VIZIO - 55" Class - LED - E-Series - 2160p - Smart - 4K UHD TV with HDR

I looked at many different model reviews and only managed to confuse the heck out of myself. For a 12x12 living room, hanging on the wall, this is all the tv we need. No sound bar needed. We just plugged in our existing TV cable, set up the remote and haven't had any problems yet. We don't use any bundled apps. Never had a reason to but if others like that stuff, there's plenty to play with. As for the price, I saw many higher and lower priced TV's. Good luck on figuring out the actual method used for pricing TV's. Write a book on it and you will be famous.

Best tv you can get for the price... It has all latest features like Dolby Vision, Local dimming zones etc for much lesser price than bigger brands. Bezel is little thick but still reasonable. Picture clarity is good and average sound. Keeping those techie things which review sites check for best TV experience (which most people never bother about) aside.. This is best TV when you are on a budget.

I loved the install from the Geek Squad..the tv looks and is working great.

You get what you play for... never been so disappointed with an electronics purchase. Rarely make it two hours without seeing a stupid blue screen. Do not buy this tv!

I'm writing this only two weeks in, but so far, I am so pleasantly surprised with this purchase. This is my first 4K TV purchase. As a member of the "geek fraternity", the only reason it has taken so long is because I was once an early adopter, and just wanted to get the most out of my $2,800 Samsung first generation 1080p 3-D television! It is still kicking and kicking very well. But, in a new house now with a few more rooms. With that said... I bought this as an open box, going by the picture quality of the 2019 edition displayed in the store..so took the gamble. I didn't want to pay huge money as this is going into an office (not primary TV viewing area). So, out of the box (which there was not a box..but factory settings), the picture needs to be calibrated for the darks. Other than that (which most will do this anyway), I am blown away by the picture quality at this price point. I know that brand new this model was closer to $700-800, but still...the last time I purchased a 55 inch TV I paid just under $3,000. In today's market, I find it so difficult to justify spending any more than $800 for a 55-inch. But, I am more of a sound freak than a picture freak (have this set up in the office with Dolby Atmos). Hope this review helps. Cheers!

The TV is a great size, with a small frame, so picture seems even bigger. Clear. Remote is somewhat cumbersome because it’s small and the buttons are cramped/too little, and no backlight, so fumbling around trying to see what you need to push is kind of annoying. If you use a newer Roku, it won’t plug into the back HDMIs because of the lip on the tv and the Roku plugin being longer than the cutout around the hdmi outlet. Had to use the outlet on the side of the tv, which wasn’t my preference, esp when it specifically says one of the ones on the back is for 4k resolution, which the new Roku is supposed to provide when the tv is capable, so I had to purchase an adapter for it to fit. Only other downside so far is that it doesn’t have a tuner, and I use a combination of streaming and local antenna tv. Spent an additional $40 on a tuner that didn’t do squat, so I returned it. Would be nice if it was just included in the tv itself. Overall, happy with the purchase so far. (Wouldn’t let me edit the nickname, which was for a previous purchase I had to return, not this tv.)

The best part of this TV sis the picture. Very clear, crisp and I Like all the customization you can do with the color/lighting/etc. Audio sucks. Tinny speakers and have to turn the volume way up to hear anything. I hooked the TV up to my 1990 JVC stereo speakers and it improved the sound 1000%. You will need a sound bar or external speakers if you want decent audio. Biggest complaint is the WiFi reception. This TV is sitting in the exact same spot as my old TV that had Apple TVz Never had any streaming problems with the Apple TV. This Vizio with Smartcast was constantly disconnecting from the WiFi. It would say it was connected in settings, but an error message would come up when trying to stream a show....especially on Netflix. I couldn’t watch an hour show without it dropping connection 2-3 times. I ended up running an Ethernet cable directly from my router to the TV and it works just fine, other than having to try and hide 25 feet of cable running through my living room. Meanwhile, the old Apple TV continues to stream via WiFi with no problems even being twice as far away from the router.

Went in with intentions of buying one of the National Brands advertised as a Holiday "Door Buster" and left with a MUCH better product for very little more! As an owner of several other Vizio products, I have always been very impressed with the Brand and the quality of their products. The "Door Buster" was another well recognized national brand but the model on sale was heavily defeatured and with the excellent assistance of the Best Buy Associate, I was able to compare features and benefits and settle on the Vizio, a much better choice! The "Smart" part of this TV works flawlessly and set-up was amazingly simple. Could not be happier with the picture or sound out of the stock TV. I opted to purchase a 5.1 Vizio Soundbar which I highly recommend! Set-up with the Vizio TV was amazingly simple and very quick! It even works with the TV Remote!
