VIZIO 50" Class SmartCast D-Series FHD (1080P) Smart Full-Array LED TV (D50f-F1) (2018 Model)

I purchased this TV about a month ago and I'm still finding awesome features that it can do. My favorite feature is that I can stream Rifftrax from my Chomebook and my wife and I can pause the playback and adjust the volume using our Android phones. Very versatile TV. I had some trouble with the TV loosing the Internet connect daily after turning on in the evenings. I found that changing the channel and channel width from 40 to 20 on my WiFi router and changing the TV from DHCP to Manual network fixed it. I also found a review for color calibration settings and applied those settings and manual adjustments. The colors and crispness of the display are impressive.

I had trouble with my old 24" monitor. I have already acquired 2 Vizio monitors(smart TVs) which I use with my computer and to view UTube videos, etc. So I ordered a 24" Vizio. After I ordered the Vizio, I found out the other monitor was not defunct. But I will not now part with my Vizio, I love it. All Vizio products that I have bought have been excellent and fulfilled all my expectations.

I HAVE A PRIOR VIZIO 32 INCH. LOVE THE TV. BOUGHT A 43 INCH AND I BROKE IT. CALLED VIZIO FOR ASSISTANCE. THEY SENT ME A REPLACEMENT AND IT HAD A CRACKED SCREEN. HAD TO RETURN IT...STILL WAITING ON DIRECTIONS TO RECEIVE A REPLACEMENT. STILL LOVE VIZIO......NANCY D.

Overall quality is what I expected. I already own 2 other Vizio sets a 37" and a 70". My concern is with distorted audio at low volume. Tried lowering and raising the volume supplied by cable box but problem remains the same. Neither of my other sets have this issue.

This is my 4th Vizio TV and all have had great pictures and as all flat screens do, suffers from less than quality sound because of the speakers and their placement. However a good soundbar seems to solve the problem. This is my first "smart tv" and like all my "smart" devices the designers seem to think they know more about what I want installed by default than I do. Just make the apps and options available to me and I will take what I want. Also please make it very easy for me to uninstall apps I don't want. I will keep buying Vizio products until they give me a reason to stop.

First - the picture quality of this this TV is wonderful. It's just what I wanted: a small TV that still has high resolution (1080p) and refresh (60hz). This is a wall mounted kitchen TV, so I didn't need anything huge or ultra HD; primarily I'll use it for sports on the weekend, news while cooking, and the occasional kids show. While the picture quality is just what I need, the remote is frustratingly touchy and/or unresponsive. Simple actions, like changing inputs or typing in a channel, are frustratingly difficult. The buttons don't have much height to them, are hard to locate, and don't respond reliably. In short, it feels like a cheap interface and it doesn't perform to expectations. The Smart features of the TV feel weak so far. I was really hoping to have a TV with everything built in; this is a wall mounted kitchen TV with no room for peripherals, dongles, etc, but I'm disappointed in the sluggish performance of the built in features. Startup is slow, and we've had problems with the TV remembering our WiFi. It's frustrating and makes me want to connect a Roku. And finally, the biggest reason I bought this TV vs. others in its class was for the built in Chromecast. It's a wonderful idea, and would perfect for where I'm putting the TV - no dongle, no power cord. I just wished it worked better and with the same functionality as a real, external Chromecast device. Specifically, I am finding screen casting of my Android phone to this TV to be slow and laggy. My WiFi signal is very strong where the TV is so that doesn't seem to be the reason. And, I am forced to resort to screen casting because the Vizio built in Chromecast is often not recognized by my phone or by specific apps on my phone, like YouTube and Watch ESPN. WatchESPN specifically is NOT compatible with Vizio smartcast TVs; this is a known issue, as I have discovered, but it's very frustrating as watching sports via cast while I cook and clean was one of the main reasons I bought this TV in the first place. I have another standalone Chromecast in the house and can perform direct comparisons; so far, the built in "Chromecast" just isn't as good. Disappointing. Maybe I'll plug it in to this time when I need it, but I was hoping to avoid the hassle of moving my dongle from TV to TV. I'll continue to investigate and with with the TV. Maybe it'll get better? Long story short, first month impressions: great picture, features not to to par.

I bought this TV directly from Vizio as I have 4 sets in my home. This was a disappointment as I could not get this television to find my regular cable channels at all. Only Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc. I put it in a relatively unused bedroom, swapped it out for the 32" Visio and "voila" this one found channels, I didn't know I had. I was going to send one to my granddaughter, but decided against it. The directions were not very helpful either.

after trying to for a couple hours to get tv channels, finally read in the small print that if you want to use an antenna you have to buy an external one from some 3rd party but doesn't say what kind to buy or where.It does have a good picture from my wifi but eats up my bandwidth. If you just need a monitor it is good.

I'll never buy Vizio again! I bought this Vizio TV for the guest room. We barely used and lasted only one year! One week ( that I tried to turn on) after the warranty expired the TV simply didn't turn on. I called to see if they would honor the warranty they said no! I replied that the tv was turned on at most 30 times in one year and asked how a tv so new could just go like that! There was no explanation, no help! I had many TVs through out my life and this never happened! Don't buy Vizio because they sell a defective product that lasts a year! I'm happy with the other brands like Insignia ( first time buying it and it is lasting a long time!)Bye bye Vizio!

Sure it connects to the internet but you can’t customize anything. We went from a regular tv with a roku to this smart tv. The picture is nice but the smart aspect of it really sucks. Can’t put your own apps on it like showtime, HBO go, the newer version of Hulu. The smartcast remote app is even worse. You have to swipe in the opposite direction of where youre trying to go so dont lose your remote unless youre ready for frustration.
