Vizio Quantum Pro Review | Has Vizio Staged a Comeback?

The Vizio Quantum Pro is not the over-the-top, ultra-premium, nit-bursting TV the P-Series Quantum X was … this is a more value-oriented TV - which has always been Vizio’s bread and butter. And, it’s got Vizio’s new “Home Screen” that’s what Vizio calls its smart TV platform, plus, it boasts some encouraging specs for its price.

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.

[@user-oq6sc1qm4j]

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

[@user-gf7tg1rf6i]

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?

[@MrStroodle]

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

[@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.

[@ramellmerced8899]

Vizio did their thing with this TV I brought it and I got a great one and it's amazing don't let reviews change your mind. I've had it for 5 days so far and it has gotten major updates since this review

[@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.

[@JamesGowan]

I had the 2020 Vizio P-series 85” and got it in early 2021 on sale for $2500 (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!

[@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

[@SenpaiofNone]

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

[@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.

[@ModeMan101]

I swear when I clicked on the thumbnail in my feed the title read "Not Exactly A Comeback"... 🤔🤣

[@LoopyChew]

It did. I saw that title, too.

[@LeezahB]

Me too!

[@TaylorCFP]

It definitely was!

[@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

[@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.

[@conchobar]

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

[@AlteredVisionTV]

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

[@HitmanLEGEND]

I understand your video and comparing Vizio to others models and all that but Vizio is still a great TV maker and has been for years here in America it won't break as easy as heisense and looks way better than Tcl comparing it to Sony lg or Samsung isn't really fair but I understand why you do it. Overall liked your video and views but everyone is entitled to like what they like. And I think Vizio is just fine.

[@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.

[@Hakyish]

Thank you so much for this detailed review! I was going to buy one and I was a little skeptical about it… I’m going for the Hisense instead 😊

[@twlsaturn08]

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

[@SlurpTheFoxHole]

Caleb, love the Thriller album behind you. Still have it myself!

[@TranquilEarth]

You must be a fan of Epstein work as well.

[@mikewilson436]

That was an excellent review. It is very refreshing to not see a commercial masquerading as a review.

[@catheryndavis8991]

Thank you for your honesty on this. I’m a oled fan but some people are not and this will help them make good decisions.

[@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.

[@LeezahB]

Thanks for the interesting review! Thriller!!

[@SeeonX]

You were too nice. :) Thank you for the review!

[@BobSure_AKA_PotatoSmasher]

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

[@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.

[@davids4610]

similar experience recently with a M quantum dot. never again.

[@TheCrucialQ]

Mine still works and looks great.

[@SavedbyGracethroughFaithAlone]

Yes ,same here….had a PQX ,broke 3 years later,thank God I bought from Costco as the warranty is top notch and now I have a beautiful Sony oled….I’ll never buy another vizio ,the quality just is not there and now China mart owns them,cough cough!!!!

[@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.

[@GeeWin5]

whoa, I had that exact TV as well for my first!

[@richardvacanti9428]

I remember when I got my first flatscreen TV back in 2008, it was a dumb TV 47 inches Vizio what all the bells and whistles and it had 240 motion. And guess what I paid a small fortune for it. $1200 at BJ’s. But it’s in my man cave downstairs and still workswith no problem and the remote is better than most TVs today

[@mdchavez07]

I’m more curious on your feelings about those T66’s! Triton 1 owner here, love Goldenear!

[@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.

[@capick1646]

You are 100%. I had the same issue watching Star Wars.

[@loum.4377]

I'm done with Vizeo, I had P series it lasted 14 months and burn out on the screen. Had Costco 4 year Allstate and got a new Samsung pro. Now I have the best.

[@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?

[@seannnn_]

Right now looking at the Q7 or trying to get my hands on one of TCL 6 Series mini-led

[@crazeeeavery4203]

@@seannnn_ I got it on Amazon. They have both the q6 and q7 available right now. I went with q7 for gaming and the q6 doesn’t have local dimming.

[@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.

[@Pinnaclesuccessgroup]

I have bought several Vizio TV's. My favorite is my Vizio OLED. It is a phenomenal TV. I got a great deal on it. Also, I bought it after all the corrections to the firmware were available. Then, it upgraded to os system to the new one, which is another big plus!

[@Alex-The-throat-goat]

Omg those updates were HELL 😭

[@fr3ddy1461]

Those updates were really needed for the OLED TV.

[@sirjonsmithiii992]

I used to gush about Vizio. I did have a Quantum X. But after three different Vizio's around my home, that had non-stop small issues and all completely died within three years, I will not buy them again.

[@rowdyrobby9034]

Thanks. I was ready to buy the Vizio quantum. Any recommendations on a 50" TV about $300-400?

[@WhipLashOG]

I think Vizio makes great TVs. It’s in my personal top 5. & personal go to.

[@fr3ddy1461]

Vizio Oled owner here 3 years strong and what a panel and screen for the price! Not to mention the features for half the price of its competitors, it’s a shame Vizio pulled out of the premium category…

[@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.

[@chch9570]

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?

[@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.

[@mahfah7911]

Shout out for Mr Jackson in the background !!! 👏

[@BaleIsBatman]

Love your reviews, but you need to take a stance and give negative reviews when they're warranted. "I'm not saying don't buy it, but there's a better option at the same price". Then why aren't you saying "don't buy it"?

[@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 ?

[@Antimonkat]

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.

[@Threlly]

Could I just use it as a monitor?

[@charlesbuchanan9203]

I just heard Walmart just bought them out and now own Vizio

[@dennysheldon1682]

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.

[@JeremiahHartmanPhotography]

Ive been looking at the 50" for a PC monitor...not the best, but definitely not the worst.

[@mragu166]

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

[@ramen4ninjas411]

This is maybe an old question but, how do you read the color checker scale?

[@williamsowell3041]

Do you think the Hisense u7k is better than the TCL Q7

[@user-vz7hd7lc8r]

Hello! Please advise me the best Mini-Led TV with excellent picture quality, contrast and sound? I am considering the brand Sony, LG, Samsung, some of them are the best models.

[@oKacz]

How does this compare to the TCL Q7?

[@brucethen]

"The Expanse" showed how bad the local dimming was on my LG 55SM9800. Hence, I upgraded to a U8K

[@kadajawi2]

But wait, that's a ZT60, not a ST60, right? Awesome TV, btw.

[@fullhd5277]

You even deserve a comment my friend 👍🏻

[@movie_av_impulse]

16:15 I don't know if you guys know this but this Guy Caleb did a video on Walmart buying Vizio 😅 you all should watch it

[@Gregturner1970]

Can you look at LG QNED 90 T

[@framo_official]

i wish you could make a video for EUROPE.. currently looking to buy a 65-75" tv, saw the TCL QM8. Turns out europe model sucks. Saw the Hisense U8K, turns out Europe model suxx.... what a bummer.

[@dennyhiett6271]

I had a hdmi port to go bad on my 65q9j01 vizio tv and vizio replaced the main board, was still under warranty, but now the super resolution is greyed out. Do you know a way to access it.

[@eddieevangelista6014]

So I'm guessing Vizio will no longer make OLED tvs?

The P Quantum X were amazing tvs. Idk why they are calling these the best now when they aren't on the same level.

[@peaceblasterr]

Bong Rips for Nit Nerds!

[@DeaconGoss]

I'm soured on Vizio now. I have two of them currently. The 2020 P series is in my living room. It's a good tv when it's working correctly. 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.

[@TheCrucialQ]

I guess I got lucky with 2016 P-Series, it's been going strong for nearly 8 years now.

[@Remix26]

No mention of gaming, the 120hz mode vrr. No mention of how many dimming zones, port situation. Missing a lot of info for a review.

[@nitmare64]

Google it bruh. It wasn’t with his time. TV is trash.

[@Remix26]

@@nitmare64 I can google anything about the tv. Not the point, I wanted to leave feedback. This tv is actually amazing if you are using it mostly for gaming. Should’ve been mentioned in the review.

Easy to blame bean counters it this doesn’t sound like a cost problem.

[@Johnedwardpeterson]

My 2019 Vizio P series quantum is pretty amazing as a display but it won’t connect to the internet anymore which doesn’t bother me because I use Roku ultra… unless they make a comeback my next tv one day will be the successor to the Sony x95L which cost an arm and a leg.

I have owned one vizio in my life and the problems with that thing were so vast that it's what prompted me to get into TV tech and learn all that I have in the first place. Never, ever again with Vizio. Just no. But I thank them for teaching me what quality SHOULD look like and that their TVs just ain't it.

[@Gen_X_Gamer_79]

The best Vizio Tv is the H1 OLED. It’s not even close.

[@RandyBandit34]

Whyd they stop making 65 inch mqx tvs? That one was better than this right.

[@jayel27]

I just curbed a Vizio that lasted only 3 years before it started to fail all around. Terrible software. Terrible build. I’d love to see you do some long term reviews. Almost all TVs are good in some respect out the box. But give it time and you get to see how they handle life. I replaced it with a hisense U7K after having bought two cheaper hisense TVs and I’m very happy with it. I’ll stick with googleTV for onboard software for now. Always have an appleTV connected because it’s just a better experience.

[@lyledal]

I have what is likely a dumb question: Are there any 4K TVs out there that are not "smart?"

[@TheReverendSlim]

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.

[@coldcutcombo4704]

Well you made another mistake buying a TCL. I hope it lasts longer than the Vizio.

[@TheReverendSlim]

[@dhowting]

I wish, like some audio companies' speakers, you could get a tv encased in a GLOSS WHITE bezel/frame......I know I know, it would probably have some kind of visual "interference" or distraction, being a bright shiny shade but I DON'T CARE!! LOL.......and know but I don't want to OVER spend on something like Samsungs "The Frame" just to put a customized bezel on it 😅😅😅

[@wade196840]

Why are you comparing the vizio a ips panel tv against tcl and Hisense va panel tvs? Shouldn't you compare the vizio to other ips panel tv?
