Vizio makes two lines of TVs: the M-Series and the E-Series. All Smart TV models have built-in widgets, called Vizio Internet Apps Plus, and you can choose free apps such as Yahoo Finance and News, or third-party apps to which you can subscribe, such as Netflix or Hulu Plus. There are hundreds from which to choose. The process for adding widgets is the same for both the 2014 M-Series and the E- Series.
