Sound leveling issue with headphone use

There are a number of things to like. This is a reasonably priced TV with good resolution. However, its relationship with headphones is not working. If headphone battery dies the tv sound blasts higher than the volume previously set. There are a few other congfigurations when the sound blasts. I've checked the leveling settings and reached out to support. Not sure I got a response, but I did get a follow up review on how support did.

I Only Rock with Vizio!

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!

Vizio tv

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my Vizio TV last week and am very happy wirh it. The picture is vibrant. The sound is clear. Its the perfect size for my bedroom. I also own another Vizio that I've had for several years and it's still going strong.

Vizio 40” T.V.

Bought this tv to replace one in our back room. I was looking for a quality smart tv so I can watch Thursday Night Football as well as more games on Sundays. Utilizing available controls with a little adjustment has a great picture quality. If I need to replace another set I will definitely look at the Vizio offerings.

What I Didn't Know

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.

40" smart TV

[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.

Disappointed

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.

Tv keeps disconnecting from wifi

I have purchased the tv and did 3 factory resets in a week. It does not start connected to wifi. The times it does start connected it said wifi isn't available. I have updated the TV twice refreshed my modem and changed my password on my network. I'll have to try to return it because it's ridiculous.
