Today you have to spend over $2000 to get a TV with superior quality and features but you won’t find those higher end features in a TV less than 55″. I know it’s not native but it sure makes a difference and with Game mode it’s even more of a difference. It’s 3D with 480hz motion rate processing. Aside from the app platform and firmware issues, this is a fantastic TV. For some reason I never received the notification and I cannot register for my piece of the pie. My TV was listed in the class action lawsuit for 17 million dollars where Vizio was caught taking user information without ever providing an opt-in request. Other people with the same exact TV have this option so I really want the latest firmware. So I have to believe they disabled it? No chance. I should be able to see the option to disable Vizio’s ability to read my data but my firmware was never updated to offer the option. This entire platform is a real joke with how the yahoo store apps were just abandoned. It’s networked and I have a yahoo ID and I am signed in to my store account. The site says it is an automated process but I know my firmware has never been updated ever. Was there a time Vizio allowed us to download firmware? Because currently they do not have an option for it. You can now open SmartCast TV and see any new apps or features released with the update. Allow the TV to update itself without interference, and your TV will reboot and load the latest firmware. You should see an on-screen progress indicator showing you how far along the update process is. With the remote, select Menu and then Settings.As long as your TV gets connected to WiFi, it should take just a few seconds to update your TV manually. These models also update their firmware periodically, but you can do this manually yourself if you want to. Vizio TVs equipped with SmartCast make much shorter work of updates. These newer models do not require you to update your apps manually they update themselves automatically when you aren’t using your TV. With Chromecast, you can use an app on your phone to cast content directly to your TV. Subsequent generations of Vizio TVs use SmartCast TV, which is a version of Chromecast.
