my 4th vizio tv

I love all of my vizios. They have been very reliable. Great pictures. Only drawback I have is the ability to download Apps that I have access to. Mainly the DirectTV app. This is my primary app that I can't download, and I have to buy Firesticks to obtain it. This eliminates me trying features on the smart TV's that may normally use.

Great Fit for a small space

I have a built in shelf that only can accommodate a TV of a certain size. My old 32 in TV "died". I looked for a size that would fit the space and Vizio had a 40 in that was a perfect fit and a perfect price and I love the picture. Just have to learn how to use all of the features.

Long time to update

I just got this a couple of days ago. I bought it for all the apps but I have not been to get them running. local broadcast was hard to find at first. This not an easy setup as with other brands. I will say the picture is great, sound is ok. I will be setting up bluetooth headphones.

Wall Mount issue

I have one of this model Vizio TVs that I purchased in November 2025. Were very happy with it so purchase another. When I opened the box the wall mount connection on the back was not the same as the pictures show in the online Sams Club information show. The picture is from the November version. It’s been changed to mount much lower on the back of the unit. It would cause all of the wiring and power connections to show. If they had just updated the pictures I never would have bought it. Even the display model unit was the old version so I had no clue. Had to take it back now looking for different TV.

Good tv for what it is

First off Vizio tv has great picture quality but the SPEAKER IS GARBAGE THE SOUND IS NOT THAT GOOD. NEEDS TO HAVE BETTER SPEAKERS PLACED IN THE TV ITSELF. It does not have a section for audio quality and adjustment so YOU HAVE TO GET A SOUND BAR TO HEAR ANYTHING ON LOWER VOLUME LEVELS UNDER 25 . IN ORDER TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM THE TV YOU HAVE TO TURN THE VOLUME UP PAST 30 to HEAR EVEN THE SLIGHTEST SOUND FROM THE SPEAKERS IN THE TV.

Sound quality is bad

I’ve had this 40 inch TV a little over a month and I’m very unhappy with the sound quality and lack of options to try and dial it in. I also have the Vizio soundbar that is not helping. I had an older and larger model tv that was great. Lots of features in settings to adjust the sound. I doubt I will keep this one I have now as it is not enjoyable . Also, cc goes off and on and sometimes will not come on. I’m hard of hearing and rely on cc to catch all the dialog..

Vizio TV #2

Had bad time with defective Roku TV and poor customer service. Have an older Vizio TV so when looking for replacement - no more Roku TVs - I chose another Vizio TV. So glad with this second one. It's a smart TV, one up from my old one and I don't care! It's the best in pic quality and interfacing with my soundbar. This is the best, ever!

Bad loading despite excellent network connection

I've had the TV for a couple weeks. The home screen rarely, if at all, loads. The Free TV successfully loads 1 out of 10 times. I have fiber optic internet, connection strength is always excellent. I have attempted all the suggested troubleshooting: restarting the TV, switching languages to clear cache, unplugging and holding the power on the TV to drain all power, factory reset, disconnecting from Network and reconnecting. None of the possible solutions fixes the issue. The error code returned is E003-1. Not impressed at all. I have two other smart TVs that are Samsung, no issues like this exist on them.

45 min to setup and that's not the worst part

Worst setup experience ever. If you want to use the TV, you must create a Vizio account and register it. I had to create TWO accounts. The first account would not let me accept the terms and conditions, and until you do that you can't register the TV. I then created an account via Google authentication. Once that was done, I had to register the TV THREE times before the TV would start working. Now I'm getting three copies of every email Vizio sends me. Once it got past the registration screen the (I'm assuming 2-3 second) Vizio animation could BARELY play. It takes about 15-20 seconds just for the home page to completely load. What's in this thing? An 8086? I logged into my Plex account and tried to play some local media and anything over 720P (even though this is a 1080 screen) would studder almost immediately. Even the highly optimized media from streaming services like Disney+ would studder occasionally. I know it's not a network issue (unless it's an issue with the Wi-Fi card on the TV) because the TV has a clear line of sight to an AP less than 15 feet away and all my other Wi-Fi devices get up to ~1Gb depending on the version of WiFi the device has. The display itself is its only saving grace. It might make this TV usable if you only use it through a Chromecast/Firestick or something similar.

Purchased the TV seven days ago and have only used it three times . In beginning after setting everything up it worked just fine. Every time since we’ve been having to reconnect it into the Internet. Having to retype the password over and over for it to still say that the password was incorrect, and after checking the password multiple times after hitting show password, the password was correct. I’ve even had to turn it on and turn it off the TV in my front room that I’ve been having for at least seven years never had a problem and it’s very outdated but this TV is supposed to be updated and couldn’t operate accordingly during the first seven days of purchase
