I am an epic gamer. I said avid, but I’ll take epic as well. Thank you and Vizio… The features that this TV has for the money most TVs don’t have for 2 to 3 times the amount. Usually my other home entertainment here is held back by my TV now, it is the other way around! they say you need two people to set the TV up if you’re decent wingspan on you and do you understand that you must pull the box out and lay the TV on its face and put the legs on and then pick it back up without touching the screen… And you know what you need to do. Also, I highly recommend leaving the bag on the television until you get it into the place you want it. Use the handles on the bag to lift the TV and to get it into place. You cannot touch the screen to pick up the TV and there is no frame which is good so use the damn bag like I said! Lol once you get the TV into place you can cut the bag off with a razor blade or a pair of scissors. The bag is very sturdy and should not be able to be ripped with your hands unless you’re Freddy Krueger, the controller is very intuitive and has a working microphone. The TV also has something called Viziogram that allows you to make your own screensaver mode. That’s very cool. It’s a very cool TV for the money. I didn’t even need a TV and I bought it very happy with it.

I love it! No issues and with great picture HD quality. At a great price

Upgraded from an older 4K Vizio, UI is lightning fast, display QLED is so good, 120HZ on gaming mode from the HDMI is crisp, games look better from PS5 than on old tv by a mile!

UPDATE: After exactly 1 year, the optical output on the TV broke. Now I am stuck using the TV's built-in speakers because there is also no analog audio output on this TV. Combined with the issues listed below, I can confidently say avoid this TV.I settled on this TV after a long and frustrating search - Most QLED panels are VA type, which gives inky black contrast that, when combined with full array local dimming, gives OLED panels a run for their money in HDR, but sacrifices viewing angle. For my application however, the viewing angle was important, and OLED was out of my price range, so I needed an IPS panel, which has better off-center picture quality but can’t really make black pixels black, they end up looking gray. And I wanted a TV with quantum dots for the vibrant color and brightness. I figured that modern local dimming tech, where the backlight dims in darker areas of the image to allow black pixels to be darker and improve the dynamic range of the display (HDR), would be good enough for my application. It wouldn’t rival an OLED, but it would be an improvement on past TV’s without this tech and negate the disadvantages of IPS, or so I thought…The only 75” panels I could find with IPS and QLED at first were a series of TV’s by LG. The LG TV’s were a little lower in price than this Vizio, but they used edge-lit displays, which can’t really do local dimming because they do not have the ability to turn down the backlight behind specific parts of the image. After a lot of searching, I came across this product, which I was thrilled to find was QLED, IPS, and full array local dimming. It wasn’t well loved by tech reviewers, seemingly mostly due to software, and underwhelming HDR performance compared to the VA-panel equipped competition. The poor ratings of dynamic range were all done with the local dimming turned off, which is no surprise as IPS panels can’t make pixels fully dark. But I figured that was an unfair measure and the dynamic range would be greatly helped by the full array local dimming. I figured this was the only option that met my criteria.When I first set up the TV, I was extremely disappointed in the picture quality. There was simultaneously a lack of detail in the highlights and the shadows, and really inconsistent picture quality across a variety of content sources. I went into the settings to see what I could do to adjust the picture.Turns out the culprit is extremely poor software calibration for the local dimming HDR feature. High, Medium, or Low local dimming all created an over processed image that looks almost like when you convert a video file through multiple formats, as well as deeply unconvincing HDR. But when you disable the local dimming feature, VOILA! The picture quality became excellent. Even watching HDR demo videos isn’t too disappointing, because while the blacks aren’t that black, the screen gets very bright in the bright parts.It is worth noting that to execute local dimming HDR, the TV has to know precisely where the lighting zones start and end, must intelligently adjust the backlight brightness of each zone, and adjust the “brightness” of the pixels in that zone to account for an inconsistent amount of light being pushed through them. This takes sophisticated software calibration to achieve, but once you do it, it’s free to copy it to every TV you make.It is extremely disappointing that this TV has the hardware I want but the software calibration of the HDR feature is SO atrocious it is COMPLETELY UNUSABLE. I’m left thinking that they just copied software from a VA panel calibration and gave an intern half a week to fiddle with variables. This TV has the hardware I was looking for but because they couldn’t be bothered to do the software right, I may as well have dropped my local dimming requirement and bought an LG panel with edge lighting for less money.That said, for a non-HDR IPS QLED, the image quality is very good. The complaints about the usability of the smart features are overblown, it’s not any worse than any other mainstream smart TV software - considerably better than Samsung’s - and the remote control is actually quite nice to use. Plus, I notice that the reflections on the screen are much less clear/bright than they are on my other (LG) TV so perhaps its worth the extra money over the LG IPS panel just for that superior reflection handling. In any case, I’m not going to return it. It’s going to serve my needs just fine.But I’m warning you: There is no good picture quality on this TV unless you DISABLE one of its HEADLINE FEATURES: full array local dimming. And the only reason for that is bad software calibration. Try harder, Vizio; and if getting full array local dimming to work properly on an IPS display actually is impossible, then why build this panel?

Long as you turn off hardware acceleration the pictures clean, the graphics work, and I can enjoy various games in high fidelity from the comfort of an armchair!If you want a PC monitor turned into a TV this is probably the best buy but it doesn't do MULTIPLE high-fidelity plugged in. It has ONE DEDICATED HDMI PORT for intense graphical fidelity and hertz but the rest are 60fps meh-sockets.I have a work monitor and my game monitor hooked up to this thing. Works fine switching channels but it's a rather annoying one that wants you to do a "Setup" if you press the wrong button instead of just being a friggen TV which again I hate but I knew I signed up for with the whole "Modern TV" thing..Also it wants me to talk about "Thickness" which is eh. It's pretty thin and scares me but then again I had thicker tv's in the past and went from old CRT's to this.Durability I guess it's ok? Screen scares me but then again I seen my cat headbutt it and she can sometimes hit me in the teeth so hard I need to mirror-check myself with that so it seems fine for what it is.

So far, so good! Excellent 4K picture quality. Purchased to replace my 49" Samsung which failed within 2 years. This is my second Vizio and I've never been disappointed with their televisions.
