Vizio Quantum Pro Review | Has Vizio Staged a Comeback?

[@digitaltrends]

Make sure to also watch Caleb's take on why Walmart really bought Vizio: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5jGY5qrn6dlick

[@jamesphillips4599]

Doesn’t matter how good the screen is. I won’t buy it b/c of the Walmart-Vizio connection…for the reasons you state in your earlier video.

[@vcam-g9h]

This TV is obviously crap, how hard is it for Caleb to say I dont recomend it instead of going around corners.

[@IsaiasCarrillo-w7w]

Great video @digitaltrends ! I really enjoyed it. I'm looking for an OLED 55' tv. Is there one available to North America that supports both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision?

[@BobSure_AKA_PotatoSmasher]

I own a Vizio. Going on 10 years now. Working fine still.

[@SethLongdotcom]

TV reviews need to start including a dark content score. They can use scenes from House of The Unwatchable Darkness… err… Dragon. Seriously, though, how it handles dark scenes in HDR content is almost the only score I care about these days.

[@JamesGowan]

I own the 2020 Vizio P-series 85” and got it in early 2021 on sale for $2500 down from $3500 (Amazon),… I love it and am glad I watched your BEAST MODE video, Caleb. It helped me get the right TV at the perfect time!

[@jkasso]

Purchased this tv in both 65 and 75. The 65 was so clear, the colors so bright, and the processor very fast. Seriously the best buy out there in 65 inch TVs. Unreal. I strongly recommend buying. The 75 has very vibrant colors as well just not quite as sharp. Deepest blacks on a midrange TV with the brightest screen, just Amazing.

[@MrStroodle]

Me booting up the video to listen while I drive to work. “Buckle up!” * checks seat belt *

[@therealcoolchris]

Just a sidebar comment. I’ve always been a huge fan of your content. You have given some incredible insight on how I can pick the right TV fand I’ll always be thankful to you guys for it. But seeing King Michael’s album in the bokeh during this video warmed my heart and appreciation for you guys. Thank you for all that you do Caleb. I’ll be “rocking with you” for quite some time.

[@jmarcguy]

This review was a Thriller!! I had the Vizio M series (I think) & it was pretty good. First tv over 50” for me so I was happy. I hope they improve their quality.

[@Ptracer1]

looks like Vizio does not Wanna be starting something

[@brysonfry9612]

Hey Caleb, I have a Vizio P-Series Quantum X, P85QX-H1 in my basement and I’ve had it for over 3 years now. I really like the TV and I was thinking I heard you recommend using this TV on the calibrated dark picture settings. Do you feel like that is still the best picture setting to use out of the box because where I live there are no pro calibrators to come dial it in for me. Thanks! Really like the content you put out.

[@BFCINTL]

My first flatscreen HDTV was a 42" Vizio. I bought it on Black Friday in 2007. It replaced a hefty Sony Tinitron XBR that must've weighed 300 lbs. I was a Vizio fan for a long time, until the competition got better and my buying power improved. Now I'm almost exclusively in the Sony ecosystem.

[@SenpaiofNone]

Seeing you Panasonic ST60 make me miss my VT60 so bad. It fell during a move several years ago. I'm still recovering...

[@walidhannaoui1802]

Their Quantum X was amazing if you got one with no problems. You could get like 75 inch for sub 2k usd with decent game mode 120hz panel. But I miss my old plasma Vizio it was so nice and was an absolute tank of a tv lol

[@gregorycastorena7697]

Maybe a Vizio oled would be a decent replacement for your plasma

[@Averybryner]

I'm so glad I made the right call, I was going to wait for this review and maybe give Vizio one last shot because I used to really love Vizio but right before Christmas ended up purchasing a Hisense U8K and it's a beast compared to the Vizio's it just about every aspect.

[@AlteredVisionTV]

I have the “85 Vizio P Series Quantum X. I love it. It’s a great set in my opinion.

[@Godsdale]

Just bought the 65 inch version and all of the HDMI Ports do support 120hz at 4k not just the one that has it listed I checked with both the TV and my Console and they both said they were running at 120hz and I love it so much!

[@TheCrucialQ]

As someone who currently owns a 2016 Vizio P -Series, I have to say that the quality of their TVs went after there CTO left for security cameras.

[@Cakebattered]

I have a 2018 P series and I want it to die, so I can replace it, but it keeps on running.

[@TheFeist77]

surprise surprise, once Walmart owns it, it immediately goes downhill.

[@jordanbfromsk5191]

Still rocking the ST50 here. Looks amazing still. Tweeked the settings and it looks better than before. My first flat screen was an LG CRT if you can call it a flat screen, way back before it was a known brand. The tube went on it in less than 6 months, but the two year warranty got it fixed for me. Later I had problems with TWO LG cell phones. Really hard to trust the brand, IMO.

[@eluv2401]

I had bought the Vizio P series in 2016 which I loved at first but around 1.5 years later local dimming broke and they told me to buy a new TV. I told them I would never buy another Vizio again with Customer Service like that.

[@twlsaturn08]

Fair and balanced review. I watch using “Gaming HDR: On”.

[@bobsmith8077]

"The folks at Vizio have been wonderful to work with throughout this entire process..." That's lovely. Is that what TV reviewing is now - a hand-in-hand "process" with the manufacturer? Will the same folks be willing to spend the same amount of time being in direct contact with each and every customer? Because from my one experience with them - yes, a data set of N1 - it was a totally crap experience. Never could actually speak with anyone from Visio - just a gig worker who showed up in his wife's mom van with a used warranty replacement TV that was more broken than the one it was supposed to replace. PM'd Vizio again and was told too bad, I had my one shot. Would have loved to have had a "wonderful working relationship throughout the process" with them. Oh well.

Hi Caleb, is there a way to calibrate the colors of the TV, for example with the ColorChecker device? Or is it only for monitors and laptop screens? Is there a way to calibrate the colors of my TV economically? Or can it only be done with a professional probe and Calman software?

[@mragu166]

What if you used this Vizio with an Apple TV box to stream? Would you recommend it?

[@joanie5812]

The 65” was going for $599 during the holidays and it looked so good in the store. But customer reviews aligned with Thriller Caleb’s assessment, not could for dark movies or shows. Glad I got an LG instead.

[@schizowallflower]

I got the 50" Vizio MQ last year because it had the 240Hz PC gaming feature, which I don't do too often, but wanted to have it just in case. I haven't had any issues with the picture quality or the 120Hz performance for 4K gaming on my PS5. At least, none that are apparent to a casual like myself. My first non-CRT TV was a 32" Vizio in 2011 and I haven't had a Vizio since I replaced it in 2012, so it feels good to have one again.

[@crazeeeavery4203]

I’m glade I went with my gut and just got the q7. After a proper calibration the tv looks great and man the blacks.. This is my first tv with local dimming. My tv before the q7 was a Sony x800d, it had great color but compared to the newer q7 its picture is so dim and the hdr definitely washed the picture out.

[@seannnn_]

Still on the fence about buying the Q7, but it’s most likely going to be my next TV. Coming from an older 1080p Samsung which was great. Then a horrible Element brand TV I got for free after my cat accidentally hit the screen on the Samsung. Any other things you might mention after owning the Q7? Do you do any gaming on it?

[@crazeeeavery4203]

@@seannnn_Yeah, I primarily got it for gaming. Games look and run great on it. The tv does need to be calibrated out the box though. I noticed picture was a lot more pink out the box. If you’re looking for either of them, i got mine on amazon. Both are in stock. The main reason I went with the q7 over the 6 is the local dimming, the q6 doesn’t have it.

[@seannnn_]

@@crazeeeavery4203 ahhhh that’s good to know. I thought it also had local dimming. Have you tried the dolby vision during gaming? If so how is it? I know the Q6 caps at 60hz when turned on. If anything is there any way you can send me those settings or a link to them. I forsure plan on getting the Q7 this week if not next.

[@heirtothethrone000]

I think once companies got into smart Tvs things went down hill. I have an Vizio Gallevia that I still use as a computer monitor as a second TV and after 17 years of being on every day for 16 yrs and 9 months it still works well with only a remote issue. You don't get anything for value tvs today.

I've moved past budget oriented TV's at this point, so wasn't interested before Walmart got involved, now it's a straight run away for me. I have a question, what TV maker is Amazon going to buy mow? You know they aren't going to let Walmart be alone in TV hardware ownership.

[@paulcarroll627]

Just wondering why you’re using a window instead of full field as your test pattern (seeing it isn’t an OLED ) and do you profile your C-6 with a spectro before calibration ?

I felt I was listening to you constantly forgiving the TV for sub-par performance as well as trying to push it over the finish line. Certainly not "Comeback" level. That is very sad as I like Vizio too being that they are in my backyard here in So Cal. I guess we'll see how they do moving forward now that Walmart has purchased them... I'm rooting for them, especially in the soundbar segment.

I’m considering buying this TV because it is good for bright rooms (semi-gloss so low reflection) and has wide viewing angles. Few TVs have both. The Sony XR A80L OLED has both but is double the cost and not as bright. If anyone has a suggestion of one that has both, let me know.

But even after the various firmware updates it's still very buggy and my wife gets tired of me fussing lol. Then I have the 2019 M series in my bedroom. That one works great for the most part but of course it's considerably dimmer than the P series but it's ok since we watch it going to sleep most of the time. The bugs of my P series tho irks my soul especially when I'm gaming it cuts off out of the blue or changes my configurations at random. From reviews I saw I wasn't the only one having these problems with the P series but it just bugs me that I paid a lot for that P series in 2020. No more Vizios for me.

[@wombat5252]

If you have the money to spend, buy an OLED. Best decision I made. It's mind boggling how much of a better difference an OLED panel is, no matter the brand. Sony, Samsung or LG...go with a newer OLED and you won't need another TV for 10+ years (unless you're going to run it 24/7 obviously). If you want cheap, then a TCL is better than this Vizio. If you like to game though, this Vizio is the best you can get for the price because of the 120hz. Other brands don't offer the 120hz refresh rate at this price yet.

I bought into Vizio during the height of their P-series sets when they were giving insane visual quality for a midrange price point. Both sets started randomly rebooting around the second year and one died completely soon after that. I replaced the board in that one two years ago and it just died again. The other set still randomly reboots but now has weird lines that make the TV look interlaced, so I'm sure it's on the way out. These problems were apparently pretty common, which created a big secondary market for the mainboards on eBay. I would never recommend a Vizio again. Just got an 85" TCL QM8 and said goodbye to the Vizios. Fingers crossed.
