I bought this tv and right out of the box it did not work, the home screen was just black and aside from the Netflix button working, almost every other button on the remote would black screen or turn off the tv and freeze the buttons for a few minutes. I exchanged it for another one thinking I had a lemon and encountered the exact same issue. I contacted Vizio support and the dude I talked with helped me through a couple of resets (which I had tried previously), and nothing worked. I was told that there is an update coming soon that should fix it but they had no timeline and it "could be today, could be in a few months". Luckily the update happened a couple days later right before I was going to return it and so far I am very happy with the TV. Easy to navigate the home screen and the picture adjustment is great for gaming. My only complaint at this point is there is no HBO app. Hoping it holds up for a few years.

Today's televisions are HUGE! They're marketed as "bigger is better". However, not everyone needs or wants a television that's six feet wide, mounted above one's fireplace mantel, and showcased like a trophy. We have a television cabinet (actually its a very nicely crafted piece of furniture from the Amish country) that was custom-made for our living room...back when cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions maxed-out around 40" (and weighed 150 pounds). Now a 32"-40" LED is considered a computer monitor! When I was looking for a new 4K HD TV, I was hard pressed to find anything on the market with the quality and features with a "smaller" screen that would fit into our cabinet...until I found the VIZIO V-Series 40" Class 4K HDR Smart TV (V405-G9). This TV has a great picture, it's easy to set-up, and has three (3) HDMI ports...usually TVs of this size only have 2. The remote has a clean and simple design. And the sound quality straight out of the box is good (although I just purchased a VIZIO sound bar/sub-woofer to enhance the overall movie viewing experience). If you want a great television without having to sacrifice picture and sound quality, this is the perfect product for you. Thank you, VIZIO.

We put this up in the game room and are very pleased. It has a great picture, sound, and so many options that are great in a smart tv. The last Vizio we bought about 8 years ago is still going strong. Very reliable brand and tv, would highly recommend. Just have your teen kids close for all the “smart tv) setting up apps etc... I'm nearly 50 and not so tech savvy. Once it's set up, ezpz. Thank you for an economical, reliable tv!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always been a fan of Vizio. They are reasonably priced, they come with the zero bright pixel guarantee. Support is decent when you need it (I had a TV die in the past and it was fixed free of charge within a week). Otherwise, I have never needed to contact support. The only other issue I have ever had was registering the product and getting it on my Vizio account to allow smart home devices to connect with it (does not apparently work well with older iPhone 8's). Also, the website has some issues as it was not able to recognize the code that is displayed on the TV screen. Not sure what changed as this used to be a simple process but took me around 2 hours to get it all working (was able to get it to work with an Amazon Fire Tablet). Besides the registration/attaching to your account process, I love this product and have been using it for years.

I purchased this unit a month ago (after owning three other TV's and monitors, all VIZIO) and I'm very pleased with its performance as a TV, and even more when I connect my 10 security cameras (all 4K capable) to it. Pictures are bright and sharp. (As an old VIZIO customer I recommand it.

Most features were easy to set up and simple to connect to existing subscriptions for most streaming services I would like to see more common pre-set apps like ESPN, but with the ability to Chromecast from my pixel phone or use Apple Air from my husband's phone, we've got it covered. Good sharp picture at attractive price point.

I bought my 50" Vizio TV in February 2020 and it has been the best TV I've ever purchased. I love all the great modern features and the High Definition picture. This Visio is a smart TV, so you'll need an internet connection, but when connected we can watch our Netflix and Prime Video account directly without using our AppleTV box! The watch free app is also great and had a bunch of cool movies (some are cheesy but free)! Love this TV and would recommend it highly!

My first flat screen tv was a vizio. Then I strayed to another brand. I wasn't quite happy with it. So I went and bought yet a third brand. It was ok for a while until it went bad. I finally got my head on straight and went back to vizio and I'm so glad I did. Thanks vizio.

I bought this about 3 weeks ago. At first I was debating about returning this tv because the smart cast and watch free apps did not work even connected to my home internet. After about the 4th day it started to work. And yes I did check to see if the software was update. Now the tv finally functions completely and works like a charm. Absolutely love this tv.

The set up was a lot of work, the TV doesn't work well with certain wi-fi set up so finally figured out how to fix the problem from people on the internet, not Vizio. Vizio doesn't have an app for sling TV, so that has to be cast and does not ever work.
