Just bought a Vizio smart TV - 55 inch. Model V555-J01. This POS has a simple remote with virtually no command buttons.
Everything is apparently on ROM in the TV. There is not even a pause button on the remote. Most5 commands are activated by drilling down through multiple layers.
Are there remotes available for Vizio TVs that have a full selection of the simplest commands on the remote. I am afraid that this bastard is planning to send me to the insane asylum.
No manual included in the box. The manual is on the screen in text so small that I need eyes like a GD eagle.
I realize that everything these days is designed for 14 year olds or younger and I am just venting. Sometimes I feel like shooting the SOB with my 45 long colt.

The picture was decent, and the price was under $ 500.00 bucks. I looked at many different brands, but needed a TV with (4) HDMI Ports. Cable Box, Nvidia Shield, Streaming Box, Windows 10 Desktop PC, and a DVD Player. Vizio was the only one, I could find, that had four.
Then, periodically, the HDMI ports started acting up. If I was watching TV, and switched over to Stream a movie, the port wouldn't work, until I pulled the wire out, of the back of the TV, and plugged it back in.
This problem affected 3 of the 4 HDMI Ports. At this point, I should have taken it back. Being that it was too heavy, and a pain in the ass, to return it, I put up with it. A month, after the warranty ran out, I turned it on, one morning, and the picture was all
To FS560; my original Remote, had many more feature's, than my new remote. If you go to ebay, you will see them. Most are under $ 10.00.
