Remote only works when held close to sensor

You can buy an OEM remote for less than $7.00 on amazon.
If this does not correct problem, you will have to suspect TV remote receiver

If your Vizio remote quits working, it can from having low batteries, or a blocked TV sensor or a power residue of the remote and the TV or a dirty power source or a stuck memory of the remote or problems with the TV itself.
Make sure that none of the remote buttons are stuck or jammed . Try and reset the remote. The remote might not work temporarily due to the poor contact of the battery or and static electricity. Remove the batteries from the remote.

That won't happen. What you can try is cutting off a short piece of drinking straw and holding it in front of the led on the remote and see if it works on just one tv. If it does, then tape it on the remote and do the same to the other remote.

Codes to check with Vizio TV are:
0891, 0912, 1783


Look up your TV make in the TV code listing on the other side of this sheet.
2. Circle the first 4-digit number displayed for your make of TV.
3. Turn on your TV.
4. Press and hold the TV key.
5. While holding down the TV key, press the OK key.
6. Release both keys. The Device Keys will blink twice.
7. Enter the 4-digit TV code you circled. The TV key will blink 3 times.
8. To test to see if this was the correct code, point the remote at your TV and press Power. If the TV turns off, you have successfully programmed your remote.

If the TV did not turn off, repeat all the steps with the next code in the list.
10. For future reference, underline the code that worked for you.
Note: If some of the keys on the remote do not operate your TV as you would expect, then you can try the next code in the list for your brand of TV.

If remotes have been ruled out the only way to test the remote infrared receiver is with the set apart/ and a schematic measure voltage at the receiver when the remote is used---most of the time since the part is rather small this is just replaced to see if it is or is not the problem; some receivers will fail where if the remote is held very close they work--always the receiver in that case.

A remote is not designed to control and Moitor. They only run by the video/sound output from the pc. So I am taking it for granted that you meant TV instead of Monitor.

A. Before buying a new remote try replacing the batteries first.

B. I found the Innovage Jumbo Remote Control manual and it has no code for the Vizio TV, you will need to utilize the remote's "Code Search" option.

C. Instructions

1. Turn on the Vizio TV.
2. Aim the Jumbo Universal Remote at the Vizio TV and hold down the "Code Search" button on the remove for roughly 3 to 5 seconds. The LED lights on the Jumbo Universal Remote will come on.
3. Press the "TV" button at the top of the Jumbo Universal Remote.
4. Start pressing the "ON/OFF" button repeatedly until the Vizio TV turns off. This will likely take several minutes due to the amount of available codes.
5. Press "Enter" on the remote immediately after the Vizio TV turns off to save the code.
6. Test the Jumbo Universal Remote by trying to control the Vizio TV with the remote. If the control doesn't work with the remote, repeat the entire process.

Good luck.

Make sure the remote is set to operate your tv and not a cable box or accesory. It's in the menu

I have a 37 inch vizio and had the same problem. After a little web research, I came across a suggestion that the LG codes might work. I tried it and found that the code 19 worked. You might try that. If 19 doesn't work for you, one of the other LG codes might (they are 06, 21, 22, 23 or 78).
