Was great until it updated

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The tv was great until the last update. No it won't turn on or off the smart cast is dead. I had to factory wipe it and disconnect the internet from the tv just so it will turn on and off. Once it's allowed to update it's just a blue screen and unresponsive. You have to plug or unplug it to use it. The update bricked the tv completely.

The wireless connection and easy set up

I bought this tv for my bedroom.. at first I was worried about the set up and connecting my new tv from my tv in family room. I bought extra cables... when I received my tv, I was relieved that the set was so easy. No other cables needed.. You don't need a man to help out.

Great picture poor documentation and limitied apps

I bought this just before the holidays. I needed a screen that would fit within a cabinet. There ae limited options around the 40 inch size. The picture is great but the documentation and the number of apps are limited compared to the Amazon Firefox enabled Toshiba product.

Great TV

We really love this TV. The size, the screen clarity, the operation, the channel choices, the remote. The last TV we purchased was a Visio more than 10 years ago and it always worked well, but smart TV technology has come a long way we are really loving it.

So far so good

I previously owned a 26 inch ViZio for for about 12 years. It still worked when I gave it away after purchasing a larger tv. I had a 55 inch Hisense that lasted 2.5 years before something in the processor went out and the picture looked awful. Blacks looked bad and colors were off. So far the 60 inch Vizio V series looks great. I did a lot of research before buying. Based on reading various review sites, the only TVs with better Black uniformity were QLED, which was in another class and three times the money. The V series had better Black uniformity was than ALL LEDs. I hope this one lasts as long as my last Vizio, if so then I will be a Vizio man for life.

40' Smart TV 2160p 4K "Bedroom ideal"

I upgraded my vizio 32 HD to 40 inch Smart TV. I using it in my bedroom and it just right not too large not too small. Pictures are awesome! I can change the picture setting when I watch any movies or tv on any channel apps. Volume is great too. The remote is large but buttons are small I accidentally press the wrong channels but no biggie just press the "home" button and back to normal. I wish it would light up but all remotes that I own don't have these features unless you under cable provider. I love the smart cast feature and easy to access other HDMI change their names DVD, etc. I really love that its Smart and 2160p & 4K.

Love the new bedroom TV.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this to replace an old 27" 720p tv in our bedroom, and it is such an upgrade. I love the picture, great sound, and easy to use. And I'm a huge fan of the OS and being able to cast from my phone also.

Cautiously Optimistic

I have had bad luck with Vizio TVs in the past, so I was hesitant to purchase another. This TV was not my first choice, but that one arrive completely smashed so I bought this instead. It is replacing a 40-inch Sony that we just moved into the sunroom. I have been pretty pleased with the ease of setup and the performance and utility of the SmartCast features. There is tons of free content. I am a little disappointed with the choice of native apps and that there is no app store to add the apps of your choice to the TV. This means you have to "cast" from your phone any content you want to see for which there is no app. That is the only reason for taking off a star. Other than that, this TV is excellent for the price in terms of picture quality, menu and configuration options, picture/color adjustments and so on. It connected to my internet on the first try, and I was using my Google smart speaker to voice control it just a few minutes later. I am really happy with it, and my expectations were high coming from Sony whose TVs I love.

Loving this TV so far

The picture on this TV is outstanding! I own other brands, and the features on this model are far better than anything I have ever seen. In addition, I tried using a sound bar with other models, and the synch was off. Not so with the Vizio! I am extremely pleased with my purchase.

Great picture, lacking apps

The picture is amazing especially for the price. The smartcast navigation and the available apps are lacking. Switched from a roku TV where I could add apps that I want and use. The lack of personalization is frustrating. Will probably replace TV in the future and move this one into a bedroom. Overall decent TV for price.
