The displays aren’t touchscreens, but the units do come with a wireless touchpad with multi-touch gesture
support and a remote control in addition to a wireless keyboard. The
keyboard also features a “V key” that offers a one touch shortcut to
streaming video services including Hulu Plus, Netflix and Vudu.

Vizio has obviously spent some time on the minimalist styling of its
All-in-One units, which see the slimline display sitting atop a die-cast
aluminum neck – however, it should be noted that the neck doesn’t allow
swivel, but only tilts up and down. Various ports are also located on
the side and rear of the base unit rather with none offered on the side
of the display.
