Our take on the Vizio VFD43M-0804 TV

The Vizio VFD43M-0804 is a 43-inch Vizio LED TV sold as a refurbished unit. It is a basic 1080p-class set aimed at a bedroom, kitchen, dorm or second room where a big screen and smart features are not needed. Against new budget TVs it gives up the latest smart platform and tuner features, but a refurbished Vizio panel covers the basics for casual viewing. Buyers should confirm the panel and ports work on arrival, since refurbished stock varies unit to unit.

Questions and answers

Is this TV new or refurbished?

It is a refurbished unit, not new. Expect a tested, previously used set rather than a sealed retail box.

What resolution is the VFD43M-0804?

It is a 1080p full HD set, not 4K. That is fine for casual viewing at typical bedroom distances but softer than 4K rivals up close.

Does it have smart apps built in?

It is an older Vizio model, so its built-in app selection is limited compared with current Vizio smart TVs. A streaming stick in an HDMI port covers the gap.

How many HDMI ports does it have?

It has a small set of HDMI inputs typical of a budget Vizio of this era. Check the back panel before planning a console, cable box and streaming stick together.

Should I buy this or a new budget TV?

A new budget TV gives you 4K, a current smart platform and a warranty. This refurbished set makes sense mainly as a low-cost second screen.

What should I check when it arrives?

Test the panel for dead pixels and backlight uniformity, confirm every HDMI port works, and check the stand and remote are included.
