Smart TV For Bedrooms
Despite its low cost, the VIZIO Smart TV doesn’t skimp on features or performance: It has a 40-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) display so you will get clear, high-definition images and it will be ideal for bedrooms, small living rooms, or even as a secondary gaming or streaming TV. The TV features a Full Array LED backlighting for a uniform illumination and vibrant colors across the entire screen. It is HDR10 and HLG high dynamic range enabled which releases more detail in light and dark imagery and makes your movies, TV programs, and games look more real.
Driven by Vizio’s pretty good SmartCast platform, it gives instant access to all the major streaming apps, including Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, Prime Video and Apple TV+. Navigation is responsive and fluid thanks to the recent software updates that have optimized performance and simplicity. With built-in Chromecast and Apple AirPlay 2, you can project content directly from your phone, tablet, or laptop, making sharing photos, videos, or even screen mirroring a snap. The TV is also Alexa and Google Assistant voice remote control compatible.
Gamers will appreciate the V-Gaming Engine which enhances contrast and color for better gaming and keeps input lag under 10ms at 1080p/60Hz. Two HDMI 1.4 inputs are included to connect consoles or streaming devices, a USB input for media playback, and digital audio output to connect soundbars or home theater systems.
If you’re looking for a solid, high-feature smart TV at a price that’s hard to beat, this VIZIO model is one of the best deals you’ll get on Amazon.
