Our take on the VIZIO V-Series V435-J01 43" 4K UHD SmartCast TV

The VIZIO V-Series V435-J01 is a 43-inch 4K LED TV with HDR support, three HDMI ports and VIZIO's SmartCast platform for streaming apps. It is a budget-focused set that covers the basics: 4K resolution, HDR playback and built-in streaming, without the brighter panel or higher refresh rate of step-up models. It suits bedrooms, small living rooms and secondary rooms where a compact 4K screen matters more than peak brightness. Against rivals like the TCL S-Class and Hisense A-series, it competes on smart features and connectivity rather than picture quality, and owners often note its sound and black levels are modest.

Questions and answers

Is this TV good for a bedroom?

Yes. The 43-inch screen suits bedrooms and small rooms, and the built-in apps mean no extra streaming device is needed.

Does it support HDR?

Yes, it supports HDR playback, though its brightness and contrast are modest, so the HDR benefit is limited compared with brighter sets.

How many HDMI ports does it have?

It has three HDMI ports, plus an optical audio output and Ethernet for a wired network connection.

Do I need a streaming stick?

No. SmartCast includes major streaming apps, so a stick is optional unless you want a faster interface.

Is the refresh rate good for gaming?

It is a 60Hz panel, which is fine for casual gaming but not for high-frame-rate play.

Does it come with a stand?

It ships with its tabletop stand, and it can also be wall-mounted with a compatible bracket.
