Vizio SmartCast at Best Buy

by Erik

I love TV. I’m not ashamed to admit it. Let me rephrase. I love good TV. I admit there is a lot of bad TV, but when I’m watching good TV I want to see it clearly. But the thing is, these days, a lot of the Good TV is coming from different places. We’ve been well past the days of the three major networks for years. But now even the replacements for those channels are being replaced themselves. Now online services are coming up with more and more original content. You need a TV that can keep up. OK, maybe I need a TV that can keep up. My TV isn’t even a Smart TV. Its plain dumb. My DVR doesn’t  offer any decent internet features. Right now if I want to access Netflix or Hulu I have to use my very flaky Blu-ray player. Nothing like having a movie freeze halfway through, having to reboot the Blu-ray player and then fast-forward back to your place. Woohoo. Fun filled movie night. Oh wait, that sounds like the dvr from my tv provider too.  So yeah, I’m on the lookout for a new smarter TV. And I think I may have found one. The Vizio SmartCast P-Series at Best Buy.

This is one seriously nice TV. To start off with, it doesn’t have a tuner. Now your first thought is probably “What does that mean? Don’t I need a Tuner?” Well, ask yourself this…When was the last time you actually watched TV over the air? For me it’s been at least 20 years that I have had cable or satellite because the good TV I want is only available there. And now, the good TV I want is online more and more. So no, you don’t need a tuner. And you know what the means to you? A thinner TV with more advanced features for your money, like say, a 6-inch android tablet remote. Yeah. You heard me, a tablet is the remote. And it’s a tablet with the Vizio SmartCast App, so you can use Google Cast to show any content from Cast enabled Apps (like Netflix or Hulu) with the press of a button. And in case you thought it makes up for all these cool features with a low quality display, have no fear. The Vizio SmartCast series is the first 4K ultra HD display to feature High Dynamic Range with Dolby Vision and Ultra Color Spectrum.  Trust me. You have to see this display to truly appreciate it. When I went to Best Buy I was blown away by the vibrant colors and amazing contrast. Check out this link if you want to see more of the cool features this TV has to offer.

Yep. I know what’s going on my Father’s Day Wish List.

I love a good, clear, big screen tv for about 5 TV Shows. The rest I watch on a tablet. I don't have a smart tv but I do love my Roku box. Thank you for the review. I will be shopping for a new tv around Black Friday and I will keep my eye out for this model
