Not Happy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Your D40 TV is not equipped to handle 5GHz network connection., Running only 2.4GHz it takes way to long afterning on the TV to get to the SmartCast home screen. Then when choosing something to watch it costantly stopped and the internet download spinning wheel comes on. I don't use anything with SmartCast. I have Roku running 5GHz and it runs so far and therefore I have the TV set to turn on automatically to my Roku and it is "INSTANT ON". The SmartCast feature is useless to me. I can't believe you are selling new TV's without the option of using the 2.4GHz or 5GHz network channel. I never would have bought it knowing there is no 5GHz network channel.

sound great, picture good, Smartcast not great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased a couple months ago. At first everything was great then the Smartcast began acting up. Sometimes it comes back by itself. Most recently I had to do unit reset to get it working again. Total pain in the ____! Two Samsungs purchased at the same time are working flawlessly on same wifi.

Nice picture, good sound, constantly freezes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this TV about a month ago. The picture and sound are very good. Unfortunately, the TV freezes, A LOT. I have tried unplugging it to reset it, deleted apps, and most recently did a factory reset. Nothing works. It's the dumbest smart TV ever.

Thank you for taking time to leave us your feedback. Typically, when a TV freezes up, that can be fixed with a power cycle. To power cycle a TV you will want to unplug the power and then hold the power button on the back of the TV for at least 5-10 seconds while unplugged. After those 5-10 seconds, go ahead and plug the power back in and power it on. If issues persist or you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us by going to support.vizio.com and clicking ‘contact us’.

Like it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smart tv with no ethernet connection!!! I am barely within the wifi range (bedroom)so its spotty signal. My fault for not checking for the connection closer, but I never would have expected this on a smart tv!

Great TV for the price

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this TV either in Smart TV mode connecting to Prime or Free TV, or with a Sony UHD DVD player. It works well with both. I did use it as a Windows PC monitor, but decided it was 2 big for my configuration. The speakers are loud enough without needing a sound bar, but if I win I will use it.

insufficient manual

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am 74. The living room chair is 8 feet from the set, so text size in the onscreen instructions is too small to read. It tells me to customize the app list by clicking the remote with a button that the remote does NOT have. I need a print manual!

Many issues. Would not buy again.

TV has frozen several times. Speakers are sub par and down facing. By far the worst I have had on any TV. Needs a sound bar upgrade. Picture quality is decent. Remote control has tiny buttons and is not backlit. When selecting from the various inputs, i.e. HDMI, Antenna, Live TV etc. the menu times out and disappears while scrolling, very frustrating. I replaced a fifteen year old Vizio with this model. Would not recommend this TV.

Only one problem.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the TV and features! The remote control is another story. My brother has a Hisense tv that responds to my remote, are tv are basically next to each other for gaming reasons. It's very irritating. Still love the TV though.

You get what you pay for… trash

This TV is another example of “you get what you pay for”. I bought this for my bedroom… just wanted to stream and have a decent picture. It does stream and does have a decent picture. However, there is such terrible lag that I spend more time waiting for screen to respond to the remote commands than watching anything. The speaker quality is atrocious!! I don't expect much from television speakers but this is horrible… even with the bass turned down there is buzzing from the tv enclosure. Don't waste your money!! I will be replacing this television and throwing this one in the trash where it belongs. Sorry Vizio… just speaking the truth.
