This is not a TV, but a great monitor without apps

Verified Purchase:Yes
Hi Folks, I just picked this up on Sunday and replaced my Vizio M60-C3. I wanted to upgrade to a larger screen and this new HDR picture. I am very impressed with the picture quality. I mostly use a Bright-house cable box which only broadcasts in 720P or 1080I. For 4K I use Netflix. I expect the Netflix 4K content to pick up over time. Now here is the problem and you need to pay attention as this is not well documented and 2 out of the 3 Vizio techs, along with my Best Buy sales guy didn't know this. This is not a smart TV. It is only a monitor with WiFi. Not a problem if you have an external tuner (cable box or satellite) and don't plan to watch over the air content. Without the built in apps or TV tuner the monitor relies on you using Google Cast to get content to the screen and that's where things break down. You can only watch what your device is capable of playing and you are limited by the WiFi capability of the device. So they give you a small Android Device to drive the TV. It's easy to set up and works like any android tablet. I downloaded Netflix and attempted to watch a 4K movie. It was slow and choppy. I was surprised because I had a wired Ethernet connection to the back of the Monitor and I have a 200Mb connection. Also, I had no issues with my Vizio M60 watching 4K content on the same connection. So I called Vizio and they confirmed it is really a large high end monitor and you are responsible for providing all the content. So if you just want to turn on the TV and watch Netflix or Hulu. This is not the TV for you. Also, if you are not comfortable with a smart phone or tablet, setting up apps and doing updates - stay away. On a good note you can cast from any device so all the tablets and smart phones work once you download the Google Cast App. If I can't get a better 4K steaming experience out this so called TV I will likely bring it back. I do like Vizio and if you want a 4K TV from them, buy one of their non Google Cast models. You still save quite a bit when compared to Samsung or LG.

Can the tablet remote be programmed to control other devices like a Comcast cable box?
Yes - it is a generic tablet. So if you can find the app on Google Play you are all set. I set it up to control my DENON receiver.

What the difference between a smart tv and the new smart cast
Wow - I just posted a long review on this topic. Their is a huge difference at least on their M70-D4 Model. Its actually not a TV at all. It is a really nice monitor. Google cast is like apple airplay. You can watch whats on your phone or tablet and pushed that to the screen. The problem with this TV is its the only way to watch Netflix or really anything as the TV, because the TV has no tuner or built in apps. It really can't be called a TV.
