Universal for VIZIO Smart TV Remote Control Replacement XRT136
Quick take
The OMAIC XRT136 is an infrared replacement remote built to work with a wide range of VIZIO Smart TV models, including many V-, M-, D-, E-, and P-series sets. It requires no complex setup, but real-world reliability seems inconsistent in review snippets, so it can be a good budget replacement or backup for basic navigation.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Broad compatibility with multiple VIZIO Smart TV model lines (including common XRT136-style replacements).
- No programming required, insert 2 AAA batteries to use.
- Infrared control with a reported range up to 40 ft and short-range responsiveness.
- Includes 6 shortcut buttons for quicker access to frequently used apps.
Cons
- Some buyers report partial non-functionality, including specific app shortcut buttons.
- Button wear and responsiveness can be an issue over time for some users, suggesting it may not feel as durable as an original remote.
- Only IR connectivity is supported, so it may not work if your TV’s remote functions require a different input type (for example, Bluetooth models).
What buyers think
Buyer-review evidence is mixed. Several snippets describe the remote as a workable replacement for controlling the TV and handling core functions, including setup that is straightforward. Other snippets report reliability problems such as buttons not responding properly, shortcut buttons not working, or a unit that underperforms right out of the box. Because these issues are not consistently detailed across all reviews, the overall pattern suggests fit can be good for basic remote control, but performance quality may vary from unit to unit.
What this remote is (and how it fits VIZIO TVs)
The XRT136 is designed to replace a lost or worn VIZIO remote by using infrared (IR) commands. If your VIZIO remote uses IR (most traditional VIZIO remotes do), this remote is meant to cover a long list of compatible models, including many in the V-series, M-series, D-series, E-series, and P/PX-series families.
It is also built around straightforward use: there’s no pairing process described here, just battery installation, then start using the remote right away.
Key features that matter day to day
Basic control, plus shortcut buttons
For convenience, the remote includes 6 shortcut buttons intended to launch apps quickly. This is helpful if you frequently switch between a few services and want faster access than scrolling through menus.
Infrared range and responsiveness
IR remotes depend on line of sight and TV sensor performance. This model is rated for up to 40 feet (about 12 meters) and is intended to provide responsive control from a typical living-room distance.
Battery type and setup
The remote uses 2 AAA batteries (not included). Setup is essentially install the batteries and use, which makes it an easy replacement when you want the TV usable quickly.
Compatibility checklist for shoppers
If you are trying to match this remote to a specific VIZIO model, confirm your TV belongs to one of the supported groups listed for XRT136 compatibility, including many V-, M-, D-, E-, and P/PX-series models.
Also check your remote type: this remote uses infrared. If your VIZIO setup relies on a different connection method (for example, a different wireless remote system), an IR-only replacement may not replicate every feature.
Pros and cons (realistic buyer expectations)
Best for
- Replacing an IR-based VIZIO remote where you mainly need channel, volume, menu navigation, and basic smart-TV control.
- Shoppers who want quick use without programming or pairing.
- Buying a spare remote for a bedroom, spare room, or backup use case.
Who should avoid it
- People who need guaranteed performance on every app shortcut button, especially if the remote will be your primary daily driver.
- Buyers with a VIZIO remote system that is not infrared-based.
- Anyone sensitive to long-term button feel and durability, given mixed reports about responsiveness and wear.
Verdict: is the XRT136 worth it?
The Universal for VIZIO Smart TV Remote Control Replacement XRT136 is a reasonable low-cost option for many VIZIO TV owners who want an IR remote that works without setup. The main caution is reliability variation reflected in review snippets, including cases where certain buttons do not function as expected or responsiveness degrades. If you want a straightforward replacement for basic controls, it can make sense, but if you need consistent, every-button performance and long-term durability, you may want to compare alternatives (for example, remotes matched to your exact VIZIO model or higher-durability replacement options).
