Best Vizio TVs

TL;DR: The Vizio VFD32M-0807 delivers a bright Full Array LED 1080p picture, 16 W RMS DTS Virtual:X sound, and a full smart suite for just $109.99, making it a solid budget pick for small‑room viewing.

This 32‑inch model (actual 31.5‑inch display) uses a Full Array LED backlight and supports HDR10, giving you a crisp 1920 × 1080 picture with a 178° viewing angle. The built‑in DTS Virtual:X system pushes 16 W RMS, which reviewers say sounds richer than you’d expect from a TV of this size.

Compared with the other four contenders, the VFD32M-0807 is heavier than the D24f‑J09 (6.07 lb) but far lighter than the flagship VQP75C‑84 (nearly 60 lb). It matches the D24fM‑K01 and VFD40M‑08 with two HDMI 1.4 inputs, though the VFD40M‑08 adds an HDMI 2.1 port that the VFD32M‑0807 lacks. Speaker power sits at 16 W RMS, outpacing the D24fM‑K01’s 4 W total but just shy of the D24f‑J09’s 18 W. All models include an Ethernet port, but only the VFD32M‑0807 bundles Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless headphones.

Everyday users praise the TV’s sharp picture and the surprise of solid built‑in audio, often calling it perfect for bedrooms, dorms, or a kitchen corner. Professional reviewers highlight the inclusion of both Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Chromecast as a differentiator in this price range. The most common complaints revolve around the limited app selection, occasional Bluetooth pairing hiccups after a restart, and a remote that feels cheap and lacks backlighting. In practice, the dual‑band Wi‑Fi 5 connection keeps streaming smooth, while Auto Low Latency Mode and Variable Refresh Rate help keep gaming responsive.

Best for: Shoppers on a tight budget who want the most for their money

Avoid if: You need advanced features or professional‑grade performance

TL;DR: The Vizio VFD40M-08 packs a 40‑inch Full Array LED panel, Active Pixel Tuning and DTS Virtual:X sound into a $138 package, making it a solid mid‑range choice for picture‑focused renters.

What really sets this TV apart is the Full Array LED backlight paired with Active Pixel Tuning, both listed in the spec sheet. At 40 inches (1016 mm) the screen delivers Full HD 1920 × 1080 resolution with HDR10 and HLG support, while the 12.3‑pound chassis stays manageable for wall‑mounting. The dual 9 W speakers powered by DTS Virtual:X add a surprising level of immersion for a TV this size, and the built‑in Wi‑Fi (802.11ac) and Bluetooth 5.0 let you stream to headphones or smart speakers without extra adapters.

Compared with the other four Vizio models in this roundup, the VFD40M‑08 is heavier than the 24‑inch D24f‑J09 (6.07 lb) and D24fM‑K01 (9.78 lb), and also heavier than the 32‑inch VFD32M‑0807, which lists a weight of 3870 g. It is far lighter than the flagship VQP75C‑84 (59.81 lb). In depth, the VFD40M‑08’s 8.81 inches with stand sits behind the D24f‑J09’s 6.22 inches and the D24fM‑K01’s 6.3 inches, but it’s shallower than the VQP75C‑84’s 13.44 inches. HDMI-wise, it offers two inputs—one HDMI 1.4 and one HDMI 2.1—matching the D24f‑J09 and D24fM‑K01 in port count but adding a newer HDMI 2.1 side that the VFD32M‑0807 lacks. The only model with more HDMI ports is the VQP75C‑84’s four inputs.

Users consistently praise the clear picture and the ease of pairing Bluetooth headphones, noting that the WatchFree+ app provides a handy free channel lineup. Professional reviewers highlight the Full Array LED panel and Active Pixel Tuning as “rare at this price” and credit DTS Virtual:X for delivering room‑filling audio without a soundbar. The most common complaints revolve around occasional Wi‑Fi drops, the lack of an Ethernet port, and a VIZIO OS that feels slower than rival smart platforms.

Best for: Students, renters, or anyone needing a compact secondary TV with strong picture performance and built‑in smart features.

Avoid if: You prioritize home‑theater connectivity (Ethernet, ARC) or need a high‑refresh‑rate 4K panel for competitive gaming.

TL;DR: The Vizio D24f-J09 delivers crisp 1080p Full Array picture and robust SmartCast features for $145.54, making it a compact yet capable TV for small‑space living.

The standout spec is the Full Array LED backlight paired with a 23.54‑inch Full HD (1920 × 1080) panel, a rarity in sub‑30‑inch TVs. At a list price of $145.54 and a weight of just 6.07 lb, it offers a premium‑looking display without the bulk of larger models.

Compared with its Vizio siblings, the D24f-J09 is noticeably lighter than the VFD40M-08 (12.3 lb) and the VFD32M-0807 (13.0 lb). Its stand‑back depth of 6.22 inches is slimmer than the VFD40M-08’s 8.81 inches but a touch shallower than the D24fM‑K01’s 6.3 inches. While the high‑end VQP75C‑84 packs four HDMI ports, the D24f‑J09 provides two HDMI connections, matching the VFD40M‑08 and D24fM‑K01 but fewer than the flagship model.

Users consistently praise the sharp 1080p picture and the convenience of built‑in streaming apps, noting that the Full Array backlight improves uniformity over edge‑lit rivals. Professional reviewers highlight this uniformity as a key advantage. On the flip side, many mention the modest 9 W per‑channel speakers and a remote that feels cheap and lacks backlighting. Some also report occasional slow app loading and a yellow tint in bright scenes.

Beyond picture quality, the TV runs Vizio’s IQ Picture Processor and offers gaming‑focused features such as Auto Game Mode, Variable Refresh Rate with AMD FreeSync, and low input lag. The SmartCast platform bundles AirPlay 2, Chromecast built‑in, Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility, plus access to 260+ free channels and 6,000+ on‑demand titles.

Best for: Small‑space viewing such as kitchens, dorm rooms, bedrooms or home offices where a crisp picture and smart features matter.

Avoid if: You need high‑end audio performance, a backlit remote, or more than two HDMI inputs.

TL;DR: The Vizio VQP75C-84 packs a 75‑inch QLED panel, 1000‑nit peak brightness and low 14.3 ms input lag into a feature‑rich SmartCast TV for $949.95.

This 75‑inch Quantum Pro TV stands out with a full‑array LED backlight that delivers up to 1000 nits of peak brightness and a QLED panel covering nearly full DCI‑P3 color gamut with over 1 billion colors. The 120 Hz native refresh rate (240 Hz at 1080p) and HDMI 3’s 4K @ 120 Hz with VRR make it a solid choice for high‑frame‑rate gaming, while the 14.3 ms input lag keeps controls responsive.

Compared with the other Vizio models in this roundup, the VQP75C‑84 is far larger and heavier than the D24f‑J09 (which weighs just 6.07 lb) and the VFD40M‑08 (12.3 lb). It also offers more connectivity: four HDMI 2.1 ports versus two on the D24f‑J09 and VFD40M‑08, plus a dedicated Ethernet port, Wi‑Fi 6E and Bluetooth audio. Its dual 10‑watt digital amplifiers (20 W total) edge out the 18 W total on the D24f‑J09 and the dual 9 W speakers on the VFD40M‑08, though users still note the built‑in audio can feel thin.

Professional reviewers praise the TV’s vibrant color volume and bright‑room performance, calling the picture “solid” and the HDR handling “good”. Everyday owners echo the sentiment, highlighting the anti‑glare coating and smooth 120 Hz gaming, but many mention blooming around bright objects due to the large local‑dimming zones and occasional black‑screen glitches. Audio dropouts and low volume are recurring complaints, which aligns with the modest 20 W speaker output.

Under the hood sits Vizio’s IQ Ultra+ processor, handling up‑scaling and SmartCast OS features like automatic Wi‑Fi updates, 260 live channels and 6,000+ on‑demand titles via WatchFree+. The remote (XRT270) adds voice control, and Dolby Atmos passthrough is supported via HDMI ARC. The anti‑reflective coating and wide viewing angles round out a well‑equipped large‑screen experience.

Best for: Those prioritizing quality and willing to pay for premium performance

Avoid if: You're shopping on a tight budget — it's priced at $949.95

TL;DR: The Vizio D24f‑M‑K01 delivers Full HD picture, Full Array LED backlight and SmartCast features at $119.95, but its 2 W speakers and limited HDMI ports may limit gaming and audio enthusiasts.

The Vizio D24f‑M‑K01 packs a 24‑inch Full HD panel that uses a Full Array LED backlight with Active Pixel Tuning, delivering uniform brightness measured at 162 nits. Color performance hits 97.9 % of the sRGB gamut and a Delta‑E of 3.1, which professional reviewers highlight as a strong point for a budget TV. Input lag sits around 24 ms, and the 60 Hz refresh rate keeps motion smooth enough for casual gaming, especially with AMD FreeSync support. All of this comes for $119.95 and a 4.1‑star rating from 1,838 reviewers.

Compared with the other four models in this roundup, the D24f‑M‑K01 is far more compact than the 32‑inch VFD32M‑0807 and the 40‑inch VFD40M‑08, while weighing less than both at 9.78 lb. It shares a similar depth with the D24f‑J09 but is heavier than that 6.07‑lb sibling. Speaker output is modest at 2 W per channel, noticeably lower than the 9 W per channel found in the D24f‑J09 and the dual 9 W speakers of the VFD40M‑08. HDMI connectivity is limited to two ports, matching most peers but trailing the VQP75C‑84’s four.

Everyday users appreciate the TV’s thin bezel, easy setup and the convenience of built‑in Bluetooth headphone streaming, which many cite as a lifesaver for bedroom or dorm use. The built‑in ATSC 3.0 tuner adds free over‑the‑air channels, and the VIZIO SmartCast OS brings Netflix, YouTube and other apps straight to the screen. However, the community frequently mentions that the 2 W speakers lack bass and can distort at higher volumes, and the SmartCast UI sometimes feels sluggish when launching apps. Remote button reliability also shows up in a handful of complaints.

For gamers, the 24 ms input lag and FreeSync support make the D24f‑M‑K01 a decent choice for casual play, while the Full Array LED backlight helps keep dark scenes consistent. Energy consumption stays low, with only 0.5 W in standby and 25.75 W typical use, meeting ENERGY STAR standards. The TV also includes a single RJ‑45 Ethernet port, two HDMI ports (one ARC‑capable), a USB media port and dual‑band Wi‑Fi for flexible connectivity.

Best for: Entry‑level buyers or those on a tight budget

Avoid if: You need high‑fidelity audio, a primary living‑room TV, or 4K resolution
