After logging dozens of hours with the screen, I was still getting recommended nonsensical content. Often, SmartCast would recommend content to me that had little relation to the shows, movies and YouTube clips that I watched, even after spending weeks with the TV. The featured content row is almost exactly what it sounds like - a place for Vizio to highlight new apps or content from its partners.ĭiscover, however, is a bit of a letdown. The main interface is divided into three rows: one for featured content, a discovery row and a row that lists all the available apps on SmartCast. Startup from a complete shutdown takes a seriously long time, and navigating around the interface isn’t nearly as snappy as LG’s WebOS or Samsung’s Tizen platform. If there’s anything substantial holding the Vizio P-Series Quantum back, it’s Vizio’s smart platform: In just a few words, SmartCast is one of the least robust platforms and one of the slowest, too. Voice search has become fairly ubiquitous at this stage, and its absence is definitely felt on a TV that otherwise feels just as premium as the competition. What the remote is missing, however, is a voice search button. it still needs line of sight to the TV) it's fairly powerful, so don't worry too much if you have a big soundbar that blocks the front of the screen. The remote will feature shortcut buttons for some of the most popular streaming services including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Vudu. Similar screens from Samsung use a t-bar design that relocates cables down through the stand, and that keeps things looking clean.Īlongside the TV, you’ll also get a fairly standard plastic remote. The cutaway design makes it easy to connect new devices if the TV is wall-mounted, but when it’s sitting on a shelf cords jut out of the side and make your beautiful new living room centerpiece look cluttered and unrefined. What is more of a deal breaker is how the TV handles cabling.Īround the back of the screen you’ll find a cutaway space for all the inputs and outputs.
