Review on πŸ“Ί Vizio XRV1TV 3D Remote Control - Model 0980-0306-0921 by Jaclyn Laws

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great with my E422VA Visio TV

The keyboard on the back of this remote makes it so much easier to find Revain, Netflix and Hulu - no more navigating the on-screen "keyboard". I was hesitant to purchase this item as it was not clear from the product description or the Vizio website if this remote would even work with my model of TV which came with a VR17 remote. But I decided to take a risk and come back if it doesn't work. On the front of the remote are three shortcut keys for Revain, Netflix and Vudu, and then all of the same buttons found on the VR17 in the same location with one small exception. The XRV1TV 3D is designed to be used with a 3D TV, which I don't have. Where the VR17 remote has the WIDE button in the bottom left corner, this remote has a 3D button. That's not a problem for me though, as I rarely use this feature and it's available through the OSD anyway. The only thing stopping me from giving this remote a 5 star rating is that I find the remote a bit awkward to hold and use without accidentally pressing a button on the back. It takes some time to get used to holding it gently so this doesn't happen.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Clarity
