Vizio P Series XLED 2. Review (P5. 5- E1, P6. E1, P7. 5- E1)The Vizio P Series 2. LED TV with excellent picture quality in a dark room.
It's exactly the same as the P Series 2. Mostly thanks to its great local dimming, the P Series can produce very deep blacks. It's a great gaming TV too thanks to its low input lag and motion blur.
Unfortunately, though, its picture quality degrades when viewed from an angle, and its input lag is a bit high with HDR content. Update 8/1. 0/2. 01. Converted to Test Bench 1. It has a wide metal stand, which supports the TV well but requires a large table. It is stable, and most of the inputs can be easily accessed if wall mounted. It looks quite good, but won't stand out as much as some other high- end TVs such as the MU9.
The Vizio M Series 2017 is a good 4k UHD LED TV that works best in a dark room. It produces deep and uniform blacks, and its great handling of motion and good in. Offers prices, classifieds, vocabulary, testimonials, pictures and model comparisons.
SJ8. 50. 0. The stand of the TV is quite wide, but is strong and provides very good support. It feels high quality too, due to the heavy metal. Footprint of the 6.
Most of the inputs are easy to access even if placed next to a wall as they run parallel to the back of the TV. The borders have an average thickness, but still look quite good with a textured metal finish. Max Thickness. 2. It will stick out a bit if wall mounted, but the metal borders look good. Maximum Temperature. There are air vents along the top and bottom of the TV that keep it cool. The build quality of the P Series 2.
Metal is used along the frame and for the stand, so the TV feels quite rugged. The rear plastic has a bit of flex, but this isn't an issue for normal use. The Vizio P 2. 01. LED TV has a good picture quality. The impressive contrast ratio and outstanding black uniformity make for a great dark room performance and with its deep blacks, dark scenes reproduction is excellent. When set in a bright room, the very good SDR peak brightness and its great capacity to deal with reflection mean that the Vizio P 2. Hd Quality Sicario (2015) Watch.
The gray uniformity could be better though and those who are sensitive to dirty screen effect might notice it, especially in a sport like ice hockey. The viewing angle is poor and relegates the best picture quality to a narrow zone right in front of the TV. Finally, HDR looks great on the 2. Vizio P thanks to the wide color gamut, high HDR peak brightness, and great local dimming. Contrast. Native Contrast. Contrast with local dimming.
Great native contrast ratio for the 2. Vizio P TV. This high native contrast ratio means that dark scenes will be displayed really well and with really deep blacks, especially when the TV is set in a dark room. When the local dimming is turned on, the contrast ratio nearly doubles, which is even better.
This is a clear sign that the local dimming is very effective. The black level is literally cut in half, which is great for HDR content, especially HDR movies. Local Dimming. Local Dimming. Full- Array. The Vizio P 2. In fact, it is the same as the 2.
Vizio P, since the TV is essentially the same. Overall, the local dimming does a good job limiting the blooming around our moving highlight, but similarly, as the 2. Fortunately, this is less obvious when watching movies and we recommend to turn the on the local dimming feature, named 'Active LED Zones' on this Vizio TV.
Long before ransomware and large-scale hacks became everyday problems, viruses were crawling into our desktops and infecting our screens. These days, smartph.

HDR ABL. Plot over time. Decent HDR peak brightness, but not as good as it could be because of the TV's local dimming behavior.
Most TVs with local dimming make highlights brighter than their full screen white brightness, however the Vizio P dims highlights in even normal scenes, so its full screen white is its highest brightness. Because of this highlights in dim scenes will be much less bright than intended. Because of this behavior the overall brightness is less than the X9. E, which has a similar full screen white brightness.

In HDR the 'Backlight' setting doesn't change the peak brightness, but changes the brightness of everything else, as explained in the Color Gamut section of the review. Backlight 5. 0 is recommended for a dark room and Backlight 1. Gray Uniformity. 50% Std.
The corners and sides are all a bit darker than the center, with some faint darker vertical band also visible in the center. Luckily, the vertical bands in the center are not very visible while watching normal content since they are just a bit darker than the average of the screen. Dirty screen effect is visible very slightly and not very annoying. Looking at our 5% gray uniformity test picture, you can see that both sides are slightly brighter, but this is only a result of the narrow viewing angle.
Viewing Angle. LCD Type. VA (except 5. 5. Blacks turn grey and colors shift when the TV is viewed from a small angle, while brightness decreases at a more moderate angle. This TV isn't well suited for a room where people often view the TV from the side. The native black uniformity (when the local dimming is turned off) is very good and the overall screen blacks are very uniform. There is not any visible clouding or flashlighting near the corners or sides, which is very good. When the local dimming is turned on, there is some blooming around the center white cross, but once again, it is very limited and we can clearly see that the local dimming implementation is very good on the 2. Vizio P. 8. 6. Gradient.
Color Depth. The gradient is very smooth with only some small imperfection in the darker shades of colors, but this is nothing really problematic overall. The performance is almost the same as the Vizio P Series 2. Pre Calibration. White Balance d. E. The Vizio P 2. TV is set to the 'Calibrated Dark' picture mode and with the 'Normal' color temperature. It is still a bit warm on the 'Normal' color temperature, but it is far more accurate than the 2 other color temperature available ('Computer' and 'Cool').
As is, this TV could be used by almost anyone without the need to do a calibration. Overall, the white balance d.
E is not bad as it is just a bit over the 3. As for the gamma, it is tracking very closely our 2.
Finally, the color d. E is very reasonable and should not really be a problem as is, unless you are a professional who has already worked with other calibrated monitors or TVs. Post Calibration. White Balance d. E. After calibration, the Vizio P Series 2. The white balance control works well and is accurate and precise, as each IRE control points does not affect the adjacent points. The color space management ('Color Tuner') is also very effective and the whole color d.
E was brought down to 0. Finally, the gamma curve was flattened to track our 2. You can find our calibration settings here. Input. Upscaling of low- quality content such as DVDs is a bit more blocky than other TVs, similar to the Vizio P Series 2. Input. 72. 0p content such as cable looks decent when upscaled. Some minor haloing artifacts are visible and the image is slightly more soft than most other TVs.
