You’ll also see helpful metadata for each title like its resolution and whether or not it’s available in formats like Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos.Īgain, these features aren’t new to the world of smart TV interfaces - in many ways, Vizio has simply copied the formats now used by its competitors - but it will still be a breath of fresh air for Vizio TV owners who have been itching for a better way to watch streaming content. The info pages themselves are also more useful, with Discover, About, and Parental Guide sections that provide extra info related to the content you’re about to watch. Instead of making you click through to a show or movie’s info page, much of that content is now shown next to the cover art at the top of the screen when you hover over a show’s thumbnail. You’ll also notice that it takes fewer clicks to get the information you want. The My Watchlist screen lets you pull together movies and shows from different apps in one place. You’ll also have more control over the apps - customizing the app row can now be done in a single click, and each app will deliver its own content recommendations.
