Won't always turn on and long delays. Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this TV in October 2020 for our bedroom. We only use it approximately 1-2 hours a few times per week. Over the last week the TV will not turn on. I have to unplug the tv and plug it back in and eventually it will turn on. There is also a long delay now for everything...loading the app, volume, and pausing & resuming a show. Just over a year ago, I purchased 3 TLC TV's for our kid's bedrooms. We have had zero issues with those. Thought I would give Vizio a try just because I have heard great things about them. Very disappointed.

Unimpressive picture and horrible sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this TV as an open box buy because it was a great deal, but was disappointed the moment I turned it on. Picture wasn’t good and the sounds was horrible! Returned it as fast as possible and bought a Sony!

Wouldn't recommend
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV is a pain, the remote sucks!

Do Not Buy
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.apparently this issue i searched online with it powering off has been for awhile now. it purchased this in July and the last 2 months it's been powering off and on. then sometimes you cannot turn it on unless you remove the power cord. i thought i had a bad cable box. replaced. i thought i had a bad hdmi cable. replaced. it is the TV. i was in the TV, home theater & home audio industry before so i know a good amount of troubleshooting. also the google cast is horrible. i put back my actual Chromecast. my first Vizio and may be my last. I had better experience with Coby TVs and even Norcent.

Posted .Hello disapointed, from your review I am not sure what is not working with the SmartCast inputs. Do your applications launch if you use the quick buttons on the television remote.

Affordable TV, but at the cost of quality?
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV was on sale, so I figured why not? 40" is a decent mid-size TV for a small bedroom. Upon first turning it on and going through setup, I already noticed that the SmartTV features were laggy and not smooth. Two months in, and the TV started showing weird behavior - turning off by itself, freezing during playback. Even after turning off the TV and unplugging it, sometimes it does not turn back on for a few hours. Unfortunately, it's too late to return the TV, so I'll need to contact Vizio. Save your money and hassle, do not buy this model.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We recently purchased this smaller version smart tv for the bedroom.... unlike it’s larger sister this tv will not allow Netflix to play.

Keeps losing internet
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The tv is great when it works however twice on the past three weeks it has lost internet connection(WiFi). The product needs a factory reset which wipes all saved apps from the device.

Terrible for Casting and Streaming
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is no reliability with this TV. Even with something basic as turning it on or off. It frequently needs to be unplugged just to power off, and it doesnt seem to have enough memory to support any of the apps that are on it. Scrolling through the TV's own "free channel" list is extremely tedious, taking as much as 20 seconds to flip to the next channel. If you get it for cheap just to use the HDMI, go for it, Using this TV for casting or streaming is an absolutely horrible experience.

Worst TV ever
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Went into store with 3 other TVs in mind. Based on my wishlist a blue shirt directed me to this. He didn't know what he was talking about. I returned this piece of junk within 48hrs and left with one on my original list. I have NEVER returned a TV before. I would NEVER ask the advice of a blue shirt EVER AGAIN. Picture sucks! I have another 720 TV that has an awesome pic this one didnt. Couldn't enjoy watching it. I gave 1 star only because I couldn't give a 0.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend Fussy television
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sometimes it can find my wifi network but most of the time it cannot, so I can’t often use the smartcast and watch free features. Does not work with my DVD player.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWould not buy again
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At first this TV worked fine with the exception of a strange line of light showing at the top right corner. I have never seen anything like that before, but it still worked. More recently when turning the TV on the sound does not work. To get it to work we have to unplug it and plug it back in. Bought in April of 2020 and would return if we could, but unfortunately the return window has passed.
