Vizio VFD40M-08
Score: 90/100Rankings
The VIZIO VFD40M-08 delivers a premium-looking Full Array LED panel with HDR and advanced pixel tuning at a budget price, complemented by DTS Virtual:X audio and Bluetooth headphone support. While its picture and sound stand out, the lack of Ethernet, ARC and a 4K panel keep it from competing in higher-end segments.
The VIZIO D24fM-K01 is a compact 24-inch Full HD TV that packs a Full Array LED panel, ATSC 3.0 tuner and AMD FreeSync for gaming, making it ideal for small spaces. Its picture is clear but speaker output is weak and the SmartCast UI can feel slow.

Professional reviewers commend the D24fM-K01 for its budget-friendly size, solid 1080p performance and the upgrade to a Full Array LED panel. They note the strong sRGB coverage and the addition of AMD FreeSync and WatchFree+ as meaningful improvements over earlier models. However, they criticize the modest speaker output, borderline color accuracy and occasional SmartCast lag, and they point out the limited HDMI connectivity as a practical shortcoming.
Everyday users overwhelmingly value the TV's compact footprint, clear 1080p picture and the convenience of Bluetooth headphones and free streaming channels. Praise centers on its ease of setup and suitability for secondary spaces. Recurring complaints focus on thin audio, sluggish UI, narrow viewing angles and intrusive ads.
Professional reviewers commend the VFD40M-08 for its unexpected Full Array LED backlight and Active Pixel Tuning, which give it picture quality that rivals higher-priced models. They also note the surprisingly effective DTS Virtual:X audio. However, they criticize the absence of Ethernet, ARC, and a higher refresh rate, saying the TV is best for budget-conscious buyers who prioritize image quality over 4K or advanced gaming features.
Everyday users love the clear picture, reliable Bluetooth headphone support, and the free WatchFree+ channels. The most common complaints revolve around occasional app freezes, a sluggish VIZIO OS, and Wi-Fi stability issues, with a few users mentioning a basic remote and weak built-in bass.
