Our review model featured Vudu, Xumo, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Redbox, and Vizio's own "Watch Free" channel. Vizio also seems to have doubled down on the sponsored shortcut buttons, with seven services given premium placement at the top of the remote. It is not a voice remote, however, which means it's particularly tedious to search for content on YouTube as you have to punch each letter in using the on-screen keyboard and arrow keys on the remote. It's bigger than some of Samsung's remotes and is about one and a half times the size of a Roku remote, but it is much smaller than some of Sony's behemoths. Vizio's included remote is rather nondescript, which could be seen as a good thing – I have a few remotes that feel either too large or two heavy for what they are designed to do. The back also houses two 15-watt rear-firing speakers, which we'll cover in the audio section. If you plan to own both a PlayStation 5 and an Xbox Series X, for example, you won't have to unplug one and plug the other in to enjoy maximum performance out of both. This is a solid number of connection options, and it's great to see two ports that support 4K at 120 frames per second.
You also get an optical port, composite (interesting to see, as this isn't a given anymore), leftright audio out, cable antennae, and ethernet inputs. Vizio split the four total HDMI ports into two locations: The two HDMI ports that support 4K at 120 frames per second are located on the right side, while a regular HDMI port and the eARC port – which is useful for connecting your audio equipment – face downwards also on the right side. The grey Vizio logo is also understated and placed in the lower right hand corner, which is a plus. The outer bezel is thin and nondescript, with the thickest edge found on the bottom.
Luckily, the view you'll be seeing a majority of the time – the front – looks pretty good. For a brand-new display, I was hoping for a bit thinner of a casing, but we probably should expect the cost savings of this television to make themselves known somewhere, right? Viewed from the side, it's not the most attractive television.
