VIZIO Launches 2019 4K Smart TVs, With AirPlay 2 & HomeKit Support Coming to 2016+ SmartCast TVs In Next Few Weeks
Earlier today, VIZIO announced the launch of their new 2019 SmartCast televisions. In addition to built-in Chromecast support, VIZIO Smart TVs will add support for AirPlay 2 and HomeKit in the next few weeks. If you have an older VIZIO SmartCast television, AirPlay2 and HomeKit will be made available for 2016+ models with a software update.
Consumers can find the 2019 VIZIO TV offerings at retailers nationwide such as Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, Sam’s Club, Target and Walmart, ranging from $259.99 MSRP for the all-new 40-inch V-Series to $3,499.99 for the flagship 75-inch P-Series Quantum X. A 65” V-Series television starts at $599.99, while M-Series starts at $899.99, and P-Series at $1,399.99.
The new Smart TVs all include 4K, Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG, and VIZIO SmartCast 3.0 which is compatible with Siri, Google Assistant and Alexa. The company also recently released an updated Hulu app which now supports Hulu Live TV. For the first time, VIZIO’s Quantum Color technology is available as part of their 2019 M-Series collection, with 4K and Dolby Vision trickling down the entire lineup.
In early April, VIZIO began testing AirPlay support with existing customers. Just last week, Samsung released support for AirPlay2 on compatible 2018 and 2019 Samsung televisions. With AirPlay2 and HomeKit, customers will also be able to send a video to their TV by voice. For instance, “Hey Siri, play Game of Thrones on my living room TV” will AirPlay the show to a compatible Smart TV.
