I bought this Vizio 40-inch TV(VFD40M-08) a few days ago and I'm sorry I did. At the time of purchase, I didn't know the Vizio soundbar would not fit between the feet of this model size. The built in sound is so terrible I'm afraid I won't be able to get used to it. Also, in the guide or user manual there is no view of the back of the TV showing a detailed view of the connection plugs to see what outputs are available for another company's soundbar. (The TV has already been placed in a restricted area, enclosed cabinet and is inconvenient to move.) Additionally, the TV will be used thru a cable box feed and the input from the box cannot be set to the home position when the TV is turned on. I will have to use the Vizio remote to set the proper input to cable every time I turn on the set. This means I will need to have both remotes available every day because all the cable functions can only be controlled from its own remote. If I had known these three complications I would not have bought this TV.

I bought a 40 inch TV in February and it has already went bad. Something wrong with the picture. VIZIO COMPENSATED ME FOR THE MONEY I PAID FOR IT WELL ANYWAY THEY SAID THEY’LL SEND ME A CHECK. THEY DIDN’T HAVE ANOTHER TV TO REPLACE IT WHICH IS FINE BECAUSE I DON’T THINK I’D WANNA BUY ANOTHER TV FOR VIZIO BOTTOM LINE. I DIDN’T NEVER DO ANYTHING BAD TO THAT TV AND IT WENT BAD SO I’M THINKING THEY DON’T HAVE VERY GOOD PRODUCT.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was amazed at how easy it was to set up. I had a Roku device on my old tv and plugged it into my new Vizio, and volià - it works great and even autimatically labeled to my HDMI 1 port. By the way, the tv comes with two HDMI ports and one USB port. Besides a great picture, the stereo sound is phenomenal with distinct separation and rich base tones.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My old TV was a Vizio and enjoyed it for years however I should have upgraded sooner because the quality and ease of use along with the advanced features certainly makes my family time so much rewarding. Thank you Vizio for the opportunity to improve our quality of life at a great price.

Good: Picture is good. Bad: Incredibly hard, frustrating, and cumbersome to set up. NOT intuitive at all. We have spent many hours trying to get our channels to sync to no avail. We have had to construct our own list of channels because the numbers that are shown on the screen to not coincide with the broadcasted channel (ex: Food Network shows channel 64.2 on the screen but it comes in on 90.1). You also have to download the app to your phone just to proceed with set up; it eats up storage on my phone and I don't want the app on my phone but if you delete the app it also deletes every set up you have already performed. We have a saying at our house "this is the dumbest smart TV I have ever seen." Definitely would not buy another one. (My husband has threatened to throw this one away and buy another brand.)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] New replacement, seems to work fine but not a fan of all the “Trending” and other clutter on the Home Screen. Biggest complaint is not able to download local broadcast apps like News Center Maine to re-stream the local broadcast and weather. Second complaint is that OTA antenna channels are commingled with junk stations on the WatchFree+ app.

I bought these tvs because of the prices, however the biggest downfall is not all streaming apps are available, had to buy a firestick just get the app I wanted, you would think this day and age we would have every app available, nope....disappointing

I love the Vizio TV's per say. I do not like the Vizio smart. I find it overly complicated for what it is. I have Fire smart TV's and Roku Smart TV's and they are much more user friendly in my opinion. I am going to stop using it and buy another Fire TV to replace it. It needs to accept the downloader app for using html's.

I have had nothing but Vizio TV's since 2010, and I refuse to buy any other brand. When I was a resident in a nursing home, learning to walk and use my arms again, a friend purchased a small 15 inch Vizio TV for me, as that was the largest size residents were allowed. The picture was so beautiful and crystal clear that the smaller screen size didn't matter anymore. Since that time, I have learned to walk and use my arms again, very well, and I have graduated to a 43 inch screen! There is an old saying that goes like this, "If it ain't broke, why fix it?" Vizio is simply the best!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased Sunday Sept. 28, 2025. Once connect and powered up, it took two system updates and one app update to be ready for use, but it works great! This 40" class set replaces a 32" class unit, and the added diagonal 8" makes a huge difference in picture clarity.
