The M-Series has SmartCast built-in, allowing you to cast apps directly from your compatible smart device to the display via Wi-Fi. Its four HDMI ports provide connection to HD and UHD devices such as Blu-ray players, cable/satellite boxes, gaming systems, and more. It also features two USB ports for connecting portable drives. The display includes an Android touchscreen remote with a wireless charger and a standard IR remote.

This is a tuner-free display. If you use an external antenna to watch local over-the-air broadcast TV signals, a TV tuner is required and sold separately.

question

Does this unit have built in bluetooth technology
Asked by: Anonymous
It does, it uses Bluetooth to pair with your tablet/phone using the smartcast app. Dunno why these other answers are saying no as this is literally a question it asks when you're setting up the device. It can pair with the device either with WiFi or Bluetooth.

What is the weight ?

The shipping weight is 51.7 lb in the carton, and the TV itself is 36.16 lb with the stand, 24.17 lb if you hang it on the wall. Of course, the wall mount weight will depend on the type you buy.
