The TV’s smart platform is built into the tablet with all functions controlled through and cast to the TV from the SmartCast remote. This 6″ Android device delivers 1080p screen resolution and has 16GB of storage, stereo speakers and complete access to the Google Play store. Update : Vizio issued a software update allowing the P and M series TVs to be compatible with HDR10 sources like 4K Blu-ray players.Īnother major change for 2016 is the new SmartCast Tablet Remote. HDR10 will be added this summer via a firmware update. Note: Vizio’s P Series only has Dolby Vision HDR capability. HDR provides increased contrast with a greater range of peak brightness (highlights) and black levels, in addition to better picture detail, and more vibrant colors. HDR and wider color spectrum capability are part of the current P Series lineup. This should theoretically increase contrast and black level performance. The 50″ and 55″ models contain 126 active LED zones. The LED zones for the display panel’s full-array backlighting have been substantially increased from 64 to 128 active LED zones on the 65″ and 75″ models. One notable improvement on these latest models is the new stand design gone is the outdated appearance and somewhat unstable pedestal design which has been replaced with a much more modern-looking pair of “angle shaped” cast aluminum calibrated legs. However, the panel depth is still a bit bulky (2.36″) when compared to Samsung’s and Sony’s much slimmer designs. In addition, the bezel and panel depth is slightly thinner than in the 2014 models.

When compared to the previous P Series models, the overall appearance of the new lineup is much nicer and features an anodized aluminum silver finish that gives it a higher-end look.
