VIZIO40-inch Full HD 1080p Smart TV with DTS Virtual: X, Alexa Compatibility, Google Cast Built-in, Bluetooth Headphone Capable, (VFD40M-08 New)

I saw several complaints about the sound quality, and "You'll need a soundbar or some kind of external speaker(s)", but that wasn't the case at all. The sound quality on this TV actually isn't bad at all. That was the only thing holding me back from purchasing it, so I didn't have very high hopes going in. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. Not that it sounds right up there with the best or anything like that, because it doesn't and it isn't, but the average user shouldn't have any problem with the sound quality straight out of the box. The picture quality is equally as surprising. It's a 1080p TV, so don't expect mind blowing clarity, but for what it is and what it costs, it's really nice, and with all kinds of settings that I've never heard of. I actually did very little in the way of setting this thing up. I remember reading somewhere just a few days ago that Vizio TVs are factory preset to the taste of individual countries that they ship them to, and after reading that, it made sense to me why there was very little adjustment necessary. LOL I think I spent more time getting it out of the box than I did making adjustments. Setup was a breeze. It found my Wi-Fi immediately, I put my password in to get it connected, and inside of a few seconds, it was ready to go... or so I thought Naturally, the first thing it wanted to do was install a bunch of updates. Doesn't everything anymore? After downloading, installing, restarting, installing, restarting, installing, restarting, I was finally ready to do a channel scan. Yeah, I got cable TV out of my life over 20 years ago, and I haven't missed it one bit. The scan took three to four minutes and brought up like 48 channels. I'm still working on this input called Watch Free, and as near as I can tell, it's kind of a mix with your station presets and other select material probably based on those stations. In the 3+ weeks since delivery, I haven't experienced one flaw, lockup, random restart, random power down, glitch or hiccup out of it.There are a few little things about it that I'm not too thrilled about, namely the complete lack of RCA inputs, only two HDMI inputs, and when inputting channels on OTA TV using the number pad, it brings up an on-screen numberpad, but instead of intuitively hitting the center button, you have to use the arrow down to navigate to an area at the bottom of the on-screen keypad, and when you get to the correct tab, THEN hit the center button. Next, arguably the most used controls on the remote, the channel and volume keys... Why do they all now place those keys so low on the remote? Those keys are way down near the bottom to the point that you don't really have any room to hold onto the remote. The remote is also narrow, thin, short, and VERY slippery. Overall, I guess it's ok, but a universal remote is probably in my near future. As the title says, keep your expectations reasonable, and you shouldn't be disappointed. If you want a TV that performs like a $1000+ set, then go spend $1000 on a set, and you'll be just fine. As far as its current price tag of $138 is concerned, you're getting a LOT of TV for your money.EDIT:At almost two months in, I've been able to integrate it into my entertainment needs without much of any learning curve, and I'm still happy with my purchase.

This smart tv has a home screen that is connected to your Internet for streaming but also uses an air antenna or cable too. They recommend shows and movies from free streaming or for whatever service you are subscribed to including Prime if you are an Amazon member. There are options where you elect different standby modes and/or direct access back to where you left off so mine returns to prime automatically which is my usual preference. It even has the capability to play audiobooks or Hoopla. I'm very happy with the quality of the picture and all the options though it took me a little while to figure it all out mostly because I'm a senior citizen not great at tech but was able to figure it out

Set up is easy and picture quality is very good so far. One complaint voiced by others is the screws for the leg attachments do not screw in properly and it takes a good deal of effort to get a tight fit. Also note the screw heads are small and you will need a very small screw driver to fit properly.In addition the included smart apps included you can also easily use Apple play to stream a full array of apps using your iPhone or iPad. It’s also compatible with Roku if apple play is not an option. Sound is decent for a built in system Haven’t used the headset feature but nice that it’s there when you want quiet for those around you. A good value for size.

I bought this to use for Karaoke. The video projector where I do karaoke is down and I don't know when it will be up again. I used my old 32 inch flat screen in place of the projector but it's heavy, 34 pounds, I already have enough heavy equipment to carry-in as is. I decided to permanently not use the projector so I bought this flat screen. It's 40 inches and only weighs just under 19 pounds, it's feel like picking up a plastic box full of air. So far it's working great. It's a pretty minimal tv, no buttons, you must use the remote. It has two HDMI, antenna, USB for ARC, and will connect to WIFI to be a smart TV. It pretty much has most things that a person would want. It does remember how it was set up when the power is killed so I don't even need to take the remote with me when doing karaoke.

Got this TV just to play my PS5 on while I’m on vacation and it works perfectly the HDR makes the darker areas look great on the game. The picture quality is entirely better than I thought it would be. It was very easy to set up and the remote control easy to use and have some great features. The WiFi connects great once it’s set up, haven’t had an issue yet. It is actually the perfect size for a medium size bedroom also. The sound quality isn’t great but not bad, I find myself turning it up to 23-33 but it depends on the background noise as well at night usually 15-18 volume.

Yes 5 stars for this 40" Vizio TV, Great Wi-Fi connections, was so easy to set up. I find the sound quality better than most TV in the 40" screen size. I have had Vizio TV in the past and glad I came back to purchase another one. I have a 32: Vizio purchased in 2014 and it is still going strong and is used very day. you cannot go wrong with the entertainment value from Vizio

Bought this because of its price point since it is in my shop and high quality wasn't my objective. Pleasantly surprised - it is high quality, easy to set up and picks up my wi-fi signal from a bit over 100' from my house without a booster. Sound quality is hard to measure since my shop is not acoustically built but I have not trouble hearing the sound.

I have many Vizio TVs and bought this one for a bedroom. The TV itself worked fine but the listing had the wrong information in it as far as the width of the stand feet, so it would not fit on the cabinet that we wanted. But we still kept it and moved it to a different wider cabinet. Just wish the sellers would make sure they are listing the correct information. When you're buying online, what else do you have to go by other than the description and the picture? But I highly recommend Vizio TVs. I have about seven.
