We have two Vizio smart tvs (with which I am very pleased)

A little over three years ago we moved less than a mile to a new house in the same city. We have two Vizio smart tvs (with which I am very pleased). I was going to have cable connected at the new home, but I happened to look up in the unfinished attic and saw what looked like a 20-foot pine tree stripped to its branches  obviously a large tv antenna. There were coax outlets in each room that I assumed were for cable, but thinking they might work with the antenna I connected them and  voila!  more than 20 channels OTA, most with excellent hi-def, for a savings over basic cable of well over  $2,500 a year.

I confess I bragged relentlessly and probably obnoxiously about the savings. Until about a month ago when the OTA suddenly failed. (Netflix, Amazon Prime etc. continued to work fine.) It's almost impossible to find tradesmen who do tv antennas, but I found a guy who, after determining the failure is somewhere in the wires between the antenna and the splitters in the basement,  said he could reconnect the antenna, but not until the weather moderates, probably a few months here in the Great White North. He suggested that in the meantime I might want to get a rabbit-ears type antenna to get at least the major broadcast channels.

With that in mind, I wasn't about to spend a lot of money. Did some research on Amazon and elsewhere and settled on this antenna. Frankly, for under $18, I figured that if it didn't work I'd made a poor bet and that would be that until Antenna Guy can fix the attic antenna.

Okay. That is all preamble or preface or whatever. This antenna arrived today. I hooked it up to the first-floor tv.  It worked great. Not kinda great, really great  got 21 OTA channels, HDs are excellent quality. That was on the first floor. The other Vizio is in the basement; frankly, I did not expect this antenna to work there. But I placed it in a ground level window and it works great.

I do read everything, and a pamphlet that came with this antenna said, Write your review on Amazon including the phrase 'I am an unbiased reviewer [. . . ]' and we will include you in our monthly raffle. . .

Whatever. Here is what I think if the most accurate recommendation: Remember I said we had two tvs?  After trying this out just a few hours ago,  I ordered a second one.

'Nuff said?

I bought one of these units and can say I am blown away at how smart this TV is. Seriously it really is. I paid $499 for my unit but it was an Amazon Return with full warranty. I can't say enough how pleased I am with this Smart TV. It actually was an intermediate unit as I want to get a higher end Samsung 3D unit in the future, but the value can't be overlooked ;-)

Picture quality is king, and the M492i-B2 49-Inch Vizio (2014 model) has it.  The "smart TV" apps are lackluster, but buy a dedicated device for that.  You can't beat the 2014 Vizio M-Series for the price if you want a gorgeous picture with deep blacks and local dimming.  Highly recommended.

I have another smaller Vizio TV I've been using for years as my computer monitor since my monitor went out

I purchased this to replace the original that came with our Vizio Smart TV.  It arrived quickly and ready to use with batteries. I did not have to program it or anything.  I found our original remote a few days later, but its great having two because now I can always find one!  For the price, makes sense to have more than one --  years from now it may not be so available!

I actually have bought two of these, one for my kids, and then one for myself and my wife to use. The QWERTY keyboard on the back is extremely helpful when you're using YouTube or Netflix and doing a search for something. Overall it is a great remote and works very well with various Vizio TVs.

This Vizio smart TV is an amazing product. The picture quality is wonderful. The smart TV features make this model especially worth owning. I highly recommend it.

I was shopping for a new HD set with smart technology to get rid of other devices and my best friend's husband recommended this tv which they had recently purchased. After enumerating all the pluses and why this was a great tv, I was sold but only after I checked the top Amazon reviews listing both the positives and negatives as well as reviews on other websites. I was sold despite the fact that I thought the size might overwhelm the room. The tv it was being replaced by was 42".
Turns out the size was absolutely perfect. I had it mounted over the fireplace mantle professionally which was absolutely a good move. The picture is not only bright but crystal clear. It is a feast for the eyes. Even without special subsidiary speakers, the sound is quite good. Yup, it gets better. The smart tv features are a snap to install. No snags. It took no more than five minutes to get up and running.
Look I am no techie, but with this tv you don't have to be. Everything is running smoothly off the net, and I am thoroughly enjoying Hulu+ and NetFlix etc. and it is all coming from the tv. No extra remotes or a myriad of buttons needed.
Read the other reviews which tell you pretty much the same story that this is a great tv with an extremly low amount of negative issues and a great price,

This unit was so simple and worked so well I bought a second one for the other television. Love it.

This is my second flat panel TV. I had a Samsung plasma before, I loved that TV. However this VIZIO is great. Picture is sharp. I love the remote, this remote really replaced all my other remote. I think Vizio did a great job on the software side of this TV. Internet streaming features are great. But I think more video capable widgets needed to be added to the Internet app selections, specially you tube should be the first in the list. On screen TV picture control selection could be better, bottom of the TV design is bulky, personally I like piano finish all the way around. Overall this is an excellent TV for the price and features and for sure for the picture quality. You will be blown away. VIZIO used to be a moderate quality TV maker, at least on my mind before, but with this purchase I changed my mind, they are as supreme as Sony or Samsung.

What a great smart TV.  I have connected it to my Wifi and am making new discoveries each and every day.  I highly recommend this unit.  Oh, and the picture is terrific.

My remote had stopped working.  I had to order a new one.  I have to say that the new Vizio VO320E surpassed my expectations.  It not only worked well, but whenever I would click the power button to turn the television on and off, it didn't make any noise.  That was a very welcomed change!  All I can say is wow!

I love this television.  For the price, I got a decent size HD tv with smart capability.  I love using this for Hulu, Netflix, and HBO go.  The picture is great, the platform is easy to use, and Samsung just makes a great smart LED HDTV.

I have owned 5.1 surround sound systems throughout the years, so I knew what I liked.  My previous systems were Sony and Panasonic.  Those systems included DVD players, and the Sony also included an AM/FM tuner.  One of my two Panasonics failed a few years ago, and the Sony has been "limping" into the new technology era.  Upgrading my TV's to smart TV's, I decided to add new surround systems as well.  I knew I wasn't getting tuners and DVD players with this Vizio, but that didn't matter.  I have come to realize that those components can be added if you use them, and adding a good DVD/Blue Ray player is easy enough to do.  So now to the Vizio SB3851 5.1 Channel Sound Bar.

Easy to unpack and install.  Nice instructions and owner's manual.  Using on-line support, I downloaded a PDF of the Quick Start Guide to my iPad before they arrived, so I was pretty well prepared.  I also watched a few YouTube video's of unpacking and set-up.  Very nice, clean appearance.  I have always been impressed with the simple yet elegant styling of Apple and Sony products.  This Vizio is on that level.  Very nice.

The set-up is easy, and the "generous" length of rear speaker connecting wires will work in any size room, including enough length to route to corners, and up the wall to your desired height.  The wall mounting brackets are simple to install, and secure.  I didn't use the wall mounting brackets for the sound bar, as it works perfectly positioned "behind the TV".  It cannot be seen, but it certainly can be heard.  My TV stand doesn't block the remote sensor, but if it did, it is easy enough to adjust for good line-of-sight positioning.

The woofer was already "paired" to the sound bar, so everything worked perfectly "out of the box".  A full set of hook-up cables is included, so this will connect to whatever sort of input/output plugs you have.  I used the optical cable for my set-up.  The remote is slim and well designed.  It took only a few minutes for me to become familiar with it, although it would be difficult to read in dim conditions.

Now the SOUND.  This compares very well with the more expensive Panasonic and Sony systems I have previously owned.  And, I will tell you that it is one whole lot easier to set up and use.  Granted, there are no extras like tuners and DVD players, but if your application is primarily for good sound, it is hard to imagine a better choice, especially for the price.  My rooms are large, and the sound is are than adequate.

My "test run" was the opening scenes of the movie "Crimson Tide", with the crew mustered on the pier in the pouring rain, followed by the "Alabama" clearing the decks and diving with the hymn "Eternal Father" in the background.  All I can say is WOW!
