VIZIO 32-inch D-Series Full HD 1080p Smart TV with Apple AirPlay and Chromecast Built-in, Alexa Compatibility, D32fM-K01, 2023 Model

These features at this price, we are at a very good point for technology. Great picture, decent sound (when Volume Leveling is enabled in the sound settings). And, it actually IS an HDR TV! (However), i tried multiple things to enable HDR on my PC, adding a registry setting to enable HDR, something that can happen when upgrading to Win10, look it up for more info. Going through the TVs settings. Nothing seemed to work.. but then i had a thought, try a different HDMI cable. DING DING! Even though i was using a Vizio branded HDMI cable which should have allowed HDR, switching cables immediately allowed HDR to be selectable. If you have trouble with HDR your HDMI cable may be the cause. (HDR works with the Vizio branded HDMI btw after initially being enabled by switching cables) Regarding picture and HDR. Firstly, you SHOULD lower the Backlight to at least 50%, between 50 and 75% will do. Mostly because its way too bright, but also because lowering it will lengthen the lifespan of the LEDs compared to always being at 100%. And yes, BACKLIGHT, Not the Normal Brightness, that should be left alone and kept at 50, so only lower the Backlight. Secondly, HDR. When its turned on using a PC things can get EXTREMELYYYY BRIGHTTTT! Especially White! As my 1st experience with HDR i had no idea what to expect, So you will definitely want to lower its effect either through Windows HDR settings or through the TVs specific HDR setting, which i suggest doing. Games look AMAZING on this TV (picture settings should be changed to suit your needs), but everything looks great including Netflix etc. But games along with HDR and the TVs Game Mode and Low Latency mode is where it truly shines i think. And thats about it.. The only thing i dont like about this TV is it doesnt have an ethernet port, but WIFI 5 does just fine, but being able to use 1 or the other as a backup would have been nice.. Obviously a decent Router/Connection will help with this. Last Update: Regarding what i said about Sound still applies WITH Sound Leveling enabled, BUT as the TV allows connecting to Bluetooth Headphones AND Speakers that is the definitive way to go if you require better sound quality. The headphone jack also allows you to use an Aux cable with a bluetooth speaker which i highly recommend, WIRED audio quality will ALWAYS be better than Wireless/Bluetooth and its actually what i use when i gave both a try. Another Last update: Alexa usage, I grouped the TV with my office lighting so that when i say office on both the tv and the light turn on, same for saying office off, when im going out or going to bed they both turn off at the same time. I find this very handy instead of having to use the remote to do so, especially if in a hurry. And a bit of advice that EVERYONE can use whether buying this tv or not. As with most electronics it is BEST and recommended to use a decent Surge Protector to protect your electronics. Protecting our expensive toys is always a good thing to do. Another Update: Power usage, Normal PC/Built in Smart App usage you are looking at about 20watts, with the TV off (depending on settings, i.e Alexa control enabled etc, its around 10watts, you can turn those settings off to further reduce draw while Off if you so choose. So its very capable when it comes to using it with backup power or even a 150w Inverter and a 20V battery (Craftsman) for example as i tested earlier to gauge power usage. Latest update: Now using a 120W 2.0 Sound Bar with an Optical cable connected to the TVs optical port, cant beat a $40 ONN Walmart sound bar on clearance for $17, bought 2 as i knew they would sell quickly :). Definitely better than using an Aux splitter to connect 2 Bluetooth speakers for "stereo" sound, though they did do the job very nicely. Anything is better than the TVs speakers though, but even the TVs speakers can sound decent if set up the way i previously mentioned, this probably applies to similar Vizio TVs as well assuming they have the same sound settings. Jul 10th 2024: Tomorrow (11th) will mark 1 Year of owning this TV, absolutely no issues, was definitely worth getting. Hard to believe its already been a year. My only issue as previously mentioned is it doesnt have an ethernet port, dont get me wrong, WIFI 5 is PLENTY, but it would have been nice to have a backup connection down the road, just in case. Quality Surge Protection or even a small $60 300watt UPS with it built in is a must have for our toys, keep your tech safe. With the correct setup VRR DOES Work on PC not just on consoles like i assumed, NVIDIA as well not just with AMD GPUs. One very last thing, the remote has a button lockout, lets say you sit on it for an extended period or gets lost under a cushion etc so on and a number of the buttons are being pressed during that time, to save battery it locks the buttons. So if you try to use the remote and it doesnt work and the batteries are not an issue that would likely be why, just remove a battery and put it back in and the remote will function again. This might apply for future Vizio TV remotes as well so something to consider before seeking tech support. Hope this helps <3

Thirds times a charm. I have ordered three tvs now from Amazon. The first wouldn't connect to the internet, the second had glitches in the screen, plus UPS charged me to send it back in the box it came in. Need to take that up with Amazon I guess. But this TV is really lovely. Very sleek looking and feels like quality. The TCL I tried felt like chinzy plastic crap. This Vizio was easy to set up and get my Prime Video hooked in no problem. Also worked using Chromecast from my PC and Apple Play from my phone. I wanted to be able to play exercise videos from my Silversneakers account. This is also the perfect size for my guesthouse. Plus it has a great picture. Sound could be louder. But I will try pairing my Sonos speaker with it. I am super pleased with this purchase.

I had my last Vizio TV for years and it was great. I Never had any problems with it whatsoever. In fact I probably still wouldn’t have needed to replace it if it wasnt for my accident prone husband. He was playing with our cat and flinging one of his stick/wand cat toys around and ended up smacking the center of the screen. It didn’t crack but ended up blowing out the pixels. I figured I would definitely replace it another Vizio. I got my 1st one for a Great price and it had amazing quality. So thats exactly what I did. I am not a Big Tv Buff… I don’t really now everything about all that or what makes one TV better then another. Since it was just a bedroom Tv I didn’t need anything insanely Big or with whole surround sound system. I just wanted something simple like my last Vizio was because Again I never had any issues with it or complaints about it from anyone else. This one had somewhat Better specs and was a decent price. The day it was delivered I was a bit apprehensive about how heavy it was going be. Not only do I have back problems & live on the 2nd floor but was home all by MYSELF that day. So I was ultimately shocked about how light this TV actually was. Light as a freaking feather. The only issue I had was the screws that came with the stand did not fit properly. But luckily I married someone with construction experience, so we have every sized screw known to man in this house. Once the stand was put on properly the set up was a Breeze. My roku set up was easy. The picture is Amazing. I was so Happy 😀 Unfortunately that Happiness only lasted a month and a half…. Out of nowhere the sound quality went from working perfectly fine to NOW in the middle of a show/movie they all start to sound like they’re are talking from inside a cave and gets all echoey. Sounds sorta like low feedback. It also switches from low volume to then obnoxiously loud. I don’t have any sound bars or surround sound system…so any issues are coming directly from the TV itself. Tried resetting it and that did Nothing. Now I’m just left totally disappointed by how crappy the quality of these TV are now. Also I am very embarrassed since Im the one that talked my Husband into buying another Vizio. I had such a Great Experience and a High Expectation of them. Only for the whole purchase to be a total let down. Plus I know Amazon probably won’t do anything to fix the situation since their return policy and customer service is absolutely horrible now. Hopefully if I reach out to the manufacturer they can help in some way. Praying 🙏🏻 I didn’t just throw away the little money I have (especially in this economy) down the drain when I purchased this TV. I’m on a fixed income so I don’t have money just to buy another TV….. I barely had money for this one. My bedroom TV is my only sanctuary away from all the chaos in this world …. Please Amazon or Vizio plead fix this Problem so I can get some Peace.

Exceptional picture! Better than Vizio’s other 32”. Great for someone like me who is a bit older. Note that I couldn’t find this model on Vizio’s website. It’s worth the $20 or so. Highly recommended!

Easy set up
