It's as though Walmart knew I needed this very set
Moved into a lovely MIL suite (“Thank you, son, for building this beautiful house, AND for providing an awesome apartment in it for me.”) and needed an upgrade from my old bulky TV. We trust Walmart so we checked out their inventory, and…Voilà! Found the perfect set for my sitting room. Just the right size (doesn't overwhelm the room or scream, “Notice me instead of all these antiques ?”). The picture is perfect, the options are easily accessed; I could not be happier.

Really disappointed. I ordered this TV May 2022, Feb 25Th 2023 I turned the TV on and white vertical lines appeared on the screen, which is weird because the day before it worked just fine. I was able to call Vizio, because it hasn't been a year yet it was still under company warranty. Currently in the process of getting a refund, they aren't able to to replace it smh. I should have read the reviews a little more because it seems as though it has happened to a lot of people, don't waste your time getting the TV!

    I've only had my Vizio for a week now and honestly the picture on this tv is beautiful but I can barely play anything on the apps! And I have several apps that I'm paying for(and some are not cheap!) I'm wasting my my money! And it would be nice if I had a tv guide for the channels. I'm disappointed and really wish I had read all the other comments before buying. Most of my tvs come from Walmart (in store purchase) and I've never had a problem. This is my second time ordering online in electronics and the first item was returned smh

    Do not buy a Vizio
    The would freeze so we brought a device to help the internet. This month it all of a sudden started showing lines in the tv. It's a hassle trying to get a replacement from Vizio. Keep your receipt because they will not take your info from the app. They gave me a number to call Walmart corporate. Now I have to wait 4 days for a receipt. Bad bad bad tv and service.

    Returned Vizio TV
    The picture quality is great, but the tv does not have a broadcast guide in it. How can you watch if you don't know what's on. The remote control doesn't work half the time, I allways have problems trying to change channels. I don't recommend this tv. I have a return processing. May get another TCL.

    Do yourself a favor. Do not purchase this D series TV. When powering on it constantly gets stuck on a Smartcast is loading screen for over 20 minutes. I'm about to choose another brand of TVs. Visio has been my choice for years with no issues. I read the warnings in the reviews prior to purchasing this one. I should have listened. I purchase this TV 6 months ago and it won't power on.

    Buy At Your Own Risk
    I have had nothing but problems with this tv. It's been replaced once within 3 mos. of purchasing and now 6 mos. later, there are so many vertical lines on display, you can't watch. When you contact support, you have to jump through hoops to get warranty work. Guess it's time to buy a different tv. Sorry but I will never buy another Vizio product. I'm done.

    Waste of money
    Within the first few minutes of setting up the tv fresh out of the box, the volume buttons on the remote had issues. Couple weeks later, the whole top half of the buttons on the remote stopped working, had to download the Vizio app but also had trouble connecting to the app. Now, 2 months later, white lines across the screen appeared. Did all the trouble shooting they suggested and nothings helped. Got the warranty but idk if they'll even do anything about it. Very disappointed.

    Crap
    Plug it in before you waste your time installing it. Got it installed and turned it on. The screen was all cracked, then I had th borrow a truck to get it back to the store to return it! Now I won't get the Black Friday price to order another one!

    You get what you pay for i guess.
    I just purchased this TV 7 months ago and the screen is already defective. Also the remote is unresponsive a lot of the time, it's like it takes a few clicks to get going. I tried to submit a claim on the Vizio website since it is still under manufactures 1 year warranty, but the site seems janky and I don't know if it submitted for sure..

    poor quality
    i bought this T.v. 1 year ago, have maybe only watched it 8 to 10 times, and the screen is going out. For a television to not be on majority of the time it should have lasted longer. don't recommend.

    Color great. Performance is a NO
    Color is beautiful while you are able to watch it. Constantly looses connection to HDMI Cable. One instance it flashed on and off several times then came back on and everything on screen was a bright neon green! We have had to manually reset this tv way too many times since our purchase on 2/12/2022!! Thought at one time the problem was corrected. Threw box out. And whatta ya know?! Yep! Same problem started!!Ridiculous!! Says no signal yet other tv's on same Satellite Provider are working very well. We even called Vizio and they reset the tv from their location. And still received same message on tv. They said it was the HDMI's fault. At this point , I don't know, but sometimes we are able to actually watch this tv. I would look at other products if I were you. Will be calling manager tomorrow to see if we can still return it without the box.

    Great picture quality and features
    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.

    Perfect
    Perfect smart TV. Especially at this price point. I've always owned Vizios. And I keep coming back to them. Because they are easy to set up, easy to operate and last for a long long time. Mine have gone through move after move and still keep on going strong. The apps are easy to understand. Especially if you are new to smart TV. The color is good. The sound is good. I honestly can't think of any cons. Buy it!

    AMAZING SMART TV
    I do not even know where to start when stating how much we love this 40 in LED Smart TV! First off, the TV is very light and was easy to mount to the wall. We were amazed by how easy it was to use the remote and set it up. We were able to quickly log in to our streaming accounts right away with no hassle. This TV has 1080 FULL HD and Full Array so the picture quality is outstanding and better than our other TV's that are less than 2 years old. The sound quality is also extremely good! My son can hear the TV very clearly without turning the volume up high and never have to yell to turn it down. The best part for my 4 year old who has the TV in his room is the fact that the remote has the streaming app buttons on it so he doesn't have to ask for help when turning them on searching for them on the menu. He turns the TV on and presses Netflix or Disney + or YouTube himself. This TV is very user friendly! This TV also has 2 HDMI inputs and 1 USB input and built-in Chromecast as well Can't go wrong with this TV!!!

    Awesome secondary TV!
    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.

    Amazing picture quality.
    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!

    Excellent TV
    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.

    GREAT Vizio TV!
    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!

    Beautiful Picture!
    This tv has such a great, clear picture! It's a perfect size for my bedroom. I love that all the apps I normally use to stream my shows and movies are already on it and I didn't have to download them or look for them. It makes it super easy for anyone to use!
