Primarily, the HDMI input is the most common input across all the TVs. In a VIZIO TV, you will find two different inputs, including an HDMI input and a USB input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inputs will have the names determined by the programming of your VIZIO Smart TV. For example, if you have connected a DVD player to your VIZIO TV, then a DVD will be displayed, and if you have connected a gaming console like Xbox or Playstation, it will show up as the input source that it gets connected to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, on connecting a USB hard drive to your VIZIO smart tv, the input menu in your TV will display the name of the hard drive given by you, or simply it will show the number of USB ports where you have inserted the drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, if you are using a gaming console, you certainly need an HDMI cable to connect your console to your VIZIO Smart TV. When you insert your cable at an HDMI port, it will not show the name of your gaming console; instead, it will display the number of the HDMI Port (e.g., HDMI Port 2) on the Input <\/strong>section of your VIZIO Smart TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
