Vizio TVs are a great choice for those who prefer to combine simplicity and excellent features. The TV is filled with useful functions, for example, the subtitles. Subtitles are the words that are displayed at the bottom of the screen and explain the dialogue between people, background noises, and sound effects to let people watch their favorite content and feel relaxed.
Even though, this feature can greatly help people with hearing problems, or viewers who try to learn a new language, they still may annoy people who have accidentally switched them on. People tend to want to get rid of this text displayed at the bottom, as sometimes it distracts them from viewing or even bothers them. Fortunately, there’s a way to turn them off and there’s no need to make some big effort.
Modern TVs provide their users with a full range of features and opportunities from casting the content to reading the dialogue between actors right on the screen. Even though there are many new opportunities offered, users still may get a bit confused with them. Subtitles are available almost on each TV, so it’s not weird that some of the users want to disable them. Not only do Vizio TV users have a desire to get rid of the bottom screen text, but LG TV, Sony TV, Samsung TV, etc users also.
However, if people want to disable the subtitles, they still can be helpful. For example, if the background noises are louder than the dialogue, or the actors have a thick accent, the subtitles can help you to efficiently follow the dialogue and have a full understanding of what’s going on. Despite this fact, as was mentioned before, some people want to disable them as they find subtitles distracting.
Keep in mind that the methods can slightly vary depending on the model of your TV. Unfortunately, you can’t sitch the subtitles off at once.
