Vizio has a bunch of TVs that offload almost all the "smart" stuff to an Android tablet, which is also your main remote. Some don't even come with the tablet (I think). They also comes with a small, very simple remote which I use.

The only smart stuff the TV has built in is Chromecast functionality.

I had one. Could not get setup to work. Buggy as heck. Returned it.

The one I had you could not setup the things I cared about with the small remote.


they are updating these tvs with apps because it wasnt received well. you get a popup that says "give us your address for a new remote" and they are sending a remote with more buttons so you can interact with the interface.
