5 Things We Love About the VIZIO M-Series SmartCast Display

We recently received the VIZIO M-50 D-1 to review. We haven’t turned it off but a hand-full of times in the last few weeks. Here are 5 things we are loving about the VIZIO M-Series SmartCast™ Displays, that we think you will love to.

Picture Quality 

The VIZIO Ultra HD HDR Home Theater Display provides a picture quality that is hard to beat. Dynamic Range DOLBY Vision transforms your cinema and viewing experiences with astonishing brightness, contrast, and color. Learn more about Dolby Vision.

ChromeCast

The VIZIO M-Series SmartCast line has Google Cast built-in. This is the same technology behind ChromeCast which allows you to cast your favorite content from your phone or laptop to your TV. You can mirror your Android phone screen or Google Chrome browser.

We have a ChromeCast that we’ve used for years with our kids upstairs, but being built-in to a television? BRILLIANT.  I can’t tell you how many times my husband wants to show the family a video, we have 6 of us fighting to see his silly viral video on a 6 inch screen. With ChromeCast, he can just cast the video to the VIZIO display – the quality is amazing and the picture is big enough for everyone to use.

VIZIO SmartCast App

6″ Android Tablet Remote

The VIZIO SmartCast display comes with a 6″ Android tablet remote. The tablet remote includes the VIZIO SmartCast^™app pre-installed, users simple tap, swipe and voice-commands and revolutionizes how you think of a remote control.

The Android tablet offers 8GB of storage, 720p HD, Quad-core processor and charges with a wireless charging dock.

The tablet is super easy to use. The only downside, is that you can use the tablet without the television. We’ve caught our 2 youngest with this tablet up their room watching Netflix.

Simple Setup

There is nothing more frustrating than getting a new piece of technology and having to spend an hour setting it up.  The setup for the VIZIO is simple. No complicated instructions, hours of frustrations and hair pulling – just a few steps and you are ready to watch TV!

Awesome Price Point

VIZIO is known for their quality products and affordable prices. The M-series Ultra HD HDR Home Theater Display™ SmartCast^™ series starts at $849. Screen sizes for the M-series starts at 50″ and go up to 80″.

Overall, we’ve enjoyed our experience with our M-series VIZIO display. We love being able to use multiple devices to control the display. The photo quality and sounds quality (we haven’t purchased a sound bar yet) is fabulous. There are multiple color options to optimize the picture.

Something to note, this is a display, not a TV. What’s the difference between a Display and a TV?  A TV is a device class that includes a built?in tuner. VIZIO SmartCast displays do not have a tuner built in, but still offer the same brilliant picture quality, intuitive experience and exceptional value that you would expect from a VIZIO TV.

We are not network television people, we HULU, Netflix, Sling, HBO Go most everything we watch. We do have one television setup with local networks, but honestly can’t tell you the last time I’ve “tuned into” watch anything on network television using the old school method!
