Not great.

The sound was terrible It sounded cheap. I use Roku all the time to watch content and the Roku app was not available on this TV because it's a competing company. The only way I was going to be able to get it on is if I bought an additional device to plug into it. Also there was no auxiliary output jack which seems pretty basic. I've packaged it back up and I'm going to return it.

Vizio 40” decent TV

My only issues are with the menus and controls. No user manual included (though you can download from internet). Very annoying that I can’t get unwanted TV channels to hide. Menu screens or “Up Arrow Channel” controls still scroll through dozens of channels, even though I only selected the four local channels to be un-hidden.

Good TV for the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this a bedroom TV. Picture is beautiful, sound is less so. There is not a talk to search option on the remote, however the TV does some commands through HomeKit Siri. It does not offer the Xfinity Stteam App, but all others I needed are. I bought This TV to get rid of my Roku box. Now I still have to keep it due to need to access the Xfinity App.

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..

Definitely a problem with the newer feet versus th

For this reason, see the large note below I would definitely not buy this type of footed TV in the future. The TV itself was easy to plug-in and play. It was plug-in play basically what took me a very long time was trying to balance to get the feet in the screws in and they never were seated right I kept turning the feet around. I exchange the screws back-and-forth and after almost Well I gave up for like 10 minutes went to cool down and then came back out again re-tried to get the screws to seat correctly. I put the TV up and in even though the left one is still not correct I could not figure out if it was the screws that we’re not fitting or the actual foot as a woman I love it when I can just Easily set something up. My previous TV was snap in no tools needed and the feet were much more sturdy they were better angle they were thicker, better plastic and the grippers on the bottom were definitely more hearty living here in California. I do not like a shaky TV. I keep my TV inside of a cabinet and now I actually added when I closed the cabinet doors a rubber band around the handles to keep them secure in case of an earthquake I don’t want the TV falling out because now it’s very unstable. That was my biggest complaint. Otherwise out of the box plug-in and play was great. The screen is fine for a small apartment. I would not recommend this in a large Space but the clarity is fine. The sound is very poor. You have to turn it up to over 60 on some channels and over 80 on others, which is why some people get the sound box but for a quick inexpensive product this was fine. i’m sorry for the first part it being negative, but because I ended up buying the exact same model because I needed it to fit in the exact same cabinet, I could see the quality change overtime. Please go back to the old feet that just click in that are bigger stronger, sturdier, and more balanced and definitely. I would’ve had the TV out of the box and in the cabinet plugged in watching it in 15 minutes, but otherwise it took me over an hour and a lot of frustration as I kept trying the screws in different slots and the different feet moving them around otherwise again for the price and the size is a 40 inch. It’s all good. The TV lasted about six years. I wish it would’ve lasted 10. I have a small TV in my bedroom that it is about 15 years old. It’s a different brand and the TV before that lasted 10 years so you need to up the quality to at least 10 years thank you

Good for the price

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the TV. The picture is good. My only gripe is the USB reader. It seems it won't play movies that are in a variety of formats or even all MP4s but different codecs. I mainly bought it to play downloade dmovies so that's disappointing. I will have to use an editor to change the format of every movie I download from now on.

Room for improvement

Not happy with the picture. I have a 60" Vizio tv with an excellent picture. This 32" Vizio has had a picture setting removed from its system. The one removed from picture menu was "VIVID". That setting brings out brilliant colors and brightness .If I would have known that setting was not available I would not have purchased this tv. I cannot get the picture even close to the vivid setting.

good new tv monitor great price

Nice picture very clear. I hate the Vizio proprietary homepage though featuring all ads and services the homepage should be customizable all that should be removable you should be able to have only what you want on your homepage without all that advertising in your face you're obviously using our television technologies now as means to advertise and market to us instead of us providing us with the entertainment we deserve

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.

Great picture, sound, and value for the price!

I’ve been thoroughly impressed with my Vizio 40-inch TV! The picture quality is sharp and vibrant, delivering clear images with rich colors that make watching movies and shows a great experience. The sound is also surprisingly good for a TV of this size, with no need for an external soundbar unless you want a theater-like experience. The setup was quick and easy, and the smart features work seamlessly, providing access to all my favorite apps like Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube. The interface is user-friendly and responsive, which makes navigating between apps and settings a breeze. Overall, this TV offers incredible value for its price. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality TV that won’t break the bank, I’d highly recommend the Vizio 40-inch model!
