Not recommended

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.)

All new experience to the 67-year-old person lol

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was given to me to my daughter and is a whole New World. I have never had a smart TV and it's gonna take me a minute to figure it out on what I can and can't do. I have loaded my Netflix and Peacock account so I'm a little ahead of the game .

Happy Birthday Mom!

This purchase was for my Mom's Birthday. She loves the TV for her bedroom. She loves the clear picture, sound, and plenty of free movies. The set-up was long but worth the wait. My Mom said I have to get use to this Big TV. Ecstatic that she is Happy.

Things Have Changed

We had 5 Vizio flat screen TV's since about 2011 and 3 of them went caput. Two 37" and one 70" P series stopped working. One of the 37" quit within the first year, the second one just recently and the P 70" burned itself out in just 5 years. The remaining two TV's are 2011 vintage, one is rarely used. Needed to replace the recent 37" that burned out and we found limited choices in the 40" sizes however, we needed it to fit into a cabinet so 40" was just right. Problem was, input and output connections on the new one...very limited. The old VXT TV had many connections but this new one is limited to 2 HDMI, one USB, one toslink and a coaxial. Come to find out the software menu under advanced is also limited and will not allow the TV speakers to operate at the same time a sound bar is connected or other audio connections too the toslink. In addition, the audio out will not adjust the volume with the TV remote. Our previous TV had all kinds of options for audio but not this new one which is extremely limited in features.

Vizio 43". Easy to set up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never owned a Vizio. I wish I had given Vizio a try a long time ago. The TV has very good picture quality, clear and sharp colors, the sound is good even with out a sound bar. The remote is comfortable in the hand, the keys are readable and easy to use. There is no "pause" button, you need to push the center button.

40 inch Vizio Smart TV

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I saw an ad for a 32 inch Vizio Smart TV and thought it would have been grea for a spare room. There was a 40 inch Vizio sitting to the left of the 32 inch and for a little more money we bought the 40 inch. Picture quality is awesome, sound is really great considering there is no sound bar, and since our first flat screen was a Vizio which delivered many years of trouble free service, we were sure of the quality construction. It fits the room awesomely and the smart tv with all the available stations on Vizion Free, we feel we will always have great entertainment at our finger tips - Thanks so much for delivering such a fine product at a great price

Good for the Price

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great value. Love all the free channels.First time I bought a Vizio and I don't believe it will be my last. We have two other TV's in the house and if they stop working I will replace them with a Vizio! My only regret is that I didn't buy a bigger one.

Limited apps

[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.

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.
