You can hold the mic button and make commands such as “Disney+”, “YouTube TV”, and search for “Terminator movies”. Also, this time around there is voice controls to the remote. Also, the stream app buttons have been updated with Peacock, Disney+, Crackle and Tubi which replaced Redbox, Hulu, Vudu, and Xumo. They omitted the number keys and channel toggle button from the previous version They did remove the “pic” button which I liked for changing the TV formats though. Its smaller, more compact and features less buttons. With the 2021 series, Vizio has updated its remote control. They sound like your typical TV speakers aka a bit tinny and loud without much detail. There are TV controls on the back right side near the HDMI panel such as volume and power buttons and TV also has stereo speakers which I seldomly used. CEC Discovery recognizes all the devices with ease and TV has worked smooth when switching to the “soundbar” input to access the Series X. Luckily though the Vizio Soundbar has another HDMI port on it, so I have my Xbox Series X connected to that. Seeing how this TV only has three HDMI 2.1 ports I went ahead and connected my PS5, NVIDIA Shield, and Vizio soundbar. While this has one less port compared to the M-Series I like that Vizio put these on the side making them more accessible than on the rear bottom. While it doesn’t look sleek, it still feels nice and compact looking with the Vizio logo in the middle.Ĭonnection wise it has everything from RCA, Ethernet, USB, Optical, and (3) HDMI ports (with one supporting eARC). Seeing as this was a smaller TV, I was able to set up myself pretty much with just screwing the legs in and placing on my TV stand. Bezels are about 2cm thick while on the M-Series it is about 1cm thick. The V555-J01 is a 55” LED 4K panel that actually measures about 50in across and weights a little over 30lbs.

With additions such as a smart remote, thinner bezel, more support for 4K HDR, and even gaming how far apart are the two? Style This is their entry-level TVs that are just below their M-Series ones like the M65 we last covered. Besides the various Vizio soundbars we covered the summer they also refreshed their TV line and this time we are looking at their V-Series with the V555-J01 model.
