What owners say about VIZIO
4K Vizios in general are not great gaming TVs. They have quite a bit of motion blur on all of their models. I would steer clear of Vizio if ...
I've been impressed with this compact 24-inch VIZIO TV. It packs a lot of features into a small package that works well in bedrooms or small ...
Outstanding customer service! Has to call today regarding a broken leg on our tv. No issues whatsoever, replacement on the way. Ashley was amazing. Follows up with emails. She really cares about the customer.
Vizio is absolutely the worst television brand. Their built-in software is junk and their customer support is nonexistent.
Worst TV I’ve ever owned will not connect to anything. Do not buy this TV buy a Samsung.
