CNET Editors' Rating
4 out of 5 stars.

The good

The affordable Vizio M series has excellent overall picture quality that competes well against even more expensive TVs. It can handle both high-dynamic-range formats. The remote is a fully functional Android tablet. The Google Cast system offers more apps and frequent updates than many dedicated smart-TV systems.

The bad

Using the tablet for settings and streaming apps is often more of a hassle than traditional onscreen menus. No built-in tuner, so you can't watch over-the-air antenna broadcasts unless you attach a separate tuner.

The bottom line

Despite the inconvenience of its tablet-based menus and apps, the Vizio M series' excellent image quality and value make it a top choice for the price.

The overall rating is 8.5 out of 10.
  • Design rating is 7.0 out of 10.
  • Features rating is 8.0 out of 10.
  • Performance rating is 8.0 out of 10.
  • Value rating is 10.0 out of 10.
