The majority of Vizio TV models released have Bluetooth. This is excellent news for anyone who wants to stream audio from their mobile device via Chromecast, cast from an app like Netflix, or use the TV speakers as their primary listening source.

This article explains what the term “Bluetooth” means and whether or not Vizio TVs have Bluetooth. We also explain how you can check whether your specific model has Bluetooth built-in or not.

Vizio TVs do have Bluetooth capabilities. This means you can connect your Vizio TV to any Bluetooth-enabled device, such as headphones, speakers, or even your smartphone.

What is Bluetooth?

Bluetooth is standard wireless technology. It operates on radio frequencies, similar to WiFi. The idea behind Bluetooth is that you can make “wireless connections” between devices. This saves you from needing to plug cables into different devices. You can also create a wireless connection between 2 devices that already have a cable or wired connection.

For example, you can pair your laptop with a Bluetooth speaker or headphones. This way, you don’t need to plug your headphones into the laptop.

Bluetooth is different from WiFi in a few key ways. First, Bluetooth is low-powered, which means devices have a shorter range than WiFi-enabled devices. For example, you can stream music from your phone to a Bluetooth speaker, but you can’t use Bluetooth to connect to WiFi. Second, Bluetooth is primarily a “point-to-point” connection.

This means that you can only connect two devices at a time. WiFi can be connected to multiple devices simultaneously using a router.

What devices use Bluetooth?

Bluetooth can be found on a variety of devices. Some examples are smartphones, speakers, headphones, and computer mice. Most mobile devices, computers, and smart home products now have Bluetooth built-in. Vizio televisions have a “built-in” Bluetooth chip. However, the chip is just a Bluetooth receiver. It can only receive audio signals or data and not transmit them. This means you can stream audio to the TV, but you can’t use the TV as a Bluetooth speaker.

Do all Vizio TVs have Bluetooth?

No, not all Vizio TV models have built-in Bluetooth technology. Even though Vizio TVs have a “built-in” Bluetooth chip, the chip is just a receiver. It can only receive data and audio, not transmit. This means you can stream audio to the TV, but it can’t transmit audio to any other devices.

Vizio doesn’t make it easy to determine which TVs have Bluetooth and which don’t. There is no simple list of models with a “Bluetooth” tick box. This is because the “built-in” Bluetooth chip is not part of the TV model. Instead, it is a separate chip built into all Vizio sets for several reasons.

How to check if your Vizio TV has Bluetooth

If you’re reading this article and trying to work out whether your Vizio TV has Bluetooth built-in or not, you’re in luck because there is an easy way to find out.

• First, ensure your TV is turned on and set to its “home” or “factory” settings. This means you’ll have all the regular picture and sound settings that come with your TV. It also means no apps will be running. 
• Next, hold down the “OK” button on your remote. You would typically use this button to “select” an option on-screen. After a couple of seconds, a list of 3 options will appear on-screen. These options will be “Power,” “Sound,” and “Input.”
• If you see “Bluetooth” in this list, your TV has built-in Bluetooth. If you don’t see “Bluetooth,” your TV model doesn’t have Bluetooth.
