VIZIO 50" 4K UHD FullArray LED Smart TV

This review is for the 75 Inch model of this T.V (M75- C1). One thing I do not like is the cross reviews of each Vizio TV (different sizes/models etc, It is confusing. Not all models sizes have the same features and hardware, so be careful when reading reviews that do not relate to the model you wish to purchase. The first thing I want to address is the difference between an LED and a Plasma T.V. Plasma's were great and I just purchased this T.V to replace the Pioneer Plasma 50 Inch set we have had for eight years (which still works great). The viewing angle on these (L.E.D) are not the same as Plasma T.Vs, for best view its better to be straight on, if you are viewing from an acute angle, you are going to be disappointed, as the picture will not be view able to your liking. Before you buy such a major purchase you should always go to a local store (If Possible) and view them before purchase. (we checked out Costco). Also make sure you check out the viewing angles as well.I have brought several T.Vs through Amazon because of the price, free shipping (Prime) and Amazons return policy, but each time checked it at the store before my purchase. Ok now price, for the bang for your buck, you cannot go wrong with Vizio, compare this model with the name brands (Samsung, Sony Etc), and you will see it is hundreds even thousands less than these other models of the same size. Next the wireless and apps. Do you really buy a TV for streaming Netflix or Hulu etc? I certainly do not even consider this when buying a T.V. We have an HTPC (This is a Home Theater Personal Computer) hooked to ours and we stream everything we want through this. (More about Computer through this T.V later). I can tell you I have a Samsung Blu Ray player that is supposed to stream, it does not work very well either. Picture: OK, straight out of the box, you will not get the picture you were hoping for, you need to adjust the colors and back light etc. There are quite a few reviews in here that give you some settings to try or you can purchase a calibration disc. After playing with it for some time, I have got the picture I am happy with, but I also have different setting for Sports, Movies etc. Remember not all TV (satellite or Cable) broadcasts everything in HD including commercials, so sometimes it will not look great. Blu Ray: We put in Disney's Lion King as a sampler (after calibrating T.V) OMG just amazing, Blu Ray really is the only way to get the ultimate from your T.V, the picture is incredibly good and you will love it. Note here to novices, hooking up your new T. V with anything other than an HDMI Cable is a crime. You will not get a great picture without it. If you are using equipment that does not have HDMI (cable box, satellite receiver, DVD/ BD Player) then you need to upgrade them as well. Note about HDMI Cables, do not believe the hype about spending $50 on a cable will make the picture better. amazons basic will work just as well. Sound: Thin T.Vs right? Lots of Screen right? then the speakers (if the model your buying has them) are going to be tiny and you will not get the sound you want. Get yourself an amp and speakers, or a home theater set up, or if you don't want all that, research sound bars or consider one of the Bose surround sound boxes. Personal Computer: Running our Home Theater Personal Computer through this TV is incredible. Just imagine a 75 inch Monitor, crystal clear. We like to download 1080P Music videos and even they look amazing on the screen (again using HDMI). We have all our music on here too and we play back through our amp. Like all things electronic, you need to know what you are doing. If your not savvy with these products, then consult one of the tech services available, to get the most out of computer through your new TV. We run Windows 10 (has Apps and is stable) and I said earlier we use this rather than the apps and wireless that is available through the T.V. To sum up my purchase, for the price, you cannot beat the Vizio 75 Inch 4K. You can spend more, but you will get no better warranty with the other guys. This is my first Vizio product and so my review is subject to change, but after receiving it and watching for 2 days, we love our new TV. The reviews here are very variable and is it possible to get a lemon? Yes of course, other brands have them too. If you are worried about such a big purchase, then spend the extra on the warranty for peace of mind. My opinion is if it does not go out in a year, it will probably not and for that reason I seldom purchase extended warranties. I hope my review helps some of you with your decision. A lot of folks write very poor reviews or they are too technical and people do not always understand the terms. Remember these are peoples opinions not necessarily cold hard facts. We buy big ticket items from Amazon often, we do not own a truck and so buying at Costco etc is not really a cheap alternative, even if it is a 100 dollars cheaper their. I will add more to my review if we experience any issues, but for now we are happy to own this 75 inch TV. Oh the other plus here at Amazon, we got 12 months no interest with our Amazon card.
