Great value!!

Love the tv. Second one due to its dynamic abilities. The only problem i have with this 40 inch is that in the hotel I can't log on to the internet since it requires signing in. Sadly that makes it unusable at the moment being that it connects but can't enter the password. This is a very unique issue, and if you don't have these particular issues it's very ama,ing.

Tv n sound bar

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Vizio TV and the Vizio sound bar they worked together as a team as one and it’s amazing. The sound bar has great sound TV has a beautiful picture. I love all the apps that have great systems. I have no complaints.. and it’s crazy how it’s so much like using a computer nowadays

So clear!

This is a great tv for an awesome price. The clarity is great and has amazing definition. As a person that only streams, I love that I don’t have to have a stick or attachment to stream my shows and can also use the app for my remote. This is also very light and was easy to mount.

nice but cable is unbelievably difficult to set u

Features, picture quality, additional services very nice. Good value. However cable has been impossible to get connected. Going on day 3 of many hours trying. Cable company suggests upgrading box which is more $ monthly. Disappointing in the fact that we checked this out ahead of time and should have been easy per cable and vizio

2 things Need Fixing

Redesign the way the feet are added. The well where the screws go in is deeper than the length of the provided screws, and you can't use your fingers to straighten them so they drop through the holes. It would help a lot if each hole had a funnel to direct the screws when you drop them in. As it is, it's a nightmare for older folks like me just to screw the feet on. Also, I can see that the intent of the setup screen when you first turn it on is to make setup a snap for the user. Despite automatically updating itself, I was still trapped on the page where it makes you choose to scan a QR code or visit a website to enter a setup code. I do not own a fancy app-running mobile phone, so option 1 is out. Option 2 gives you a URL that takes you to a black page where the user cannot enter anything. The support chatbot doesn't have an answer, but thankfully it connected me to a person, who had to lead me through a series of clicks on the website so that I could finally get to the page where I could enter my code. But by this time I had to turn the TV off and on in order to get a new code. It's a huge and unnecessary hassle. Please fix this so that future customers aren't forced to go through it. I have no other complaints. The picture and sound are beautiful, and it is appreciated that the TV can offer so many other entertainment choices besides the OTA channels. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the two frustrations, both of which are easy to fix.

Poor picture mode

No matter were I set picture mode there's a yellow or pink background tint. Also, and even more frustrating, you have to readjust the complete color scheme every time you change TV show, movie, or streaming service. I had a Vizio 32' 720p tv and I really liked it, so I thought I'd upgrade to this Vizio 40' HD 1080. It wasn't an upgrade it was a downgrade in my opinion.

Nice picture, sound and streaming for the money.

The new VIZIO TV works quite well, nice picture , good sound and a good selection of streaming channels. A very nice replacement for my old TV which started to freeze up occasionally., but it was was about 15 years old. Overall, the quality looks good but the packing carton was sealed a bit crooked and sloppy. I chose this particular one because several other cartons showed signs of scuffing and handling stress. Upon opening , everything looked good and installation was quick and easy. My biggest complaint is the placement of the totally useless IMO pre-programmed premium channel buttons places at the top of the remote layout where they are too easily pressed by mistake. Most other remote makers put those useless keys at the bottom and that's what I'm used to. I wish there were a way to easily remove those useless preprogrammed premium channel keys and neatly cover the openings. I do watch local OTA TV and this TV seems to put that secondary to other source inputs and it requires some exploring to find the local channel lineup. For the most part however, this TV is a nice entertainment value.

Great TV

I bought this a few weeks ago and I really like all the features. I like all the free channels, and the picture quality is really good. There are however way too many commercials on the western channels and because of that I will probably not watch much of that.

Great Smart TV

This is my first Smart TV. The Vizio Model VFD40M-0809, is very easy to set up for a first timer. I just plugged it in, and a setup Menu appeared on the Screen. Step by step, each instruction appeared on the screen for your preference of setup. Internet Connection was found almost immediately and was able to log into my service, which allowed me instant access to all of the TV streaming services. In addition, I connected my Broadband box with ease for additional viewing services. The Picture clarity is so clear, it is almost like you are live & not viewing thru a TV. The quality of the Sound is clear and plenty loud for a bedroom setting. There is a lot of settings for personal preference and enjoyment, and they are easy to set.
