Great TV for newbie to streaming. We needed a smart TV as we changed to high speed cable. We already have a Visio that is well over15 years or more and works great. It has so many app’s already installed. I was amazed at the free TV available. Use your smart phone for set up for the easiest experience and download the Visio app as you can use your phone as a remote. There was other complaints about it being slow to open apps but it’s like seconds and not minutes. This is our first time so I don’t have any other comparison. The TV self adjusts its picture and the colors are good. I’m going to add a sound bar as we are hard of hearing. It had captions setting. The 40 inch is actually 35 inches wide. It’s 40 inches diagonally . I still have a TV cabinet with a 40 inch opening. It fits good. We have learned to stream with ease using Visio. The phone app has a good help section.

This is my second 40" Vizio in six years (my only beef was the flimsy legs that eventually snapped and even after multiple mendings toppled the screen over and cracked it, which was easily solved this time by buying an inexpensive yet sturdy universal stand that really elevates the look of the TV overall). And after the WORLD'S EASIEST setup, I am amazed that something technological was actually designed well and is easy to use. You pick your language, connect to your wi-fi, choose the "input" of your optional Apple or Roku or whatever, and you're done. Compared to the equivalent size competitor television with a ton of angry reviews about how annoying the set up was, I couldn't be happier. Talk about hassle free! And five years later, Vizio has greatly improved the lag on the old model that I used to just deal with (for the price, I could hardly complain), and the picture is even better, sharp and vivid. For this price point and size, I highly recommend! (Side note: this may just be specific to my mailing address, but Amazon sent this via USPS, which required going down to the post office to pick it up, not a big deal but just fyi).

Very easy to set up The sound and visual is great I have a apple box connected with this tv and the tv remote is also connected to the apple box meaning I only need 1 remote now that's great too. The color is very precise excellent choice

The Vizio TV is a treasure. I dropped my cable television package, kept only my internet, and use a streaming package and saved a lot on my money payments. The TV was the perfect size for the room I use it in. The picture is excellent as well as the sound. This is my second purchase and that should be testimony enough. The price is amazing as well.

Great TV for the money. There's a setting in settings that allows you to either return to the same app. you were watching or to the Home Screen the next time you power on. I was watch watching antenna TV and when I turned it off and power on again it would go to the homescreen. Go to Settings and you have the options to return to antenna or apps upon powering up the tv.

This is one of the best smart TVs ever!! it is absolutely perfect for us. The sound is amazing. The color is incredibly sharp and it’s so easy to use! We’re not shot but it’s super simple for us.😊

This is probably the last TV we'll get to fit our early 2000s entertainment center - you can barely slide a piece of paper between it & the wood walls surrounding it! That was reason #1 for buying it. It's got a great picture, great sound (despite what other reviews say), and it works off Android, which is better than FireTV, imo. No lag while shutting it off, it pulls up streaming apps really fast, and there's a whole bunch of free stuff to watch through WatchFree.

It has a wide array of Free TV apps already loaded and other popular apps selectable from the remote. Wifi streaming works pretty well, but I prefer using the Fire TV just for quicker selection of apps. The big drawback for me was the lack of a 3rd HDMI or composite input (RCA plugs) for connecting a 3rd peripheral like a game console or DVD player. It does have a USB input and an optical audio output. My DirecTV remote does not have the coding for on/off control of the TV. It will control only the volume. The picture settings are pre-programmed for different types of viewing (gaming, sports, movie, etc.), but none of them are set very well. Fortunately, you can manually adjust brightness, contrast, sharpness, etc, for each type and save your settings which results in a really good, sharp picture after adjusting. My older Vizio was easier to setup the picture and has additional inputs.
