The Vizio PX doesn’t offer any of the benefits emerging from the new HDMI 2.1 standard. There are only two potentially deal-breaking aspects of this TV: Poor off-angle viewing (which I’ll discuss shortly) and lack of future-proofing.

On the one hand, picture quality at this price seems like a no-brainer, but on the other hand, I wonder if being led to premium TV waters by an accessible price might induce some indecision among enthusiasts. I can’t tell if this TV makes purchasing decisions harder or easier. While the P-Series Quantum X is no longer in the building, the impression it left has really stuck with me. Fortunately, Vizio makes a very comprehensive selection of excellent soundbars to beef up the audio experience. Sound qualityįrankly, I was hoping for better sound considering the TVs cabinet volume allows for reasonably sized speakers. It is not a deal breaker, especially with so many streaming device options available. While I felt compelled to talk about my lackluster take on SmartCast, I want to be clear: Don’t avoid buying this TV based on this one element of my review. Vizio also says the new interface is snappier, a claim I look forward to testing. These new Apple features are not unique to Vizio, but Vizio is bringing these Apple features to its array of smart TVs dating all the way back to 2016 – something competing brands aren’t doing. This TV’s intended audience should just go ahead and click that “Buy Now” button. What I can say about SmartCast 3.0 for now is that it brings Apple AirPlay 2, Apple HomeKit, and some enhanced compatibility with Amazon’s Alexa and the Google Assistant through associated smart speakers.

While I’ve not had a chance to test SmartCast 3.0 yet, I will do so soon and update this review. The best thing I could say about the experience was that the built-in Chromecast features worked pretty well. It was slow, laggy, and strangely enough, there was no YouTube app available. At the time, I found myself frustrated by the user experience. When I tested this TV and recorded my unboxing and review videos, Vizio had not yet released the latest version of its smart TV operating system, SmartCast 3.0. It’s a sleek looking TV that’s worthy of the price you’ll pay. Once the TV is set up and you stare it down dead-on, you can see where Vizio put most of its design efforts: Almost non-existent bezels on the top and sides, and a very inconspicuous Vizio badge in the lower right corner. Fortunately, we have a huge media console so it was no problem, but if you’re considering the Vizio PX, do some measuring before you buy to make sure it will fit (or plan on a new piece of furniture, I suppose). Included metal legs are installed at the far left and right of the TV, and for the 65-inch model we tested, that meant we needed 51-inches of width on our media stand. This TV is a space hog in other ways, though - if you stand-mount it, anyway.

The Vizio PX is not exactly svelte – it’s got full array local dimming (FALD) backlights that need some space, so don’t expect a wafer-thin TV, but the display still manages to keep a reasonably tight profile. This is a Vizio TV that can compete with the best TVs available today. Still, the Vizio delivers where it counts: Picture quality. Also, the Sony X950G isn’t that far off at $1,700 for a 65-incher, and it is the best 4K HDR LED TV Sony makes this year. To be fair, Samsung offers a lot in its flagship 4K TV, with features the Vizio P-Series Quantum X (hereto referred to as the Vizio PX) just doesn’t have.

To put that into perspective, consider this: At $2,800, Samsung’s flagship Q90R series costs twice as much as Vizio’s, and Samsung asks $4,300 for the privilege of owning its 75-inch Q90R – again, almost twice as much. If you want to step up to the 75-inch monster, Vizio will happily accommodate you for $2,200. The 65-inch version of this TV (the size reviewed here) is now selling for $1,400 (down $800 from its debut price, which didn’t last long). When Vizio created the P-Series Quantum X, it dropped the mic on the TV industry’s stage.
