My five year old LG burned out, probably from a power surge. This was its replacement. So I am comparing it to that one. This one has strange sound issues. A lot of what I watch has these strange breaks in the sound when the volume get low, almost like a mute circuit. You don't miss much but it is distracting. Also, the picture washes out as you get off center, much worse than the LG was. While the LG did cost more five years ago, it was the budget model then too. I keep it off the internet because I cant stream out here in the country anyway and that keeps it from constantly down load updates and junk. My experience with technology is you don't update unless there is an issue. I am much happier since I turned off all that extra audio stuff and told it to use plain audio.
I love this 4K Smart TV! Vizio makes high-quality products that last for a long time, and this is the latest in the line of Vizio televisions I own. This baby is feature-packed beyond belief and I am impressed and happy with this purchase. I love that it can cast apple or android content since we are a mixed device home, and it has all the streaming apps you can imagine ready to go.
