Side by Side Comparison of: VIZIO vs Sharp

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.

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.

very good picture & price

It's working exactly for me with no issues that others have described. It seems like a real upgrade from previous tv (an HD samsung) I especially like how bright it is even with the windows open it's easy to see.

Looks great! I updated the firmware as soon as I got it. I have not had the TV reboot once. I prefer to use external TV sticks (Fire Stick, Chromecast) than the smart functionality, as the included apps do not let you adjust the picture while using them. I am upgrading from a 2006 42" TV. The 70" TV is huge compared to my old TV but with the super thin bezel (vs 3-4" on my old TV), I already think it looks normal.

This TV is awesome. It was super easy to pair with my system and I love all the smart features. My previous set was from 2008, so the upgrades in features and picture were remarkable for me. My wife and I often joke that the picture is too clear, but I love it, especially for sports and video games. The fact that there are only 3 HDMI ports doesn't really bother me, either, as I run everything off my Yamaha receiver. Overall, this TV was a tremendous upgrade and bargain for me and I am very happy with this purchase.

Picture looks good, haven't experienced any problems.note: dealing with the shipping company was an absolute nightmare, be careful

works great taking some time getting used to.

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.

Now that I have had a few days to enjoy this TV, I wanted to leave a review for others who might need to know about the wireless performance. If not for this problem, I would have given a 5 star review.

I tried the wireless in three locations with less than stellar results. At my home, the signal strength was less than I expected for the location. This should have been a clue that I would have problems at other locations. At the first remote location, I was not able to see the closest and strongest wifi signal, though cell phones, a FireTV and Kindles were easily able to stream HD video from it. Even entering the SSID and IP addresses manually did not let the TV see the hotspot. At the second location, the TV could connect with the wifi hotspot, though streaming video from Netflix and Amazon Prime was unacceptable due to continual buffering delays. Hooking up the TV via FireTV stick worked flawlessly, as did phones and Kindles.

The net result is that the poor wifi turns this smart TV into a pretty dumb one!

Overall, I would give the TV a B grade, with wifi getting a D- and everything else an A.

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.

It's a good tv some times I have to unplug it to get it to cut back on once I turn it off . I don't know if that's a indication that I'm going to to near future problems

The picture is good, and some features are nice, but trying to do anything network related on this, e.g. watch netflix, is just a frustrating slow mess. Use something else and keep the TV for picture only.

The sound is alright but I need a subwoofer to go with it. I didn't know I needed that cause if I did I would have purchased it.So looking for a Sharp Subwoofer to go along with the sound bar and hopefully I can get a good price off of Amazon. I just wish y'all would have let me know when I purchased tee the TV,and the Sound Bar. Other than that everything I have is good.

So far, a great TV. The picture is really good but not as good as I was told it was going to be.

GOOD TV, HAD SHIPPING ISSUE BUT SELLER CORRECTED PROBLEM

Amazing picture. Netflix is easy to access. Everything works perfectly until it doesn't... I should have read the reviews more carefully. Received the tv earlier this week, and I have had the same issues as others. The tv shuts down and restarts about every hour or so. I am so terribly disappointed. I will call customer service tomorrow (or Monday if they aren't on call on Sunday's)... but based on what I have read here, I don't have high hopes.UPDATERaised rating! It took 2 visits - the first to assess the problem and the second to replace the computer boards - completely free to me. And the service man showed up exactly when he said he would both times!!!! And, I haven't had a single problem since. The image is gorgeous! TV works perfectly. I couldn't be happier. I would give it 5 stars except that the servicing of a brand new tv was a little bit inconvenient.

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 2016
b) The remote is a bit clunky and slow in responsiveness
c) The Amazon button doesn't do anything
d) 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.

This TV has had a lot of problems. The first one I got showed a defect int he screen within a week. The second started freezing up a month or 2 later. Sharp has been willing to fix the problems, but I am really afraid of when the warranty runs out.

Hello,The delivery was fast and great but the TV did not meet my expectation. There is no central smart app inside the tv so there is no way to download your favory app...

couldn't have chosen a better one for the occasion

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 Internet
Pros:
-Opens Amazon Video and Netflix in less than 10secs
-Cheap
Cons:
-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.

This TV has recently begun to get a black screen with no sound when trying to watch OTA channels. The audio, channel name and program title will appear at the top of the screen when pressing the display button. The surround sound will display, the video which is usually 720 or 1080 remains blank. The channel number and signal strength is displayed via the menu. The TV settings menu can be accessed and displayed onscreen. The blu ray player and Amazon Fire TV works and plays video and sound. After leaving the TV off for a few hours, the channels come back. Does anyone else have this problem?

I bought the tv a little over a year ago and it will no longer works. The tv turns on and won't move past the Sharp logo. I've been told it needs a firmware update however i can't update then firmware because the tv won't move past the Sharp logo. I've read many other reviews online with customers having the same problem and needing the main board to be replaced. If i were to go back again i would have purchased a Panasonic which i have had no problems with in the past. I liked the tv before it stopped working however which is why i gave 2 stars rather than one.

not cool..don,t like it

My husband and I purchased our 70" on January 30th 2015. We are now having the same issue as many of the other reviews. Our TV freezes up. The remote nor the controls on the back of the TV work. We have to unplug the TV to get them to work and after 5 minutes of the TV being on it freezes up again. I have called Sharp, was told to do a software update however my TV is completely up to date so they escalated my case. I was told someone would call me back 24 to 48 hours later and no one called. I called them back last night because I still hadn't received a phone call and of course the department I needed was already closed even though I called during operating hours. Now I am waiting again for someone to call me. I really like the TV. The picture is incredible and I love having a smart TV I just haven't been able to watch my TV in going on 4 days now.

I purchased this Sharp 70" about a month ago at Sams Club for $1398. Picture is great but TV has problems, I have updated firmware and as of today 3/6/15 the TV tells me it has the latest firmware, no new updates available. First of all the TV lacks the intuitive interfaces that the Samsung smart tv's have. Your stuck with just the app's Sharp has pre loaded. There are several other design issues that are well documented in other reviews here so I'll skip those. BUT THE PICTURE even with the soap opera effect was enough for me to forgo the other objections.THEN THE PROBLEMS STARTED: During installation I updated the firmware to the latest, and I just checked today, the TV tells me I have the most current version and no update is needed.About the second or third day after bringing the Sharp home I started to notice during certain commercials the TV picture would skip, like momentary black outs of the DISH satellite signal. I checked the signal strength, it was "good". Only was happening in commercials, only occasionally and seemed only to be on one network channel, I put it up to a problem with the network stations transmission. Problem started happening more often. Then when watching the NETFLEX series Marco Polo about the 5th episode it started to have the same problem. After awhile the screen just went slime green. Tried turning off the TV with the remote, no response. Tried the power button on the back left side of the TV, no response, no response to any button on the TV or remote. Had to take the TV down to get to the plug (uugh) unplugged it, waited a minute and plugged it back in. It turned on, started the Netflex application again and picked back up where I left off. Still getting skips but now probably 10-15 a minute. Noticed the audio is uninterrupted during skips. Then screen went black and stayed that way until I shut it off and on. While watching DISH I still get the skips but they are rare and again happen more during commercials. I also forgot to mention about the second or third day I owned this TV it turned its self on. I was the only one home and was working in the office, it was late morning and the TV had not been turned on since the evening before. All of a sudden I hear dialog, look up into the living room and this TV is on and tuned into a program, I got up looked for the remote it was sitting on the table where I had left it. This only happened once but apparently it is not uncommon according to others reviews here.As Sams club gives a 90 day return on TV's I plan on returning this Sharp and getting a Samsung, had there not been so many similar and worse experiences within these reviews I would have probably exchanged this one for the same even given some of its features that are sub par to Samsung because of its great picture, but I have lost confidence that this TV and would worry that I'd be dealing with service repair calls after the 90 day return period was over, or worse after warranty was up.

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!

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!

I have a problem the tv suddenly froze on sharp red logo and i can't do anything the tv is not responding, i can't turn it off or change the channel.. PLEASE help

I buy a lot of TVs and I mostly stick with sharp. I have had a few go bad but this has been the worst Experience Yet. The TV image started slowing down randomly during movies and video games. Took 3 repairs and a replacement n the refurbished TV they sent me has the same problem.

I give it one star for the simple fact it's a beautiful picture ... It's supposed to be a smart tv. The only app it includes is Netflix. For us non cable users a smart tv should include Amazon prime, Hulu, pretty much any app options a roku has. Well we have 2 rokus so whatever.... But 3 months into owning the tv, the hdmi ports won't give out audio to any device, such as my roku3. So now I can't watch sh** besides Netflix on this $1500 tv. Waste of money. I should have went with a Samsung .. Oh and customer service with sharp is a pain in the ass.. Went in circles back and forth for days and no help in the end. So I'm stuck w a worthless piece of crap tv. .... But the picture works.

Had this for 40 days and it developed a black line across the screen. 30 day warranty had expired.After I posted this TV would not turn on. When I called Sharp and they informed me that the repair would be on my dollar.I would STRONGLY advise people to stay away from this product.

Amazon was great about replacing this piece of garbage TV.I had one for 3-4 months then it would not turn on.Replaced it with a new one and within a week the second one did the same. Would not recommend this tv at all.

I set up the 70" TV got everything working properly. After about 2 hours the unit shut down and restarted. This happens about every 1 or 2 hours. Also I shut the unit off when we went to bed and it came on by itself sometime during the night. I called Sharp and they said they would get a software fix. I don't think a software fix will do. They have some problems with the construction. The Sharp Aquos definitely has some problems and I would not buy it. I returned it to get another brand.
