a couple months later. I reached out to Vizio, but they wanted to send someone to my home at the beginning of the pandemic so I declined. Recently 2/2021 I let them come out to repair the televisions and they still are not repaired. The tvs all 3 cut on and off randomly and lose sound. I reached out to them again and they say I’m not eligible for a refund because it’s outside of the repair timeframe. Vizio is trash and they don't stand behind their product. I’m basically out $1,900 for three TVs less than 2 years old.

I bought a 65 Vizio about 6 months ago. It is a constant problem. The volume is terrible. I have to turn it up past 75 to heat anything. It kicks me out of my programming all the time. I wouldn’t recommend Vizio to anyone.

I so wish we'd have read these reviews prior to purchasing two different Vizio smart tvs - on the second one for each model as they have been nothing but trouble since we purchased. You should not have to reboot and factory reset every couple of weeks just to watch streaming content. Every two to three weeks it happens - will have worked perfectly fine the night before or even just hours before, and then it happens again. This is absurd! And when you search for solutions there are posts after posts about same issue. And even Vizio has steps/pages for same problems. Huge red flag right there! Getting ready to toss both - less than a year old - and buy a better brand. https://support.vizio.com/s/article/SmartCast-Input-Not-Loading-OK-Button-Not-Working-on-SmartCast-TV-1?language=en_US

In December of 2020 I purchased a 40 inch Vizio TV from Walmart in Birmingham, Alabama. There were white lines going across the top, returned it and purchased a 43 inch from Walmart. It did the exact same thing. Spoke to vizio. They shipped me a 3rd tv and assured me it was brand new and I would not have that problem and I shipped the 2nd tv back to them.
Two weeks later the same problem occured, Walmart is giving me the runaround and so is vizio. Vizio told me to send pictures of the tv showing the white lines and a copy of the receipt and I would receive a refund, this has been going on almost two months now. They are saying it doesn't qualify for a refund. What kind of company is this that sells defective televisions to walmart and the consumers. This company needs to be shut down and sued. Do not purchase a vizio tv from anywhere they are no good,goes to a black screen, remote does not work. A bunch of python snakes.

Do not buy Vizio products. Horrible product and horrible customer service. I purchased a Vizio V series 505-h9 from Walmart about 5-6 months ago. Very difficult to find any product information, whatsoever. Making it difficult to calibrate the tv professionally without the professional cost. I only found 1 person via YouTube who talked about the tv. Reddit and Google were not much help. I tried talking to customer service and they didn't know anything. As a result I kept basic settings until I learned more here and there. Fast forward to last month, where I discovered (and recommend) doing a white screen test via youtube on your tv to see if you have lighting issues behind the main screen.
When I did the white screen test I discovered what looked like a crack, and hair behind the main screen. I immediately requested a replacement tv. I had to wait on a response the next day. A female rep told me despite my 1 year warranty they didn't cover cracks. I asked repeatedly what did my warranty cover, she refused multiple times to answer my question. I then talked to the guy from youtube who I knew shared the same model of tv. He told me to try again. I did. I had to do the process of taking pictures and sharing them multiple times, eventually I was told I would get an advanced replacement.
Fast forward to today when the tv arrived. The box came banged up. I was nervous. I unboxed it, put in the stands, and placed the replacement tv inside of my entertainment system. Then I set the tv up, enter my settings, and did the white screen test via youtube (hoping for the best). Immediately I saw hairs behind the screen, on the screen, and found the top bezel super loose. It was so loose that I could pull the screen out and blow hairs from behind the main screen, on top of using tweezers to pull curly hairs out of the tv. It was so gross I decided I would never purchase another Vizio tv again. The fact that the replacement tv had over 15+ loose hairs on top of the super loose bezel which had black stuff fall from the loose bezel, which made me think they wear no protective head wear while assembling the tvs. It was long hair, short hair, and curly hair in the tv. Disgusting. I took to Amazon, reddit, youtube, and here to warn others.

Bought a brand new Vizio 55” smart tv on January 3rd 2020. It’s beyond ridiculous how terrible this tv is. Picture quality and sound quality are solid and that’s the ONLY good thing you can say about this thing. Remote constantly glitches out and doesn’t respond. If the screen goes dark for just a second, for any reason, like changing between apps or even for a commercial to start, there’s an annoying buzzing sound. Tv will randomly go dark. You can still pull up the menus and input choices but no matter what you can’t get anything else to pop up (Hulu, netflix, etc.) and you have to unplug it and plug it back in.
HDMI inputs often don’t work at all or will suddenly say there’s no connection and it will turn off, even if you’re currently watching something on said input. Power chord input and HDMI inputs are on opposite sides of the tv, making it harder to plug things in that don’t have 6 foot chords, which was just a stupid design choice. Over all, I would rather have a non flat screen tv from 20 years ago than ever buy another piece of ** from Vizio.

This tv constantly freezes and glitches during a movie or show. Sometimes the remote doesn’t even work on it because it freezes and I have to get up to turn it off. I never write bad reviews on products but after coming on here and seeing other people’s terrible reviews I had to add mine. Do not buy this tv... Spend the extra money on better quality.

On April 29, 2018, we bought a 65” #Vizio flat screen television from #Wal-Mart. It was a pretty big purchase so we bought the service plan so that if anything went wrong after the warranty expired, it would be paid for. Sure enough, something did go wrong. I don’t know anything about televisions, but apparently one of the LED strips has failed. The left half of the television is so dark it is impossible to see anything. We called the number for the service plan on the receipt, which is where the problems started. The phone message told us to file the claim online. We did that and then waited. We were eventually contacted by someone here in San Antonio. We set up a time for him to come to the house and look at the TV. He diagnosed the problem with the LED strip, which is great. He said that someone would be in touch with us soon to either pick up the TV and repair it or we would be able to trade in the TV at Wal-Mart for a new TV.
The next thing that happened was that we received an email saying that the claim had been resolved and that the TV had been repaired or replaced, neither of which had actually occurred. We have called the phone number for the service plan many, many times. We get the run around every single time and nothing is being done to fix the TV. It is extremely frustrating. The final upshot of this post is that you should never, ever buy the service plan when you make a major purchase from #Wal-Mart.

If you buy a 200$ TV for a little girl and the TV stops working for 2 different reasons within months of purchase, DO NOT expect it will be replaced as you’d expect with such a trash piece of equipment. Instead, you will need to have a repairman come to your house in a 2-3 hour window when you should be at work and try to fix your trash piece of equipment you just bought within the last half-year.
My piece of trash equipment I bought was a VIZIO TV and it had stopped working for two separate reasons over the last 5-6 months post-purchase. So even if there was an opportunity to repair I would rather it be replaced by equipment that hadn’t already proven itself to be trash. This was not an expensive purchase where replacement would be thousands of dollars. It was a 200$ purchase that already had broken itself twice in the 6 months we had it.
So to finalize my review: The 32” tv was total trash and didn’t last 6 months. The customer service was total trash in that you’ll need to not go to work, stay at home and wait during the 3-hour window for a repairman to come to your home during a pandemic, then hope he can either fix your twice broken trash TV in its 6-month existence and it doesn’t break down again or that he cannot fix it and they can finally replace your piece of trash 200$ new tv. 1/5 for both equipment and service.

One of the legs that hold the TV up broke into three pieces in the middle of the night. After further examination I noticed that the other leg had minor cracks in the exact same areas as well. This leaves me to suspect that they must've come like that brand new because I just purchased this tv in July. I knew Vizio was poor quality, but I did not expect the thing to just snap like that. Lesson learned.

I purchased a 32-inch Vizio TV in August. It worked for a month, then had some issues, then lost sound, and this morning, lost video. Although my warranty says that Vizio will do home repair, in fact, they do not. I have spent hours on the phone trying to arrange for a replacement and trying to troubleshoot the ailing set. This morning was the last straw when the tech person told me that in order to thoroughly troubleshoot, I would have to plug in a dvd player or a laptop. I have neither. This was the worst consumer experience I have ever had.
