That's very much TBD. I'll lean towards Vizio since it's offering wider support for older models, hinting that Apple feels comfortable enough with Vizio's hardware and their ability to run these services.
I think Vizio is not available in uk

I literally just bought an LG UHD set in late November.
As others have suggested - I could plug in an Apple TV, but that's just another thing to buy. The TV already has Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and a few other common apps built-in. It is so nice to just plug in the TV with the only wire being the power cord.
NU8000 = 8 series? I’m confused.
Have you actually tried those apps on a modern tv? I have a year old tv that runs Netflix instantly, no different than Apple TV.You know there’s this gadget called Apple TV that will outperform any of these TVs with built-in support. Have you ever tried to use the built-in apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc? Can you say sloooooowwwww? No need to shed a tear.
Or maybe even this year. I bought a new-model Samsung in early 2017, expecting it to, at least eventually, have a native DirecTV Now app, which was touted at its release (in December, 2016). It's finally coming now, but not for my TV.Shedding a collective tear for all those folks (myself included) that purchased a non-supported TV within the last few years.

No one would buy an AppleTV just to use airplay either. I mean honestly, how often does this situation of needing to toss a video to the TV really come up?
Hopefully Vizio expands this to also include the 2016 P-Series as they are the exact same hardware as the 2017 models, they just changed the remote they included. I don't care so much about the Airplay 2 but I would love the Homekit to be able to switch inputs and power with Siri.
Actually a medal would be nice. I would look at it as a proof that I didn’t waste my life on mostly pointless “content” consumption. As a positive side effect I don’t have to whine that Apple products are too expensive.Want a medal or something?
I guess the architecture of the Vizio smart TVs is different - their 2017 models on are compatible already. Wonder what the difference is?
Why? Apple TV is still the best way to experience and consume your content on the biggest screen in your home.
