Vizio Rolls Out Newest TV and Surround Sound Models

Vizio, the consumer electronics brand that was once considered a start-up, can now safely be said to be an “upstart,” constantly challenging both the legacy brands LG, Samsung, and Sony, as well as other former “tier two” companies, like TCL and Hisense that have graduated to the top of the sales and feature ranks to rank among the industry’s top selling TV lines. Along the way, Vizio also has become a significant player in the sound bar market, with models from basic to advanced, object-based systems.

Vizio is elevating its mid-range TVs and soundbars 

Vizio has long been known as a budget TV brand, but over the past few years the company started to push into premium territory with its P-Series and OLED TVs, as well as the rotating Elevate Dolby Atmos soundbar. This year, Vizio is focusing on its more affordable mid-range devices. That includes its M-Series Quantum X (MQX) TVs, which deliver a bevy of features that gamers will appreciate, as well as the M-Series Elevate soundbar, which brings the rotating Dolby Atmos functionality of the original Elevate down to a lower price-range.

Vizio MQX-Series TV Serves Up Local Dimming, 120Hz Gaming for Less

Finding the best picture quality for the money is the main object of CNET's TV reviews, and over the years Vizio has been one of my go-to value picks. I haven't reviewed the company's new MQX series yet, but what I've seen so far ups last year's ante by adding some sought-after upgrades while maintaining an affordable price.

I got the chance to see the MQX in person on Vizio's demo bus. Yes, it's a bus-full of TVs and soundbars that drives around the US showing off Vizio's latest gear. In my brief viewing session it looked good, but I'll have to wait until I get it into CNET's test lab to evaluate the upgrades for realzies. Those upgrades include improved brightness -- up to 1,000 nits peak according to Vizio -- as well as a 120Hz refresh rate, which allows the TVs to take advantage of the best 4K/120Hz video output quality from PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

Vizio is among the first TV manufacturers to support Wi-Fi 6 streaming, available in all M-Series and V-Series TVs, which it says can help relieve congestion in homes with multiple connected devices.

The 9 Best Prime Day TV Deals

Our runner-up pick in our guide to 4K TVs on a budget, the M-Series is a solid TV that performs nearly as well as our top pick. Though our testers said that the Vizio offered good picture quality for its price, as well as nice gaming features (such as HDMI 2.1), they found that the integrated SmartCast streaming platform was largely mediocre. Matching the lowest price we’ve seen, this deal makes the M-Series a great option for those who don’t want to break the bank.
