Product Reviews

For those of you considering this as a computer/gaming monitor, it ROCKS.

I have the M43-C1 4K UHD TV. It’s AWESOME.. Black is TRUE black (completely dark, thanks to active LED zones), and resolution is crisp. No pixel issues, and screen is semi-matte (no reflections thank you VIZIO!). I use it as my computer monitor @ 3840x2160. More monitor than I’ll ever need. The screen density at this size works out perfectly. It’s like a regular monitor only the borders are very far apart :) So I don’t have any text size issues. It supports every single resolution I threw at it, over HDMI. It has 5 HDMI ports, but the one you’ll want to hook up is HDMI5, which runs 4K@60hz. The PQ is remarkable, and the speed for gaming is adequate. I’m using it on my Alienware Alpha steam box that runs it at full resolution perfectly. For gaming I reduce the resolution to 1080p and it’s REALLY fast without any shearing or artifacts (just make sure your game has V-Sync enabled).Overall for $579 (From Costco), it was a steal in my opinion. Love love love it.Vizio is a lower end brand so they are competing on value and features. And this one is chock full of features–as I said earlier 5 HDMI ports, USB input, Component video, analog audio out, SPDIF optical port and a wired ethernet port. The app interface is quite snappy too. Much quicker than my Roku 2XS. It has built in wireless that supports 802.11ac, b, n and supports higher 5.0ghz band as well. It runs at 120hz and has the frame interpolation (aka home-video effect) which you can turn off, under the Reduce Jutter and Reduce Motion Blur settings. That way you get the true cinematic quality intended in movies. It has several picture modes (standard, calibrated, calibrated dark, vivid, game and computer). It has two native modes, 1080p and 2160p. It will automatically choose the mode needed for your resolution, but it won’t scale the video, so you will get black bars in the extra space if your ratio is not exactly the same as the native resolutions. Should you want to stretch or enlarge the picture, you can do that too. Another cool aspect is that the remote has a full keyboard on the backside. Just so awesome.. So many features compared to my brother in-law’s Samsung 4K TV which is very basic and cost 3 times as much (although it is a 55”). That TV didn’t even support screen cast from my Samsung Note 4, and it’s a Samsung. Jeez (you’d think!). Anyway, VIZIO has REALLY impressed me. For many years I avoided them like the plague but they really got their act together. A few other notable features; Surround sound, Volume Leveling, Lip Sync adjustments, Equalizer adjustments, auto brightness control, color temp settings, noise reduction, low latency setting (for gaming), color space and gamma controls, Timer settings (power, screen blank, screen saver, sleep), and a detailed System Information page.I purchased the matching VIZIO soundbar that takes SPDIF input and it pairs perfectly with the monitor, err… I mean TV :)

The absolute best picture available at any price . Impeccable service . Mor than 5 stars

I’m not sure how Amazon relates reviews to products . Many of the reviews here have no relationship to my TV , the 70in 4kM model 240hz ultra hd LED TV . Reviews vary from 40 in 42in 50 in 120 hs , non 4k TV . Careful what you read .Another caveat . Several reviews describe using this TVas a monitor for their computer or for gaming . I bought this for a home entertainment center. I suspect most others are looking for the same . So my review is for the M70 4k ultra hd smart LED hdtv 240 hs. For my stated purpose. If you want this for home entertainment my review is for you .The picture is beyond expectations . Crisp , no blur , no judder or sputter . You can watch formula.1 racing or Jason Spieths fastest swing with no blur . The picture needs tweaking . This takes less than 5 min.. Flesh tones are spot on . Set up is simple . The stands are good and hold this monster stable . Viewing from any angle is great to awesome. No bad . The picture is far better than any movie theatre .in any mode , 4k or not , the picture is clear ,crisp and as I said awesome . The 4k from Netflex rivals Ansel Adams for clarity and detail . Nature documentaries put you in the scene. Though not 3d it feels like it . The depth of colors is natures own .No one wishing a home theatre would expect the sound from ANY TV screen to be adequate. I have 7 speakers , a great receiver , a giant twin speaker ( heavy ) woofer from THX . Two rear speakers are imbedded in the ceiling . You are NOT buying this TV to be a sound system . You are buying a truly superb picture . It’s senseless to comment on the sound quality. Quality sound is impossible in any flat screen. So , expect to spend whatever your budget can stand for sound .So how do I rate this TV . I wish I could give 10 stars . You cannot do better for picture quality. I recommend a good audio sound specialist or a name brand system . Don’t forget your theater chairs , popcorn machine , etc.. I could add tech talk . But , why! Enjoy . My puppy loves the picture.One additional important point . Using Amazon prime the set arrived when promised . Two very nice men unboxed , set the screen on the stands , plugged it in and waited to be sure there was no damage or grey screen . Making sure we were pleased they then carried away the debris.

TV Dead 16 months later…

After only 16 months there’s now two grey lines across the entire screen. The colors and resolution also looks like crap.

Three Stars

it’s okay wish I had gotten a big TV. I haven’t had any problems so far.

Dead after 2 years

We purchased this TV in August of 2015.it was great for the first two years, but it died today. The picture does not work at all and it looks like someone pressed their thumb into…

Vizio Quality Is Gone

Purchased this television in October 2015. Within a few weeks it fried its motherboard. At that time it was under the factory warranty so it was repaired quickly. It is only 1.

Good product at a reasonable price compared to its competitors …

Good product at a reasonable price compared to its competitors however, I am giving it two stars purely due to the fact that the TV did not last more than 1.
