The TV comes with a voice remote and the TV can be controlled with Apple Home, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa or the Vizio app.

It's been awhile since CNET has reviewed a Vizio TV, but the company's models previously married excellent picture quality with affordable pricing, so I'm hoping to get ahold of one of the Mini LED Quantum Series models for testing.
