Vizio just made its 4K TV lineup more pocket-friendly with the release of the new E series and M series TVs.
Packed with similar features found in the P series of TVs, the new lineups will retail at prices ranging between $470 and $1,700 for the E series and between $850 and $4,000 for the M series.
The $850 pricing of the M series goes for the 50-inch model. Other models in the series include a 55-incher ($1,000), a 60-incher ($1,250), a 65-inch version ($1,500), a 70-incher ($2,000) and a mammoth 80-inch model ($4,000).
Each model boasts Full-Array LED backlighting, 64 Active LED Zones, Google Cast protocol, and support for both HDR and Ultra HD playback. Each also comes with a 6-inch Android Tablet that serves as a Remote with the VIZIO SmartCast app preinstalled.
Google Cast allows users to access thousands of popular and well-loved mobile apps and easily view content from the screen of their mobile device on any VIZIO SmartCast device through Wi-Fi streaming.
The VIZIO SmartCast app allows for simple navigation and an easier way to discover and control content. Since the app can be downloaded on both iOS and Android devices, users will be able to control any VIZIO SmartCast device using almost every mobile device available around the home.
"The M Series truly represents a breakthrough in how consumers access and control content," said Matt McRae, Chief Technology Officer at VIZIO. "The VIZIO Tablet Remote with pre-loaded VIZIO SmartCast app is a game-changer, delivering an advanced user experience that brings home entertainment into the mobile era."
Next up is the company's E series TVs, with prices that are even lower and features that are slightly "subdued" compared to its cousins from the M series. For one thing, the E series displays are not built with HDR functionality. Moreover, the TVs don't come with a 6-inch tablet and identical number of local-dimming zones as the M series models.
Starting at $470, customers can already snag the 43-inch 4K version from the E series. Other pricing options that are available include $550 (48 inches), $600 (50 inches), $700 (55 inches), $970 (60 inches), $1,100 (65 inches) and $1,700 (70 inches).
"The VIZIO E-Series truly offers an uncompromised value to consumers," said McRae. "The product line gives consumers a whole new way to engage with content thanks to Google Cast built-in and the VIZIO SmartCast app. E-Series consumers can also reap the benefits of 4K Ultra HD technology with enhanced clarity and lifelike detail now playing a fundamental role in their entertainment experience."
