I’m in my 40s. I remember when there were only like five channels, and when you had to get up to change the channel. It’s partly because of my age and partly because of my love for technology that I am always fascinated by the latest in televisions because of all the wonderful capabilities that they have. The television that caught my interest recently is hard to classify as just a television. It’s also a piece of technology. The product I am speaking of is the all-new VIZIO SmartCast™ P-Series™ Ultra HD HDR Home Theater Display™ currently available at Best Buy.
The VIZIO SmartCast P-Series Ultra HD High Dynamic Range Home Theater Messaging Display launched this month at Best Buy. The P-Series™ features High Dynamic Range with Dolby Vision content support and Ultra Color Spectrum, providing a dramatically different visual experience with astonishing brightness, radiant contrast, and captivating color. Full-Array LED backlighting and up to 128 Active LED Zones™ deliver exceptional light uniformity and deeper, richer black levels. This innovative and very cool new technology allows people like you and I to interact with our televisions and entertainment now more than ever.
This display series is the the first 4K ultra HD display to feature High Dynamic Range with Dolby Vision, Ultra Color Spectrum, Google Cast™ built-in, with a powerful 6” Android™ Tablet Remote included.
What’s that? The display comes with a tablet remote? Yep! This powerful 6” Android tablet comes with the VIZIO SmartCast app preinstalled. The app allows you to browse content by genre across multiple apps all at once. You can navigate and browse through movies, TV shows, and music with simple tap, swipe and voice-based commands. Folks with IP-based set-top boxes from DirecTV® and Dish® services are even able to surf live tv, with more services to be added in the future. (See vizio.com/smartcast for details.) Once you find the content you want to view on the tablet, you tap and that content plays on the P-Series™’ stunning display.
That’s not all! Have you heard of Google Cast? The new VIZIO SmartCast P-Series has it! With Google Cast built-in, you can cast from thousands of Google Cast-enabled apps that you already know and love, including apps such as YouTube and Netflix.
If sports and action movies are your thing, you will surely appreciate the powerful image processing of the P-Series™ with up to Clear Action™ 960 that combines a blazing 240Hz effective refresh rate achieved with backlight scanning for sharper detail in fast action scenes. With all of this and more on display, the P-Series™ is a whole new way to watch.
The VIZIO SmartCast™ P-Series™ Ultra HD HDR Home Theater Display will certainly change the way you watch tv, the way you experience entertainment will never be the same again.
This looks like a great option for TV, I will have to go check it out at Best Buy. I love how far technology has advanced!
I would love a new home theatre system. This one sounds like it is really impressive.
I guess I’d put the vizio in my living room. Only after I redecorate it though.
I love learning about new technological updates and product features. The VIZIO SmartCast would be amazing in our living room, since that is where we watch television as a family.
It’s amazing how far TV has come and this would be great in our family room.
This sounds like a great option. I’d enjoy the clearer picture and it’s cool that you can connect it to your device.
I would enjoy it in our basement… we really need to upgrade our TV and this would be amazing to watch movies on!
This is cool. I’ve known Vizio as a television hardware manufacturer before and nice to see them progressing to new age 4k! I bet the other “casts” are starting have a little competition!
TV times sure have changed! What fun this system would be!
Television technology never ceases to amaze me. I bet I would love the crisp, clear picture. I’m sure hubby would proudly display it in our living room for all to see!
I just got a VIZIO for Christmas last year for myself. I dont have this one but if I did I would put this in the living room! It will be a mini movie theater!
This looks like an amazing TV. I am going to be looking for a new TV this summer. I will have to check this one out.
I have been stalking Vizio for YEARS now, they may as well just hire me! I am a member of their fandemonium community!
I think Vizio has a good product, I’ve never tried it but we are planning to buy a new smart tv this week. I’ll check it out.
I relax in the den; I relax in my master bedroom–tough choice.
I have seen this TV at Best Buy myself. I admit that I was mesmerized by it. I have always thought that Vizio makes the best TVs for picture quality. I own one myself!
Geez, I need a new tv and this looks amazing. Thanks for sharing, I’m going to go check it out
The VIZIO SmartCast looks amazing! I would put it in the largest room, my living room!
Vizio has proven to be a trustworthy name in television for my family. My daughter bought one when she got married and it has been extremely dependable for years now. I will have to share this with her. It’s time for an upgrade!
This looks like an awesome model TV. We will be in the market soon and Best Buy will be our first stop!
I will definitely put this in the living room! It’s a TV that the family and I would enjoy. If we had an entertainment room, I will put that TV there. It sounds amazing and it’s definitely worth the price.
That looks like a great TV . The technology these days is very advanced!
I think I’d most enjoy it in the living room. And I remember getting up to change a channel. Times have definitley changed. 🙂
What a cool TV! I love that this it has a tablet-like remote! My TV in college was a hand me down and still had the 2 dials that you turned to get to the UHF channels (I think that’s what they were called). I guess I’m not as young as I used to be.
My husband would lobby for this to be in the living room, especially during college football season.
His butt is planted on the living room sofa every Saturday watching SEC ball.
