If you are looking for a 4K smart TV that offers great picture quality, fast connectivity, and easy access to your favorite streaming services, you might want to check out the Vizio SmartCast 655M-K03 TV. This 65-inch TV is part of Vizio's V-Series lineup, which aims to deliver 4K for all at an affordable price. In this review, we will take a closer look at the features and performance of this TV and see if it lives up to its promise.

The Vizio SmartCast 655M-K03 TV features a VA panel with Direct LED backlighting and a native resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. It supports high dynamic range (HDR) content in Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HDR10+ formats, which means it can display a wider range of colors and contrast than standard dynamic range (SDR) content. The TV also has an IQ Active Processor that optimizes the picture quality for every scene.

The picture quality of this TV is impressive, especially for its price range. The colors are vibrant and accurate, thanks to the Dolby Vision support and the wide color gamut. The contrast is also high, with deep blacks and bright whites. The details are sharp and clear, even in fast-moving scenes or dark areas. The viewing angles are decent, although some color shifting may occur when viewed from extreme angles.

The only downside of this TV's picture quality is that it does not have local dimming or full-array backlighting, which means it cannot adjust the brightness of different zones on the screen independently. This can result in some blooming or haloing around bright objects on dark backgrounds or some loss of contrast in very bright scenes. However, this is not a deal-breaker for most viewers and does not affect the overall picture quality significantly.

The Vizio SmartCast 655M-K03 TV boasts one of the fastest and most reliable connectivity options among smart TVs today. It has WiFi 6E Tri-Band support, which means it can connect to three different frequency bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) simultaneously for faster streaming and less interference from other devices. It also has Bluetooth capability, which allows you to pair your wireless headphones or speakers with the TV easily.

The TV has four HDMI ports (one with eARC), one USB port, one Ethernet port, one optical audio output, one analog audio output, and one antenna/cable input. The HDMI ports support AMD FreeSync and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), which are features that reduce screen tearing and stuttering when gaming on compatible devices. The eARC port allows you to send high-quality audio signals from the TV to your soundbar or receiver without any loss of quality.

The remote control that comes with this TV is also smart and convenient. It has a built-in microphone that lets you use voice commands to control the TV or search for content using Vizio Voice. It also has dedicated buttons for Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Peacock, Disney+, YouTubeTV , TubiTV , PlutoTV , XumoTV , Redbox , CBS All Access , AppleTV+ , HBO Max , Paramount+ , Discovery+ , ESPN+ , StarzPlay , Showtime Anytime , AMC+ & more.
