This is my first Smart TV and I must say I'm hooked!!!!  The picture quality is great and setup was extremely easy and very user friendly.  There are so many apps to download and I no longer even have cable TV.  I love being able to cast to the TV from my phone it was beyond easy to do.

I purchased this TV at Walmart recently.  I have a 50" Panasonic Viera in my living room and I personally enjoy the Vizio much more.  For starters my Panasonic Viera does not have a built in wireless adapter so I either have to run a cable or buy an external adapter to use the smart menu.  The only thing I can get to function on my Panasonic smart menu is Netflix but the menu for Vizio is by far better and everything functions.  The remote for this is small but no big deal, it has everything you need to operate the tv and it has a few buttons that will take you directly to the smart tv app you want.  Those buttons are Amazon, Netflix, and IHeart Radio.  Very easy to set up and there's even enough space to fit a DVD player under the TV once the legs are attached.

I am not what you would call an early adopter of new technology, I wait for the market to settle down and for the bugs to be worked out of the products. So this is my first big TV and I love it. No more squinting across the room trying to make out what the DVD menu says and the quality even from a DVD player is so much better than what I've had before. I can't wait to get it set up for Blu-Ray, guess I'd better get the old wallet out again.

I was sceptical about buying a 720p rather than a 1080p resolution TV, but after reading some reviews and comments on the two technologies, I went into a couple of stores and found unless my nose was nearly on the glass, I couldn't tell the difference.

Only downside is that the price of this TV has come down slightly from what I paid a couple of weeks ago! If, like me, you've held off buying a big TV - wait no longer.

I purchased this HDTV for my bedroom, I have a small bedroom and the size is perfect, I am greedy, and as an after thought wanted a bigger size.  But this TV is beautiful, I have cable but I do not have a cable box for the bedroom;,
however, with this TV  "I don't need, no stinkin cable"  Instead I am using my WIFI  which enables the TV to let me watch my Netflix  VUDU, FACEBOOK,, KARAOKE, NEWS, YOU TUBE. SURF THE WORLD WIDE WEB . I am not yelling, I am excited,!! This is a computer with Television capabilities, I only, had to plug the tv into the wall outlet and sign on by putting my passcode from my router and I was like, WOW!!  (A whole new world)Ha Ha Ha!!  I have the TV mounted on the wall with the inexpensive wall mount that was offered by Amazon for $14.00 which, was easy to install.  I have an HDMI cable hooked up when I am ready to add other devices, but for now, I don't need it.  The Remote Control for the TV is ALL need it's basically a mouse, it ,brings the keyboard up o the TV screen  to allow navigation on all of the sites. If you don't have the cable box just press the SMART TV cube, it's colorful like the rubics cube on the remote  and, be amazed as a whole world of APPS appear on screen, for YOUR USE,  at your fingertips. There are large arrows where the screen turns and flips in and out, so dramatic, while making a ting, ting sound ,  Do not cheat yourself or those special to you, this Holiday Season,  If you plan to upgrade your TV and can appreciate technology, treat yourself to a SMART TV while the price is right and the deal is real!

I was concerned about buying an inexpensive 4K Smart TV, but I have to say that this product has impressed me out of the box. It works beautifully, and the craftmanship is better than on many "upper brands" out there. I cant talk about the durability/longevity of this TV yet, but it is nice that it has YouTube app preinstalled and WiFi, so 4K content is accessible right away. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase.

I found this TV on Frys.com for an truly "amazing price". Because I wanted it immediately, I drove to a nearby Fry's store and had them honor the price. The picture is beautiful and I love the smart features. I can read my Facebook, watch UTube, order movies, and surf the web from my chair. It does have a glare from my window directly opposite the TV, but I can live with it. When I sit to the side, I have no glare and an absolutely gorgeous picture.  My only complaint is that it does not have the Amazon Instant Movie app and I can not watch the movies that I purchased from Amazon. However, it does have Netflix, Redbox, Vudu and a few others which I like. In closing, I am loving my new TV and very pleased with my purchase. I give it two thumbs up!

Very important!!! In place of buying a smart remote, I found out that the LG Smart TV app can be downloaded to your tablet or phone and you use it just like a mouse. This is the greatest helpful information that I stumbled on by another LG owner. I love this feature.

So this was my first flat screen TV and I've had for about a week. Two weeks now I think. At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend the money on this because I read reviews about it not being good for gaming, not having the best picture, and not having good sound.

First off, the sound is perfect for me since I use the TV in my small/medium bedroom. It gets pretty loud. There's a surround sound feature on the TV, so when I was watching a movie, a phone was ringing. I thought the phone was ringing in the next room in MY house, but it was actually part of the movie. There's also audio outputs, so if you wanted to have surround sound speakers, that'd work too. Personally, I soon plan to buy some Pulse Elite headphones (I use nothing but a PS3 on my TV), so that'll satisfy my surround sound needs.

SPEAKING OF THE PS3. It looks AMAZING on this TV. I play mostly Call Of Duty: MW3 on there, and it looked great. There's no lag between pressing a button and it happening on the screen. Don't judge me, but I was quick scoping like it wasn't nothing. It's also almost like I can even see farther away while sniping than I could on my old tube TV. I tested other games out on it like Naruto Storm, Little Big Planet, Saints Row, and others, and it all looked just freaking great. I can't wait to get Grand Theft Auto V and play it on this, Oh, btw I have my PS3 into my TV using an HDMI cord. Idk how regular AV cords would look.

The screen is really great. When I playing a game, I'm either sitting on the edge of my bed which is 4 feet from the screen, or I'm sitting across the room which is typically 11-12 feet from the screen. Then again, I can adjust the TV distance and position since I have it mounted on my wall using the VideoSecu wall mount I also purchased from Amazon.

Another cool feature this TV has is that it can take a USB through the back. I hooked up my Android phone through USB to the TV and started playing music on it. It's awesome. I doubt I'm going to be using my TV to play music from my phone, but hey, still a pretty neat feature.

Delivery was swift. Tip: Order this using Amazon Prime. When you order it, make sure you do it early in the morning. Even though I chose Two Day Shipping with Prime, I got the TV the NEXT DAY. I was surprised. The delivery man also delivered it properly. If you get your TV and it's delivered face down, or back down, just return automatically. That's how "black lines" develop on your TV. As your opening your TV, make sure you don't put it face down or back down either. Keep it standing and you should be good.

I've only had this TV for less than 2 weeks, I use it maybe everyday or every two days, but I really feel like it's going to last. I'd definitely recommend this to someone.

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 ;-)

I love this thing.  Beautiful picture, and the "smart" element of it is fantastic.  Downloadable apps for watching extra channels. Netflix and Amazon preloaded, among others, and many more available. Ability to cast straight from my phone or tablet without the need for a Chromecast or other device.  Easily switch input sources with the simple remote. I haven't run into any problems yet.

Refurbished? Really? No way?

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,

My last LCD TV by Sharp lasted almost 6 years and it cost me $2,500.  It still works by the screen started to show vertical lines and noises.  Finally decide to spend $600 and get this SmartTV by Samsung.  I can say that I am extremely happy with the TV.  However, I am unable to give this 5 starts for a few reason.

First are a few pros.  The TV is very easy to setup and it is quite heavy for its size.  The TV stand is strong and compact to hold its weight.  It comes with 3 HDMI ports, and a few USB ports.  There is a PC port and regular analog port.  I attached Xbox 1 to the TV and it worked flawlessly.  I tried to play Blue Ray movie on my XBox 1 and only HDMI 1 allows the move to play.

The remote that came with the TV works fine but trying to navigate and type on the SmartTV is futile at best.  I suggest that you get a USB keyboard (about $35) and it works well with the TV.

If you have a Samsung smartphone, you will enjoy the way the phone interact with the TV.  You can easily share photos and videos from your Samsung smartphone by beaming it to the TV.  My family love this feature.

Now, on to the negatives.  On initial boot up, Samsung requires updates on the SmartHub.  That takes a while if you use wireless network.  Once all the updates are done everything works fine.  One of the thing I noticed about SmartTV is the internal memory is quite small.  You cannot install a lot of apps on the TV.

Another negative is using the internet to watch web videos will work for the first 10 minutes until the internal memory is full and the internet app will shut down.  I also tried using the Vevo app.  The SmartTV can play the app videos for the first 20 minutes until the videos start to stutter.  If I am not mistaken, this TV is unable to clear its cache quick enough to continue with the videos.

I couldn't be more pleased with this TV. It  took a little tweaking of the picture settings to meet my taste, but everything works great. I hooked up some small satellite speakers with a subwoofer from an old computer setup and the sound is better now for movies and music streaming. Speaking of streaming, streaming Youtube and ShowBox from my phone is a game changer for me. This is a great deal on a smart tv. My only regret is not getting a bigger one. But this was in my budget and really is fine at 48".

A Great buy, I'm not great with electronics so this sat in  my closet for a year until I moved to a new place ... when at the apple store I ask if I could use this as my moniter instead of the 22" I'd had for years ... I'm a very happy man, I can do all my online stuff & watch TV all in the same place ith hella nice visual, and I hooked it up to my Bose wave and have incredible sound too ... I haven't figured out all the smart TV stuff but with online streaming via amazon prime  I don't feel I'm missing much

I am very happy with this TV as a whole.  The image is crystal clear, colors are sharp, it honestly felt like I had upgraded my PS4 when I switched from a 42" 1080p Panasonic that I bought in 2008.  I do not currently have any devices that output at 4K resolution, so I cannot speak to that resolution.  It does make my PS4 and Xbox One games look amazing, my cable outputs at 1080i and looks decent (but I blame that more on the cable box than the TV).

The Vizio built in interface for using Smart apps is very slick.  The TV asks for your WIFI information during set-up and will connect to the services through the WIFI.  I have only used that functionality a few times however, as I still had my Chromecast from the prior TV, and I like using my Android phone as a remote and search device.

The biggest negative I have seen so far is very sporadic, but very annoying when it happens.  I am not sure why, but occasionally when I turn on the TV the image will come through, but there are 4 large horizontal bars of light behind the image. They are significantly bright, I think it may be part of the functionality of the TV to adjust to light levels of the room automatically.  The good news is, all I ever have to do is restart the TV when it happens.  But it was disappointing to see that happen to the image.  Another very small gripe comes when the screen is on with a completely black image.  Right in the center of the screen, depending on the image mode (standard, game, movie, etc), there will be a small, faint grey circle in the middle of the black screen.  I think it comes up when the TV is in game mode mostly.  Now, once the TV starts displaying anything other than pure black it is impossible to pick the circle out again.  But I would assume that it is still there.

I have had many friends over for game and movie nights since I got the TV and they are all very impressed by it.  It looks great, especially on the modern-looking IKEA TV stand that I got for better air flow to my consoles.  The TV was around $600 on sale when I got it, and I can only assume it will get better in value as time goes on.  The issues I have had with the TV were relatively minor, so I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a good value in the 50" range.

I purchased this TV based on several factors. I wanted a TV that had a thin bezel, great picture, good gaming performance, and smart features; this TV has all of these. The picture is everything I need. There are other TVs with a 240hz refresh rate, but it doesn't do any good. HD TV shows and blu rays are only putting out 60hz, and 60hz is all you need for gaming. Going with this one at 120hz is sufficient for anything you're going to watch or play on your tv, and it uses less energy than the 240hz TVs. Not to mention the 240hz TVs will cost you more money.

For gaming I simply put the TV in gaming mode, and it does a fantastic job. I have not personally tested gaming lag on it, as I do not have the programs required to do so, but from what I've read on other sites the lag in game mode is only about 30ms. That refers to the amount of time it takes for the image on the screen to register what you told the gaming console to do via your controller.

This TV has several useful apps. It also has a smart feature that allows you to calibrate the picture settings to fit your preference. The smart remote is pretty cool as well, and it was fun trying to figure out how to work it compared to a conventional remote. One feature that I like is the smart share feature. I downloaded the LG smart share program onto my laptop for free, and it allows me to access movies, pictures, and files from my TV that are on my laptop as long as I have the smart share program running. I leave my laptop upstairs with the smart share program running in the background, then go downstairs and access various episodes of shows on the TV and watch them there.

It has a sleek design with a thin bezel that makes it look high class. There is a little bit of reflection on the screen which can be seen when the room is bright, but it's not a big deal. Just make sure not to put the TV directly in front of windows where a lot of light will be coming in.

Lastly, I just want to mention that this TV actually has pretty good sound. I purchased an LG sound bar to go with it, not knowing how the sound would be, and I really didn't need the sound bar. I kept it anyway, but the TV itself can get pretty loud. I was concerned because I own another LG TV that is five years old, and the sound is not very good on it, but this one is exceptional for an LED TV.

All in all, a pretty good buy. I've had the TV for about five weeks and I don't have any complaints. When it arrived the box was in good condition, and there wasn't any damage to the TV at all. It was in perfect condition. No need to worry about it being damaged during shipping.
