Ultra portable Bluetooth speaker with a surprisingly bigger 360-degree stereo sound that’s crisp, bassy, and ready to go with 14 hours of boom — anywhere you go. WONDERBOOM 3 is your ultimate companion whether you're at the tailgate, a pool party, at home, or even in the shower.
 
Great sound from an unstable shape.

Easy to use, good sounding, convenient size. The rounded shape provides great strength against damage if it hits the floor by mistake. The rounded shape insures it rolls off flat surfaces with very encouragement.

Best in class contrast and black levels, great color, excellent Google TV "smart app" system. I purchased this TV at Best Buy for $150 less than the same TV with the Roku smart app system. I consider the two "smart app" systems equivalent--except the Google TV system integrates better with my Google Pixel phone. I've purchased three "6-series" TCL sets. There is no better value if picture quality is very important. Sound quality is the same as any TV--mediocre. Get a real sound system.

If you have a full-frame digital camera, the chances are it came with what's called a "kit" zoom. That's a lens that covers 28-70mm or so, no faster than f3.5 at the wide end and f4.5 or so at 50mm. That lens can't be used in low-light without a flash--and flash makes ugly pictures in dim light. This lens two stops faster than that kit lens over most of its range. Which means you can take pictures indoors or in low light outside without a flash. AND, when it does that, it throws everything but the subject into soft focus. That looks MUCH better than everything near and far being in more or less sharp focus. That's what phone cameras do.
Plus it comparatively cheap. BTW, if your camera is APS-C (Nikon DX, for insance), then the equivalent lens is the 35mm f1.8.
I also used for astrophotos with the camera on a tripod, taking 6-8 second images.

Celebrate VIZIO’s 20th Anniversary with the new VIZIO V-Series 4K Dolby Vision HDR Smart TV - the first 4K TV with ultra-fast tri-band Wi-Fi 6E built in. America’s Smart TV allows you to access millions of movies, shows, sports, news, free channels, and more in seconds. New features include smoother gaming, faster speeds, and Bluetooth headphone capability optimized with built-in streaming. Smart. Fast. It’s 4K for all.
 

Can I completely avoid use of the SmartCast platform? I use a Roku StreamBar on an old Vizio w/o StreamCast, connect the StreamBar thru HDMI ARC and only see the Roku platform. Can I do same with this updated Vizio?

I use my Vizio with the Roku Express 4K+ streaming box. You have to go through a few menu choices each time you turn on the Vizio (basically, select the input with the Roku box on it), but the Roku system is worth the minor annoyance.

What is the difference between the D series and V series?

FROM https://www.cnn.com/cnn-underscored/electronics/vizio-2022-tvs-d-v-m-p-series

The entry-level D-Series remains bare-boned, while the V-Series is an entry point for 4K resolution. The midtier M-Series boasts some higher-end features that will appeal to gamers, and the flagship P-Series, with local dimming zones, should bring the most precise content-viewing experience.
I own a V-Series 43 inch model. It's picture is "good" but way behind my 4 yr old TCL 6-series "local dimming" 55 inch TV. I use the Vizio with a 4k Roku streaming box because the streaming options on the Vizio are mediocre. At 43 inch and below, I would now recommend someone purchase a TCL with "Roku" built-in or splurge for a real "local dimming" set of 55 inches or more.

Why don’t my video camera pop up on my tv , when I ask Google.

If you have plugged the camera into an HDMI input, you ask the Google App to open the specific HDMI input (like "Open HDMI 2").

 Sony - 85" ClassX900H Series LED 4K UHD Smart Android TV
Sony - 85" ClassX900H Series LED 4K UHD Smart Android TV
Watch glorious 4K images on this 85-inch Sony 4K TV. The 4K X-Reality PRO technology upscales films in 2K and Full HD closer to 4K resolution for vivid details. Advanced voice control on this 85-inch Sony 4K TV lets you find favorite movies and shows as fast as you can talk.
 

My TV Stand is 59 inches by 18 inches , will this fit on my stand Thanks

I answered this incorrectly previously, sorry. The feet are 60 inches apart, not 44.5 inches. A stand that is 59 X 18 is too small.

Does this TV has two alternate width for the stand, One 60 inch and another one narrower? Samsung TVs all have this. Thank you!

The feet are 17.5 inches front to back and fit into sockets 60 inches apart on the bottom of my 85 inch X900H. There are no "closer in" sockets. The 85 inch version of the set weighs 103 pounds and is quite stable using the feet, if the supporting surface is completely stable. I subsequently wall-mounted mine. I can't imagine the feet being stable enough if they were closer together. It's a big set.

The feet are 17.5 inches deep (front to back). When attached to the TV, the feet are approx. 44.5 inches apart. So yes, this TV will "sit" on the stand you describe. But the TV weighs 103 pounds. I would only trust this TV on a stand if the stand was firmly attached to a solid object (couldn't move at all) and the feet were clamped to the stand.

What is the distance from the top of the tv to the top holes for wall mounting?

My Sony 85" X900H has a 400mm mounting hole pattern. The top holes are approx. 21.5 inches from the top of the TV.

How many HDMI ports that are 2.1

I have attached a jpg of Sony's current statement regarding HDMI 2.1 and the XBRX900H models (among others).
Essentially
4k120, eARC, VRR and ALLM will be supported in a "future" software update.
8k60 will not be supported.
I have an 85" X900H, but I don't use any of these features. So I can't tell you if the update has occurred yet.
I suspect not.

Does this tv provide separate WiFi capability without utilizing an Ethernet connection?

I own the XBR-85X900H. Yes, this TV has WIFI. It can connect to your WIFI router without an ethernet cable. I believe this applies to all Sony "X900H" tv sizes.

What is the VESA configuration? 800x400?

The four threaded VESA sockets are 400 X 400. Four 20mm long "extension" studs were included with my XBR-85900H. These have a threaded bold on one end and a threaded socket on the other end. I believe these extensions have to be used, since the VESA sockets are slightly recessed. Love the TV, by the way.
