I wish I were able to pre-load the video on my ps4. I just purchased a 75 inch Sony X H. I am thoroughly impressed with this TV so far with 1 small exception. I am finding that when I stream the exact same content i. The difference is quite drastic and it almost appears when streaming thru the Android TV apps that the content is on the verge if needing to buffer. My wifi download speeds are approximately mpbs however when I did a speed test in the Netflix App thru Andorid TV I'm only getting 15 mbps.
I still need to check the speed thru my Firestick. It's not a big deal to go thru the Firestick, but for peak efficiency it would be nice to lose the Firestick and just use the Android Smart TV menus for all streaming. Thanks in advance for any feedback. This afternoon my EF3 TV showed an update from 2. The first attempt at updating failed and brought me back to the SmartCast screen. I initiated the update through the menu on my own and the second time it appeared to work.
At the time I was using my Switch so didn't notice anything amiss. Tonight, I tried streaming. I couldn't get the TV to load the SmartCast interface or any apps. Determined it forgot my WiFi password. I enter it, it fails to connect. A hard power cycle and another 2 attempts at entering my password, it finally connects fully and lets me open an app.
I get no more than 30 seconds into an Amazon Prime show and it disconnects and dumps me back to the not connected screen.
Rinse and repeat 3 more times before I give up and eat my cold dinner. I was searching online to see if anyone else was having problems with this update but I can't find anyone who's talking about this update.
Vizio's firmware search seems to be reporting the latest firmware is only 2. So now my question is: am I unluckily on the bleeding edge and Vizio's website hasn't caught up? Or did my TV somehow grab a non-released firmware? I plan to try a factory reset tonight but I'm dreading re-entering all my passwords. If that doesn't solve it, I downloaded the 2.
Just had the Stream 4K delivered. I was a little worried over the weekend as the first impressions posted here were less than flattering. I felt kinda silly for jumping on this deal right away without waiting for reviews.
I just got done setting it up and figured I would give my own first impressions and field some questions. For context, I am a big Android TV fan and have used most other streaming platforms at least in passing Apple TV is probably what I'm least familiar with.
I'm reasonably happy with both in their respective roles. The MiBox loses connection sometimes and will struggle with certain content, but I'm sure that's more due to the fact that it is on the other side of the house and I need to get another access point to really blanket my place.
The Stream 4K is going in a similarly tricky WiFi area: much closer to the main Nest WiFi, but enclosed in a build out and there's a large stone fireplace located directly between it and the router.
The SmartCast built in the TV struggled to play things at an acceptable resolution if at all. A Chromecast Ultra did much better from this area but couldn't stream Stadia. Anyways, I plugged everything in and got started. I had a couple weird hiccups connecting the remote. I would press the back and TiVo button to connect and it would. I would start to move through the set up and it would ask me to connect the remote again.
It never lost my spot, but it did that 3 times. I never had another issue with remote connection since then so Moving along the set up, I tried to copy my account with my smartphone. I have never had good luck with this, with any of my devices. This was no exception. After waiting 5 minutes for it to "copy your account" I abandoned ship and just entered my credentials manually like always.
I always wondered if others had similar experiences with that. Once through the initial set up, it wanted to download an update. I think it was about mb. It took forever. I was starting to worry that my WiFi out here just wasn't going to hack it. But it finished eventually and restarted. Boot time seems fairly quick. Not instan. But, there is something I'm a bit confused about.
I have an older smart tv, a Vizio. Is there a reason for that? The physical remote that came with it has no menu button so i used the SmartCast app on my phone. Can it be fixed? I can not seem to find any option to download new apps or update the system.
This is a great set and a great price, I got it for this price on CyberMonday last year and I don't think I've seen it cheaper. This is a great display and it's amazing what I'm getting out of it for the price. This is the M65 8 , Vizio makes this in two other cheaper models M65 7 and M65 6 and those are less bright and have fewer dimming zones. You want this one. I paired this with an AppleTV 4k and it's a great match.
I have it running through my stereo for 5. Still loving it!!! Supports AirPlay 2 and I believe it's supposed to eventually get the AppleTV app, but that's still going to be limited compared to a dedicated streaming device like the AppleTV 4k.
I'm NOT certain if it's the same price in the store or if this is on-line only.
