VIZIO M60-C3 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV

Screen is great and menu system is easy to use.
It took a little while to adjust to the screen. The picture is so sharp that it is as though I were looking at a professional still photo in motion.
Really beautiful screen. Using it mostly for presentations - makes a good big screen monitor.
This television offers gorgeous crisp 4k resolution, with true color representation across all colors of the rainbow.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the purchase. The screen has very little bezel and looks fantastic, especially with native 4K material.

What customers say about "Video"

LG 55SJ8500 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2017 Model)

Good picture quality, nice sound, lightweight, easy to navigate smart tv functionality.
The picture and quality is very good for the price and the wifi and extra features which I am still learning about are decent.
The picture clarity is flawless and it's a really thin unit to have on your wall.
It has a great picture as I'd expect from LG.
The picture is great. I love LG TVs and this is another great one.

VIZIO M60-C3 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV

Contrast is excellent on this tv and I see very little halo effects with bright areas near dark.
The brightness, crispness, and contrast looks great, and I found myself making very little tweaks to get the type of picture I enjoy.

LG 55SJ8500 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2017 Model)

Sound is really good also, great speakers.
It’s a really nice tv. Great picture and sound. I recommend this purchase.
The picture is great. The sound is good, not great, but good.
It sounds really good for not being hooked up to a real sound system.
The colors are amazing! The sound is unbeatable and I love all the apps that are included.

VIZIO M60-C3 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV

The built in speakers are even ok.
I can't note anything about the speakers because I immediately hooked it up to my soundbar but they sounded fine the few minutes they were on.
Surround sound actually is quite impressive, I use the TV for treble and a sound bar for bass, works out well.
Speakers aren't the greatest, but would get by if needed.
Only one negative is the speakers are just horrible. Not sure if there is a setting I need to adjust or what but I have to turn it up all the way to hear it.

What customers say about "Interfaces"

LG 55SJ8500 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2017 Model)

Fantastic picture, installation was easy. Just plug it in and follow the on-screen guide.
The connections on the back of the set are easy to see and access.
It connected to my home Wifi network in the usual fashion and with the Magic Remote, surfing, googling, finding things online is a snap.
There are four HDMI ports for transmitting video and digital data. I used them for my cable box, my Blue Ray disc player, and my Apple TV. There are also three USB ports.
The HDMI ports got screwed up and now I don't have audio. LG doesn't want to do anything about it.

VIZIO M60-C3 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV

I'm using a receive with optical output, which sounds great.
And using sound-capable HDMI cables eliminated a lot of cabling with the Uverse box and Blu-Ray.
Gaming on Xbox One looks fantastic. Make sure to use HDMI 5 for gaming.
The Tv did not recognize the hard drive, so I read online manual and it say that the usb connection is only for flash drive, and is not compatible with external hard drive.
Only challenge is the audio, from attached HDMI sources, can occasionally not play. restarting the device in question (turn off or on) tends to fix it.
