If you're into the idea of a Google Cast TV, but don't want to pay extra for HDR, Vizio is also bringing the so-called "SmartCast" tech to its 2016 E-Series sets.
Vizio's also selling non-4K full HD E-series TVs with SmartCast starting at $229.99 for a 32-inch and going up to $369.99 for a 43-inch.
Google Cast started out as the technology that powered Google's popular Chromecast HDMI streaming dongle, but over the year's since its release, it's been gradually making its way into more and more devices and products. In it, the maker offers TVs ranging from 50 to 80-inches in size, and they work with the Vizio Tablet Remote, a 6-inch Android tablet that runs the SmartCast app and works to control the television set.
This marks the latest expansion of Vizio's SmartCast - late last month, the company announced that it had partnered with Google to add Google Cast features to its newest TV sets...in that case, the P-Series.
As with all VIZIO SmartCast™ 4K Ultra HD displays, the M-Series Ultra HD HDR Home Theater Display is tuner-free. 4K starts with the 43-inch E43u-D2, which sells for $470 and ranges up to the 70-inch E70u-D3, which has an MSRP of $1,700. The seven 4K Ultra HD E-Series models offer 3840x2160p resolution but do not support HDR.
Vizio is quick to suggest these aren't "TVs" but "home theater displays" because they don't come with built-in TV tuners, but come on, they're still TVs.

Vizio uses Clear Action 240 motion compensation technology, which Vizio said delivers "an 120Hz Effective Refresh Rate" achieved with backlight scanning. Instead of jumping between apps, VIZIO SmartCast lets users search and browse content by genre across multiple apps at once.
Other features in 4K models include: Vizio's Spatial Scaling Engine and VM50 Ultra HD Engine to upscale non-4K Ultra HD content to 3840x2160p resolution. These zones dynamically adjust to on-screen content for deeper, richer black levels and more accurate contrast1 than ever-before seen on an M-Series display. Through our connected entertainment platform, VIZIO is transforming the way consumers discover and experience media content.
