Hi everyone. Just wanted to give you an update. About 5:35 Vizio has now added HBO Max but this tip can STILL be used for apps not on Vizio. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have anymore questions.
If you You press the cast button on a TH-cam video (not using the Chromecast end) from your phone your phone should act as a remote for RW and FF playback ability I thought, if you're casting it from your phone you can't RR it or FF it using the TV remote those are my findings I love your review by the way 😁
@@sharodw454 hello!! Thank you so much for watching. I still can’t use it on the tv but with a phone/iPad I can RW & FF. But that’s interesting that you can. I really appreciate the tip ☺️
I bought this TV a few months ago as a bedroom TV. I've liked it just fine. My best friend is using an 11 year old 32" Samsung that's finally giving out so I'm giving this one to her for Christmas. Reading reviews online really bummed me out about giving her something "mediocre" but I don't have the extra cash for something brand new. Your perspective on it really made me feel better about it. It's a perfectly fine TV for average use, especially in a smaller space.
Just bought this for my office! Love your review. I don't care about the 4k because that's not super important. I don't watch much TV and didn't want to spend a ton of money on one.
You smile and enthusiasm are infectious!! and great review! Picking this up for 140 bucks new in box from a local source. Will be for the bedroom just for regular tv and streaming, no gaming.replacing an old 37 in 720p so nice upgrade.
Excellent picture and colors TV's. I buy a Vizio Smart TV D-Series Full HD 40 inches last month and i loved is my second Vizio Smart TV that i buy at best buy stores my another smart Vizio tv that i have in bedroom is 38 inches 👍💯
@@ShantalRhodes you to hope the sun 🌞 is shining get out there and enjoy it. Looking forward to next video. You may always want to talk about how the picture is when gaming. I'm a gamer so I'm always looking for best tvs out there
Thanks so much for your review,My Samsung just blew out so I was looking around came up on this TV check the reviews out and I think you made my mind up, thanks again and love you energy, keep up the good work.
the vents in the back are for the cooling the speakers fire down on whatever stand its on i own this exact model and know it inside out look under the base were the legs are next to it are the speakers
@@ShantalRhodes no worries! I actually ended up buying it based off your review and BRUH! suchhh a nice tv for the money! I have a really nice tv in my living room and I bought this for my garage and in some ways the picture quality is just as nice and at times even nicer than my 4k tv. i think the 1080p while not as detailed, the colors are more contrasty and it makes it look super clear. Thanks again!
Thank you so much, my old one broke so I need to get a new one. Your review is so useful and informative, make me feel confident about this tv. Thank you!
I just bought a 43in, two days ago, I love it, it's perfect for My motor home wich I live in, fits in my front room great, and I have a 32in in my bdrm, 👍🙏
Hey there!! Thanks so much for watching and I’m glad that your enjoying the tv. Sometimes it’s the smaller sizes that works out better. Thanks again and have a good day.
Hello thank you so much for watching. I was happy with the sound and quality but I had to get another tv. It’s the same brand but a different model. If you like I shared a review on my channel under the VIZIO PLAYLIST and with this current tv i like it better than this one. BUT I still recommend this version and I’m sure you can find it cheaper. Thanks again for watching.
Hello there. When in doubt unplug and plug. Sometimes that might work. Another thing it might need an update so check for that it’s in your settings. Let me know if this works. 😊
@@ShantalRhodes Hi how are you doing Thank you for the information my brother say he coming this weekend to bring me an entertainment center for my new tv Vizio Smart TV he don't use and I hope he show me how to use the TV control correctly because I have a real trouble with that Lol Remote controls for TVs are increasingly complicated to understand 😕 From Orlando Florida this is Denice Carla
@DeniceCarlaGordon-kd1kg I’m doing good thanks and you? no problem. Also if you download the Vizio app you there is a remote feature on the app. As long as you have WiFi it’ll connect. That’s nice that your brother is giving you an entertainment center. Again any questions let me know and I’ll be happy to help.
Hello there. I recommend the highest speed you can find. The tv is constantly changing and adding more features so having the best internet would be ideal. I don’t know any particular brand and I wouldn’t suggest mind lol but if you can find one that won’t hurt the bank and it’s fast I would love to know. Thanks for watching!!
It's the best 1080p TV left. So, the 1080 - which is still a lot of content - is actually more detailed than on a 4k. And there's also less stutter and other issues. But you don't get the colors, contrast ratio and local dimming of an expensive 4k.
Hey there. You know I noticed that when I watch certain TH-cam vids the quality looks very clear and vibrant. Thank you so much for watching and the comment
Hi, to pause you hit the "OK" button. Whatever you're watching will pause until you return. This feature works on many if not all, the apps. Hope this helps.
@@ShantalRhodes Adding to Bonecheeka's reply - fast forward and rewind options are located on the circle surrounding OK (pause) button. Immediately to the right of OK button you can press and fast forward; Immediately to the left of OK, you can rewind. If you haven't already found these features - hope this helps.
I had the v405 h19, it's very similar to this one but mine had quality issues. The power plug in the back was loose and the tv would randomly shut off on its own. I went back to my old Vizio from 2011 and added a Roku box .
Hello. Thanks for watching. Sorry that happen to you. I haven’t had any shut off problems but lately and it’s not often but I would have turn it on and off to get it on. Not sure why but again it’s not often. Yeah having another source like a Roku box or fire stick is better than the channels from the tv. Hope you have a good day.
I ordered the 32" version for the low low lol. I was pondering about the 4k stuff as well..but like you said. I don't have that 4K money. This tv is just going to be for me to play xbox primarily.
Oh, I the fact that its a smart tv will allow me to free up space on the firestick since I can just access apps like pluto and tubi from the tv. I can just use the firestick for all the jailbroken apps.
@@ShantalRhodes yup yup.. I just love my tv.. even though I dont use many of the apps installed. I have my computer connected to one of the hdmi ports. So it is very convieniant when I do image editing and such.. I also have an older apple computer that I have hooked to it as well.. the reason I have it is only for one reason... His name was Prince.. and his CD set has special features only playable on my macbook's.
@@Ross-re7yg I’ve been thinking about editing using the tv. I’ll have to try it. Can’t go wrong with Prince. Thanks again and hope your having a good day.
Hello and happy new year. I have a newer model of this tv. basically the newer model is gaming base but STILL has great color. I’ll be sure to do a quick review soon. This model of the tv still is a great option If you can find it. That’s why I added the model name in title. Thanks
@@ShantalRhodes very welcome ❤️ I found a tossed out Vizio 43" flat screen TV. Think it's a few years old. Seems to work, but the upper portion seems darker, not as much back light. I'm guessing that the LED lights are going out. Also found an LG OLED 65" TV. Think it works okay but haven't tested it yet. Hugs ❤️🤗
@j.lietka9406 I see. I know with the older model I had I had trouble with the backlight. With this newer version they have an option to manually change the setting. I hope the LG works!!
@@ShantalRhodes for a kind of hobby I look for electronics in dumpsters and curbside stuff! PCs laptops Chromebooks gaming systems tablets... The 43" Vizio I found doesn't have a lot of HDMI ports - just 2, and some RCA cable ports. Think this TV was for Cable channel service. Hugs 🤗😘
Hey there. It’s been a awhile and I don’t remember much. I think I was a little shocked that the tv fit on the legs. But make sure everything is lined up and each leg is on the right side. I hope this helps.
Hey there. It’s possible if the tv recognizes your phone. I would do a quick google to be on the safe side. Thank you for watching and have a good day.
This was a great review! I really appreciate you taking the time to point out the flaws/drawbacks. I'm comparing this TV to a Samsung at a similar size/price. A year later, with updates, has any new features (like pause) improved?
Hello Bill. Thank you so much for watching and the kind words. After a year (it’ll be 2 soon) still going good and the pause feature is fine and working. The colors are stunning and sometimes depending on what I watch it looks like 4K. The updates to the tv are more inside like smartcast. They are consistently added new things and apps and the app has had a nice update as well. Thanks again.
Hi Di’amyn thanks for watching. It does lag but in my experience it depends on what you are watching. After playing around with it more I found that if i use the screen mirroring feature i do experience lagging but if i watch like hbo max through chromecast or airplay I don’t experience any lag. Please let me know if this helps and if you have anymore questions.
@@ShantalRhodes Hi! it does help a lot ! I use my Roku and chrome cast now . So I mostly use netflix , Hulu, Disney + & youtube . Just was nervous because people were making it seem as of the whole tv lagged in general when doing anything . I don’t think I’ll use screen mirroring as often so that won’t bother me lol. As long as it’s not the whole TV
@@mermaidDS I found that the in house apps like Hulu/Disney +/ Amazon work fine. But I do like using the airplay and chromecast just for different things. If you get this hope you enjoy it 😊
Get the signal closer to the TV or get a WIFI extender and make sure to get it in as clear view of the modem and router as you can. Signals have to travel through walls and that lowers the signal strength, straight signals work way better. Should have a signal strength indicator in the settings so you know where you can put the TV to get a better signal. Am A+ Computer Specialist Certified since 2001 and also fix electronics. Hope this helps, thinking of getting this TV and I have bunch of extenders everywhere in the house and tablets, computers, laptops, cell phones work better with them.
Hey I have the same tv but I can’t to seem to get the screen saver can you make a toturial to that please beacase I saw the screen saver in the thumbnail and I was wondering if you had a tutorial about that, so can you make a tutorial please? Thank you.
Hey Sonja. The screensaver should be in the settings. I didn’t do anything it just popped up lol but I’ll make a quick one to show where it is. Thanks for watching.
Hello Thomas. Yes it can. On the SmartCast section there is already an app there and all you would need is your account to sign in. This tv has ALOT of installed apps. Thanks for watching.
Hey there. Yes but im not exactly sure how because I don’t use an antenna. But im sure that on here you’ll find an example of how. Hope this helps and thanks for the comment.
Does anyone know why, when playing a game on my Vizio smart TV, everything becomes incredibly sharp if I'm using a static menu or not changing the camera angle or moving around? But the sharpness disappears when I start moving around in the game or scrolling through the menu? Then all the sharpness returns a second after the motion stops and bothers my eyes..
Hello there. I’m not sure about this issue I haven’t played a game on here. The only thing I can think of is if you go to your tv settings and go to picture and change the picture mode. I know there is a game mode on there but see what you like and change it to your liking. Hope this helps.
Hey there. I’m not sure but I know you can use a sound bar but I believe that bar would be the main source of sound. Hope this helps and if you find anything about this topic please feel free to come back and share. Thanks for watching
I format my own tv shows and movies in mp4 and stream them from my external hard drive that’s connected to my Samsung Q60B QLED 55 inch TV. It’s like having my own personal Netflix. 😂
Hey there so I looked it up and it said there's a HDMI 2.1 port with variable refresh rate, but the panel maxes out at 60Hz. I hope this helps have a good one.
Hello there. Weather related (like the power goes out) or the internet isn’t working yes but not often. Rarely does the tv freeze but when it does you simply unplug wait and Re plug. But overall not many. Thanks for stopping by.
Hey there. There are 4 buttons on the bottom right side. The power, volume and input. There’s also a Vizio app you can use on your phone and tablet called Visio mobile. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.
The most annoying thing is you cannot add a new app on smartcast. You have to reinstall it every time to get to it. Since I am using Tablo as a dvr/live tv this is a real pain.
Hello. Thanks for stopping by. I haven’t really mess with SmartCast that much now. It’s just easier to connect through my phone or iPad. I’m sorry that your going through that. Thanks for watching again and hope your day is going well.
@@ShantalRhodes I just purchased the 24 inch d series an I live in my van so internet is out of the question all I gave is my android phone I cant get past the part where it ssys choose a wifi I had a 32 in Samsung' mp5 monitor I had in my other van an hate myself for letting it go wth the van it was judt a ine button touch an it was linked to my phone I .used what's called smart view in the tool bar on my phone when u pull down from the top of ur phone screen so I'm not very computer savvy can you please please please help me with whst I'm doing wrong
Hello Loyd. Wow okay this is a little different situation but maybe your phone isn’t a strong source for WiFi. I would recommend finding a portable Wi-Fi device. I know on TH-cam you will be able to find someone in your same situation especially the van community on there. I’m sorry I can’t be of better help but I hope this helps.
You are great but I got this TV and think I got a bad draw. Turns itself off constantly. Won’t cast consistently. Turns ON on its own. Lol literally insane. I msg’d Vizio to see if they can make this right. Mine is legit possessed.
Hey there. Sorry to hear this. I would be a little freaked out if mine did this lol. But if I can ask When it turns itself off does it go to the SmartCast section? If so I believe it’s a timer and you can turn it off in the settings ( I think it’s the energy saving on). The cast I know for mine it depends how strong of a connection I have. Let me know what response you get. Thanks for watching.
Hello Clifford. As long as you have chromecast it works. For the Bluetooth headphones I don’t see and option on this tv. It maybe in another model. Hope this helps thanks for watching.
@@ShantalRhodes as far as I know yes. I worked with several different techs and no one could help me. I tried putting them on my flash drive first… I didn’t work.
Wow I’m sorry your going through this. I wish I knew how to help. If you can please keep me posted on here so if anyone else goes through this they can see it here. I hope it works this time.
Hey Simone. If you are using a cable box or any other box you have to use a HDMI cord. I use a Phillips and there a good price at target or Walmart. Also when you go to settings and go to picture you can see other options there that might help. Let me know if it’s fixed and you can also check support.vizio.com as well.
Oh I’m not sure with the Roku system. If it’s like a fire stick it has 2 hdmi ports so you can use it that way. Good luck, thanks for watching and happy holidays.
Hello there. Please make sure that you are in the right input. When you push the input button the remote it’ll give you options. If there is still no change it might be your service. I hope this helps.
Do I have to create a Vizio account for this TV to work? Also going to be setting up a second Xbox to it do you think it will work fine for that? Mine is coming tomorrow from Walmart. Great review, I always buy things then search TH-cam lol I need to stop doing that and watch reviews first.
Hello there. Yes you have to make an account and the Xbox will work just fine as long as it’s hdmi compatible. Thanks for watching and lol yes research first if you can
Hey Genesis. I’ve experience this as well. When I looked it up it said re-buffering caused by internet connection. I’ll exit out the app, wait a few seconds and try it again. Like I said I don’t have the best internet and I use chrome cast or airplay more then using the app on SmartCast (the app on the Tv). Vizio added HBO not to long ago so it might be on their part. I hope this helps and let me know if you need help.
I connect my tv threw my hotspot on my phone since I am up on a mountain.. got good cell signal but no cable or dsl here .. I dont have any lag.. you might run a speed test on your connection.. it could be that is the problem.. interferance from other things in your home might be causing your lag as well.. try moving the tv to a different location in the room...

This is not a review because you've never reviewed nor mentioned anything the picture quality of the TV. All you talked about was the apps! That's not a review of a TV because TVs has more to review than the apps. People are more interested in the picture quality. Consumers really doesn't care about the apps because, they buy TVs for the picture quality.
You are so funny. I don't think it's the internet but it's probably the processor and internals of the TV that's why it's better to save up and after research get one with good internals like L G or Samsung.
Hello. I’m so sorry to hear that. I appreciate you watching and letting me know your experience. I hope your able to get a better one soon. Have a good night.
@@ShantalRhodes new update something told me to shut it down and unplug it so I did, turned it back on and now it runs way better. It doesn't freeze on Hulu anymore and it's much faster I just hope I don't regret saying this lol but now I can actually enjoy it, finally!

@@ShantalRhodes for a kind of hobby I look for electronics in dumpsters and curbside stuff! PCs laptops Chromebooks gaming systems tablets... The 43" Vizio I found doesn't have a lot of HDMI ports - just 2, and some RCA cable ports. Think this TV was for Cable channel service. Hugs 🤗😘
@j.lietka9406 oh wow. I mean ppl do throw out a lot of things. Especially if it still works. You be careful going in those dumpsters.
How did you get the legs on? My screws won't go in all the way.
?????
Hey there. It’s been a awhile and I don’t remember much. I think I was a little shocked that the tv fit on the legs. But make sure everything is lined up and each leg is on the right side. I hope this helps.
Hello I haven’t purchased wifi just yet for the tv could I use my hot spot from my phone to connect to apps like Netflix
Hey there. It’s possible if the tv recognizes your phone. I would do a quick google to be on the safe side. Thank you for watching and have a good day.
@@ShantalRhodes same to you thank you
This was a great review! I really appreciate you taking the time to point out the flaws/drawbacks. I'm comparing this TV to a Samsung at a similar size/price. A year later, with updates, has any new features (like pause) improved?
Hello Bill. Thank you so much for watching and the kind words. After a year (it’ll be 2 soon) still going good and the pause feature is fine and working. The colors are stunning and sometimes depending on what I watch it looks like 4K. The updates to the tv are more inside like smartcast. They are consistently added new things and apps and the app has had a nice update as well. Thanks again.
I’m looking to get this tv! But I keep seeing mixed reviews . Do you feel this Tv lag?
Hi Di’amyn thanks for watching. It does lag but in my experience it depends on what you are watching. After playing around with it more I found that if i use the screen mirroring feature i do experience lagging but if i watch like hbo max through chromecast or airplay I don’t experience any lag. Please let me know if this helps and if you have anymore questions.
@@ShantalRhodes Hi! it does help a lot ! I use my Roku and chrome cast now . So I mostly use netflix , Hulu, Disney + & youtube . Just was nervous because people were making it seem as of the whole tv lagged in general when doing anything . I don’t think I’ll use screen mirroring as often so that won’t bother me lol. As long as it’s not the whole TV
@@mermaidDS I found that the in house apps like Hulu/Disney +/ Amazon work fine. But I do like using the airplay and chromecast just for different things. If you get this hope you enjoy it 😊
@@ShantalRhodes Thanks!!!
Get the signal closer to the TV or get a WIFI extender and make sure to get it in as clear view of the modem and router as you can. Signals have to travel through walls and that lowers the signal strength, straight signals work way better. Should have a signal strength indicator in the settings so you know where you can put the TV to get a better signal. Am A+ Computer Specialist Certified since 2001 and also fix electronics. Hope this helps, thinking of getting this TV and I have bunch of extenders everywhere in the house and tablets, computers, laptops, cell phones work better with them.
Appreciate the heads up on bomb wi-fi .
Hey there. Anytime and thanks for watching.
Hey I have the same tv but I can’t to seem to get the screen saver can you make a toturial to that please beacase I saw the screen saver in the thumbnail and I was wondering if you had a tutorial about that, so can you make a tutorial please? Thank you.
Hey Sonja. The screensaver should be in the settings. I didn’t do anything it just popped up lol but I’ll make a quick one to show where it is. Thanks for watching.
Thanks
Beacase I was wondering in which section was it in so I was just asking because I didn’t see that option on my TV
Hey so I posted a short about what I found. To change the pictures you have to have a third party app. I hope this helps 😊
Thanks😊
Does your tv have an Ethernet connection on back of tv
Hey there. No it doesn’t
@@ShantalRhodes ok thank you for your quick response. Happy new year. Have a great day
@@israelcasias6565 happy new year to you as well and thanks for watching.
@Shantal Rhodes ... I have wifi, but cannot download anymore apps on my phone. Will this TV still let me get the Free channels?
Hello Rosanne. Yes. There is a watch free + input already on the tv and it’s free movies and shows on there. Hope this helps.
Hello is playstation available to play on this tv? Or any console in general
Hey there. Yes you can as long as it’s a hdmi input. Thank you for watching.
@@ShantalRhodes yes it has an hdmi thank you !
No problem
what is ur light setup on the back
Hey Matthew. I used the AndyCine R1 pocket RGB light. Got it off Amazon. Thanks for the question and watching. Hope your day is going well.
Thanks beautiful. I just bought this. Hopefully it meets my expectations
No prob. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy it.
How responsive is it going through the menus with the remote? Is it kind of laggy or is it smooth I can’t tell from the video
Hey there. It is very responsive. It does lag but not a lot and when it did it was weather related. Other than that it’s smooth. Thanks for watching
Can this TV play the TH-cam TV app? Thanks
Hello Thomas. Yes it can. On the SmartCast section there is already an app there and all you would need is your account to sign in. This tv has ALOT of installed apps. Thanks for watching.
Can you use air antenna?
Hey there. Yes but im not exactly sure how because I don’t use an antenna. But im sure that on here you’ll find an example of how. Hope this helps and thanks for the comment.
Hello thank you very much!
Keep that beautiful smile 😉
@@brandonmesser2141 thank you so much. Well do!!
Does anyone know why, when playing a game on my Vizio smart TV, everything becomes incredibly sharp if I'm using a static menu or not changing the camera angle or moving around? But the sharpness disappears when I start moving around in the game or scrolling through the menu? Then all the sharpness returns a second after the motion stops and bothers my eyes..
Hello there. I’m not sure about this issue I haven’t played a game on here. The only thing I can think of is if you go to your tv settings and go to picture and change the picture mode. I know there is a game mode on there but see what you like and change it to your liking. Hope this helps.
Can I use my Roku on this tv? I use Roku now not cable boxes
Hello Judy yes you can. This tv has 2 HDMI ports so using a roku should work. Thanks for watching.
Can u add the app on more then one cell phone?
Hello Arkita I believe you can. I say give it a try but I think you’ll be good. Thanks for watching.
Hows the tv NOW?
Now it’s still good. I did a year update if you want to check it out here on my channel. Thanks for watching
Does anyone know if this can run a soundbar and tv speakers at same time ?
Hey there. I’m not sure but I know you can use a sound bar but I believe that bar would be the main source of sound. Hope this helps and if you find anything about this topic please feel free to come back and share. Thanks for watching
Can a Nintendo Switch be connected to that Vizio D series?
Hey there. Yes. It has 2 hdmi ports
@@ShantalRhodes cool. Thank you!
No problem. Thanks for watching
I format my own tv shows and movies in mp4 and stream them from my external hard drive that’s connected to my Samsung Q60B QLED 55 inch TV. It’s like having my own personal Netflix. 😂
Hey there wow i haven’t thought of that. Lol it really is. Thanks for the comment
@@ShantalRhodes I use a hard drive, but you can also use a USB stick.
That’s so interesting again wouldn’t have thought of it. Thank you good to keep in mind.
Thanks for sharing!
Hey. Thanks for watching!!
Does this have hdmi 2.1? Just curious
Hey there so I looked it up and it said there's a HDMI 2.1 port with variable refresh rate, but the panel maxes out at 60Hz. I hope this helps have a good one.
@@ShantalRhodes ok
Had you had any issues with this TV?
Hello there. Weather related (like the power goes out) or the internet isn’t working yes but not often. Rarely does the tv freeze but when it does you simply unplug wait and Re plug. But overall not many. Thanks for stopping by.
No problem
Interesting tv!
Yes it is. Thanks for watching!!
Can I physically turn off tv without remote?
Hey there. There are 4 buttons on the bottom right side. The power, volume and input. There’s also a Vizio app you can use on your phone and tablet called Visio mobile. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.
Is your tv still working?
Hello there. Yes the tv is still working.
@@ShantalRhodes great, I will buy it for mi parents
@@jojoaco8233 that’s so nice. they will enjoy it. Thanks for watching.
The most annoying thing is you cannot add a new app on smartcast. You have to reinstall it every time to get to it. Since I am using Tablo as a dvr/live tv this is a real pain.
Hello. Thanks for stopping by. I haven’t really mess with SmartCast that much now. It’s just easier to connect through my phone or iPad. I’m sorry that your going through that. Thanks for watching again and hope your day is going well.
@@ShantalRhodes I just purchased the 24 inch d series an I live in my van so internet is out of the question all I gave is my android phone I cant get past the part where it ssys choose a wifi I had a 32 in Samsung' mp5 monitor I had in my other van an hate myself for letting it go wth the van it was judt a ine button touch an it was linked to my phone I .used what's called smart view in the tool bar on my phone when u pull down from the top of ur phone screen so I'm not very computer savvy can you please please please help me with whst I'm doing wrong
Hello Loyd. Wow okay this is a little different situation but maybe your phone isn’t a strong source for WiFi. I would recommend finding a portable Wi-Fi device. I know on TH-cam you will be able to find someone in your same situation especially the van community on there. I’m sorry I can’t be of better help but I hope this helps.
All you got to do is get a Roku box and you can get any apps you want. I have a Vizio tv and had to do this
@@celmart0413 thanks for the help and watching.
You are great but I got this TV and think I got a bad draw. Turns itself off constantly. Won’t cast consistently. Turns ON on its own. Lol literally insane. I msg’d Vizio to see if they can make this right. Mine is legit possessed.
Hey there. Sorry to hear this. I would be a little freaked out if mine did this lol. But if I can ask When it turns itself off does it go to the SmartCast section? If so I believe it’s a timer and you can turn it off in the settings ( I think it’s the energy saving on). The cast I know for mine it depends how strong of a connection I have. Let me know what response you get. Thanks for watching.
Can i Mirror my Android Cell phone to the Tv and can I use bluetooth headphones?
Hello Clifford. As long as you have chromecast it works. For the Bluetooth headphones I don’t see and option on this tv. It maybe in another model. Hope this helps thanks for watching.
Any firmware update issues for you?
Hey there. Not really. it updates on its own and when it’s finished it tells you. The tv works fine. Thanks for watching.
@@ShantalRhodes mine won’t update firmware. Vizio is sending a flash drive for me try try to install manually.
Oh wow. I ain’t ever heard of that. If you don’t mind me asking did they send it to you for free?
@@ShantalRhodes as far as I know yes. I worked with several different techs and no one could help me.
I tried putting them on my flash drive first… I didn’t work.
Wow I’m sorry your going through this. I wish I knew how to help. If you can please keep me posted on here so if anyone else goes through this they can see it here.
I hope it works this time.
Is it wireless?
Hey there. The TV is not wireless. Hope this helps
I can’t set my picture quality I need help asap
Hey Simone. If you are using a cable box or any other box you have to use a HDMI cord. I use a Phillips and there a good price at target or Walmart. Also when you go to settings and go to picture you can see other options there that might help. Let me know if it’s fixed and you can also check support.vizio.com as well.
Does it have a web browser
Hello. No this tv doesn’t have web browsing.
@@ShantalRhodes ok thanks, have a Roku which doesn't so I may have to get an Android tv.
Oh I’m not sure with the Roku system. If it’s like a fire stick it has 2 hdmi ports so you can use it that way. Good luck, thanks for watching and happy holidays.
I got Vizio 32" D series 720p HD TV
My last TV was a 32" Hisense TV had burning plastic smell
Hey there. No way!! My old Westinghouse didn’t have a smell but I could tell that it was showing it’s age. Have you been enjoying it?
Looked at 4k Visio today, but bought 1080 screen because it didn't hurt my eyes 🥺
Hey Terrie. Yes that 4k is bright but 1080p is just as beautiful. Enjoy and thanks for watching
I accidentally got on antenna 2 and can’t get a signal. Anyone, help!?
Hello there. Please make sure that you are in the right input. When you push the input button the remote it’ll give you options. If there is still no change it might be your service. I hope this helps.
You whispered Alexa… how awesome is that?
Hey there. I didn’t want to set her off lol. Thanks for watching.
@@ShantalRhodes By the way, I took your advice and bought this TV. Good job!
Oh cool. Thank you and enjoy the tv. Please let me know how’s it going. Have a good night.
Is this 4k
Hello. No it’s 1080p. Hope this helps
Do I have to create a Vizio account for this TV to work? Also going to be setting up a second Xbox to it do you think it will work fine for that? Mine is coming tomorrow from Walmart. Great review, I always buy things then search TH-cam lol I need to stop doing that and watch reviews first.
Hello there. Yes you have to make an account and the Xbox will work just fine as long as it’s hdmi compatible. Thanks for watching and lol yes research first if you can
HBO max lags so bad on this tv. I just got it yesterday and I’m freaking out cause i threw the box out 😭 would have returned it.
Hey Genesis. I’ve experience this as well. When I looked it up it said re-buffering caused by internet connection. I’ll exit out the app, wait a few seconds and try it again. Like I said I don’t have the best internet and I use chrome cast or airplay more then using the app on SmartCast (the app on the Tv). Vizio added HBO not to long ago so it might be on their part. I hope this helps and let me know if you need help.
I connect my tv threw my hotspot on my phone since I am up on a mountain.. got good cell signal but no cable or dsl here .. I dont have any lag.. you might run a speed test on your connection.. it could be that is the problem.. interferance from other things in your home might be causing your lag as well.. try moving the tv to a different location in the room...

Hey. Thanks for this Chuck. I didn’t know about Wi-Fi extenders. Definitely will keep this in mind. Thanks for watching and hope all is well.
You don’t need 4k unless you have a ginormous screen, seriously.
Hey there. True I’m happy with 1080p. Thanks for watching
We were very disappointed to find out that Vizio does not have a web browser.
Hello Norman. Sorry to hear that. Maybe in the newer versions they support web browsing. Thank you so much for watching and I hope you have good day.
You're cute!
Thank you and thanks for watching.
😂 that’s what she said
This is not a review because you've never reviewed nor mentioned anything the picture quality of the TV. All you talked about was the apps! That's not a review of a TV because TVs has more to review than the apps. People are more interested in the picture quality. Consumers really doesn't care about the apps because, they buy TVs for the picture quality.
Hey there. I did mention other things than apps and did my best trying to get as much info I can out. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.
You are so funny. I don't think it's the internet but it's probably the processor and internals of the TV that's why it's better to save up and after research get one with good internals like L G or Samsung.
Hey there. Yes research I know now lol. But it’s still going strong so I can’t really complain. Thanks for watching
YOU NEED FIBER INTERNET...IN JAMAICA
Hey. Yeah fiber is making its way here in the states. Need to do more research on it. Thanks for watching.

@@ShantalRhodes yea its so bad I don't even wanna use the TV loll

Smartcast is overrated.
Thanks for watching
haha you don't have 4K money ? 🤣
No sir haha thanks for watching
