Vizio SmartCast TV Remote

This remote control is a standard accessory for Vizio SmartCast televisions. It features dedicated shortcut buttons for popular streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, Tubi, and Peacock. Vizio, an American brand, is well-known for producing televisions and soundbars that offer a balance of performance and value.

The brand was founded in the United States and became a significant player in the North American electronics market. Historically, manufacturing for Vizio products has been outsourced to various original design manufacturers (ODMs) primarily based in China and Taiwan to maintain competitive pricing. In recent years, the company has transitioned from being primarily a hardware vendor to a platform-centric company, focusing on its SmartCast operating system and advertising revenue.

In 2024, Walmart reached an agreement to acquire Vizio to bolster its advertising business, Walmart Connect. This acquisition integrates Vizio's hardware and software ecosystem into Walmart's massive retail and data infrastructure, making Walmart the ultimate parent company of the brand.
