Where Is The Power Button On My Vizio TV? (Detailed Guide)

If you bought a Vizio TV in the last few years, you may have noticed that it lacks an easily visible, clearly labeled power button. If you misplace your TV remote, you will become extremely frustrated in your search for it!

With this guide, we listed ways that will help you in finding the power buton on your Vizio TV. Stay tuned and continue reading for more knowledge.

WHERE IS THE POWER BUTTON ON MY VIZIO TV?

When you are facing your Vizio TV, the power button is located on the lower, right back side of the TV, beneath the HDMI ports.

The power button on older Vizio TVs is located on the left side of the bezel or on the front, bottom left corner of the bezel. Every Vizio TV has a manual power control button on the TV itself; all you have to do is find it!

HOW TO FIND THE POWER BUTTON ON DIFFERENT VIZIO TVS?

1. Vizio TVs Made before 2015

Before the “slim, highly aesthetic” TV trend took hold, power buttons on televisions were much easier to locate. If your Vizio TV is more than a few years old, the power button will most likely be located in one of two locations:

1. On the front of the frame (called a bezel), usually in the bottom left corner, facing the TV screen.
2. On the left side of the bezel, facing the TV screen

The buttons on older Vizio televisions are very visible – and if you can’t see them, you can find them quickly by feeling around the bezel with your fingers. They’ll be easy to detect because older Vizio TV designs made little effort to conceal them.

2. Vizio TVs Made 2015-Present

Newer Vizio TV models have buttons that are very small, difficult to find, and difficult to use. I strongly advise you to replace your lost or broken remote rather than attempting to use these buttons on a regular basis.

That being said, if you need to find the power button on your Vizio TV, here’s how.

1. Face your television.
2. Place your hand in the lower right corner.
3. Move your hand around to the back of the TV, just beneath the HDMI input ports.
4. The power button should be right next to it.

If you’ve got your TV mounted against a wall or otherwise tucked into a tight spot, the above method is far simpler than moving your TV around and craning your neck to try and see the buttons with your eyes.

VIZIO TV POWER BUTTON LAYOUT

So, you’ve used your fingers to find the buttons on your Vizio TV – but what are they, and what do they do?

If you can see behind your TV, you might be able to make out the faint markings on each button. There are usually three buttons in total, and each one serves a different purpose:

• The top button is the power button for the Vizio TV.
• The middle button controls the volume.
• The bottom button allows you to change the input source of the TV.

As you can see, the buttons on a Vizio TV aren’t exactly intended to be used constantly. They’re useful if you lose your remote, but you don’t want to be reliant on them all the time.

LOST YOUR VIZIO TV REMOTE? HERE ARE THE 4 BEST REPLACEMENTS

Using the buttons on your Vizio TV will quickly become tedious. Here are some excellent Vizio Smart TV remote replacement options:

1. Universal Smart Remote for Vizio (Older Generation)

This is the remote for your TV if it was manufactured prior to 2018. It was first sold in 2016, so it will work with virtually any Vizio TV manufactured between 2012 and 2018.

(If you’re unsure, consult the compatibility list in the product description.) It’s inexpensive, will arrive quickly, and is compatible with more than 95 percent of Vizio TVs – even brand new ones!

2. XRT136 Vizio TV Remote

This remote is a direct replacement for many Vizio 4K Smart TVs, and it is compatible with all of them. It’s stylish, affordable, and will last for many years. In fact, because it’s so inexpensive, it might be worth ordering one as a backup in case you misplace or break your TV’s factory remote!

3. Replacement XRT020 Vizio TV Remote Control

This remote is compatible with older Vizio smart TVs (think 5-7 years old). If you have one of these older models, new remote replacements are unlikely to function properly with your TV – this is the best option for you.

It will be able to control your TV without becoming confused while attempting to interpret signals for buttons that the TV is unable to read.

Because modern replacement remotes have more buttons, older TVs are unlikely to be able to accurately interpret the signals.

4. VR15 Remote Control for Vizio E-Series Televisions

This is the best replacement remote for your Vizio smart TV if the model number starts with “E.” Even though it looks slightly different, it is intended to be a 1:1 replacement for your remote. If your E-series TV’s remote is broken or missing, pick up this replacement and get back to streaming in style!

CONCLUSION

It’s simple to locate the power button on your Vizio TV if you know where to look. Examine the back of the TV, just below the HDMI and input ports. If you don’t want to use those buttons all the time (trust me, you don’t! ), I recommend getting one of those replacement remotes I mentioned earlier.
