Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Streaming content via AirPlay has become second nature to me. As much as I love the compact, lightweight design of my iPhone and MacBook, nothing beats a large high-definition TV screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2018, when Apple updated its wireless streaming protocol, AirPlay, to the aptly named AirPlay 2, I was really excited for two reasons. Firstly the backward compatible AirPlay 2 meant it would work with older models of Apple devices, which, let’s be honest, are an expensive investment. And second, it signaled Apple’s increased efforts to get a bigger chunk of the home entertainment market. Thanks to licensing agreements with a number of manufacturers, AirPlay 2 is now a part of many TV brands, like LG, Roku, Samsung, and TCL, as well as one of my new favorites, Vizio. If you haven’t been paying attention to this company, you should because they are making impressive TVs at affordable prices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since 2018, Vizio has fitted all its HD TVs with SmartCast technology and AirPlay 2 compatibility. This means that you can connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod, and MacBook to your Vizio TV without any shady third-party app. Is that great?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Based on this, I convinced Michelle’s parents to buy a Vizio TV. It’s the perfect fit for them because it’s easy enough to use and right in their price range. As soon as we got it mounted and running, I sat them down and taught them how to set up AirPlay on Vizio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Knowing how to put AirPlay on Vizio TV sets, or really any TV set, is a basic life skill in my book.
