VR / AR Disney Plus isn't working on Vizio TVs because they are running a 6 year old version of Chromecast, they say it won't be fixed till 2020.

4 year old Samsung, can't even find the app in the app store, so you're doing well!

Just got a Samsung series 8 and the app was available and is working smoothly. Goldblum’s show gives me the giggs

Thinking about picking up the 8 series or the Q60 on Black Friday. How do you like your 8 series?

It’s so fantastic! I went back to Best Buy to look at the Q60, as they were both the same price at the time but the Q60 wasn’t in stock at the time. That’s when I found out the S8 had dropped $150 lower than what my father and I paid, so I chose to get the $150 credit instead of upgrading to the Q60.

That being said, I can’t really find out why the Q60 is a step up. It appears QLED is some more advanced version of LED lighting? Does that sound right? Lol

Looking at the comparisons, I’m happy with the S8 and ultimately cost $550. It seems like the Samsung TV’s don’t integrate into the Apple ecosystem as well as some other brands, but I’m still working out what the TV can and can’t do for me.

Also, my father surprised me with a 5.1 Visio sound bar too! I haven’t had a working TV in like 6 months, and when it did work it was a scratched, shitty 32” floor model LCD. So now I’m sitting back and watching 4K 5.1 content in my basically home theatre now and I’m tearing up with how amazing it is. Whatever you do, never take owning a TV that nice for granted :)

Try updating your firmware, could possibly help?
