Dissappointing

This TV lags so bad. When you’re scrolling trying to get to the apps or through the apps to get to your selection it gets stuck, starts scrolling by itself, or won’t move at all. The remote is tiny %26 all the buttons are right on top of each other. The volume sucks so bad. To hear anything you have to crank it up past 50. The picture is really good. I like how the Home Screen is set up but all in all, I’m really disappointed.

I purchased this tv a few months ago and have held off writing a review just to give it a fair chance. I honestly hate this TV. It’s slow, it glitches, it won’t open apps (spectrum, Netflix, Hulu, etc) sometimes. Sometimes it takes up to 10 minutes just to open the apps. Sometimes it won’t open them at all. The remote lags horribly. If you are watching tv and want to turn the volume up, it takes about 5 seconds to catch up to what you’re doing. If you want to pause the tv, it takes about 10-15 seconds to actually pause. I wish I could give it a good review because once you finally have a show/movie on, the quality is good! If I still had the box, the tv would’ve been returned a long time ago.

don't waste your money

I really wanted to like this TV I accidentally bought it instead of a Roku one and I've been kicking myself ever since. it was easy to set up and get going but every other month it tells me it can't find my internet and when I forget it to reload because it won't accept a password anymore it then can't see my internet so I have to factory reset this TV every other month do not waste your money

slow response to buttons. when using the youtube app, when adds come on and it says you can skip the add, the center button on the controller just pauses the add. it wont let me skip it. when the tv is plugged in, it automatically comes on. so last night the power flickered. when we got up the tv was on and playing music on a screen saver. so for example if you are gone on vacation for a week, and while you are gone the power goes out and comes back on, the tv will come on. i dont know if it will time out and shut itself off or not.

Save Your Money and Skip This One

I bought this 40” Vizio TV on sale for $107, so I wasn’t expecting top-tier quality—but there are some pretty frustrating issues. First, the size is a bit misleading. It’s advertised as 40 inches, but measuring across the screen width is only 35 inches. I understand TVs are measured diagonally, but it still feels smaller than expected. Performance is the biggest issue. Apps and even the free built-in shows take several minutes to load. I have fiber optic high-speed internet, so the lag is definitely not on my end. It makes the “smart” features feel very slow and frustrating to use. The settings are also very limited. There’s not much room to adjust or customize things the way you’d expect. Setup was another hassle. I had to go out and buy a specific screwdriver just to attach the feet because none of my standard ones fit. On top of that, you’re basically forced to download an app on your phone just to use the TV—without it, you can’t even fully set it up or operate it properly. Overall, you get what you pay for. It works, but it’s slow, limited, and inconvenient. I would not recommend this TV.

I wouldnt waste the money

I was super excited for this TV, it was actually my very first TV purchase (Received a few hand-me-downs) its very sleek and cute and super lightweight (I almost yeeted it out of my hands because I expected it to be heavier.) That being said, I am returning it. It kept giving me the swirly ball of doom for a long time when I turned it on after not using it after a few days so I’d have to unplug it when I knew I wasnt going to be using it so that wouldnt happen when I turned it back on which I do not prefer

The screen works fine, sound is a bit weird and I had to plug a streaming stick into it because it won't even open half of the apps and refuses to let me move apps around so I can access the ones I normally use. The remote app also only half works, most of the buttons don't do anything.

this TV is one of the most annoying appliances I have ever had the miss pleasure of owning. If I touch the side of it, it resets totally and I have to put everything back on it, so if I want to open my bedroom window, I have to plan on reinstalling Netflix, etc. I hate this TV. I’m more than hated. I despise it.
