Tech giant Google is working with Vizio to develop a TV that is Chromecast-ready. It is no longer a secret in the tech community that Google is working to integrate its Google TV service into TV models.
Google has reportedly been busy negotiating with TV manufacturers creating TVs that will support a Chromecast-like service. One of the rumored TV manufacturer Google has been working on is Vizio.

Rumors indicate that Google and Vizio are working on a new smart TV that will integrate Chromecast services. Moreover, there are speculations claiming that Vizio is also working on a tablet remote that runs on the Android platform.
Vizio had already tried to create its own tablet device that runs on the Android platform in the past. However, integrating the device into a smart TV would be a step further.
With the current growth of the Internet, users have started to lean towards smart TV experience. This is the reason why casting is slowly growing into a popular platform. Android TVs are already casting-ready. However, integrating the feature into brand new TVs has been an ongoing struggle for Google.
Google Cast enabled TVs are expected to arrive as soon as spring. Experts agree that creating a Chromecast-enabled TV would be a good boost for Vizio's market.
Market analysts also agree that creating more Wi-Fi connected TVs will be a good push for Vizio, especially if it will works hand-in-hand with Google technologies. Vizio also has its own InScape technology which is a huge feature for those who are in favor of Wi-Fi enabled TVs.
Google Chromecast currently has a price tag of $35. The device's ease of use is one of its selling point. Should Google and Vizio come up with a new Chromecast-enabled smart TV, market analysts are speculating that it will be a big hit especially for consumers who are streaming online content.
