This is our 4th HD Vizio and we love them all. I actually returned a 65 inch 4K Vizio that I bought the prior day because the picture was too dark and instead bought this one. The picture is in line with what we have come to expect from our other sets which leads me to believe there was an issue with the other one.
This is a hard set to complain about for the price you pay. There are definitely better pictures but from what I can tell they all cost $500 or more to get similar or better quality. We actually prefer this picture to other that were considerably more expensive. Matter of preference like most things but we love the Vizio look.
The only cons are the speakers and the very basic remote that you get with this set. The speakers aren't an issue as we have it running through an entertainment system. They would be awful otherwise. A sound bar would also do the trick.
The remote is also not an issue just a bit of an annoyance. You actually have as much, or more control, once you download the ap. Once set there is very seldom a need to adjust anything and the convenience of being able to stream from your phone or tablet is worth the very basic included remote.
**please note that there is no internal tuner so you will have to have an external source for a broadcast.. This will not be an issue if you already have cable, dish or satellite.
We are very happy with the Vizio line. Typically I live by the idea that you get what you pay for but I think this is definitely the exception and one of the better values in large HD sets. It's especially the case in regards to a 70 inch set.
