Vizio Updates Smart TV Platform

VIAPLUSv5fullscreenapps-sm-0813VIZIO today announced the availability of its all-new connected platform — VIZIO Internet Apps Plus. The new smart TV experience debuted on VIZIO’s all-new M-Series Razor LED smart TV collection that includes sizes from 32″ to 80″.

The new platform features a full-screen app browsing and discovery mode with the ability to control apps with mobile devices and a more intuitive app launcher than the company’s last version. Consumers can not only navigate quicker and easier, but the redesign also provides access to a newly expanded full-screen app library, making it easier to find, organize and browse the full collection of apps. The new interface also overlays an app launcher along the bottom of the screen for quick, at-a-glance access to seven of the user’s favorite apps. With the selected app now in center focus of the display, users can better view the previous three and next three apps in the carousel for faster navigation.

Users can now control apps with a mobile device, paving the way to seamless second screen interactivity between phones, tablets and smart TVs. The YouTube “Send to TV” feature (nearly identical to how Apple AirPlay works) allows consumers to send a YouTube video from their mobile devices to the TV when both are connected on the same Wi-Fi network.
