Last but not least, the TV comes with a basic IR remote that has shortcuts for Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus, Crackle and others, as well as Vizio’s own WatchFree service. It doesn’t list any contrast control zones for this TV, which we’ll explain down below, and the TV’s panel only has a native 60Hz refresh rate. Inside the TV, Vizio has installed its basic IQ Processor to handle motion processing and upscaling and a full array panel. Having just two HDMI ports isn’t exactly a deal-breaker at this price, but it is something to pay attention to – if you know you have more than two devices that need to go into the TV, you’ll either need to find another model or invest in something like an HDMI splitter. Here you’ll find the inputs and outputs for the TV that include only two HDMI ports (HDMI 1 supports ARC), composite-in and both digital optical audio out and 3.5mm aux. Spin it around to the side, however, and you’ll see that it’s not completely modern – the D-Series is fairly thick around the midsection that juts out several inches. With a minimal bezel around the screen, slim plastic legs and a low-profile look, the D-Series looks very modern… at least in the front. Vizio's SmartCast even includes WatchFree+, which is essentially like streaming cable TV for free with hundreds of channels and live TV and on-demand content.For a low-price TV, the D-Series actually looks pretty sleek. Access Paramount Plus, Netflix, HBO Max, and plenty of other applications from your TV without the need for an extra device. You'll also get access to hundreds of TV episodes and movies thanks to the built-in smart platform. It looks great, feels great, and won't disappoint. Add all of that technology onto a 4K resolution display that has a ton of HDR support through Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HLG, and what you get is a fantastic image every time. You also get 27 local dimming zones, which is important for intelligent adjustment of the TV's picture and backlighting, giving you deep blacks and great contrast. The Quantum Color, for example, ensures cinematic color quality with a billion hues of vibrant color. With the Vizio M7 Series you get a great TV loaded with all sorts of features, including technology unique to Vizio.
