    Over the past week I've been looking for a TV to replace a seven year old Samsung one that is near the end of its life. Looking at reviews on here was aggravating due to the sheer number of 5-star 'GREAT TV' reviews that really don't help.I sifted through reviews for a few different TVs looking for people complaining of light bleed, poor sound, etc. Most of the complaints I've seen from people for this TV seem to center around the built in apps. I have a Roku, so I'm not planning to use the built in apps at all, so I'll ignore those. I'm not much of a fan of trying to spam apps on so many different devices, because they're fine while they're maintained, but eventually I'm sure that will stop. You can already see references to certain apps not functioning, with Vizio pointing towards the service provider, and vice versa. This is why I'd rather stick with something like a Roku that has wide usage. Better chance of maintained apps.I just received the TV today, so I'll speak to first impressions.PositivesTV seems solid, picture seems fine (haven't tried anything 4K yet, only 1080 Netflix), sound is adequate. I haven't seen any light bleed, and the sound was fine when turned up while cooking. Was able to hear it over the stove hood fan while 20 feet away, and it sounded fine.Negatives (however minor they may be)During setup, the TV prompts you to select how you view TV - cable box, antenna or satellite. I don't use any of those, but selected one and then renamed it. I think this was well-intentioned, but could have included a few more options.The remote has three dedicated buttons for apps - xumo, Netflix and iHeart Radio. I really dislike the idea of dedicated buttons for specific apps. I have no intention of using xumo or iHeart Radio, and for Netflix I'll (again) use my Roku.When navigating to the display settings, you have to navigate the list of apps on the TV. This is admittedly petty.The built in OS or settings menus seem a little slow and unresponsive. However, I don't anticipate having to change settings often, so likely not a big deal.Lastly, the remote itself feels a little cheap. The center section for navigating menus / apps can shift slightly during use. Just feels like a poor fit. I'm not sure why Vizio decided for hard plastic for that section.I'll update after I've used the TV for a bit.

    Reviewed in Canada on June 20, 2016
    For the last month, I've been enjoying this Vizio 50" 4K smart TV. I wanted to thoroughly test it, I've only heard horror (lagging) stories when it comes to 4K TV's. Here's how my personal experience went.

    Before the TV arrived, I had already decided to switch out my (2012) 55LM6400 LG TV in our family room for the Vizio. I wanted to get a good feel for the TV, in most or all scenario's.

    The physical appearance of this unit is nice; it has a thin profile and sleek black edges. While moving the unit (and being very careful), the screen came away from the frame in a top corner. Oops! that's not supposed to happen... I'm not sure if this is just my unit, but it's something to watch for and be cautious about. After moving the TV and turning it on, it appeared to have no adverse effects from it.

    The remote is handy; I like the Netflix button because I subscribe to it. Overall I do wish they had invested a little more cash into the remote. The buttons feel cheap, but they do work! Which is what counts in the end. I don't think I'll have an issue, it's only used by adults.

    Turning the TV on and setting it up was easy, the hard part was remembering my WiFi password! I have an AC dual bandwidth router. I set it up on my 5GHz band. There's far too many 2.4GHz signals around my home, but no one has 5GHz running. The signal for 5GHz is pretty decent. All of my electronics have a bad signal while I'm in my bedroom, but this TV gets a moderate signal. It's definitely better then my handheld devices & WiFi Blu-ray player.

    The only app that I use is Netflix. It plays everything smoothly, no lag or stutter. I also love that the app mirrors the PlayStation app for Netflix. It's smooth running, easy to look at & use. Most of the apps are US based; sadly the app selection for Canadians is lacking. I tried using Yahoo News but it never works, it usually just gives me errors.

    The general settings were easy to play with. I like the fact that I can totally turn off the TV's speakers in the audio settings. So regardless of you clicking volume up or down, the TV will tell you the speakers are off. This is a handy feature if you're using an external speaker system. I also like that I can name each connection on the TV, that way when I'm flipping through the inputs, I actually don't have to memorize which HDMI port the PS4 is connected to (as an example) You have to play with the settings, as you do with all new TVs. It can be frustrating, but you'll get your 'right picture'. It actually took me a few days of watching and tweaking before I found what I liked. Which leads me to...

    The picture, it's fantastic! The blacks are nice and deep and the details are very crisp. However, if the screen is viewed on too much of an angle (right or left side), everything goes bright white and you can't see everything clearly anymore. It occurred to me, I could have this issue because of MY 'right picture' settings. I took the time to read other online reviews for this TV; there are reports of weird viewing angles. Not many, but definitely a few. When I had several people gathered in my family room (during my testing time), they all noticed it and weren't happy. I live in a long narrow home, so most viewing is on angles. Especially if I want to view the TV from my kitchen. I've provided a photo of netflix, straight on and from an angle. The brightness isn't so bad, but when watching sports outside? Brutal! I've never had this issue on my LG. I really don't want to change my settings; to see if the settings are the issue. It took (what felt like) forever to finally find what I liked! (looking at it straight on) I provided a face on and side angle of Netflix to show some of the effect.

    When 4K TVs started showing up, I remember reading reports of lag with sports and video games. One thing I can say is, I haven't noticed that with this TV. The game's I tested were all single player. In both sports and gaming, this TV preforms very well.

    Tested the screen with:
    Sports (in general, we watch them all)
    Everyday Satellite TV
    Uncharted 4: A thief's end (PS4)
    Dragon Age Inquisition (PS4)
    Assassins Creed II (PS3)
    Netflix (through TV app)
    Antenna

    I decided to get a wall mount. It's going in my bedroom for the long haul, and I really wanted to free up space on the top of my dresser. I also wanted to see it clearly from all angles. I had hoped that the screws for the legs would also fit the VESA screw holes. Nope :( They're to skinny & to long. This Vizio 50" TV is VESA 200x200. And you'll need M6x20 sized screws. I tried M6x25 screws, but they were a little too long.

    Over all this TV is a fantastic value. I would definitely recommend it, especially if you have a full motion mount to suit your surroundings/settings! I hope this helps!

    UPDATE July 13:
    I just installed an indoor amplified antenna on this. I live in Alliston ON, surrounded by farm land and I wanted to take full advantage of the TV! It's working great and set up was very simple. I only got one channel, CTV two Barrie which is great, it broadcasts in 1080i and looks beautiful. I have this channel with my satellite subscription but not in HD. I'm loving it so far!
