Turn out the lights and the bright, vibrant display will light up a room.
Every TV manufacturer promises their latest and greatest will turn any room into a home theater, but the P-Series Quantum actually delivers on that promise, and then some. Vizio’s marketing materials promise “cinematic intensity” and the Quantum delivers exactly that. It’s no OLED, but to the naked eye the P-Series Quantum comes close. OLED TVs start at nearly $3,000 and eventually get down to $1,700 or so toward the end of each year. But they’re very expensive, especially at large sizes like 65 inches.
Instead of having a panel of backlights, every pixel lights itself up, producing richer colors and inky blacks. These displays are literally made out of millions of microscopic LEDs that turn on and off independently. At the moment, the only thing better is an OLED TV.Ĭhiefly manufactured by LG, OLED TVs use a wholly different display technology responsible for both their razor-thin form factors, and impossibly crisp and vivid displays. Without getting too into the weeds, quantum dots help TVs produce sharp, vibrant, and cinematic colors-the best and brightest you can get with LED-backlit LCD displays. Quantum dots are basically an additional filter layer inside an LED-backlit LCD TV, these filters are comprised of nano-scale semiconductors that can produce vivid red, blue, or green light. That’s the display technology pushes this TV ahead of its more affordable siblings. Quantum is in the name of this TV, so let’s talk about quantum dots. I own a Sony Bravia that's just a few years old and much thicker. Still, it’s surprisingly svelte for its size. Its profile and razor-thin bezels make it seem much thinner than it is, but it is thicker than a competitive OLED would be. Because of their display technology, OLEDs can get mere millimeters thin, but the P-Series Quantum is an LCD TV with a grid of LED backlights behind it. If this were an LG OLED TV, I'd expect a thin profile. It is stunningly large and quite thin for an LCD TV: half an inch at its thinnest point and just over 2 inches at its thickest. Since it was wider than my dining-room table, I ended up pushing two Ikea bookshelves together as a makeshift TV stand. They have a number of advantages I’ll get into a little later, but unlike smaller TVs with center-mounted pedestal stands, they're too wide for many TV stands, tables, and shelves. Any 65-inch TV is enormous, and Vizio's four aluminum support legs require a very wide surface to stand on. Unless you already have one of these TVs in your living room, office, or lair, you’re probably going to have to play a bit of furniture Tetris to make room.
