VIZIO 40-inch Full HD 1080p Smart TV with DTS Virtual: X, Alexa Compatibility, Google Cast Built-in, Bluetooth Headphone Capable, (VFD40M-08 New)

I saw several complaints about the sound quality, and "You'll need a soundbar or some kind of external speaker(s)", but that wasn't the case at all. The sound quality on this TV actually isn't bad at all. That was the only thing holding me back from purchasing it, so I didn't have very high hopes going in. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. Not that it sounds right up there with the best or anything like that, because it doesn't and it isn't, but the average user shouldn't have any problem with the sound quality straight out of the box. The picture quality is equally as surprising. It's a 1080p TV, so don't expect mind blowing clarity, but for what it is and what it costs, it's really nice, and with all kinds of settings that I've never heard of. I actually did very little in the way of setting this thing up. I remember reading somewhere just a few days ago that Vizio TVs are factory preset to the taste of individual countries that they ship them to, and after reading that, it made sense to me why there was very little adjustment necessary. LOL I think I spent more time getting it out of the box than I did making adjustments. Setup was a breeze. It found my Wi-Fi immediately, I put my password in to get it connected, and inside of a few seconds, it was ready to go... or so I thought Naturally, the first thing it wanted to do was install a bunch of updates. Doesn't everything anymore? After downloading, installing, restarting, installing, restarting, installing, restarting, I was finally ready to do a channel scan. Yeah, I got cable TV out of my life over 20 years ago, and I haven't missed it one bit. The scan took three to four minutes and brought up like 48 channels. I'm still working on this input called Watch Free, and as near as I can tell, it's kind of a mix with your station presets and other select material probably based on those stations. In the 3+ weeks since delivery, I haven't experienced one flaw, lockup, random restart, random power down, glitch or hiccup out of it.There are a few little things about it that I'm not too thrilled about, namely the complete lack of RCA inputs, only two HDMI inputs, and when inputting channels on OTA TV using the number pad, it brings up an on-screen numberpad, but instead of intuitively hitting the center button, you have to use the arrow down to navigate to an area at the bottom of the on-screen keypad, and when you get to the correct tab, THEN hit the center button. Next, arguably the most used controls on the remote, the channel and volume keys... Why do they all now place those keys so low on the remote? Those keys are way down near the bottom to the point that you don't really have any room to hold onto the remote. The remote is also narrow, thin, short, and VERY slippery. Overall, I guess it's ok, but a universal remote is probably in my near future. As the title says, keep your expectations reasonable, and you shouldn't be disappointed. If you want a TV that performs like a $1000+ set, then go spend $1000 on a set, and you'll be just fine. As far as its current price tag of $138 is concerned, you're getting a LOT of TV for your money.EDIT:At almost two months in, I've been able to integrate it into my entertainment needs without much of any learning curve, and I'm still happy with my purchase.

I bought this to use for Karaoke. The video projector where I do karaoke is down and I don't know when it will be up again. I used my old 32 inch flat screen in place of the projector but it's heavy, 34 pounds, I already have enough heavy equipment to carry-in as is. I decided to permanently not use the projector so I bought this flat screen. It's 40 inches and only weighs just under 19 pounds, it's feel like picking up a plastic box full of air. So far it's working great. It's a pretty minimal tv, no buttons, you must use the remote. It has two HDMI, antenna, USB for ARC, and will connect to WIFI to be a smart TV. It pretty much has most things that a person would want. It does remember how it was set up when the power is killed so I don't even need to take the remote with me when doing karaoke.

Good TV for the money! The setup was easy and intuitive and picture is clear and crisp. My only issue with it was that the feet are further apart then my previous tv. Because of this, I couldn't sit the tv on the same stand that it was on before. I ended up ordering an aftermarket tv stand that mounted on the back and made it into a monitor style stand. It not fits great where I need it to. Great TV, just be cautious if it will fit where you need it due to the wide legs.

Got this TV to replace my 2nd monitor. I use it as my main screen and have two computers connected to it. It is easy to change between the two systems. As a bonus, it also has TV channels and apps built in if I want to watch TV at my desk. It is nice and light and has a great, clear picture. The size is a little smaller than the screen that it replaced, but I like it more, and it feels great for my viewing and gaming experience. Hard to beat the price for what you get.

Bought this for my RV. It's not heavy at all. It's so light it feels like those fake ones realtors use for staging homes. The picture is stupid good. I have three 40's in the extra bedrooms in my home and this one has hands down the clearest picture. The irony is that it was also the cheapest TV.

Our first Vizio was great, but the sound quit working after a lightening storm so we got this newer version....it's not so great. You can hear it buzzing and static really loud while trying to watch tv. It's very annoying. It's too late to return it now but Zi guess that's what you get for $138!

We love this tv was placed in our bedroom the color is excellent and the best thing is it’s a wi fi tv you don’t need an antenna and you get many tv stations. We love it

It's cheap, it's light, it's functional. It has a lot of blue backlight for me which makes it a bit jarring, but it is what it is. I replaced my TV from 8 years ago with this, and it's much cheaper and much lighter, but the picture quality is worse. But it's functional, and it shows you what it needs to show. Can't really complain.
