If you're using a Miracast dongle or adapter, make sure it's plugged in to the display. "With both AirPlay 2 and HomeKit support, users can now share movies, TV shows, music and more from their favorite apps, including the Apple TV app, directly to SmartCast TVs, and enable TV controls through the Home app and Siri.” Vizio's announcement comes on the heels of LG's announcement earlier in July that it was the first TV manufacturer to add HomeKit.Wirelessly connect your PC to a TV, projector, another PC, or other kind of external display that supports Miracast. "SmartCast 3.0 is full of added value for Vizio customers," Bill Baxter, Vizio's chief technology officer, said in a statement. The new Apple-powered features are being rolled into Vizio's SmartCast 3.0, an over-the-air update beginning July 31 and will continue to out over the next few months until all compatible TVs are up-to-date. To help you navigate this updated UI, most new models of SmartCast televisions will come with Vizio’s new Bluetooth-enabled Voice Remote, with push-to-talk functionality that the company has dubbed “Vizio Voice.” The voice search system uses “natural language intelligence” and is designed to allow users to quickly and efficiently search and discover content on SmartCast without having to type.Įven though we knew it was coming thanks to Apple's previously released list of all TVs that would be getting AirPlay 2 this year, it's still gratifying to see that Vizio announced the rollout of both AirPlay 2 and Apple HomeKit to a huge number of its SmartCast TV models - some as old as 2016. Vizio also claims that SmartCast will perform faster and more seamlessly after the update. and expanded navigation features for easier search and discovery. The update, which is live on all SmartCast-enabled TVs, adds new voice-command capability, new free TV channels, a redesigned electronic program guide. Fortunately, Vizio’s smart TVs don’t fall into that category, thanks in no small part to its user-friendly SmartCast interface - which just got a major upgrade. Slow and unintuitive navigation and clunky user interfaces still plague this space, and consumers sometimes opt for some sort of set-top box, even when their TV has streaming apps built in.
It’s no secret that many of today’s smart TVs aren’t really all that intelligent.
