Side by Side Comparison of: VIZIO vs LG

Easy setup, once my internet was working properly, i had to restart my router. Everything fell into place. I want to just stay home and watch Amazon Pride movies. If you have HBO you may feel cheated, cause you get some HBO movies with your Prime Membership. This television is beautiful. Once your smart tv is set everything falls into place with all the add ons.

Very Good Set and Affordable. Amazon has (on the remote) an access button for Amazon direct link to their website. The remote control does take some getting use to but offers many menu choices and set up cues. Picture quality (like most sets now) is good. This set allows TINT adjustment whereas many 2015 TV's no longer let the user correct Tint. Sound is fair but does offer output for speakers. The built in Smart TV also is good and works well and offers many choices (by pressing the "V" button) on the remote - which can only be accessed by having wifi in your home, office or business. One fatal flaw is no built in guide when using Over the Air digital channels. The info for program is limited to the station you are tuned to. No guide what so ever.The installed apps are: (most are pay subscriptions) However some are free :Netflix / Amazon Instant Videos/ iHeart Radio/Vudu Movies & TV / Hulu Plus / Pandora / Spotify / Twitter / Yahoo News/ Yahoo Fantasy Football / Yahoo News / Yahoo Screen / Revision 3/ B Music/ iFood.Tv / HotList Web Videos /Multimedia / Ebay / Yahoo Weather / Flix Fling / Flicker / Crackle / Yahoo Finance/ Fandango / Yahoo Sports / Tune In / Facebook / and Plex. There are firmware and updates that Amazon and Vizeo will provide for this TV.The semi-gloss screen can be an issue if there is bright light or shadowing from light sources. Some Televisions are completly glossy as well as laptops so this is something to consider when thinking about a new set. For Streaming Video YOUR internet connection speed must be 1.5 Mbps and higher.An Ethernet cable can be connected to the back of the set. Power supply from the TV is to YOUR right of the set (facing the TV) the connections for plug in devices and inputs are to the left of the TV . There are 2 HDMI inputs and 1 USB as well as your Component and Composite inputs.

I am very pleased with the picture quality and overall build quality. The overall build is made with plastic but the plastic is a hard plastic that has a smooth clean texture. The TV (40 inch) has 200x200 mm mounts that work perfectly for a tripod mount, though it does not come with screws, they can be bought for around 4 USD (M6-1 Thread Size, 12 mm Length). Picture quality is sharp and the customization for colors is nice. Blacks are dark and colors blend well together. I highly recommend looking at guides on color accuracy to improve your watching experience on rting.com. I believe this was rated the best budgets TV in the 40-50 inch range for 2015 compared to other major brands. I definitely agree with that.

My review is a non technical one for people who just want to know if this is worth the hard earned dollars. I really wanted a 4k TV, but after doing a ton of research I decided that while 4k is amazing, it just didn't justify the huge jump in price. If budget isn't an issue then skip this TV. I've had this for 2 days and it is one of 4 in my home. The first thing I love about it is the picture. It is crystal clear. You can easily adjust the settings to optimize based on the room you're in. Once you have it the way you like it you can sit back and enjoy. I tested the picture by going through various types of shows and movies. No pixelation or any noticeable issues. The remote is nice and simple with 3 extra buttons for Amazon Prime movies, Netflix, and iHeart Radio which is awesome. I tested these services and again the picture was awesome. I have a 150Mb wireless connection so the streaming was flawless.I checked out the sound next. I don't ever recommend using only TV speakers, but this was adequate. Not bad, not great. I have since hooked up an old Bose 321 system and it's perfect. Get an inexpensive sound bar and you'll be happy.The only minor flaw for me is the width. It's decent plus I watch it from the front not the side but it would have been nice to have a thinner profile.Lastly I must mention the delivery service. This was as good as it gets. You schedule a day and time slot. They call as they are coming to which was nice. There were 2 men that carried the TV into my house. They unboxed it, put on the legs (I'm not mounting this on the wall), put it exactly where I wanted it, then removed the box and all packing material and took it with them. Just awesome.Overall I don't think you can get a better TV and delivery service for the money. A high end 65" 1080p TV with a 240 refresh rate? Come on now. Enjoy!UPDATE: Now that I've had the TV for a few weeks I can say it is really one of the top I've owned. Again, while not 4k, the picture is outstanding. Blacks are deep, and no pixelation, stutter, or any issues at all. I'm very happy with this purchase, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find any TV of this quality for this price. Hope this helps.

One thing i like that is and improvement over the previous generation is the fact that the Netflix, I heart radio and Amazon buttons work as power button also. The remote control designed in wonderful! TV picture is great.

Awesome TV! Great picture. Awesome veiwing angle. This TV is huge! The remote doesn't have a qwerty keyboard like the m-series remotes, but that's fine. I didnt really need it anyways. The stand or legs of this TV are far apart. If your going to stand this TV up on a TV stand or something, the stand needs to be at least 4.5 feet long.

I purchased this refurbished from VIPOUTLET for $140. This is not a 5 star HDTV, but considering the price I purchased it at, this was a great deal. I am using this in the bedroom and it suits that purpose perfectly. I have read many people have had issues with the sound not being loud enough. I think the volume goes up around 60 and I usually place it at 12 or 13. I don't know if that was part of the refurbish process but volume has not been an issue for me. Some frequencies tend to resonate strangely and make undesired noises (even with the bass turned down,) this has only happened an a couple of occasions though when the volume was a little higher than I generally set it to.The resolution is only 720 but on a 32" screen the average viewer can't tell the difference between 720 and 1080. When the picture is entirely black and the blu-ray player is in the process of starting up, the corners/edges of the screen emit a white/orange light. This does not occur when the screen is entirely black while viewing content. Picture quality is very good even while streaming content. This is not a smart tv but I paired it with a blu-ray player that has wifi and apps: Sony BDPS3700. Together, they make a relatively inexpensive and satisfying setup. I am very pleased with my purchase but I would not pay more than $200 for this item.

I love this tv! It has a beautiful crystal clear picture and was the perfect size for my bedroom. It has a sleep timer setting which is essential for me. It does not have the traditional red, yellow, and white connections for older components but it does have directions on how to connect those components through the red, blue, and green ports. It only has enough for one component though. By following the directions I was able to hook up my old nintendo 64 console to this tv but everything else has to be hdmi.

I really love this TV. The only weird thing I've encountered is when I first got the TV, I was watching a lot of Hulu and for some reason, the sound would glitch out on me and make a buzzing noise whenever the show would come back on from the commercials. But it's gone now and I haven't had any other problems with Hulu or any other apps on it. Really great picture and sound and I love all of the different display options for this TV. Huge improvement from the tiny television I had before. LG products never disappoint.

Before purchasing this TV for my guest bedroom I read the reviews and was hesitant to purchase it. Some of the reviews mentioned this TV was not easy to assemble and that the volume was low, I couldn't disagree more! I assembled it myself in less than 10 minutes and then I called Dish for tech support to help me connect, it was a breeze! I had to adjust the volume to #12 setting because it was too loud. I am very happy with the picture, sound and the ease of assembling it. I think the only negative comment I have was with the UPS driver who left this package by my front door out in the open and I didn't get notified about the delivery until 8pm.

Great TV for my small living room. I am not a tech guru when it comes to TV's, but here is what I have noticed after several weeks of using this TV:Pros: crystal clear picture; headphone jack - which I use a lot; easy to use settings; very light (if you need to move it - I had a 28" Sharp TV a while back that was twice as heavy); easy to install stand; speakerphones are surprisingly clear for such a small TV; three HDMI ports - using one for ROKU 2 and one for cable TV; fits on my IKEA shelves. And probably more that I cannot think of, and probably much more that is technical that I am not really into. :-)Cons: none that I have noticed.I am enclosing three pictures, though the pictures do not fully show how clear the TV picture is.Highly recommended for small spaces.

Love this TV!! Bright picture and sound is great. Size is fabulous compared to price (could NOT find this quality for same price). I have had this TV for 9 days and have ZERO complaints. Yay!!

When I received the TV, it worked for one day and then wouldn't turn on anymore. I skipped calling Amazon (I bought this TV from Amazon Warehouse) and went straight to VIZIO in hopes that the TV was still under warranty. Fortunately for me, it was under warranty and they paid for a local repairman to come to my house and fix it. The TV now works as if it was brand new. The only reason I give it four stars was because it was broken upon arrival. Aside from my initial hiccup, I love this TV and would recommend it for the price.

Picture on this set looks great and the input lag is low for playing games (when set to game mode) which is what I bought it for. the sound can be difficult to hear unless turned up quite a bit so I usually turn on a stereo to make up for it--this was a known issue going in so I can't complain too much about it.The apps seem a little clunky/underpowered/laggy; they take longer than I'd like to boot and if I, for example, start a YouTube video on my iPad and stream it to the TV it will launch the YouTube app, hesitate for a moment like it's going to play the video then load the standard interface like I just launched the app on the TV. Pushing play on the iPad again will show a pop-up w/ a play button which will then play the video on the TV--kinda weird behavior, but a minor inconvenience.

This is a great TV without a doubt, picture quality is very good especially after you tweak it a bit. A great feature is the audio digital out which delivers bitstream regardless of source so the receiver can decode whatever comes in. My [more expensive] Samsung cannot do this and delivers only PCM or DTS:Neo for the apps like Netflix etc.Having the 2 feet make it more stable for such a big screen if you dont wall mount and the small frame looks really good. The remote is not the best with no backlight and squishy buttons but I used a Harmony universal remote anyway so no biggie for me. I got this for a family member and wish I had kept this one and given them the Samsung which says it all really.

This TV worked great, for 2 days. Then it just started freezing after you start it and try to execute any menu commands. I called customer service (Vizio) and the troubleshooting steps verified that it was defective. No repairs or replacement options are available for this model, so they've told me I have to send them pictures proving the TV freezes (aren't all pictures frozen?) along with proof of purchase and they'll let me know what's next. I'll update the post once I learn more.My primary mistake: I tossed the box to the TV after a couple of days of it working. If I hadn't, maybe I could have just returned it through the more friendly Amazon method :(**Update: After awaiting a promised call from Vizio that never came, i contacted them and they instructed me to mail them the TV back for a refund . No prepaid shipping or anything. I decided to call Amazon and they were brilliant. Replaced the TV and provided return labels for the busted one!My replacement hasn't had any issues. I suspect that my original froze when I connected it to my PC via the Plex app to use it as a media server. I didn't set that up on my replacement TV and haven't had any issues. That may not have been the cause, but I thought I'd share in case it helps anyone.**12/2015 UPDATE**So far, no issues with the replacement TV. I watch Hulu, Netflix, Amazon VOD, Crackle and even movies off of my USB drive (MP4 format) and haven't had any issues. Bumped the rating up to 4 stars now. Still can't give 5 because of the poor customer support from Vizio.**12/2016 UPDATE**Still using the TV and it works great. Someone on YouTube found a fix for my original issue, which involves resetting the TV's network card, but i haven't needed it. Really love being able to play movies off of a flash drive!

I've had this television for about a week now, and all in all, it's definitely a worthwhile purchase. But with all its pros come some cons. So let's break this package down, and take a look at why you should buy this TV if you're in the market for a thirty-two-inch, and why you should be prepared to not completely love it.First, the pros--1. This television's wireless. No Roku, no Chromecast, no Fire TV needed. You just open up the settings, find your network, plug in your password, and...voila. You're ready to be disappointed by the latest season of Orange is the New Black.2. This television has a native refresh rate of one-hundred-twenty hertz, with a simulated refresh of--I think--two-forty.That's not something you see in a lot of thirty-two inch budget sets. Most sit at around sixty hertz, which is fine if you'd like to pretend you're living in 1847, but this modern America, dagnabit. I want my one-hundred-twenty hertz of smooth motion goodness, and I'm not settling for anything less. And speaking of picture quality...3. It's 1080p. Says it right in the title, but I thought I'd remind you in case you'd forgotten already.4. It's cheap! And I don't mean cheap in terms of build-quality. That's actually pretty good, which I'll elaborate on in my next point. No, when I say cheap, I mean most sets with these specs at this size would be going for AT LEAST a hundred dollars more. And even most of the ones sitting at THAT price range will be trading off for either 720p or sixty hertz to keep the price down. What Vizio's offering here is an amazing deal, and Amazon's sweetened the pot with an extra ten dollars off for Prime members. Even Costco isn't selling them that cheap. Then again, you can't pick up a hot dog and a drink for a dollar-fifty while you're on Amazon. Or at least, you shouldn't.5. The build quality--it's actually pretty good.6. The smart menu's easy to access, unobtrusive, and looks about as good as a smart menu can look.Okay, now, on to the cons--1. The smart menu feels a little cluttered. It's got a lot of apps most people won't need, and despite an admittedly short time playing with it, I have yet to figure out how to remove the ones I don't use.2. For having such great specs, the picture quality on this TV doesn't blow me away the same way my fifty does or my old forty. I'm not sure why that is--maybe it's a setting I've missed--but that realism just isn't there to the same degree.3. It's thick. Not huge, mind you, but thicker than some of its counterparts. Did this bother me? No. But for some, I know, thickness is a big factor, either for practical reasons or bragging rights. Because, you know...that's a thing, I guess.4. There's no digital audio out. There's optical, sure, because that's the future. And there's RCA, because...that's the past? But my RS-160s are located in the present, and they operate on digital. Now, this obviously isn't a HUGE deal, since you can spend thirteen dollars to convert your optical to digital, or spent four and change on some RCA adapters, but if you use headphones or a sound system reliant on a digital audio out port, be sure you order some kind of adapter to get it working with this set right out of the box. Because apparently, RCA's still a big deal, but your headphones are a thing of the past.In conclusion, this is an amazing deal for a great TV, and despite some very minor flaws, I'd recommend this to anyone looking to spruce up their dorm room, bedroom, office, or studio with a sleek budget television.

I purchased this set on tuesday and after a few days I am going to do a short review. I will update next week after I have had more time with the settings.Overall it is a very good set. Picture is great, features are great and it looks awesome mounted on my wall. I like the minimal design, I like the minimal remote as well, even though most people seem to be upset there isn't a keyboard. The only function button on the TV itself is a small power button on the rear of the set, near the HDMI ports, for turning it on and off. I am fine with that, as I have several remotes that program and I don't plane on "Losing" the remote like some reviewers are worried about. (see: too lazy to look for it). here's a couple of categories:Design: 5/5The bezel is thin, and sexy. The set itself not thick depth-wise, but not too thin either. It weighs about 55 pounds and is easy to move around. The Vizio badging is in the bottom right corner, and is very minimal and classy. I'm so glad they no longer do the lit up Vizio emblems.The screen itself has a matte finish, and hides glare definition, but no all the glare. If you have an open window directly across from it, it will show. But at least it only shows as a glare, not defined images. This should be expected, and the matte screen hels a lot.Picture 5/5The picture is outstanding. I'm talking overall picture here, not the clear motion and added bells and whistles, I'll get to that later. As for the picture, each preset color/contrast setting is done very well. I primarily use the VIVID setting, as it is the brightest, and the colors just pop on the screen. HD content is phenomal. This is what 1080p was designed for. I'm talking true 1080p content. Not HD ota channels, and not netflix over Wifi, (i'll explain in a minute.) I'm talking blu ray discs, or native 1080p video files direct on USB drives. It looks phenomenal. We watched Noah and Malifecent on the USB drive in 1080 format, and it was ultra realistic, and the colors were amazing. All the settings help each scene or movie type look better. Let's understand one thing though, you cannot just run the complete factory settings on ANY TV. You have to adjust them for your living room, for your movies, and for your liking. This applies to all televisions. They are NOT iphones. They don't set themselves up. They have basic general settings, and they look fine, but to get it to look as good as they do in the store or online, you need to make some adjustments. If you're making a 1000+ dollar investment, you should learn how to use it. Not all the settings or features are for everybody. That brings me to the next topicPicture add ons 3/5Don't get me wrong, I know somebody likes the clear motion stuff, I just don't like it very much. That being said, I;m basing my score on it's functionality on this set, not my preference. Clear motion works amazing with native 1080p content, at the proper frame rate. That means Blu ray, USB video files, Ps4 content (except for FPS games) it runs clear and looks good. I have my PS4 wired with an ethernet, and the non native 1090p streaming app videos look good too, but any streaming 1080 videos that rely on bandwidth for their resolution it just looks cheap like a soap opera and all the defects are put on larger display. While I understand this is an overall Wifi issue, it is more prevelant because of the clear motion, and it just isn't there yet in terms of making the picture look better. If the processor somehow could detect settings and slow itself down, it'd be much better. As for video games, in 1080p at 30fps destiny looks amazing normally, but the clear motion caused so much clipping and dizziness it was unplayable. Do not expect to play high frame rate games at 1080p with clear motion. The jagging and clipping is brought out even more, because the processor thinks you are missing frames and adds frames where they aren't there. Same thing goes with the black detailer and the noise reduction engine. Anytime the signal coming in is questionable (high framte rate, low bandwidth streaming on wifi) you will notice pixelation and blockiness. It's not the TV, its the data and the technology. It's trying to make up for missing information, and it just doesn't work. I gave this a lower score as a result of the technology itself, still not being there. To be fair I haven't seen it work properly across all platforms with ANY TV, even the hgih end sets. AS for the local dimming feature, I notice the blacks look very deep and dark, but I don't have anything to compare them to as I came from a plasma set that had the same deep blacks as this set. The contrast on this set is phenomenal.Video Games 5/5Once I tweaked the settings, raised the framerate and changed the contrast settings, this TV actually makes my PS4 games look BETTER. The ms delay is unnoaticable. This is me coming from High end Samsung plasma with almost no delay, and moving to an LED and this latency is EVEN BETTER. You just have to remember to turn off clear motion, and turn off film mode, turn on game mode, and adjust the frame rate setting to HIGH. Advanced warfare looks real. Destiny looks like a CGI movie being played, and its insane how vivid and clear the colors are. Blacks are intense and deep too. Once the settings are correct, there is no clipping at all, and its playing at 30fps the whole time. This is only possible with an ethernet connection, I wouldnt risk it with a Wifi connection unless you're playing a game that isn't online based.Apps 2/5Here's where it goes bad. Vizio apps have always gotten the job done, but not been flashy. While on this set they certainly still do, they are starting to feel aged. The app button is nice, and scrolling through the wheel (although slow) it has all the apps a few presses away. What concerns me in this category is that they have a netflix button, an Amazon button, ....and an Iheart radio button? Who needs that at one press? Ever? It's 2015 and the third button should ALWAYS be a HULU button. If not, then just give us stickers with the remote and let us program the buttons ourselves. I'm still not sure if you can or can't program each one, I'll update if that changes. As for the apps themselvs, they fell just like the console apps on PS4 or Xbox, and are slightly better than the versions available on Roku. The app list however.... is much to be desired. No WWE network, No FxNow, No Mlb.tv, No Sunday Ticket, and lastly, NO web Browser. It also has no current option for "throwing" or "casting" from your mobile device, which is something I think they should start adding to these sets. The app fucntions themselves render using the app menu over my Ps4 fairly useless, at least until I get an ethernet cable ran to my TV now too. I have a gaming router, and it doesn't matter where you are or who you are, wifi is not better than a wire. Streaming varies on signal strength and everything from cell phones to microwaves can screw up your signal at any time. One other thing I'm having issue with, the netflix app, whenever it goes on to the next episode after it plays one, the next episode comes up and it puts it in a PIP window in the top left. If i pause, the netflix menu is still full screen, but the picture image is in the top left. Weird. I'm certain its the app, not the set, because it only happens to netflix.Compatibiliy 5/5This set plays all the video files i have on my network drive, and works with every connection I have hooked up to it. I just wish it had that option to throw my Experia data to it. Guess I need a Chromecast.Sound 4/5The speakers are kind of low volume, but to their credit, the sound is accurate and has a depth to it. You have to turn the volume up past 50 to start hearing talking parts, and that's kind of wierd for me, so i'm not giving full stars there. Lets be honest though, don't expect much out of a flat screen tv sound wise. If you're not pairing a flat screen with a surround sound or at least sound bar, thats your mistake, or its in a room where sound isn't an issue for you.Price 5/5It says it all. There is no tv with this kind of picture, this size, in this price range, Brand new. Period. Vizio owns that market.Overall, for me its a 5/5. For everyone else, being fair, a 4/5.Its a great set, I dont regret my purchase at all. It looks great, and sounds great. it does everything you can expect it to. It only lost that final star because the apps leave a little to be desired, the extra processing options don't do anything for me personally,and I'm being fair. They don't apply to me, so for me this set is perfect.This set is worth more than what they're charging.I will update any changes or if I learn more.Any questions, just ask!

This TV has a great picture & is easy to set up, but the USB ports in the back are so close that it's difficult to install a fire stick- it will fit, but you really have to jam it in there. And the sound isn't great. It's not particularly clear & it almost sounds as if it's projecting backwards from the tv. That said, It's not a bad deal for the money

18 months ago purchased the 39" LG 1080 HD TV and was impressed with picture clarity and color renditions. Had friends and family comment on picture quality. So when I decided to finally replace a tube TV in a vacation home, decided to purchase the 32 inch smaller sibling. Have not been disappointed. Likes - reasonably good speakers for a baseline TV. Sounds good in a 10 by 12 room. Excellent color, contrast, clarity. Thin edge design looks great. Dislikes - premium price as compared to Target but big box stores were 30+ minutes away. Free prime shipping and saving a trip made it worth my while. There are cheaper alternatives on Amazon but chose to go with proven LG performance . Note this is not a smart TV but have a fire stick so this was not a consideration.

needed an ecpensive replacement for an old flatscreen that failed due to age. Good pucture, easy set up. Light and easy to assemble. I bought a refurb and it was fine-packing was good. Looks like it came with an after-market stand different in style from OEM model but I used a wall mount so I can't speak to the quality of the stand. It has 3 HDMI inputs. Good, inexpensive flatscreen option.

I know I could have done better, but this a nice TV, and I'm really happy so far. Nice, but not a knockout picture! Great price.

The picture is really great but the sound is almost nonexistent. We hooked up the DVD and had to turn it to 100 to even hear it. Watching the TV the sound has to be over 40 to hear it decently. I had the runaround from LG support and finally got a service rep in my area to call. Sounds like from the reviews though that this issue with sound is not uncommon. I shouldn't have to buy external speakers for a new TV. My old 12 y/o TV had much better sound than this one!

Pros: Good picture. Loaded with features. The amazon and netflix buttons help get me where I want to go. The remote is laid out very well. Button positioning makes sense where on other remotes it does not.Cons: Tends to freeze up after more than 2 - 3 hours of watching TV. Sound quality is ok at best. I have it mounted about 3 inches from the wall. initially it was about 1 inch from the wall and the sound was terrible.If I did a 2 month in home trial and had the option to return it I would have. I've had this for about 7 months and there are days where I hate this TV and there are days when I think, it was inexpensive, the picture is pretty good and you got what you paid for. I have yet to think, wow this TV is awesome. So if you're looking for a decent TV at a good price this might be the one. If you're looking for a TV with excellent picture and sound, move along, move along.

Just a little background but I have previously owned Sony Bravia series, Samsung and LG TVs, the top end television brands. I was also a professional photographer and have spent hundreds of hours color correcting images. I also took a semester in college of color theory. So, although I am not a LED TV expert, I do know a lot about images, color and sharpness.The image on this television leans too much to the cyan side (cool blue color). Additionally, the clarity and pixel density appear to be lower than the more premium brands. Not all 1080ps are equal. Some televisions more efficiently display 1080p than others. When I tried to correct for the cyan it didn't quite color correct and went into the reds too much (the opposite of cyan). The color didn't really balance. To this TV's credit computer cartoons like "UP" or "Ice Age" look really good. Video games also look really good on this set. Computer generated cartoons and video games looked as clear, bright and colorful as any premium TV, however it was live action shots that had issues.This might not be an issue for some people and they may not be color snobs like me. However, if your previous TV was a premium one and you are expecting the same image quality here, then you should manage your expectations. The image, in most cases, will be somewhat noticeably inferior. If this is your first television (and you've never owned a premium brand TV before), then you probably won't notice it.Another issue with this television is that although the Smart TV user interface and functionality is good, the WiFi receiver on this thing is bad (as others have said). Okay, my WiFi router isn't very close, but I had to attach a Roku to this thing to get a decent signal. The Roku 2's WiFi receiver is infinitely better than Vizio's internal WiFi receiver. I don't understand the point of having good Smart TV functionality if you are gonna stick a bad WiFi receiver onto your TV? Anyways, just saying your WiFi router better be close. Real close or you'll need to ditch this TV's Smart functions and get yourself a Roku.Overall, in this world, you get what you pay for. This TV, in my opinion, is just good and okay. Three, maybe three and a half, stars.

This TV is ok after I got it to work; however, there are some things a buyer should know before purchasing:a) The TV is thicker than one might expect for a flat screen LCD display in 2016b) The remote is a bit clunky and slow in responsivenessc) The Amazon button doesn't do anythingd) I don't know why there is an iHeart radio button on the remote; it should be dedicated to Hulu (much more likely to be useful)e) The V button on the remote is supposed to show a full apps menu when double clicked: instead it is not possible to get the full apps menu as described in the quick guide.f) Setting up Internet seems pretty straightforward and the image quality is decent, so yay for that.g) If you, like me, don't care about setting up the TV for cable, antenna, or other and instead skip that part of the setup, beware: the TV apparently doesn't allow you to setup your apps unless you go through the TV channel guide scan first. Every time I tried to set up Netflix, it kept telling me to set up my Internet even though I had already done that, and I tried with both Ethernet cable and WiFi. Same results for Amazon and Hulu. It wasn't until I figured a moron had perhaps programmed the setup process that I decided to go through the TV antenna channel scan first, then turned off the TV (very important), then turned it back on again, and then tried to set up Netflix that it actually gave me the expected login screen for Netflix. After setting up Netflix, I tried the Amazon app, which again told me to set up my Internet. I again turned the TV off, waited a minute, turned it back on again, and voila, I was presented with the Amazon login screen. Then Hulu, and I was done.Now I am able finally to use the TV as expected, but... if you think, like me, that this should have been a much better experience, I would probably avoid this TV in favor of a Samsung or Sony or Sharp.At this point, I don't think I will return the TV since I got it working, but if I had known, I would have avoided this TV and bought something from a more reputable brand than Vizio. You will undoubtedly end up paying more, but probably getting a better product.

Great picture, Very easy set up. Loved that it had amazon and netflix built right into it plus many more apps but they seem very outdated and do not work very well. The built in wifi is not very good and when we do use the built in apps they do not run well and are very fuzzy. We had to end up connecting our apple tv for a better picture to use the same apps that the built in firestick had. The tv does have an ethernet port in the back but it's not a practical position because not many people will have internet directly behind their tv. On a positive note all the connections in the back hdmi, power, component are all pointing down making it easily mountable.

First: a major complaint: the default setting lets your TV watch YOU. I don't want my viewing habits passed along to the manufacturer and marketers, so I turned off that setting. But I only learned about this "feature" by reading something in a tech article. Shame on VIZIO and other manufacturers who are doing this. It's completely slimy, and I probably wouldn't purchase from VIZIO again.That said, the TV works well, has a good picture quality, and was relatively easy to set up. I've had some trouble with the "smart" functions; it doesn't play nicely with my DirecTV remote, and the remote that comes with it is ridiculously complicated, hard to see, and generally annoys me on a regular basis. I end up using my DirecTV remote because at least I can see what's on it.The sound is mediocre at best, but I use headphones much of the time so that's less of a problem. I'd strongly suggest purchasing separate audio equipment.

I read a few of the reviews before buying this product, so I was aware of the issues. My daughters loves it. Out of the box I had issues with setting the internet connection, I had to reset back to factory default several times with support on the phone. I got the Amazon Prime app to connect once, has not work since. Netflix works fine. My primary issue with the TV is the wireless connection, when I read the others who had problem with WIFI I regretfully dismissed it as people who are non-technical since my primary job is a Wireless Engineer, well guess what the WIFI sucks on the TV, I had to run a RJ45 cable to TV.Technical support was very helpfully but very lacking in pieces i needed help with the most, getting Amazon Prime to work. The TV is worth the money I paid for it lacking the wireless issues.

I bought this for my teen daughters room. She had some trouble getting her game system hooked up and working. Otherwise the television is fine for the price. The picture quality is a bit off but not terribly noticable. Just sort of unclear but is better the farther away you sit from it. The sound is good for a bedroom.

Started to not power on after about 10 months. Its still under LGs 1 year total warranty and they seem to be honoring it at this point. Ill update my review after they do they RMA repair/replacement. It could be an unlucky flaw, but 10 months before dying is really crappy.

Nice television but it needs RCA audio out like others have said. Most people aren't going to toss out old amps just because a company has decided to leave out the RCA audio out. I ended up sending the audio form the 3.5mm earphone jack to my amp using a 3.5mm to RCA cord.

All the complaints about low volume are 100% correct. Still playing with it, but no too impressed. I have larger, older LG, which is why I bought this one. Not the same breed. If you buy one, consider it a "utility" TV.

Volume isn't as rich as I'd hoped

The picture is excellent, but even at the loudest setting, it is hard to hear this TV from more than 4 feet away. I have mine hooked up to my Cable TV system, in my kitchen, and it's hard to hear it even with nothing going on in the kitchen. If they could add some external speakers, it would be terrific!

I am giving this TV 2 stars as when it worked properly it was just fine. Of course after the warranty expired I started having problems. You used to buy a TV and it worked for 50 years, in the modern world you feel you have done well if a TV makes it 50 weeks.To sum up my problems the TV started shutting off or losing connections just by hitting remote buttons or sometimes just on its on. The apps such as Netflix would freeze up or not connect, volume would not work, you name it and I assure you I have tried everything. I literally had to power on and off or reset the TV 10 times a day to get it to work. Again, this all started post warranty.As I write this I am watching TV without volume and again, everything has been tried. Both my Vizio and cable remote used to work the TV, now neither will communicate with the TV. All I can do is power it on by the power button on back and that is it. I think of it as a visual work of art now representing how technology now controls our lives in the modern world, not an actual TV.18 months. Sad.

TV itself isn't bad but it can't go more than 10 minutes on Hulu without freezing up. A computer and a tablet placed right next to the TV do not experience this issue and it seems isolated to the TV iteself. There are a ton of forums on this issue that I discovered only after I subscribed to Hulu. If you are a cord cutter then factor in the price of a Roku or similar device because it cannot handle Hulu at all. It does do fine with other services such as Amazon and Netflix.

I liked the TV. The picture was quite good. The remote was relatively user friendly and set up was easy. Adjusting the set was a breeze. BUT, I was very disappointed when after two weeks of use the input function started to falter. I really wanted to keep the set. However, knowing the hassles of trying to get it repaired, I decided to return it for a refund before the return period lapsed. I would say that it is a good value for $450 or under. After watching prices for months I got mine for $379 (new, original box). Prices vary hugely over an extended period of time.

Hard-wired to InternetPros:-Opens Amazon Video and Netflix in less than 10secs-CheapCons:-Sound is disappointing. Constant hiss from speakers. Highs frequencies sound distorted even when using optical output to receiver.-Noticeable light bleed from one spot on upper left edge.-Difficult to get the picture to look right. Lots of background blurr with motion.-Locked-up once and only reset after unplugging.

This TV has a nice picture and is a good deal for the price but do not buy it for its smart tv features. The apps are terrible and mostly broken. Do not even think of buying this tv for the Facebook app since it's broken. Just search on the Internet for Facebook on Vizio and you will see for yourself. Also note that there are no apps available that can control the tv in leu of the remote control. That's a serious disappointment.

I purchased this item specifically because I stream a lot of programming over Net Flix and Amazon and the size is perfect for the space in my home office. The streamed programs buffered too frequently to make viewing enjoyable. I do not have a problem streaming content on my computer, iPhone or Kindle. I concluded the problem was with the TV. I contacted Vizio support via live chat, went through a total reset of the tv as instructed. I was then kicked off the live chat because I was evidently on with the technician too long as he said he would have to end the chat session after 3-5 minutes even though I was having work my way through a total reset up process. The problem was not resolved, and I could not get the screen size to readjust on regular broadcast programs. I believe I will constantly have problems with this TV and have decided to return it. I guess you get what you pay for.

Brought the t.v. April 1st 2016 a year and 3 months later four colored lines going down one half of the screen. I guess April fools on me, first LG product I've ever purchased! Not a good way to win repeat buyers!

Came without the stand cover, I don't think it is necessary but it was missing. The TV also only came with 3 of the 6 screws it was supposed to. TV itself is alright, it's a tv. Just missing parts for the stand which sucks bc I had bought it as an xmas gift.

picture is average being 720, but the sound does not get loud enough to over ride the a/c in the camper. when on antenna it is dreadfully slow wondering if the tv got the command while on direct tv it is instant. looking for a replacement now.

I bought this TV used. It said the package might be damaged but TV is like new. The picture is great but I have no sound. I can probably either send it back or hook up surround sound. Not impressed

I purchased this tv on 8/14/15 and received it 8/17/15. Update from previous comment...The picture quality was ok...sound was not the greatest when I connect the dvd player to record from the tv...switch to av and the picture goes black and white.... Sent tv back to amazon...successful return..The only thing that I do not like about purchasing merchandise on Amazon is the fact the prices change every five minutes...I brought the tv about 5 times before settling on one price....

Don't buy from Vizio! They do not stand behind their products. Called and filed a claim within the warranty period and then started having the same problem a few months later and the tv died. They said they would replace it, but oops the warranty was no longer in effect so I got screwed out of a replacement. The screen just went crazy. It happened within warranty, but it sputtered back to life and lasted a couple more months. Just long enough to be out of warranty and even though I filed a claim within the warranty time they would not do anything about a replacement. Not a partial nothing zero zip. Go to Costco and buy a tv with a real warranty.

This TV has already broken within a year ! The on off button on back of TV doesnt work nor does the remote and the only to get the tv to turn on is by unplugging the wire from back and plugging back in. Frustrating.

I knew I shouldn't have bought a Vizio product. I've had this TV for a year and we hardly watch it... Maybe 3-4 times a month. My mother-in-law is staying with us now and watches TV all day... This TV turns off for no reason or starts blinking red, blue and green in the middle of TV shows. Sometimes it won't even turn on. I have to unplug it every time to get it back on track.It has decent picture and audio but its no award winner... But none of that matters if it turns off for no reason.

I bought this TV to have the capability of Netflix. Netflix would not work on this TV, right out of the box. (Other TVs in th home work fine with Netflix). Vizio instructed me to return the TV for repair, which I did. That was a 2 week process. After the repair, we re- installed the TV. Netflix still would not work. I had Vizio on the phone going through each step. Finally, she states that she will have to replace the TV since it has already been 'repaired' once. What!! Another 2 week process?! This is the catch...I purchased a brand new TV, but Vizio wants to replace it with a 'certified TV' (used). If I wanted a used TV, I would have bought one at the Good Will. Vizio...never again!

TV died after 60 days of use. Make sure you get the extended warranty on this device as it's likely to spend the majority of its time being shipped between your house and the repair facility. or, better yet, buy a product from a reputable manufacturer.

Had to unplug and plug back in in order to turn the TV on. Once it was on, if you used one function button (i.e. volume) you could not use another function without turning the TV off and on (after unplugging and plugging back in). Very frustrating! TV is being returned!

Missed a part. Too big to drop at a UPS store so I have to wait for UPS to pick up. Biggest waste of time.

Defective TV: both audio nor visual worked. Audio so fuzzy anyone speaking on TV was incoherent, screen flickered every 1-2 seconds. Right out of the box. LG is a dicey proposition, and the other reviews here saying they too got a lemon back up you take your chances with LG's poor quality.

Purchased this in August of 2015. It worked fine for the first year but now it won't power up at all and it is out of warranty. Kind of an expensive investment for just over a year. I won't be buying LG products again.

If I could rate this zero stars I would. My 13-year old bought this TV with his own money. In less than 13 months the picture went out. I called LG to see what I could do about repair, they said the only thing I could do was purchase a warranty for $300!! I will never buy an LG product again!

Bought this as a gift for my boys to have as a little gaming tv in their bedroom. The first one arrived on time and in great shape. Plugged it in via HDMI to demo and pick the best picture setting. I noticed right away that when viewing the tv from off to the right hand side the panel appeared to be a washed out yellow gray tone.
From the left it was a typical blue black tone like most Lcd screens. I tried many different content types as well as different HDMI inputs.
This TV was just plain defective. I contacted Amazon who graciously shipped out another via 2 day shipping method which arrived on a Saturday. Quickly repacked the old TV for shipping and set up the new one. Sure enough it has the same exact issue! Washed out yellow gray tone from the right viewing angle and normal when sitting off to the left. I have no other explanation for this besides my bad luck or this is a poorly manufactured TV from LG.
For customers reading this please note that I am no amateur and own a RCA , SHARP, VIZIO and Westinghouse TV set. Nothing against LG and their products but this experience has definitely changed my opinion about their products. I will be returning both defective TV's for a full refund.
Buyers beware.
