Member ratings & reviews forGREAT Vizio TV!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 40 inch Vizio Smart TV is a great investment! It was very easy to set up right out of the box. The two legs screw into the bottom with two screws that are in the package for the remote. The remote comes with two batteries so you can use it immediately. The on-screen set up was quick and easy to follow. The TV connected to our internet as soon as we entered the password. The TV is very light so you can move it or hold it on the wall with no problem. The picture is exactly what you have come to expect from these flat screen tv's..it's great. The colors are sharp. The frame around the outside is thin and does not distract from your viewing. There are two speakers with volume that goes up to 100. We are currently using this with no sound system and are happy with the factory sound. There is an interactive tour and set up guide that you can access online that is easy to refer to and helps you learn about the many settings you have to choose from. This TV has 100's of free channels that you can access immediately. You can cast from any smart phone or tablet. The remote has buttons on it so you can quickly access various streaming services. The 40 inch size is perfect in a bedroom, sunroom or spare room. The whole family loves this TV. I highly recommend this TV for anyone in the market for something new!
BUYER'S BEWARE!
FIRST OF ALL DO NOT BUY A VIZIO TV! It worked fine for maybe a month after that I started having to reboot it about once a week and now after 9 months I'm having to reboot it a minimum of 20 times a DAY! There is no Vizio voice I've tried every way possible and it will not work. Unless you want to have to be interrupted 20 to 50 times a day rebooting your TV and having to restart your program or finding it again then my suggestion is to get a different TV. And I do not have the money to buy another one so I'm stuck! I also should have returned it but I live in a nursing home and that is a very hard thing to do here.

Great picture quality and features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've been making do with a passed down tv in our family room forever but I was finally able to convince hubby it was time to upgrade. This Vizio 40 Lass FHD LED Smart TV D-Series was super easy to set up and I love that I no longer need my Roku device to access all the great streaming apps. The picture is crisp and clear and any smudges buff clean with a microfiber cloth. The remote allows you to quickly and easily access Netflix, Peacock, Prim, Disney+, Crackles & Tubi without having to go to the app screen. The only small issue I have with the tv is that the volume doesn't get quite as loud as I would like but I have a soundbar to hook up to rectify that so no biggie. Overall a great tv with lots of features for a good price.
Amazing picture quality.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never owned a smart TV before. To say I am impressed is an understatement! This TV has it all! The picture quality is outstanding. I really like the fact that it makes you feel like you are in the show or movie you are watching because the quality is out of this world. I thought setup was going to be complicated but it wasn't at all. The instructions are easy to read and the TV itself even helps you figure out how to set up everything you need. It connected to my Wi-Fi so easily it was effortless. It provides instructions to guide you along the way. The size of the screen is great! I love that it is so large. The fact that I am able to use my Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ accounts is amazing. I was able to link them and enjoy right away. You can also watch YouTube! Even if you don't have subscription accounts, there are so many free movies and videos that come with this TV already. I was absolutely blown away at how many different channels and movies come with it. I never had any idea you were able to enjoy so much content without having to pay extra. My kids were thrilled to see there were a lot of movies that they have not seen and they get to watch them for free! The sound quality is so clear. The best I have ever heard on any TV. We didn't even want to set up surround sound speakers because it works so well in our bedroom. Something that I appreciate and I know it's just a small thing but when you turn the TV on and off it does not make a clicking noise. That's really nice. I don't think I could be any more satisfied than I am. I am thoroughly amazed at Vizio and the quality of this television. Our family movie nights are even more enjoyable. Better than they have ever been!

VIZIO 40" TV, Model D40f-J09
I I'm very happy with the VIZIO 40" TV, Model D40f-J09... just one complaint. Unfortunately, I still had to purchase and connect a ROKU stick in order to be able to download the Spectrum TV App. I'm not sure why, but VIZIO will not allow the Spectrum App to be downloaded.
Awesome secondary TV!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Makes a great secondary TV! How I use it: usually stream videos from apps that come with the TV or cast from phone. No complaints so far and for the price, the performance is good. Would recommend this if needed as a secondary. Currently used in the basement and will probably mount for exercising. The only downside I can think of is if there are 2 Vizio TVs in the same room, remote will work on both. It did for us at least.
Excellent TV
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, I really like this tv. It is a good size and has a clear picture. Sound quality is also good. Maybe it is just me but I could not find the usb/hdmi hook ups. They are located on the back of the tv over on the right side. Kind of hidden. You only get one set of component hook ups (the red, yellow, white cords) Then you have the cable/antenna hook up. It seems to me that the tv is really slow at moving from one thing to the other when I press buttons. But this is not a big deal. You do not get a user manual and the little pamphlet you get with the tv is not worth a lot. There are two. One is a short set up guide and the other the print is so tiny I have no idea what it is. I did find the owner manual is available online and accessible through the tv. I had to do a lot of click and guess when setting the television up. It is not hard at all to set up. It will ask you immediately to connect it to wifi. You also CAN NOT opt out of sharing data. I do not like this. I declined this option and it went to another page and told me the tv won't work if I decline and I went back to the accept sharing of data page. So there is no way to opt out. I guess you could use the tv not connected to the internet. You would still be able to hook up to cable or an antenna and also add your own components. There are lots of free channels and apps preloaded on the tv. Most of it was not anything I was interested in but everyone is different. The remote has buttons for Prime Video, Disney+ and a few other things for quick access. The remote also comes with 2 batteries so you are good to go when you get it out of the box. The tv has a usb port and 2 hdmi ports. I had some videos on a usb that were mp4 and I just plugged the usb in to the back of the tv in the usb port, click input on remote, and go to usb and was able to watch my videos. I have only had this television for a short time but over all it seems to be a great investment. I would recommend it to others.
Nice tv!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a perfect size tv for what we needed. It was very easy to set up the remote works great. The resolution and color are good. If you're not straight in front of the tv the picture is not perfect but I think that goes with any tv. Very sleek and modern looking!

Absolute junk
This TV is a piece of absolute junk. It buffers constantly. When going from streaming to live TV, it always locks up. To switch between any kind of viewing option, you have to reboot the entire TV. That is to say nothing of the constant buffering while trying to stream, or cast some thing to this TV. Read the other negative reviews and you will see this is a common problem with this brand of TV. It's not a router or Internet problem, It is a problem with this brand. Going to be returning this and I am never buying another Visio product ever. I expected better from a name brand especially at this price point, but this thing is nothing but an expensive paperweight.

issues
The tv itself is great, but I have a fair amount of issues with the remote and the tv not responding. I'll have to unplug and replug the tv at least a couple times a week as the remote won't work and neither will any of the built in buttons on the tv. Mildly frustrating, but you get what you pay for. Besides that, a perfectly fine tv.
