Not sure I'd call them a "bargain brand", they aren't Haier or anything like that. They are appropriately priced high end TV's. I guess if people want to pay for a Sansung or Sony badge, good for them!

Yes, there will be 1 input on your receiver that will say HDMI/ARC, thats the one you run the cable from your HDMI1/ARC from the TV (on mine its 1, on yours it should be too).
Now for the Xbox, the best input for gaming is HDMI5, thats a designated "low latency" input. I didn't use "game mode" on the display settings for the Xbox, but that should reduce the latency even more (I do activate it though when I play emulated Nintendo games).
The biggest thing, learn the remote, learn where your picture settings are in the Vizio Cast app in the tablet, and how to adjust all of those settings (including turning on CEC/ARC because its off by default). You can adjust literally everything through the tablet because there is no on screen menus. And the setting stick for each individual input which is great, not universal to the TV. You can also install Vizio Cast on your phone and use it as a remote as well.
