Vizio continues to expand its business, going beyond TVs . Just recently, it has announced the 2016 Vizio Smartcast M-Series Displays and SmartCast P-Series streaming ecosystem. Vizio also has its smartphone lineup and soundbars that complement the Ultra HD TVs. The latter has just been updated with Google Cast technology. Yup, the same feature that has made Vizio TVs more feature-rich and exciting is now supported by the soundbars.
Officially called as the Vizio SmartCast Sound Bars, this new series boasts of the Google Cast function. Nine models were introduced with sizes ranging from 38- to 45-inches and prices starting at $180 and up to $500. You can get any of the model now as the full lineup is readily available. Feel free to stream music from any streaming services via Google Cast.
It’s like having a Chromecast attached to an ordinary soundbar but this time, the function is already built-in. If you want to play and stream music from an Internet service, just Google Cast it to the Vizio Soundbar.
