Call it a dumb TV, but it's all you need. I'll explain...
This TV isn't technically a TV, just a monitor, or 'home theater display' as they like to call it, but I'll call it a TV for this review because it's nearly the same. That's because it doesn't have an internal antenna. Which means you need to purchase a cable box to get any channels, which you would do anyway. No it's not the thinnest TV, and it doesn't come with all the 'Smart' features that everything else on the marked has, but it's the TV you need. The bells and whistles of other TVs are nice, but pointless.
This VIZIO TV is just what you need. If you want to watch TV, you are going to most-likely have a cable box. Simply change to that input and you have your normal TV setup from your cable company. Want to watch a movie? There's a good chance you have it on your phone, or tablet, or laptop. Simply use the internal ChromeCast capabilities of the TV to cast your movie. No need for any extra remotes. I also use the TV for playing games, and the TV comes with 4 HDMI inputs that you can name on your TV. This way you can go to your Xbox input, or your PS4 input with the click of a button.
Long story short, this TV is as dumb as it gets, but that's all you need. It's a perfect size (55in) display that can show beautiful 4K without charging you for extras. Its 4 HDMI ports and ChromeCast capabilities are awesome and very useful. A similar specced Smart TV will cost you at least $200 more.
In my opinion, all you need is the display because your peripherals (Xbox, DVD player, cable box) cover everything else. The Smart TV duplicates a lot of this and is unnecessary. If you're in the market for a shiny new TV and don't want to spend a lot for something you won't use that much, this is a great TV. Hope this review helps!
