It worked for about 6 months

This TV worked perfectly fine for about 6 months, and then basically turned into a brick. The power went out due to a storm, and the next day it needed an update. After that it stopped working. Every time I turn it on it tries to force me to re register it (I've done this twice now!), it won't connect to ANYTHING but Netflix, using the remote app on my phone doesn't work, the actual remote will stop working randomly but that could also be the TV freezing, I have to reset it frequently, and I really regret buying it now. I got another update for it and thought that would fix it, but there's no change. It was a great TV until it wasn't.

Great Picture at a Great Price

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a replacement for the second-hand 50" Samsung television that a friend had given us several years ago, and was looking for something affordable yet quality. Of all the choices we had at the store we purchased from, my wife and I kept coming back to the the Vizio D-Series 40" Class Full HD Smart TV. The price was substantially less than other televisions of similar specs, so we were unsure what the catch was. However, after reading a number of reviews, we decided to chance it and purchase it. We are so glad that we did. It was very easy to set up and get running, and the picture and sound quality exceeded our expectations. Although the Vizio is significantly smaller than the Samsung, it more than made up for it in resolution, crispness, brightness, and all the additional features. I would absolutely purchase this again!

GREAT PRODUCT AT A GREAT PROCE

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product at a great price. Very reliable. Great picture. Purchase this TV after I purchased a 24 inch TV-D series that I was very impressed with the overall quality of the product and "live support services."

EASY SETUP EASY TO NAVIGATE

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fits perfectly in my bedroom. Clear 1080 pixels, so glad I found this model. No unnecessary complications. I like that. I've owned other VIZIO TV's and appreciate their reliability and craftsmanship. I definitely recommend VIZIO.

A lot of features

A lot to learn. Took me and a call to Vizio to find how to set the sleep timer. There are a lot of steps involved I wish there was just a button on the remote. It has all the apps I would ever news so I'm not having a problem with that. A smart TV is a new learning experience for me. I am used to turn the TV on and flipping through the channels and going for that from there

I bought this TV because it said it was a smart TV but it doesn't support the TV apps that I use most like spectrum cable app I went out and got DirecTV and it doesn't support that either, it shuts off by itself sometimes and the volume goes out at times

Difficult to use

Struggling to connect to network about 80% of the time. Remote is too small for our hands.. especially my husband's. Husband downloaded app and couldn't get app to find the tv/device. Deleted app but was still charged. At this time extremely frustrated.

Most features not working in Mexico

Preload app like pluto tv and smartcast not working in Mexico, sounds ridiculous if the tv is supposed to be sell in Mexico and when you set up the TV Mexico is one of the options to set up the TV. When you call the VIZIO support they just gave you the telephone number of Pluto tv to get support

Solid little TV

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just purchased and mounted this TV on the wall in my office. Picture is solid, sound is decent, it has most of the apps you'd want (and way more). Only complaints so far would be the inability to download additional apps (the only one I could think of at this point, though, would be spotify) and the inability to delete unused apps (seriously, this TV comes loaded with 80+ apps and I only use like 12, I'd prefer to get rid of the rest, but haven't seen how to do so intuitively. Admittedly I haven't looked for an answer in the instruction manual either). Overall, great TV for the price and if you're looking for a small, lightweight TV, this is a purchase you won't regret.

Awful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I so regret buying this TV. For a smart TV, it is pretty stupid. The screen is way to busy and there is no way to delete apps I don't want to see from the lineup. It is also way too hard to arrange them. After this last update where you made me set my TV to factory reset in order to make the update work, I am pretty fed up with this nonsense and plan to add a Roku to make it user friendly.
