  • The 2023 Vizio V-Series is an entry-level 4K Smart TV that supports Dolby Vision, HRD10 and HDR10+.
    Is it a bargain for a 4K TV?
    00:00 Intro
    00:37 Picture quality & Design
    01:33 Picture Modes & Settings
    01:54 Remote Control
    02:26 Vizio Smartcast & Mobile app
    03:27 Audio
    04:08 Streaming apps
    05:13 Google Chromecast & Apple Airplay
    05:53 TV antenna hookup
    6:17 Conclusion
    The 2023 V-Series offers a lot of value for its price. The V-Series has an intuitive remote and supports hands-free voice commands. But a few tweaks to its Smart TV platform SmartCast would go a long way with improving the overall user experience.

    I love my V-series 50" TV with tuner that I have in the bedroom. Picture is nice (once I got it dialed in) both in the dark and in bright situations. I don't use the game mode on that TV. I have an E-series 55" in the living room that, although it doesn't have Dolby vision, it does have 12 local dimming zones and better color after I dialed it in. For the average person, Smartcast would be fine. But, for me, I needed a few apps including HDHomerun, which Smartcast doesn't support. HDHomreun recommends Plex, which doesn't support 4K or ATSC 3.0... So I got an Onn (Walmart) Chromecast + Google TV 4K for the bedroom and a standard Nvidia Shield for the living room.

    Hey Jim, I can't find any help on my USB Flashdrive with MP4s on it, to play the whole movie (s). Only about 3 minutes of each. I have a Vizio 435 J01 HDR and it has 1 slot for USB 2.0. My flashdrive is a 3.0 that I am trying to use. I only have 2 options in formatting USB, NTFS or exFAT. So I tried another Flashdrive, also 3.0 with the FAT selection and it doesn't play the full shows either. Can you help me, or anyone that might read this?

    I do agree with you the SmartCast looks very similar to Google TV UI. I have a Vizio M Series 2015 55 inch and a Vizio P Series Quantum 2018 65" they both have Chromecast with Google TV 4K devices connected to them. Btw I'm not a fan of Vizio SmartCast UI.

      You definitely can, it's just very confusing at first because you have to pair it by treating your speaker/soundbar like headphones. It does work, though.

    SmartCast is a nightmare. It’s super glitchy. Matter of fact Vizio TV’s are a nightmare. I’m a Maintenance Director at a skilled nursing center. 6 months after installing Vizios TV’s the picture began to fail. We’ve had to replace 8 TV’s so far. They are not durable and most certainly aren’t designed for a setting where they’ll be on most of the time. Meanwhile the 10 year old LG’s are still holding up. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I just got one of these, and while the picture is great, there's a high-pitched electronic buzzing sound if you set the backlight too high (over 50) that's very apparent if you set your tv to low volume. If you game, settings are preset whenever you start it up and the buzzing is even worse. Playing with the options did not help.

    Do not buy the V series Vizio TVs. Bought one 7 days ago and found out that it will not display at 4K on my Xbox one S and Xbox Series X and PS5 it defaults to HDMI compatibility mode and scales back to 1080p this is not acceptable. I called Vizio customer support and she had me on hold for an hour and came back and said I had to upgrade to the M series to get 4k gaming this is BS. My LG did 4k no problem. I am returning it fuc Vizio.
