Recommendations for you. Vizio is also making its debut at top ad industry events. In May, the company is participating in the Interactive Advertising Bureau's NewFronts , where online publishers and platforms show off their programming, audience data and tools to media buyers. Investors will need a lot of convincing if they're to ever value Vizio as something other than a consumer hardware vendor.

At about 2. The particular challenge for Vizio is that it needs consumers to first choose to buy its TVs and then opt to use its operating system rather than plugging in a Roku, Google or Amazon device. Vizio's streaming business remains in its early stages. One area where it's investing is voice control to make it easier for consumers to navigate, buy things, and work with other smart home products.

Between and , Vizio's SmartCast integrated with Amazon Alexa, as well as offerings from Google and Apple, "thus enabling our Smart TVs to work with all three major voice assistants. Its main improvements, according to the company, are speed-related: faster load times for the home page, smoother scrolling and quicker load times for major apps including Netflix, Hulu and Prime Video.

I checked the new version out at a demo Vizio provided and it did seem faster, so we'll see. The current version on the V-Series sets I tested is really slow, especially compared to the snappiness of Roku TV on a 4-Series, so any speed improvements are welcome.

Other issued with the system won't be addressed by the update. The main screen, filled with a random selection of TV shows and movies I didn't care about, is still worse than on any other current TV. App selection lags behind other smart TVs, especially Roku, but most of the major names are all there. To watch any of the hundreds of apps not part of Vizio's onscreen system, you'll use the cast function on your phone to connect to the TV.

The Vizio's Chromecast built-in feature is neat for phone-centric users, but less convenient for people used to onscreen apps. Comparing standard Blu-ray playback black levels in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 and Blade Runner: , the more-expensive 6-Series and M8 were as expected clearly superior, with more pop thanks to deeper, more realistic black levels.

Among the other three the closest was the VG1 with deeper black levels than the other two in the darkest scenes. That's not much of a surprise since the VG1 is the only one equipped with full-array local dimming, but its advantage wasn't overwhelming. In brighter scenes the TCL matched the VG1's black levels and delivered slightly more definition and depth, perhaps pointing to superior gamma for dark-room viewing.

Meanwhile, the VG3 was consistently a bit behind those two in most scenes, although again the difference wasn't major. Light output on the Vizios was mediocre, as you'd expect from a cheaper TV. Vizio claims a nit peak light output on the VG1 and not the VG3 , and when I engaged the Vivid mode it did hit nits -- but that mode is terribly inaccurate with an overly-blue color cast as well as other issues. I needed to engage Vivid to get to and nits, respectively.
