Title: Diamond in the Rough
Review: These features at this price, we are at a very good point for technology. Great picture, decent sound (when Volume Leveling is enabled in the sound settings). And, it actually IS an HDR TV! (However), i tried multiple things to enable HDR on my PC, adding a registry setting to enable HDR, something that can happen when upgrading to Win10, look it up for more info. Going through the TVs settings. Nothing seemed to work.. but then i had a thought, try a different HDMI cable. DING DING! Even though i was using a Vizio branded HDMI cable which should have allowed HDR, switching cables immediately allowed HDR to be selectable. If you have trouble with HDR your HDMI cable may be the cause. (HDR works with the Vizio branded HDMI btw after initially being enabled by switching cables)Regarding picture and HDR.Firstly, you SHOULD lower the Backlight to at least 50%, between 50 and 75% will do. Mostly because its way too bright, but also because lowering it will lengthen the lifespan of the LEDs compared to always being at 100%. And yes, BACKLIGHT, Not the Normal Brightness, that should be left alone and kept at 50, so only lower the Backlight.Secondly, HDR. When its turned on using a PC things can get EXTREMELYYYY BRIGHTTTT! Especially White! As my 1st experience with HDR i had no idea what to expect, So you will definitely want to lower its effect either through Windows HDR settings or through the TVs specific HDR setting, which i suggest doing.Games look AMAZING on this TV (picture settings should be changed to suit your needs), but everything looks great including Netflix etc. But games along with HDR and the TVs Game Mode and Low Latency mode is where it truly shines i think.And thats about it.. The only thing i dont like about this TV is it doesnt have an ethernet port, but WIFI 5 does just fine, but being able to use 1 or the other as a backup would have been nice.. Obviously a decent Router/Connection will help with this.Last Update: Regarding what i said about Sound still applies WITH Sound Leveling enabled, BUT as the TV allows connecting to Bluetooth Headphones AND Speakers that is the definitive way to go if you require better sound quality. The headphone jack also allows you to use an Aux cable with a bluetooth speaker which i highly recommend, WIRED audio quality will ALWAYS be better than Wireless/Bluetooth and its actually what i use when i gave both a try.Another Last update: Alexa usage, I grouped the TV with my office lighting so that when i say office on both the tv and the light turn on, same for saying office off, when im going out or going to bed they both turn off at the same time. I find this very handy instead of having to use the remote to do so, especially if in a hurry.And a bit of advice that EVERYONE can use whether buying this tv or not. As with most electronics it is BEST and recommended to use a decent Surge Protector to protect your electronics. Protecting our expensive toys is always a good thing to do.Another Update: Power usage, Normal PC/Built in Smart App usage you are looking at about 20watts, with the TV off (depending on settings, i.e Alexa control enabled etc, its around 10watts, you can turn those settings off to further reduce draw while Off if you so choose. So its very capable when it comes to using it with backup power or even a 150w Inverter and a 20V battery (Craftsman) for example as i tested earlier to gauge power usage.Latest update: Now using a 120W 2.0 Sound Bar with an Optical cable connected to the TVs optical port, cant beat a $40 ONN Walmart sound bar on clearance for $17, bought 2 as i knew they would sell quickly :). Definitely better than using an Aux splitter to connect 2 Bluetooth speakers for "stereo" sound, though they did do the job very nicely. Anything is better than the TVs speakers though, but even the TVs speakers can sound decent if set up the way i previously mentioned, this probably applies to similar Vizio TVs as well assuming they have the same sound settings.Jul 10th 2024: Tomorrow (11th) will mark 1 Year of owning this TV, absolutely no issues, was definitely worth getting. Hard to believe its already been a year. My only issue as previously mentioned is it doesnt have an ethernet port, dont get me wrong, WIFI 5 is PLENTY, but it would have been nice to have a backup connection down the road, just in case.Quality Surge Protection or even a small $60 300watt UPS with it built in is a must have for our toys, keep your tech safe.One last thing regarding VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), this is a CONSOLE specific function, it is not available with PC use, Consoles that have that feature Only. In case anyone was curious about it or complained they couldn't get it to work on PC, that would be why.Hope this helps <3

Title: Pleased with Purchase (Vizio 24-In D-Series FHD Smart TV)
Review: Our 19-inch Dynex kitchen TV finally died. We purchased the Vizio 24-In D-Series FHD Smart TV. Setup was easy and pretty self-explanatory.I called our cable provider and they helped me set up the AT&T remote for our cable channels. I also called Vizio (who answered promptly and were very helpful) to ask if there was any way to change cable channels using the Vizio remote since there is no keypad on the remote. They explained that cable provider channels can only be accessed through the cable provider's remote. The Vizio remote is basically to access the built-in Apps that come with the TV for those who don't subscribe to cable.I noticed when watching some of the HD News Channels, the top of the screen displayed 720p. Per Vizio and AT&T, HD is 720p and full HD is 1080p. Some channels do NOT broadcast in full 1080p HD which is why 720p was displayed. I didn't know this, so thought I'd pass it along in case anyone is confused. The TV is capable of full 1080p if that is how the program is broadcasted.Both the picture and sound quality are very good in my estimation, and for our kitchen needs. The picture was easy to adjust to our liking. Our former TV was on a pedestal and I thought the feet on this TV would be a problem as far as turning the unit at an angle on our countertop, but not a problem. It is also very light in weight. When viewed from a side-angle the TV does become a bit washed-out, but this is probably true of most of these smaller units. It fits nicely on the kitchen counter and does not butt up against the upper cabinets.Using the Vizio remote, I was able to click on the built-in apps (Netflix, Prime, Hulu, etc.) and log in to our accounts by typing in user name and password. If logging in to a streaming service already provided by our AT&T cable service, I scanned the code on the TV screen and logged in via my cell phone by selecting our cable provider. It worked seamlessly.We've only had the unit one day, but we're very happy so far.

Title: Impressive 24â Smart TV
Review: Itâs very difficult to find a TV smaller than 32â today, thank goodness for Vizio D-Series 24â. Great picture quality, very thin bezel frame that gives it a sleek look and a simple to use Smart TV browser. Only two minor complaints, the remote control doesnât always work when using the circular touch pad for making a selection. Other issue is the 2 watts audio output, I have to put the volume high to properly hear. On the plus side the TV is Bluetooth capable, when connected to a decent wireless headphone is the audio is great. Overall this is a great TV at a terrific price.

Title: Excellent Television For Our Camper
Review: We bought this TV for our Camper, we absolutely love it! The quality of the picture is great! I especially love all of the menu options for customization overall. The performance is great! This TV is super easy to connect to the network and it seems to have an excellent Refresh Rate! We also love that you can use a phone app as a remote. Comes in handy when the remote goes missing. Lol The only issue Iâve had is I have not been able to connect my iPhone for some reason to the Apple Play feature, Iâm sure Iâm the one doing something wrong, not the TV. I highly recommend.
