We have always had good luck with Vizio, so when our old TV went out, Vizio was the brand we wanted to go with. We felt the price of this TV was reasonable and within our budget. Since we have Hulu and Netflix subscriptions, we were happy this TV came equipped with those apps, as well as many others. Unfortunately, however, the streaming itself has been nothing but problems. It continually freezes and stalls, and when we try to get our local channels through SmartCast, we usually have to end up unplugging and re-plugging the TV in to get it to un-freeze. Regardless if this is a so-called "budget" TV, it's not worth the price. Sadly, we are very disappointed with this TV and will likely return it to the store.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I’ve had this since Thanksgiving and it has been a wonderful addition. I did have to reset it once due to it loosing connectivity with our internet. Once reset to factory, you do need to complete all passwords again, other than that I love it!
