Vizio is clearly wooing gamers with its new 4K TV collection, now featuring all the essentials needed for next-gen consoles, including HDMI 2.1, crucial for TVs with high refresh rates, in addition to HDR and 4K. You will have to wait for the company highly OLED units advance until a little later this year.
In general, HDMI 2.1 is only included in super expensive TVs This could be a problem if, for example, you plan to buy the Xbox Series X Later this year, and I want to take advantage of the powerful performance it’s expected to provide, but you don’t have enough cash left to buy an expensive TV. The Vizio V-Series, however, supports the 2.1 inputs needed for the next generation of consoles at a surprisingly decent price: from $ 230 for a 40-inch screen to $ 800 for a 70-inch model. That could be one of the cheapest ways to get HDMI 2.1 so far, and the new collection supports low input lag, 4K, and HDR. (We have contacted to find out how high the refresh rate will be.)
Vizio’s most expensive P Quantum X series offers up to 3,000 nits of maximum brightness and 800 nits of full-screen brightness. Brightness is crucial if you want your HDR to really explode and feel like it’s worth the money you spent. Higher maximum brightness is almost always better. P Series units come in 65, 75 and 85 inch models, from $ 1,500 to $ 2,300.
Meanwhile, the P Quantum series, a very good tv We Love It: It offers 240 local dimming zones and 1,200 nits of maximum brightness and starts at $ 1,200 (up to $ 1,700) for its 65 and 75-inch screen sizes. The company’s M Quantum series, the intermediary between Vizio’s premium P series and its affordable V series, will also support HDMI 2.1. Vizio’s upgraded (but more expensive) MQ8 units come in 55 and 65 inches for $ 550- $ 750 and are sold exclusively through Amazon. MQ7 televisions will be available at other major retailers on 50, 55, and 65-inch displays between $ 400 and $ 700.

And, holy shit! An OLED! Vizio’s foray into the OLED space will arrive with its 4K HDR SmartCast televisions in a 55-inch and 65-inch version. They will ship in the fall, starting at $ 1,300 (up to $ 2,000). This is a space currently dominated by Sony and LG, but Vizio is undercutting the price of both for similar models. Vizio could still become an OLED favorite, though the display type can be difficult to achieve. There is also the question of whether Vizio is using its own panels or whether Sony or LG supplies them. If the latter, that would mean that the difference in quality between its televisions and that of its competitors could be much less than it seems.
Lastly, Vizio is starting to launch its latest line of sound bars, with the V-Series 2.1 now available for $ 180. Its V-Series 5.1, which will cost $ 250, will be available on July 5, while its bar M-Series All in One 2.1 sound system will drop later in the month of July 26 for $ 150. Its high-end unit, the 18-speaker Elevate 5.1.4 that comes equipped with Dolby Atmos and DTS: X, will begin to shipped in the fall for $ 1,000.
If you are looking for a new TV, Vizio presents a solid argument for itself:especially If you are a player in the market for a new unit that will not absolutely ruin the bank. Buying one now could take the sting out of a Christmas console splurge.
