Brought 2 65 inch 4K TVs and put em in storage for 3 months... got em out hung em on my walls and had inside screen damage, called customer service and to avoid honoring my warranty they told me that per their investigation it seemed to be physical damage and that there’s nothin they can do for me! Asked for a corporate number to complain and was put on hold for 15 min only for the representative to come back and say unfortunately they don’t have a corporate number for me to complain! Please spend the extra buck and purchase a real television! Please trust me!

Awhile back I connected my television to my WiFi network and tried logging into Facebook with it as I have done this before, only the Facebook app was no longer available. So I tried going to Vizio’s App Store only to find it wasn’t even available. I got frustrated and turned it off. A few days later I tried to go online with the TV to show a representative from Vizio what the problem was and it wouldn’t connect to my network. This really made me salty and I informed him that Basically their damn TV was now useless to me. I’m not happy about this and as of right now, I will probably never buy another Vizio product ever again. Especially after I paid more than 11 hundred dollars for this television last year. I’ve taken impeccable care of it but it still turned out to be junk!

Received a new TV and turned it on only to find the screen had lines in it. It has taken over 3 weeks so far and still have not received my refund yet. Vizio return process is a nightmare. From waiting 3 days to have UPS pick it up, and Vizio to receive TV in warehouse and get refund. Still waiting for refund... Customer service said it could take 4-6 weeks to get my money back. That is crazy!!!

I spend over $1000 last March (65" Chromecast TV) - and the audio is completely jacked - reset settings and it goes in and out - followed their instructions and it still goes in and out - no customer service whatsoever. I even took audio leveling off and it is inaudible. Not even a year old.

When I bought my first Vizio a few years ago, I researched many TVs and Vizio got really good reviews. When I bought my first one, flat screens were still expensive around $1,000 for a 42 inch. It lasted about three years and one day just went off, no sound, no picture, just a black screen. The power button lit up and that was it. A couple years later I bought another 42 inch Vizio because I had a wall mount for that TV. After two years, the new one did the exact same thing, all the sudden, a black screen, no picture, no sound. I tried that gimmick about unplugging it and holding down the power button for 10 seconds. That should tell you something right there. Meanwhile, I have two dead 42 inch Vizio TVs and will never buy another. These are disposable TVs. Don't buy one. A friend of mine has had a cheap Sharp TV for ten years and still cookin'.

I bought a Vizio 65” 4K TV 1/13/2017. On 1/16/18 the TV quit working. I called Vizio and explained my problem to them. Their reply was “Sorry, there’s nothing that can be done.” My previous TV was a Panasonic 50” Plasma which worked perfect for 10 years before selling at a G sale after upgrading to this Vizio. Prior to that we had a GE which lasted 20 years with no issues. I will never purchase another Vizio product and I will spend the rest of my life telling every person I meet what a terrible product this was with a service department to match. I’m a senior citizen and have worked hard for what I have, throwing money away on inferior products is just not an option. This is my first Vizio product and my last Vizio product.

Purchased a 50 in Vizio Smart Cast tv. Started to buffer terribly, making the TV totally unusable. Called Vizio who sent out a tech. All of the other devices, including a second Vizio tv, have good connection speed in my home. No buffering issues anywhere else in this house. All over 20 mb/S. The internet company came out and verified speeds.
The Vizio technician came out and changed the network card. The tv then worked fine for a couple of weeks and once again is buffering to the point of being useless. I called Vizio again and they want to send out a tech again while at the same time claiming that the tv is not the issue. I spent 700.00 for a TV that is a total Lemon. Has been fixed before and remains a lemon and all Vizio wants to do is send out another technician and waste more time. Apparently it’s the router's fault. Well, the tv was in the room where the router is while being fixed the first time and the speeds were still registering under 4 mb/s. This whole process is ridiculous and a total waste of time and in my opinion. A smoke screen for not wanting to replace the TV which is a total lemon.

I bought a 55 in LED smart tv three years ago. Since then the original tv had a large black line through it within the first year. They replaced that tv but the replacement tv started showing a slightly faded line through the top of the screen. I called Vizio and learned that I was supposed to purchase a separate warranty for the replacement. They offered us a small credit towards purchasing a new tv for our broken one but we decided to just deal with it. We were not going to spend any more money on this brand. Now the picture is going black as soon as you turn it on and then switching to another screen where it is grey at the top and bottom and fades to white in the middle. I was not able to have a tv last a year without screen issues and now my thousand dollar investment lasted me 3 years. The only good thing I can say is the Vizio surround sound we bought with it has worked well. Unfortunately without the tv it is useless.

I purchased two Vizio Smart TVs one year apart. The first TV is 3 years old and the second is 2 years old. I attempted to use the Netflix App, but unable to download. I contacted Vizio's IT and they were unable to rectify the problem. They referred me to "ITI" who Vizio outsources for repair problems. ITI wanted $379 per TV to repair at my home. What a rip-off. Checked the Internet and everyone is having the same issues with downloading Netflix. I checked my Internet provider and spent an hour on the phone only to find this is definitely a VIZIO problem. I would strongly suggest no one purchase the VIZIO TVs or their soundbars. The sound bar I purchased stopped working within 6 months after purchase.

Same issues as other customers. Always purchased Vizio TV’s (4) but this time there is a problem. I purchase a Vizio P65-E1 65" Class 64.5" 4K Ultra HD XLED Pro Home Theater Display new. Had picture issues. I was instructed to update the software and many other procedures. Then I contacted support and they told me they would warranty it. Vizio sent me two confirmations emails giving me all the info and Vizio was processing the return. All was explained that they would pick up and exchange at the same time in 7-10 days. After waiting almost a week I counted Vizio yet another time to find out what the process hold up because as per Vizio email they would contact me with arrangements for pick up and swap in 7-10 days. Now Vizio says they can’t process the claim, because Vizio does not have the TV in stock.
I bought this TV December 14th 2017, it’s their latest model - Vizio P65-E1 65" Class 64.5" 4K Ultra HD XLED Pro Home Theater Display. Then Vizio said I needed to send the receipt to them. I told them that I already sent the receipt. I sent a copy of the receipt and then they tell me the receipt I sent could have been typed and I needed an official receipt. I gave them the picture of the TV, TV tag too. I offered my credit card receipt but Vizio would not accept it. Then I send them another receipt and they still tell me I can’t get a replacement. They have the TV on the Vizio website in stock. Vizio says they only have so many replacement TV for warranty and they have no more left. This is a week after Vizio tells me in writing that they will replace the TV in house swap in 7-10 days.
They cannot offer a replacement just because they have stock as new, because this is a Vizio warranty and has nothing to do with the new stock they have. Unbelievable. Vizio says they can refund my money 6-8 weeks after they get the TV back. So now I will not have a TV until Vizio refunds my money 6-8 weeks later. Thanks Vizio. You lost a faithful customer after purchasing 3 TVs in the past. I will not be recommending you ever again!!

I bought a 65" Vizio smart TV in December 2016 and have had nothing but problems with the TV and the company since day 1. The TV won't turn off and constantly loses its connection to my wifi. I have a Samsung in another room so I know it's not the wifi. I've been calling Vizio tech Support for 5 months now and they keep having me do this "hard reset" which doesn't work. Today I told them I was fed up and wanted a new TV or a tech to come fix it. Their response was "sorry but it's out of the 1 year warranty now". I've never had any problems with any of the 3 Samsung TVs I own. I will never again buy a Vizio and highly recommend you don't either. The $100 you save isn't worth it!!! Junk product and a crappy company that doesn't stand behind their product. I can't say it loud enough... DON'T BUY A VIZIO TV AND DON'T DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY!!!

I have purchased two Vizio televisions in The Last 5 Years. The first was a 50-inch flat screen smart TV and about a year after purchasing it, the screen got bumped and developed a large line taking up about half of the screen and caused the picture to go black and white. I had purchased a full warranty on top of the regular warranty thru Best Buy and assumed that that covered everything according to what they told me. IT DOES NOT! They said, after the fact, that the screen is the only thing that they do not replace because it cost more to fix that than to replace the entire television itself. I accepted that perhaps I did not read the fine print and I went ahead and purchased another Vizio television which was now a 55 inch flat screen smart TV.
I noticed from the very beginning that the base was very very flimsy and the screen literally bopped back and forth if you even touched it at all (from reading online this an issue that came with all of the TVs of that generation Vizio). We decided to keep it anyway and had it for less than three years before suddenly the screen went black. The sound was still working so we had the Cable Guy come out and check all the wiring. He said that the TV was no longer working. Being that NOTHING had happened to it whatsoever, I feel that just under 3 years of usage is not sufficient for a TV that we paid $600 for! I will never purchase this brand again, and I recommend that others are cautious in their purchases.

Similar experience as others, Vizio LED M55D0, bought in 2016 and in less than one year (under warranty), it started bleeding on one corner and then problems developed with display and eventually black screen. Called Vizio. Had to send picture of TV with sales receipt. Vizio said a replacement TV will be sent in 7 to 10 days, it could be a reconditioned, or used one but may not be new. It's now 21 days and no TV. Calls to Vizio is of no use, they just tell me to wait or call the delivery company. Called delivery company several times, they took my number and have not called back. Repeated calls to Vizio get the same answer, fortunately have recorded all the calls.
Will contact the BBB and Attorney Generals Office. Moral of story is don't buy Vizio despite their "American based support staff". It's a waste to throw the hard earned money after this product especially now that they are made in China and their support staff are rude, a simple "Sorry for your troubles, we are doing all we can" would have sufficed.

I started this on Monday. I've talk to five different associates all telling me what it could be but felt it was my Internet issue. That television pretty much been around United States. Talking to people. I had to make the calls and get back to them. Take time out to help solve this issue and now I'm waiting on them. We'll see. I should've kept the warranty plus through Target.

I am a TV repair technician, and I get called to repair Vizio TVs a lot. Vizio TVs go bad very often due to terrible build quality and manufacturing defects. I wouldn’t care too much, since it gives me plenty of work, except that the build quality is so pathetic, that when you remove the back cover of a Crappio/Vizio, there is a huge risk of damaging the brittle back cover and pissing off a customer. Brittle and cheap build materials are not the only problem... Another problem is the fact that there are hardly any replacement parts available for Vizios.
Since they break down so common, there is a huge shortage of new parts for them... So when I order a new part, there is a 65% chance that it is a defective recycled part from some other set. Vizio TVs are a nightmare for both consumers and repair technicians. Know that Vizio is not some cheap Chinese crap, it’s actually an American company! We produce crappier stuff than the Chinese. Absolutely pathetic.

Vizio 32" - Black screen within 3 months. Had to wait 6 days for a tech coming in with parts. Changed parts and still same black screen. Waited another 8 days for a empty box to send them the TV to them, got the empty box however, the box was for wrong TV so it does not fit. Called them again, offer to spend my own money to wrap it professionally and send it to them - NO. That is the answer I got, now I have to wait another 8/9 days to get the correct size box to send the TV to them. Once they get the TV, if only I get the correct box this time, they will send me a replacement TV. So by the time I will have my TV replaced will be another 15/16 days if that happens!!! Already, it has been 2 weeks so one month wait. This is with under warranty!!! Now imagine, no warranty!!!

Just like the many other reviews on this TV, we started have banding and dark spots appear after about a year and a half. I contacted Vizio and they said it was most likely a backlight failure and would be too costly to repair. Since the tv was out of warranty they said tough luck, electrical components fail. I would definitely not recommend anybody spend the money on an upper end Vizio TV unless you don’t mind a $2000 disposable television.

Our first Vizio was approximately 2 years old when it would freeze then it would shut off and would not turn back on! I called a Vizio repair person, they wanted over $200 to just walk into our house! But I had a warranty on the TV so that repairman came out. There was no fixing the TV so they ordered us a new Vizio. That was 1 year ago, so far we have had no issues. But the product does not seem to be quality or long lasting. Plus their customer service is about non existent. When I buy a new TV it will not be a Vizio!

I purchased a new TV - VIZIO 48 Class home theater display E48u-DO January 2017. Worked just fine until two weeks ago when I updated the SmartCast to the latest version. Now I have a fuzzy picture when I change the channel, the screen becomes a noisy and snowy. I contacted the VIZIO customer service - phone number: 888-849-4623. I was informed that VIZIO is aware of this problem. Apparently, some of their "smart TVs" are not compatible with some of the cable boxes. They could not dismantle the version I loaded, nor could they tell me when it will be fixed. Every time I change channels, I must turn the TV on and off or run it through the inputs to come back to the one for the cable. Really, not good. I have given them two weeks and then I will contact the attorney general in Mn to file a complaint against the company. This is not acceptable.

I bought an E series 55 inch smart LED in February 2016. 2 months ago, after a year and a half of owning the TV, the screen formed 3 identical black circles on the bottom of the panel and then bled straight lines vertically up the panel. Blatant panel failure. They extended the one year warranty on other models for the exact same issue. I got a hold of customer service to see if they would extend me the same courtesy. After 3 weeks of 7 different employees telling me that it was physical damage I gave up. If it were physical damage the 3 circles and lines would not be identical. Not even a little bit. No cracks, nothing. The set sat stationary for the year and a half that I owned it.
I don’t know how some people rave about Vizio’s customer service. I guess it’s a lottery. I work in the electronics repair field and I will not purchase anything with the Vizio name on it ever again and I certainly will not tell any of my customers to buy a Vizio product. Spending 600 bucks on a Vizio TV to only get a year and a half of operation from it is awful. Do not buy Vizio unless you’re into basically renting a piece of garbage until it breaks just out of warranty.

We purchased a Vizio 70" M70-D3 M Series TV 1 year and 3 weeks ago. We noticed today that half of the screen is dark. I called Vizio, they state it is 3 weeks out of warranty and that's it. We paid $1,900 for the TV and it lasted 12 months. When the LED's go out, the TVs are not able to be fixed. Therefore, we are just out. They did offer us a discount on another TV. They offered us a 70" E-series TV (which is a lower grade model) for the same price that Best Buy is currently offering it---so no actual discount. We bought this TV because Vizio seems like a good product for the money and a good value. However, if their products only last 12 months, it's no longer a good value.

I bought a 70” Vizio smart television three years ago. It was a smart tv that I bought for the purpose of live-streaming. It worked fine for two years and then it started downloading slower and slower. My internet speed went from 3MB/sec to 15MB/sec and my other smart tv works fine with worse WIFI signal than the 70” Vizio. Also, the volume will drop very low for no reason at all. I have to switch channels and then switch back to get the volume to come back up again. I know it isn’t the channel because it even does it with the DVD player, only then, I push pause and then play to get the volume to come back up.
I paid over $1,800 for the tv and it is only three years old. Yet now, I will have to buy another television because this one is already going bad. I will never buy another Vizio product again. BTW, customer service was no help and said my warranty ran out (only good for a year) and they have no firmware to fix it. They would not listen to me when they kept saying it was a slow internet. I have proven, with speed tests and with other products that the internet speed is NOT the problem. The reason for this review is to warn others. Expect a Vizio to not last long.

The unanimous decision was that it was a faulty TV. Everything else as working just fine, but the TV would not even power on manually. It was a piece of junk, a lemon.
I contacted Vizio who wanted pictures, proof of purchase, etc which I sent immediately. They refused to help me. Just kept asking for more information, when they had all the proof they needed and should have apologized and replaced the TV, which was all I was asking, and they refused. Will never purchase or recommend another Vizio product - ever again. Such jerks! Do they really expect us to buy a new TV every year. My last TV lasted 10 years! Is this what TVs have come to (cheap quality, expensive price that only last a year or less). Really? If so, I guess I will forgo a TV altogether and stream everything. I refuse to purchase a TV once a year!

Purchased a Vizio 50 inch 4k UHD tv in January of this year 2017. On October 13th my wife and I were watching tv and out of the blue we notice a thin black stripe on the tv from top to bottom. So I think it's ok, still under warranty. So I contact Vizio customer service and they ask me to take a pic and send it to them, so I did. Next day Vizio writes to inform me that I had broken the tv and that the warranty is void. Really at a loss for words, never again will I purchase a Vizio product.

I purchased a Vizio 60 inch for $748 and less than 2 years there is a black shadow in the left hand top corner. I called Vizio and they said it was economically irreparable that the light went out. I purchased this type of TV and the not the other type for that reason that the bulb/light would not fail within a few years. It is mounted on the wall and hardly used. Vizio offered only $148 discount off another Vizio same size. Why would I purchase another one? I have other Vizios as well and had to call about one of them because I had trouble turning it off/on. I will never purchase another Vizio product.

I usually don't give reviews but I also never had such a problem with a product. Purchased this 70 inch TV model E701i-A3E for around $1500. It hangs on the wall rarely ever touched except for occasional dusting. It lasted less than 4 years, just stopped showing a picture but projects sound perfectly. Contacted Vizio, “Sorry you’re not under warranty.” Contacted Walmart about the extended warranty we purchased, “Sorry but it ran concurrent with the manufacturer’s warranty.” In what world do we live in that a $1,500 television last less than 4 years? I may even understand if there was a lot of wear and tear. I have a 42 inch Panasonic TV that is my main TV and it’s been working for 10 years without any issues. Vizio wouldn't even refer me to a repair person stating it would be cheaper just to buy another television. Well it sure won't be a Vizio!!!

I wish I could give this 0 stars. I purchased a 60 inch Vizio television less than 2 years ago and the entire left side began to go black. The picture was horrid and you can only see half the TV. I called Vizio and their customer service was atrocious. They claim that with any product there is a risk of malfunction and since I was outside of the 1-year warranty there is nothing they can do. According to Vizio it is more expensive to fix than it is to purchase a new TV. So we are out of luck with their product that barely lasted 2 years and they could care less. Never again will I purchase a Vizio product.

I went to Sam's Club and paid $3,500 for a 70" Vizio Television. Had it for about 2 years and the screen went black. I heard Vizio had some recalls on their televisions, so I called and ask if they could help. They told me the best they could do is recommend a repair service in my area and I could pay for it myself. They wouldn't stand behind their product at all but they kept telling me how important their customer satisfaction was to them. I imagine it's only a power board and could be fixed pretty easily. I don't even want it in my house. I am going to buy a Sony and should have bought one in the first place. Live and learn. My 70" will be out by the curb if anyone wants to pick it up and have it fixed. It will probably work for at least a year.

I purchased a brand new Vizio TV about 2 years ago. Today I had no picture so I called, even though the customer service was friendly, they did barely anything to fix the situation. I was offered a discount on a new TV for which I found a better model in the same price. When confronted about this, they told me the price was fair and that's all they could do for a TV that didn't even last 2 full years! I'm extremely unsatisfied with this product and experience.

Called and they came out and fixed it. Cool. I have TV again. Then noticed that the WiFi portion of the TV kept dropping the signal. I thought wtf.
So I called again and this time was told there was nothing they can do for that. And to check my internet router. So I bought a new router. The best one I could find. And still this P.O.S. dropped signal. My laptop sure did not drop signal. Just this raggedy ** P.O.S. TV did. So I put it on Craigslist and sold it with the warranty. I never have looked back.

We purchased the VIZIO 65" on December 3, 2015, for my retirement. My husband worked at Super Walmart as a merchandise stocker. He was given the opportunity to work THANKSGIVING DAY for Walmart and receive a percentage off gift certificate for anything in the store. We decided that a new VIZIO television was what we wanted. We purchased the TV and considered it a wonderful and worthwhile purchase especially since I was retiring. We expected that this TV would last well into our retirement. On September 15, 2017, while the TV was on it suddenly, without warning completely shut off and went completely dead and does not power up at all. There was no noise, pop, or tap.
We contacted VIZIO regarding this incident and have been told by the technical support team that this is a common problem with VIZIO TV's and they are well aware of it. They suggested a couple of useless fixes and then said it was outside their authority to fix. I would never purchase another VIZIO product and would advise anyone looking to purchase one to check the website for product quality and their technical support and follow up.

My low scoring of this company and its electronics are appalling, especially when it comes to the amount of money you pay and the actual picture quality. I’m seeing a lot of consumers having technical issues like I have been and are dumbfounded by this. The picture screen I have when watching a local station, will go black and you CAN hear the sound, but when you change the channel to the next one, then back, it corrects itself.
I have noticed from using cable and/or the inside and outside UHF/VHF Antenna that the picture quality is VERY bad. I even had severe pixelation and at the time was on Comcast, yet the woman I spoken to noticed it, yet I had to EXPLAIN it clearly that when they did the installation, the OUTSIDE, COAX cable line from the HOUSE to the POLE was damaged from a previous severe storm that went through the area a few months ago, yet they NEVER replaced it and I told the customer service rep. this and asked WHY it wasn't replaced in the first place when I’m paying $200.00 per month on internet and cable tv service.
They finally came out and replaced the line after getting on them for the past 8 months. It’s part of THE installation process and ALWAYS make sure it DOES get done. Also, you must for future reference, check those coax cables that are IN house, because, if the line coming into your home isn't new, there is one possible problem.
Make sure there are noise filters on each line coming in, because if they use coax splitters, which they do, it’s best to put a noise filter away from the TV, best from the pole to the house, meaning they put an outside box to store out of the way, your cables, BUT if it’s close to a POWER meter, it CAN affect your signal coming in, especially if you have Smart meters on your house hold electrical service. They CAN affect your signal from electromagnetic pulse waves. If you CAN hear your transformer on the outside pole, hum, they its generating a magnetic force field. If you have any of these issues in which I have, except the Smart meters, get top quality SHIELDED coax cables and run them ALL through the house, up to the splitter. Keep all cables away from electrical wires.
I still to this day haven't gotten my TV fixed from tech support, yet it’s been an ongoing issue. I once had an LG 32" TV and I did like the fact IT had a HEAD PHONE jack. Excellent for putting on those head phones and turning up the volume without having to disturb others, in WHICH this VIZIO DOESN'T have, yet the 32" and smaller TV's do, WHY NOT? I had to revert back to the antenna and the UHF/ VHF and thought clear TV would be great, NOT so, unless you have a lot of coax cable and time to move around the house like with the rabbit ears to find a good signal, it’s best to get one that IS outside. Do your research on the TV's you buy, because its might look great, but if the SALES person can't answer your tech questions, you best do a 180 degree turn out the door, or find someone who DOES know about the products. In the future, I won't be buying this product again.

When I asked Justin if I could speak with someone with more authority, he said that he was the end of that line. I will never buy another Vizio product again.

To start I'd like to say that I realize the Vizio brand is priced low for a reason. I do not expect my ownership experience to be the same as if I had purchased a high-end brand television. I do however expect to get more than 2 years of use from a $700 television set of ANY brand name. We bought a 60 inch Vizio in June of 2015. It's now July of 2017 and 3 of the 12 LED strips have failed on it. After researching this issue I have discovered that this is a common problem on Vizio televisions. This led me to take a closer look at my family's entire Vizio television collection.
We have purchased 6 Vizio televisions at various points in time over the last 10 years. After inspection, it was clear that the newer the set is, the more issues it had. Interestingly enough, 2 of the sets are over 7 years old now and have no, zero, none, nada problems. One of those sets is on it's 3rd remote now and is by far the most used television in our home. It used to be we could buy a Vizio and know that you got a good (not great) product for a good price. That is clearly not the case anymore. So for us, the Vizio brand name goes into the cheap brand pile and We'll never even consider buying another.

I would not say I laughed, maybe chuckled when I read some of the comments because they were pretty much identical to my experience. I bought a 65" Vizio TV and after 11 months it stopped turning on. Ok, that's fine, it's under warranty. I called, went through the fun that is power cycling and a few other steps that did nothing to remedy the problem. The representative said they would be sending someone out to "fix" the TV. I was a little surprised, I was expecting to be told to go back to where I bought it to swap it out. I was told no, that is not how their warranty works.
So, they send someone out a week or so later, mind you the TV is not working, and that person says they have completed the repair. Two days later after the "fix" the TV will not turn on and after power cycling it a few times it actually does turn on but now there are a bunch of squiggly lines, approximately a foot high in the middle of the screen that go from one side to the other. I again contacted customer service and again go through the power cycle and a few other things fun. Nope, not helping, and I noticed while doing this the person that repaired the TV damaged the outer casing trying to pry it off. So not only did they not fix it, they caused an additional problem and damaged the TV. Ok, customer service says they will send out a new TV, should arrive in 7-10 business day. Once again it is not an option to bring it back to where it was purchased to swap out for a new one.
So I receive an email that the new TV order has been processed and will arrive in 7-10 days. We get to day 7 and no updated tracking, nothing. Contact customer service, am told "that's odd, let's find out what happened. Not sure what happened but it should still arrive within the 7-10 days." In cutting this story short it arrived on business day 14, or in normal people terms, three weeks later. Customer service said there was a communication problem and they would correct that going forward.
Oh, I also found out that the "new" TV I received was actually a "re-certified" TV, meaning someone had returned it for whatever reason. Ok, they lied about that, but rest assured, it had under gone a rigorous 21 point inspection. Jump ahead two weeks. Turn the TV on and there are white lines across the middle of the TV, about a foot tall, going from one side to the other and the remote has stopped working. Contact customer service... again. Power cycle nonsense... again. Not doing anything... again. "Ok, we will send out yet another TV, which you will receive in 7-10 business days. This time we promise it will be a new TV, not re-certified." So here we are, business day 5 and the TV hasn't even been picked up by the freight company, which makes me think I am probably not going to receive my third TV within the 7-10 business days... again.
The only reason I have not just went out and bought a new TV is because this is a warranty issue that needs to be made right. Now they are shipping out a third TV, again cost of shipping and TV. This third TV may or may not work, my guess is the latter. It also made me think this company is not run very well. Think about the costs involved - they sent out someone, at their cost, to repair the original TV. That didn't work and actually made things worse. They expedited shipping on the second TV because they cannot communicate with a shipper, so that is shipping cost plus the cost of a TV. I would guess that they have spent over $2,000 on this warranty issue.
Now compare that to just having me to back to the store where I bought it. I run to the store (no shipping cost) and get a TV that will probably last more than two weeks. I would recommend spending a little bit more for a Samsung or a Sony, it will save you a lot of headaches. I made the mistake of wanting to save a little bit of money and now I am paying for it.

The picture is consistently clear and the remote is not complicated to operate which is important to me as I am technically challenged. Overall a very good quality television for the price.

Excellent TV; not a problem yet in almost around-the-clock use since December 2015 through April 2017 (so far). Has required no adjustment, and the picture has been great with Cox Cable, as well as Fire Box and others. Great color and clarity. The only negative feature is that it projects the sound back behind it. We added a sound bar that corrected the problem of it "booming" into a bedroom on the other side of the wall while being relatively subdued in the den where it is watched; and that was an additional $150 solution, made by another company. If the sound projected to the front of the unit instead of behind it, it would be perfect.

After two years, the Vizio went on the blink. For a while, I could do the reset: unplug the TV from the electrical outlet, hold "on" button for ten seconds then it would come on again. This worked for about three nights. Now the TV will not come on, therefore, I decided it's time for the recycle bin. You get what you pay for and I realized this when I purchased the Vizio. No more Vizio for me. Before you buy, check the ratings. I would not purchase a Vizio unless it's for a child room or your college student because the Vizio will probably last as long as two years based upon my experience.

For this price category, you can't go wrong with Vizio products. You can't beat the value with Vizio. They give you optimized features and quality for this price point. They are top notch and I have no complaints, no issues. Ever. To have expectations beyond what they deliver is not fair or realistic-- for the top of the line features, you would have to enter the next price bracket. And I have purchased 5 Vizio TVs and three sound bars. No regrets. They all still operate like new, even at 5 years old. They are TVs-- they change every few months. I know there are 'newer' and enhanced features in the market-- always are. Have no motivation to make a change and personal finances are such that could buy any TV in the market-- but not a "viewing experience fanatic" where I would chose to pay ridiculous prices for televisions. They hover just below that price point-- and I pick them every time.

When I originally purchased my Vizio TV for $350. 1 1/2 years ago I couldn't get it to connect via WIFI to play Netflix all the time. It would go in and out. So because I only had the one tv at the time I decided to just connect it directly to the router. I thought it was the internet provider I was using at the time. I have since moved home and we already have a TV connected directly to the router in our living room. I thought I would connect mine via Wi-Fi in my bedroom. It can't find any networks. After calling customer support and having them walk me through a few steps, he told me I had a bad WIFI card. He also said I was out of warranty. This was frustrating since I didn't really get to use it yet. What a waste of a TV. He told me he could send someone out to fix it at my expense. I explained that it wouldn't be cost effective since you can almost purchase a new one nowadays at a reasonable price.
I told him I wasn't happy and bit frustrated about the situation... but instead of understanding, he decided to argue with me. Scolding me and telling me that I should've called earlier. Well duh, I would've if I had known it wasn't going to work, since it was connected straight to the router, how was I to know. He continued to argue and finally I said, "Listen... you are in customer/support service. You really need to be a bit more professional than to just argue with your customers. He argued that he wasn't arguing. It was crazy. I may not like the answer he gave me and expressed my dissatisfaction with the product but that was it. I didn't need to be out the product and then argued with and scolded about how I should've called earlier. Not only am I upset and frustrated with the product but now also with the support customer service. I will never buy another VIZIO product again.

So this is my brand new refurbished TV that took three weeks to get to my home. Then I've been without any TV unable to access my baseball package, also unable to stream $200 worth of concerts that I just paid for until this morning when this one arrived. Within two hours of receiving this refurbished replacement television this is what my screen looks like now. We have contacted customer service at Vizio and even went above the first gentleman we were talking to. They have left us with not many options and waiting another 7 to 10 business days and then another two weeks to have the TV delivered as the delivery company takes two weeks as well. When people do this to people they should be compensated immediately. They should call the local Best Buy that is two blocks from my home and buy me a new television that I can install right now.
They are refusing to do any of this. I am out several hundred dollars in things that I have paid for to watch as well as my time and aggravation that I have had to put up with all of this. Like I said no one at Vizio is willing to help us in a timely manner. This is ridiculous and I am going to post this everywhere I can about Vizio. The customer service is not about their customers and it's unfortunate that I have purchased four of their televisions starting in 2008. They all still work but they are mounted to walls and other locations in my home including my guest home so I cannot watch TV unless I'm laying in my bed or I'm out in my guest house that is 120 degrees because it is basically summer here in Phoenix and the reason for not taking care of my problem is because of their "policies".
Needless to say at this point I will never buy another Vizio product and when these units are refurbished. They are supposedly better than a brand new TV because they have been gone through a thorough check by one person rather than going down the assembly line. Apparently it was a Friday when the person that inspected this one did such. We know that a company has largest. Vizio could easily call my local Best Buy and buy me a brand new television right now but they refused to do that. They want me to suffer for another three weeks to give me another piece of junk TV that has been refurbished. I am astonished by their lack of care towards their customers especially a 4 time customer. I'm sure they will remove this post but I hope someone sees it and it stops them from buying their products... Miserably hot in Phoenix with no baseball, no TV, no concerts that I paid $200 for and no solutions for these issues. Way to go Vizio!!!

I was placed on hold and then told I just needed to purchase a new TV directly through them for a discounted rate. They do not repair screens. When asked why I was not told that from the beginning, I was told I did not tell them the screen was cracked. My response was what was the original call for then. They said there was something wrong with picture. At this point, I was furious and did not want to argue any further.
I call back, of course speaking with someone different and in a complete different state, and was given the option to call an outside company for an estimate to repair the screen. Completely different information was given. I will never buy another Vizio simply because the product is not worth anything. I have wasted well over $200 and nothing can be done with the TV.
