Vizio tv
Vizio is a brand of electronics that is owned by the Chinese company LeEco. Vizio was founded in 2002, and it’s based in Irvine, California. The company designs and sells consumer electronics, including televisions, sound bars, and laptop computers.
In 2017 Vizio overtook Samsung to become the largest seller of LCD televisions in North America with 24% of unit sales over the year before (to be clear: this does not mean that 24% of households own a Vizio television).

How to Turn on Vizio Smart TV Without Remote By Using External Devices

- Use the SmartCast app or mobile app (depending on whether you have an Android phone or an iPhone), which lets you change channels, adjust volume levels, mute audio output and control other aspects of your television set from anywhere in the room where it’s located by simply speaking into an external device such as a microphone headset connected via Bluetooth technology.
FAQS
How do I turn on my Vizio TV?
The first step to getting your Vizio TV ready to watch is turning it on. Press the power button located at the top of your remote, or locate the main power switch for your television set itself. This may be located on the back of the set (if so, you will have to reach behind and find it), or along one side of your television console.

Conclusion
A remote is an essential part of any TV set. It makes it possible to turn on and off the device, change channels, adjust volume, and perform other functions without having to use a keyboard or mouse. However, not all TVs come with remotes and some people may not want one in their home as they find them cumbersome. Thankfully, you can still turn on your Vizio TV without a remote if you have another device that can control it via a WiFi connection such as an Android tablet or phone.
