CNET Editors' Rating

The good

The affordable Vizio M-Series has better overall picture quality than anything else at its price, and in some ways outperforms even more expensive TVs. It can handle both HDR10 and Dolby Vision high-dynamic-range formats. The Chromecast built-in system offers more apps and more frequent updates than many dedicated smart TV systems, and can even be controlled by a Google Home speaker.

The bad

Not as bright as some competitors. No built-in tuner, so you can't watch over-the-air antenna broadcasts unless you attach a separate tuner. Mediocre external design and poor smart TV onscreen menus. Only one HDMI input is compatible with every 4K HDR source.

The bottom line

The Vizio M-Series remains the best choice for mainstream budgets that prioritize image quality over everything else.

Design rating is 7.0 out of 10.
Features rating is 9.0 out of 10.
Performance rating is 8.0 out of 10.
Value rating is 10.0 out of 10.

Purchased this TV for my parents' bedroom and it's worked flawlessly ever since. Menu systems are a breeze as are the picture customization controls. In addition, it has stronger wifi link-up than the attached Roku Soundbar my parents use with it. It's my second of these units as I own the 65" in my living room. Definitely great to have HDR10+ and Dolby Vision as we/they watch combinations of services that require each (i.e. Netflix and Amazon Prime Video).

I love TV, but I wish I can just screen share or (smart view) like before. Now it lame that I am force to use internet (WIFI) to smart view, mirroring, or Chromecast. Like other TV allows this awesome feature. But after some update ago it block this and forces us(me) to use and have Wi-Fi. If anything can we(me) have this back. Not everyone can get or have Wi-Fi.

Works well and any small nitpicks I had with it were quickly ironed out with firmware updates. Picture quality is good and has nice gaming features. Use my steam deck and switch with no problems on it.
